Mailman has optional content filtering. If you turn it off, Mailman will pass the message to the list with all attachment's intact, or you can set it to pass or remove only some attachments based on file extension (.mp3 etc) or content type (audio/mpeg, etc). >2.

If someone replies to the email I send them via MM, where is that >email sent to? The email address I used to send the message to my MM list >for distribution? Or the mailing list email itself?

Thirty minutes ago I added two of my email addresses to a test list >([EMAIL PROTECTED]), then I sent an email with a 4MB mp3 attached to >[EMAIL PROTECTED] Neither of those email addresses have received that >email yet. Did I do it right? How long does MM normally take to send? Is Mailman running on your server? Normally, this should take only a bit longer than just mailing the file to the two addresses. See <http://wiki.list.org/x/A4E9>. >If I >was to send the same email to, say, 1,000 contacts, how long should I >reasonably expect it to take for everyone to receive the email? It depends mostly on the bandwidth of your servers connection to the internet. How long does it take to push up to 4GB through that pipe. >5. The Plesk pdf tells me I can access the mailing list by going to >http://lists.<my-domain.com>/mailman/admin/<listname> (in my case, >http://lists.dunndealpr.com/mailman/admin/djs), but when I do so I receive >an error message. Why? Because the name lists.dunndealpr.com is not known to DNS. I can get to your admin login page at the URL <http://dunndealpr.com/mailman/admin/djs>. You either need to set up Mailman with your web domain as dunndealpr.com or www.dunndealpr.com or some other known domain or you have to set up a DNS A or CNAME record for lists.dunndealpr.com. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
