Re: [Mailman-Users] A simple unsubscribe
Quoting Brian Canty (bca...@apsa.org): Hello - I was wondering if anyone has a way to provide subscribers a simple and easy way to unsubscribe from a mailing list. I do not provide passwords, so I was wondering if there is a simple enter your email address box that I can include on a link in my footers? Wouldn't that allow anyone to enter any email address in that box and unsubscribe them? -- 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

I want to do this automatically. I've looked at the FAQ, but I can't find a way to do this. If you have access to the host server or any server, set up a cron to mail the list once a month with whatever message you want. This is how I do it for my lists in cron: 00 12 1 * * /usr/bin/mutt l...@domain.com -s 'Monthly List Instructions' ~/LIST.mailman.txt That all goes on one line, and the LIST.mailman.txt file contains the message you want to send. Mine uses Mutt to send the mail, but there are many other ways/tools to accomplish this. dd -- 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
Re: [Mailman-Users] slightly OT: on not becoming a spam source
Quoting David Newman ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): One or more AOL subscribers is reporting posts to one of our mailing lists as spam. Every time there's a post to this list, both we and our upstream provider get a feedback report from AOL. This report provides the message-ID for the offending email, but not the recipient's address. AOL claims I should be able to find the offended recipient(s) with just the message-ID, but I do not believe they are correct about that. grep'ing for the message-ID in maillog returns *all* of the ~250 recipients for each post. Well, how many of those 250 use AOL email addresses? That'll narrow it down. I would like to find which AOL user(s) are complaining and unsubscribe them. One method would be to write a script that sends an individual email containing a unique ID to each subscriber, and see if AOL sends feedback complaint(s) for those. This is probably one way. Another is to enable VERP for your outgoing messages, this allows you to track the message ID to the individual user. dd -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman postings deferred by Yahoo
Quoting Larry Stone ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I'm not blaming Mailman...I'm just asking if there is something about Mailman that I can change that will overcome this. Changing anything about Yahoo would be like changing heaven and earth. Surely, someone else is experiencing this issue. Turn on VERP or full personalization. That will force mailman to generate a separate message for each recipient and Yahoo will see several messages each addresses to one recipient rather than one message addressed to multiple recipients. VERP does not necessarily solve the issue. I have VERP running on my lists, and yahoo is still deferring me and delivering to the spam box when they DO deliver. dd -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

Re: [Mailman-Users] AOL's Client TOS Notification
Quoting Ralf Hildebrandt ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): * Rick Pasotto [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have recently been getting some of these from one of my mailing lists. Welcome to the wonderful world of AOL retards. There is nothing in it (that I've been able to see) that would tell me who the user is that is rejecting the email. There are several AOL addresses subscribed but only one rejection each time a mailing goes out. Do you use VERP to send out the mails? If you do that you can see who the culprit is. VERP doesn't work any longer for these, as of a couple months ago. They now redact ALL information that can be used to identify the user, including verp'd addresses. Messageid still works, for whatever reason it's the one piece of header info that isn't redacted at this point. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

They now redact ALL information that can be used to identify the user, including verp'd addresses. As of June ( the last one I received) they only removed the list name part, so you get a line like this Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Where user is the actually user name at AOL. It's usually fairly easy to figure out what list it was. This is the last one I got, from June. See if you can figure the username out. :-) They even redacted part of my domain name (postcardfromhell.com), probably because the redacted piece is the same as the list name (postcard).

Re: [Mailman-Users] Emergency mail to everyone?
Quoting Paul Tomblin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): My wife is asking what she needs to do with all my servers if i'm incapacitated or dead. One of the things that would need to be turned over to somebody else are all my mailman lists. And so one thing i'm looking at would be a way to send an announcement to all the lists on my server. I understand that you can send mail to a list with an x-approved with the list password, but can you do the same with the admin password?

Re: [Mailman-Users] AOL Issues
Quoting Heather Madrone ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): This has been happening on and off for some time. There's no good way to tell which address is reporting the list as spam (AOL certainly won't tell you), so it cannot be easily removed. Actually there is. If you use VERP and setup a feedback loop through AOL, the complainer's email address is included in the complaint sent back to you through the loop. dave -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
Re: [Mailman-Users] Marking mass mailing as not spam?
Quoting José Zapata ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hello there. I have several announce-only news lists, the biggest of which has about 3 subscribers. Mailman is working flawlessly, and I love it. The only problem I have it's not mailman related, but perhaps it can be solved by using mailman. There's a group of subscribers who detect our newsletters as spam (AOL and cantv mostly), and thus don't recieve them. Is there any way to solve this? (other than resending the messages by hand, which isn't really an option) http://postmaster.aol.com to start. You need to determine why they are marking them as spam and either fix that, or work with the providers one-on-one to address it and get whitelisted.
