Re: [Mailman-Users] Disabling quoting of original messages sent to request
Thanks, Terri Oda and Mark Sapiro for the responses. The pointer to CommandRunner.py allowed me to quash the copied input for now. (I had to do something, as the issue was getting our server into CBL and so largely hobbling all our lists.) But I agree with Terri that the result is not ideal -- and probably confusing -- for legitimate users of the request address. We are lucky (I guess) in that we have an otherwise tightly controlled, custom front end for subscriber management and that the only time *most* legitimate users interact with the 'request' address is when Replying to a subscription confirmation. (And that may be the step where a cc: of the original message is least informative.)

[Mailman-Users] problems with mail robot -request
Dear Mailman-Users and Team, i am using mailman for a long time now and like for once to say thanks for the good work! A while ago we migrated the server and the lists. It comes that i recognized a problem. A mail to the mail robot mylist-requ...@mylist.domain goes straight to the moderation-queue and the user got a bounce that the mail is held for approval. Even when the moderator approves the mail - it is published to the list and not to the mail-robot. My first idea was that the migrated lists are buggy - but the same behaviour occurs after creating a new list. We are using virtualhosts and postfix as a mta. Any Ideas howto debug or which steps to take to get this problem solved are highly appreciated?

[Mailman-Users] Migration to new server, new domain name
Hello, Can anybody point me to a document or explain to me what is necessary to complete these steps? We have a mailman server hosted on a FreeBSD box and need to migrate it an Ubuntu box and change domain names on all the lists. We have several dozen lists, all under the foo.org domain. We need to change foo.org to bar.org The current mail.foo.org server on FreeBSD is getting long in the tooth, and we need to move anyway to Ubuntu. So I need to set up a new Ubuntu server w/ Postfix, Mailman and Apache and call this server mail.bar.org and this will be the MX server for bar.org. For each *...@foo.org list, I need to move it to the new server, and it's archives to mail.bar.org and that list will be called *...@bar.org But I also want to be able to protect users with forwarding.if they still send mail to their old respective *...@foo.org list, how do I configure to foward and process to the new *...@bar.org list?

Assuming the admindb web interface is working, you could go there and
approve the posts.
And if you want a script to work with that, here's one I wrote for
greasemonkey (a firefox add-on that lets you script parts of your
interface). You'll have to alter the @include line so it contains your
own site address. This would probably work better as a bookmarklet, if
someone wants to convert it.
You'll still have to click submit yourself (which gives you a chance
to review if you want) but it will move all the defaults to be accept

of them with confirm in subject and approved:password message, but
there are PLENTY of old ones held for more than 3 days in queue.
I suppose it has to be done via /bin/withlist and a script, or is
there another solution?
Here's a bookmarklet version of the script I posted earlier. Just
bookmark this stupidly long string and then when you're viewing your
admin page, click the bookmark to move every box over to Accept --
should simplify the task some.
javascript:function%20approveAll(){var%20inputs=document.getElementsByTagName(input);for(var%20i=0;iinputs.length;i++){if(inputs[i].type=='radio'inputs[i].name.indexOf(senderaction-)==0inputs[i].value==1){inputs[i].checked=true;}}};approveAll()
I expect the stupidly long string is going to get line-wrapped, so
you'll probably need to stick it back together. I've only tested it in
Firefox 3, but it's pretty basic JavaScript so it will likely work in
other browsers.

I'm not aware of any ability in Mailman that will allow you make a request for a previously posted message. In fact, I believe that Mailman simply (in effect) splits / explodes any given message and re-sends it on to multiple recipients, with one of the recipients being an archive. To the best of my knowledge the archive simply appends the message to an mbox file (or similar) for later view via the web interface. I do not believe there is any concept of retrieving a given message out of the archive.

Re: [Mailman-Users] gmail marks mailman confirmation mail as spam...

As far as I know, I have no special spam whitelisting in effect on this gmail account.

[Mailman-Users] Administrivia
I have Administrivia turned on for a list, but people keep sending subscribe requests to the list address (because they are morons, I guess, I send them the subscribe address). Anyway, the administrivia setting does not pick up these messages and I end up with them in the admin queue and end up manually adding them to the subscribers list and purging the message. Can I get administrivia to process subscribe request? message will come in with the single word subject of subscribe sometimes with a single word body of subscribe or sometimes no body. The help says Administrivia tests will check postings to see whether it's really meant as an administrative request (like subscribe, unsubscribe, etc), and will add it to the the administrative requests queue, notifying the administrator of the new request, in the process. but at least on my system, this doesn't seem to happen. -- Q: Does anyone know how many LOCs were in the Space Shuttle' codebase?

Note that for the above scenario, you can rearrange the pipeline to put
MimeDel before Hold so that both administrivia and too big checks
are done after content filtering. To do this, put
#
# Put MimeDel ahead of Hold so too big is based on content filtered
# message.
#
GLOBAL_PIPELINE.remove('MimeDel')
GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(GLOBAL_PIPELINE.index('Hold'), 'MimeDel')
in mm_cfg.py.
