[Mailman-Users] Digests and Backups
Hey Mailman gurus! I have a questions and am hoping someone can explain it to me. I run backups on the lists on my Mailman server. One of the directories I tar up is: /usr/local/mailman/lists/* The size of the tar file was about 34KB every week. All of a sudden when I ran my last backup it was 7KB. The only change I made was I changed my cron file to send digests out daily, before this was disabled and digests were only being sent out when they reached their size. Could this be the cause of the small tar file since digests are now going out daily?

[Mailman-Users] Defaults.py file - pipeline changes
My list owners were getting hit pretty hard with spam, almost 4,000 just over a weekend. I did the following which has blocked most if not all of the spam going to listowners. What I did was the following: I edited the Defaults.py file to have the -owner messages go through the same pipeline as the normal messages delivered to list members. I know that one downside to this change is if someone wanted to subscribe to a list and sent an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the request it would fail to be delivered. Most people contact our list owners directly through someone they know or with their work email. Since I made this change I have not seen any disturbances or problems, everything is running smoothly. I am posting this email to see if there are ramifications to this change other than the one I mentioned. Here is the change I made to the Defaults.py file: OWNER_PIPELINE = [ 'SpamDetect', 'Approve', 'Replybot', 'Moderate', 'Hold', MimeDel', 'Scrubber', 'Emergency', 'Tagger', 'CalRecipe', 'AviodDuplicates', 'Clense', 'Cookheaders', 'OwnerRecipe', 'ToOutgoing' ] I know I don't need all of the above but I wanted to duplicate how messages were handled when people send directly to the list. -- Jewel -- 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
[Mailman-Users] 403 forbidden on public archives
I am really lost as to why I have some archives which are public working fine but I one some of my lists if I make them public I receive the following: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /pipermail/listname/ on this server. I have read the discussion archives and have not found a solution to this. I am running Mailman 2.1.7.

[Mailman-Users] Spam
I am receiving spam from a listserv on my server and I am not even subscribed to it. The spam is not getting through to the list members which is a good thing. The name of the list is: maineattorneys-l and sometimes the email will be to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I even turned on the Emergency moderation switch and am still getting spam. Any ideas as to what is happening? I tried to look at the mailman archives but didn't find anything similar to this, that or I didn't search well.
