This is from the code comments in the file CalcRecips.py. # Support for urgent messages, which bypasses digests and disabled # delivery and forces an immediate delivery to all members Right Now. We # are specifically /not/ allowing the site admins password to work here # because we want to discourage the practice of sending the site admin # password through email in the clear. (see also Approve.py) I would assume, from this, that the mechanism is the same as for an "Approved:" header or pseudo-header. If you have a mail program that can add arbitrary headers then you can add a true mail header, with "Urgent: some_password". If your mail program won't do this, you can use a pseudo-header by putting "Urgent: password" as the very first line in a post to the list ('password' is either the admin or moderator password. There must be no lines above this pseudo-header in the email body, and it must be left-justified. -- Lindsay Haisley | "We are all broken | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | toasters, but we | available at 512-259-1190 | still manage to make |<http://pubkeys.fmp.com> http://www.fmp.com | toast" | | (Cheryl Dehut) | ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
