[Mailman-Users] some newbie questions
Hi ALL! I´d like to ask you experts a little help on mailman! First of all i must say that i have no linux knowledge and never worked with mailman before (already checked its adm panels, but nothing more). We currently have 3 mailing lists hosted at Yahoo Groups, and we need to move them out of there, because the service is getting worse day by day. So we are looking for the mailing list server soft that better suit our needs. I tried to find this information on faqs and documentation, but i´d like to double check with you Mailman heavy users, because sometimes there´s a alternative way of doing some configurations that officialy are not possible. So, i would like to know if with Mailman i can do the following things in my lists: 1- can we set ONE indivual member into moderated mode, so we can approve/deny all his messages before they get to the list, instead of putting the WHOLE list in moderated mode? 2- can we set scheduled messages to be sent, like every week, every two weeks, every month, etc? like a list rules message sent to every member when they subscribe and a why did u leave? message sent to every unsubscriber? 3- hability to define a filter, where if certain words appear on the subject or message body make that messages immediatly hold down for approval or bounced to the moderators? Please, bear in mind that we WONT have sheel acount on the linux box that might run the mailing list server, so we wont be able to do anything that might requires a direct login and any sort of configuration on the linux box. All we will have is access to the web panel of mailman. I would like to apologize in advance if this questions are trully basic and if they are already avaliable in other places, but as i said, i wanted to double check with experienced users and get their opinions. Thank you very much for any kind of help! all the best! marcelo -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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/

Yes, but Mailman v2.0 is really not built for this 2- can we set scheduled messages to be sent, like every week, every two weeks, every month, etc? like a list rules message sent to every member when they subscribe and a why did u leave? message sent to every unsubscriber? You would do this outside of Mailman, most likely as a cronjob. 3- hability to define a filter, where if certain words appear on the subject or message body make that messages immediatly hold down for approval or bounced to the moderators? Yes.

All we will have is access to the web panel of mailman. For the cronjob mentioned above you'd merely require access to some system somewhere, it could even be your desktop, that can run a specific job/program at a specified time interval. That program then sends the desired email to the list -- J C Lawrence -(*)Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
