Re: [Mailman-Users] Preventing Cross Posting
Thanks Mark for the good suggestions. I didn't think there was an easy solution besides the clue-by-four. I guess I be reading and contemplating a custom handler. -- Bryan Carbonnell - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting What a great ride! -- 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] Preventing Cross Posting
Is there anyway to prevent posts from being cross posted across several lists on the same Mailman installation? I'm running into 2 situations that i'd like to prevent 1) Cross-posting with several list names in the to or cc headers 2) Individual identical messages sent separately to different lists Is this possible without resorting to a clue-by-four for the offending users? Nothing popped up in a FAQ and archive search.

There's no configuration setting to accomplish this. You could possibly accomplish 1) by putting some regexp(s) in header_filter_rules for To: and Cc: headers to recognize 'foreign' list names, but this would be a maintenance headache unless list names were very stable. I think 1) might best be accomplished by creating a custom handler (see http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq04.067.htp) to collect all the addresses from To: and Cc: in the local domain and see if more than one local part matches a list name. 2) is much more difficult as the first message would probably always be accepted. Also, the Message-ID: might be different across the messages making that not a reliable indication of a duplicate. You might make your custom handler create a hash of the message body and save recent ones in some kind of data store along with info about the list, sender, etc. and then check each new post to see if it matches one already accepted. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
