[Mailman-Users] Inactive members
Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to automatically unsubscribe or disable the membership for those who have not posted to a list for a given period of time.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Efficient handling of cross-posting
On Jan 28, 2008, at 15:40, Barry Warsaw wrote: What this means is that in Mailman 3.0, there is knowledge of subscriptions across mailing lists, so that we could do better cross- posting, though this isn't implemented yet. For example, you could say that the 'musicians' mailing list roster is composed of the rosters for the 'guitar-players' mailing list and the 'bass-players' mailing list, plus a bunch of directly subscribed multi- instrumentalists. Mailman figures all that out when it decides who the recipients of the message are. This is quite interesting. I don't believe in duplication and as such not in cross-posting or even better cross-posting, and so the above is interesting to me because I admittedly was thinking along these lines, as I started reading this thread. So I enjoy the roster concept which is outlined. Still, it seems odd to me that the list server software can adequately decide on the process of eliminating duplicates. To me, the roster concept implies that duplicates should not have been sent by list members in the first place. In other words, a proper roster structure discourages any need for cross-posting. It's all about expectation, I think. The expectation for instance that if a guitar-players list exists, a guitar-players discussion should not take place, just or too, on the general musicians list. But when the expectation is not in place, an approach such as a list server's elimination of duplicates appears to an awkward uphill battle. In short, I wonder if the suggested feature will do more harm than good.

[Mailman-Users] Time change
I was wondering if there are any issues in 2.1.9 or 2.1.8 with having the same hour twice, concerning archives and other sequence related matters such as moderating a message stamped later than the approval of it. Not that I plan on getting up at that time to check on things for a bit anyway, because if I do, I'll likely forget to turn off the alarm clock and then be woken up once again an hour later ;-) Mikael -- 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] User aliases
I am sorry to ask such a basic question, but would it be possible for a list member (or the moderator or the list admin or the site admin) to create a user alias, defined as allowing a user's second email address to post to a list based on the membership of that user's primary email address?

I am hesitant to ask this as I should wait until one day when I can investigate it myself in more depth, but when the moderator approves or rejects, how can the moderator (using the web interface to send) receive a copy of the email going to the member? A forward of the moderated message does not include the moderator's decision. And is there an archive of such decisions (and invitations etc) available to the moderator?

[Mailman-Users] Moderation
I was reminded of the following from the Mailing list Configuration Help, moderator Option page: The list moderators ... are allowed to tend to pending administration requests, including approving or rejecting held subscription requests, and disposing of held postings. Is this moderation though or list administration? Stuff like max message body and dealing with non-subscriber addresses does not spell moderation to me (although it is nice to approve such in some cases). Conventional moderation may well be turning on moderation for a given subscriber, but I am not interested in this to the extent that I don't know whether it is possible in Mailman. The moderation that appeals to me is for instance putting a given subscriber on leave for a given number of days to cool off (without manually having to keep track of when it expires). Useful would also be assigning a given number of messages that subscribers can post in 24 hour period (all or given subscribers). If the max is reached, the moderator is sent a request to approve or deny. Would this one day be possible?

Re: [Mailman-Users] body of email being stripped out into attachment byhotmail and other receiving servers

I have recently corresponded extensively with a user, who is a member on one of my lists and who is also a member on a list on a mailman server run by someone I know. As the user swears by her Hotmail account for all her list mail and as Live Hotmail cannot be configured not to be a multipart/alternative (maybe), she cannot be convinced to post only text/plain messages. Oddly enough, that is not the problem. The problem is that to recipients the lines in the quoted lines in the text/plain version of her multipart/alternative run together lacking line feeds and that the mailman admin uses content filtering to remove any non text/plain parts. She is in other words stuck between a rock and a hard place. This appears not to be a mailman issue per se. It happens when I send her an email directly and she responds to that email directly. I have suggested to her to move away from Hotmail rather than asking the mailman to allow HTML on his list. But she is hesitant of course, she would like to go back to how things used to be. It started happening only four months ago, maybe in moving from Classic Hotmail to Live Hotmail, I don't know. In short, mailman works as advertised - somewhat frustrating, I must admit.
