Well I got this one.
That's the problem with using an ancient piece of crap like ezmlm, it
has horrid management period, especially since ezmlm lists (thank god
theres only 2 of them left that I'm on) send bounce probe message 3
weeks or so later after the block message, and 9/10 times its always
because of an RBL entry, the list needs upgrading to either Ecartis or
Mailman, one of the two, but I suspect it'll remain in teh dark ages for
some time to come.
Hi Res,
Ecartis which was last updated in 2003 because of a security issue? Is
that the one you are recommending? How would changing mailing list
managers help that email is almost entirely broken (the perl.org servers
reject something like 9993 out of 10000 incoming mails -- an incredible
amount of spam and viruses).
Ezmlm does indeed have deficiencies, but I don't see that this is one of
them. (If anyone cares, the big feature of ezmlm is that it's insanely
robust. It's uniquely "just works" software. It is requiring very
minimal ongoing maintenance and it makes it very easy for just a few
volunteers to run 150+ lists).
Anyway -- all this is off-topic here; if you or anyone else would like
to follow-up, do it to [email protected]. :-)
