Well the OP said the messages were deferred, the link the log gives
(which everyone is aware of) seems to describe greylisting. In my
experience the greylisting is sort of weak in that its not *.yahoo.com
but just server by server for quite a while. Likely this is by design.

I dont see a problem if the messages are deferred, but if he says they
are all disappearing (though I would assume this means his upstream is
just killing them off out of the queue) then there is a problem. But
then he would get bounces from yahoo killing them, not nice legal
defer messages.

  Couldnt this just be an issue of people on the list marking the
email as SPAM or the mail finding its way into the Bulk mail folder
for the yahoo, sbc/ameritech, etc domains?

There are plenty of people that have this issue with forgot password
reminders, account activations and what not with yahoo (according to
google search). This seems reasonable rather than them actual accusing
you of spamming.

I believe he wants to reject (or similar action) upon a violation of a
policy for a period of time. So setting the moderation bit per use for
the next 7 days, or some sort of tarpitting.

Re: [Mailman-Users] howto cancell a message

 I have a client with a ~50,000 subscriber newsletter that goes out once
 a week, and they always send it out to an internal test list first so
 they can check for spelling errors or anything else that might be
 embarrassing before the message goes out.  Even so, I did have to abort


This workflow is just priceless for such transmissions. I setting up a
CGI to 'vote allow/decline' messages, as sadly it takes just one
person to allow a message through and with work environments as they
tend to be the velocity of emails and the added mailing list websites
and google crawling can make these problems massive.

Re: [Mailman-Users] refresh my cross post list with updated members in sub lists after every 10 minutes

 I have checked, no one has info and no cron exists on my machine. I have
 checked at OS level also

 Please advice, is there any way that I can make these cross posts updated
 automatically.


I have seen some barebone solaris machines without crond that syslog
remotely, but those were basically desktops. Some admins remote all
syslog and all webserver logs. Hard sell to not have any logging for
your mail server though, ouch. I would guess that you have it
installed and its just not in your path or what not.

Depends on your mta, then you could setup something like this (a quick
script for a list user)

  write cron script that does something similar to this (typed free

your creating the actual list membership nearly on the fly

LIST=/tmp/list3.lst
