[Mailman-Developers] Patch: ignoring (no subject) in the subject line of a administrativerequest

2001-04-27 Thread Ralf Laue

Just a simple but useful patch:
If someone sends an administrative request to the -request address, he
or she may leave the subject line empty, writing the commands(s) in the
body of the message.
Netscape and other mailers suggest a default subject (no subject), and
the sender will get an error report because (no subject) is no valid
command.

Best Wishes,
Ralf

[Mailman-Developers] Small nntp server?

2001-04-27 Thread Dale Newfield

I'm looking to utilize Mailman's Mail-News and News-Mail gateways, but I'm
really not interested in serving any other newsgroups, and I don't
particularly need to push these news articles upstream to anyplace.  (And
I don't want to worry about propogation to subscribers sites, or net-wide
spam, so I think I'd like to serve it all from our box.)

Does anyone have a (free?) unix based nntp server they'd suggest that can
be configured to be stand-alone (no pushing upstream or downstream), and
would handle 10's of local newsgroups and ~1000 subscribers reasonably
well?

We're running a FreeBSD box if that matters.
