I think Harold is asking why the spam was directed to
pptc-announce-owner. From the headers (I may or may not be
interpreting correctly), it looks like the message was directly
addressed to pptc-announce-owner.

yes, exactly ... sorry about not being more specific ... i am wondering if 
anyone else has this experience oft he list =-owner being spammed in this 
manner and if there is anyway to guard against it.

[Mailman-Users] problems in posting to a list

2006-06-14 Thread Harold Goldstein
i am an administrator (but i didn't install it nor do i have access to the 
server) of an announcement only mailing list.

despite having 3 addresses listed as administrator and moderator, we have 
only been able to use one address to post. that was ok till last week when 
we were subject to a spoofing attack appearing to come from that address.

i removed that address, having forgotten about the problem in posting from 
the others. now i cannot post to the list at all even though i returned the 
removed address.

for each i get back a this is an announcement list - send your email to 
 for posting and now even  cannot post.

so the problem is that even though listed as admin/mod i cannot post.
(i can get around this by holding posts and then approving them but i'd 
rather post directly)

thanks

thanks for your response

Any addresses you'd like to accept mail from, add to 
'accept_these_nonmembers' under 'Sender filters' under 'Privacy
Options' in the web interface.

hmmm ... ok ... but why would i be considered a 'non-member' ... i never 
would have guessed to use this.

ALTERNATIVELY, include as the first line of your message: 'Approved: list 
admin password' (this is better, since it's totally proof against spoofing.

an excellent approach ... i take it that the  characters ARE included in 
the above??

thanks again
