Indeed.  Ordering will be an option, and since this request is hardly
a FAQ (though I think it a pretty obviously worthwhile feature), I
suppose that the default will be the traditional alphabetical ordering.

I will say that for a list I run, I find the alphabetical ordering
useful. I keep the last couple of months of notices normally sorted
alphabetically by subject (which makes it ). Scanning through that list
lets me see if someone has posted a number of similar messages and is
starting to "spam" the list with them, and the order of this scan
matches the order in the admin interface.

Yes, that should do it.

It took a little while to figure out, but I believe I've gotten everything 
straightened out. It looks like my complication was the fact that cleararch had 
been run on my current version of older.mbox, but no when it was originally 
added to the archives. I found the original file and everything lines up. 
Thanks for getting me this far.

Older.mbox contains 1512 messages, five of which contain unescaped lines 
starting with "From ". What's the best way to escape those lines and preserve 
archive order? Is it as simple as escaping the line and adding an empty "From " 
immediately after the containing message?

[Mailman-Users] Emails with implicit address are trapped

2013-06-17 Thread Javad Hoseini-Nopendar
Hello
I sometimes need to send an email to various mailing lists at a time. The 
owner of one of the  mailing lists asked me to put all the addresses in BCC, 
but when I put the address of my own mailing list in BCC, my email to the 
group does not go directly to the group, but it requires moderator's 
approval. I want the emails with implicit address to go directly to this 
mailing list. How can I do that?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Ordering of messages in the moderation queue by date?

2013-06-17 Thread Larry Kuenning

My 2 cents for Mark Sapiro's question:


OK. Since this may be more widely used, here's a question? The current
summary groups all the messages from a single sender into one 'box'. If
we sort the boxes[1] by time, should multiple messages from a single
address be in separate, time sorted boxes or should they still be
grouped in a single box, and if the latter should the boxes be time
sorted by oldest or newest in the box.


The original post spoke of a list "where all messages are moderated, and 
conversations are long."  A moderator who is trying to track the 
progress of a long conversation (while perhaps moderating for civility) 
would probably want to see all messages in strict time order, oldest 
first, without grouping by author.  I would want it that way on my lists 
if they had enough traffic to make manual sorting tedious.


This could be especially important in cases where writers are sending 
off-list copies to each other, and thus sometimes replying to posts that 
haven't even reached the list in moderated form yet.  You don't want to 
make a moderation decision about a reply before deciding what to do 
about the post being replied to.


(And of course "time order" must handle time zones accurately, e.g. a 
message sent from London at 1:00 am Wednesday should precede one sent 
from New York at 10:00 pm Tuesday.  I mention this because I _think_ I 
remember running into a problem with this when archiving old messages 
from a pre-Mailman incarnation of a list.)

Dear Mark,

Just my 2ct: keep it simple, no need to have many config options here: 
Just keep the "one box per sender"-idea, but sort the boxes by the time of the 
latest email from that sender.

And thus replace the old sorting order: 
"alphabetical" doesn't have any practical advantage (= someone missing the way 
it worked yet) in my eyes.

Use case "time-sorted" e.g.: find this one mail the user just sent a minute ago 
in a queue full of SPAM.

[1] A proper feature would redesign the boxes, but I'm not going there,
and I'm not going to think about checking in the multiple box case for
conflicting checkbox options applied to the same sender.

Is that just on IPv4? In some cases, using IPv6 may work…

The short answer may be "their MXes, their rules"; finding someone
with a cluebat will often be the hardest part.

That does assume they've not outsourced the blacklisting side of
things, of course, when there's a further problem. It's probably worth
having a look at the reputation of the address block you're using;
https://grepular.com/projects/dnsblsearch.txt may be of interest/use.

In a previous role, skipping email and using the telephone worked for
getting through to the right person/department.

Social media may work in your favo(u)r here… ask how you might get in
contact with postmaster@ via twitter/other channels. And perhaps use
your community's help, too.

(NANOG or MailOp may be better channels)

2013-06-17 Thread Jason Fayre

Hi,
This may not be strictly on-topic for this list, but I'm getting 
extremely frustrated and am  hoping someone can give me some ideas.
We moved our mailman server to a VPS with a new IP address.  After the 
move, our IP has been blacklisted by AT&T.  We had some DNS trouble 
initially, and this may be why.
I've submitted the form that at&t tells you to in order to get your IP 
removed from the blacklist.  I then get a response back saying that the 
IP is not blacklisted.  However, I've got recent bounce messages saying 
we are.  If I try and telnet to at&t's mail servers from the mailman 
server, I get rejected because of a blacklisted Ip.  The IP they are 
saying is blacklisted is the same one I submitted on there web form.
Does anyone have any strategies in dealing with at&t?  I would love... 
god forbid... to actually talk to someone in their postmaster team about 
this.
We host around 200 mailing lists for the National Federation of the 
Blind.  Some of the lists are fairly high traffic.  We are not sending 
out spam.

Any help or suggestions would be apreciated.
