In the ARF reports, I don't think you're going to see copies of the 
footers.  Not even copies of the message.  Just the headers, of which 
all the useful information will be deleted by AOL.


Moreover, even if you did get copies of the footers (as you have in 
the past, with the non-ARF reports), the people at AOL are smart 
enough to see that there is non-anonymized information in the footers 
and to fix that with the next update of the software.



So, either way, we're screwed.  AOL is determined to delete any and 
all data that would actually be useful to us in our jobs, and they 
are determined to file all these reports automatically.


So do what I do -- file them automatically, in a folder that you 
never go look in.

Why even receive them at that point? They're little more than spam

Because you can always claim you treat their reports seriously. ;)
Actually, when lists are personalized you can always use Message-ID to
look up your nice AOL citizen. That't what I do as I use full 
personalization option.

[Mailman-Users] changing Mailman layout

2008-08-13 Thread Zbigniew Szalbot

Dear all,

Where do I look to change Mailman layout (I know where to change 
individual lists) but not sure where are files for 
domian.tld/mailman/listinfo located.


I'd like to customize Mailman to look more like our organization's website.

Many thanks in advance!

[Mailman-Users] email address obfuscation

2008-08-13 Thread Masquith, Michael CTR
Hello,
Is there in place any method to obfuscate/hide email addresses so spammer 
spiders/robots can't harvest them?

If not, could I edit a page to use an external JavaScript function to do so? 
Even more basically, can JavaScript be used at all when editing pages?

Thanks.

The listinfo overview page is built on the fly by
Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py. The admin(db) pages are built the same way by
Mailman/Cgi/admin(db).py.

The best way to add css or similar things to these pages is to modify
the Format() method of the Document() class in Mailman/htmlformat.py.

If you really want to add, subtract or rearrange things on these pages,
you have to modify the Mailman/Cgi/* modules that generate them.

Hi everyone,

I want to start off by saying I think it's great that this community exists,
with people willing to help people.  I have a question that is dealt with on
the FAQ, but before you roll your eyes I'm still posting here because the I
didn't find the FAQ entry helpful.  Maybe you're still rolling your eyes,
but hear me out.

FAQ Entry 1.7. I've set up Mailman, created a list, and added myself to the
list, but I don't get any messages!

That's my problem.  Maybe it's because I'm using mailman through a third
party (Lunarpages webhosting), but I don't see anything about cronjobs or
aliases, etc.  But I send emails to the mailing list, the emails show up in
the mailing list archives, and yet nobody on the list receives messages.  If
anybody has an idea of what I can try next I would greatly appreciate it!
Otherwise I'll probably end up using yahoo or something.

 End original message. -

You are using a gmail address to post here.

Did you subscribe this gmail address to the list?

If so, that is the problem as gmail will not send list posts back to 
you that are already present in your outgoing mailbox.


This is a known problem and Google appears to not give a damn about fixing it.

If you're talking about things like the list roster, this is controlled

The message won't be too helpful in this situation. It just says

I don't yet understand why Mailman would discard the message, but I am

Re: [Mailman-Users] Question about mailing lists

2008-08-13 Thread Danny Shain
Dragon, Mark,

Thanks for the quick replies.  Dragon, I'd been having a brief conversation
with Mark away from the listserv and we actually got to just about the same
point.  I have a webmail account provided by my hosting which is technically
the recipient of all mailman emails, which I then have forwarding to a gmail
account.  I didn't understand why it was forwarding welcome/approval/error
messages but not my actual posts, which I eventually verified were in fact
being sent to my webmail account.  POP3 refused to fetch them too.  Your
responses seem to answer this perfectly though, and I now understand that
gmail is intentionally hiding them from me.  (Even though the gmail account
is not registered with mailman, I'm sending my posts out from gmail under
the identity of my webmail account, and I guess google is smart enough to
know that when it sees the forwarded message coming back.)  Aside from the
data collecting I've generally been a fan of every gmail feature, but I
guess I was bound to find one that seems stupid eventually.  I can't believe
there's not even an option somewhere to disable this feature if you so
choose.

I turned on receive acknowledgment of own posts and I get those, and I do
see a copy in my sent mail.  So I guess everything was working perfectly all
along and I just didn't know it.  Plus it was in the FAQ.  Hope saying
thanks again makes up for that :).

Thanks for helping me out and saving me a lot of wasted time and effort, I
really appreciate it,

~Danny

envelope from the sender of the original message (I tested both cases: member or
not-member of the list); in all tests the message disappears.

  There is a Discarded message entry in Mailman's vette log, but since
  you don't have access, you can't see it.
 
 Thanks, I'll ask the sysadmin to have a look at that.
 
 
 The message won't be too helpful in this situation. It just says
 'Message discarded, msgid: ...', but if it is present, it will verify
 that the message reached Mailman and Mailman discarded it for some
 reason.

I got feedback from the sysadm: indeed the message is discarded by mailman:

  Aug 12 13:43:44 2008 (6025) Message discarded, msgid: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I don't yet understand why Mailman would discard the message, but I am
 able to duplicate the problem, so I will investigate further tomorrow.

Thank you very much! Let me know if I can help you somehow (reminder: I'm using
mailman version 2.1.9)

[Mailman-Users] Newsrunner infinite loop

2008-08-13 Thread Max Lanfranconi

Hi,

I have a mailman 2.1.11 installation running about 1000 mailing lists.
Each of them is bi-directionally gatewayed via NNTP.

I have been hitting the following scenario:

Email 'a' is made of a text body and email 'b' as a text attachment.

Email 'b' is made of a text body and another non-text attachment.

Posting email 'a' to any mailing list gets email a distributed to all 
the mailing list members but puts  NewsRunner in the following infinite 
loop (1 traceback per second. Needless to say, the posting never makes 
it to the newsgroup)


Aug 13 14:36:30 2008 (25129) Uncaught runner exception:
Aug 13 14:36:30 2008 (25129) Traceback (most recent call last):
 File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/NewsRunner.py, line 86, in 
_dispose

   conn.quit()
 File /usr/lib/python2.4/nntplib.py, line 600, in quit
   resp = self.shortcmd('QUIT')
 File /usr/lib/python2.4/nntplib.py, line 260, in shortcmd
   return self.getresp()
 File /usr/lib/python2.4/nntplib.py, line 215, in getresp
   resp = self.getline()
 File /usr/lib/python2.4/nntplib.py, line 207, in getline
   if not line: raise EOFError
EOFError


Any hint about what may cause this ?

Thanks!

Max

  Actually, when lists are personalized you can always use Message-ID to

  I'm confused. How do you use the Message-ID for this? Even when
  messages are fully personalized, every recipient's message has the
  Message-ID of the original, incoming message.

Well, we could provide a Resent-Message-ID.  If it's not present in
the AOL bounce and they won't provide it, we just say We log every
outgoing message so we can fix these problems.  Provide the
corresponding Resent-Message-ID or it's not our problem, you're simply
arbitrarily throwing away your customers' mail.

But what it really comes down to is that they are arbitrarily throwing
away their customers' mail, and their customers apparently like it
that way.

I would be MORE prone to believe that their customers have absolutely 
NO CLUE, Stephan and being aolers don't 'care' enough to complain
(even IF they know how to) -:)-:)!!

 Why even receive them at that point? They're little more than spam

 known spammer. :-(


If you set yourself up to receive them, it's a lot harder for AOL to 
automatically mark you as a spammer.  Unless you actually are a 
spammer, you're not going to get enough Scomp reports to show up on 
their radar, and you can pretty much safely ignore them.


At least, that's what we've been told by the AOL representative we 
have been working with.

All their customers know is that they are doing everything they can 
to make the spam pain go away.  So, they hit Report as spam for 
every single message, and boy does that make them feel good.


Of course if they thought you were ever throwing away any of their 
e-mail (spam or not), they'd be really hopping mad.  So, you make 
sure they never find out.

Actually, in my experience, AOL doesn't give a rats a-- that you are setup for 
the feedback loop (at least the old program) ... if they thought you might be a 
spammer they will still rate limit your delivery even if they send feedback to 
you.

Yeah, but rate-limiting is nothing like having all your e-mail 
silently dropped on the floor.  At least you're getting something 
through, and you usually know something about that fact.

 So, either way, we're screwed.  AOL is determined to delete any and all

 And I'm *SURE* they will _never_ consider moving the Report to TOS button

Care to share a picture of how it looks? No retard aoluser was able to
