[Mailman-Users] Listreminder without PWs
Hi, As we have chosen to use SSL with the Mailman-Interface it would be nice to get more protection for the passwords. 1.) How can we send the list reminders without the PWs? 2.) How can we limit User- and Listadministration from WEB only (no e-mail)? 3.) What about the e-mail itself? Any ideas, how to encrypt the e-mails, so that non-list-members will not be able to read them? 4.) Certainly there are more steps to be taken to make MailMan more secure. We have already chosen QMail, Apache and RSBAC to protect the system but are there any plans/implementations to improve MailMan in such direction? Reg.

James I'd say: As Mailman works in batch-mode and uses the underlaying Mail-Program (qmail?) to send out the mails the question would rather be HOW to HANDLE that amount of users!! What Q-Mail does if it gets a batch (or several batches) of 61.000 Mails at a time just depends on your infrastructure. For handling that amout of users you could perhaps use MailMans Umbrella-List-Feature and split the Users on different sublist. Perhaps handling these sublist on different systems could also help to adress the above problem.

How can we send the list reminders without the PWs? Remove the job out of mailman's cron that sends out the reminder. Add your own message and have cron send that instead, if you want a monthly reminder. 2.) How can we limit User- and Listadministration from WEB only (no e-mail)? Set the list so that it does not look for Administriva, then reroute the list-request alias to /dev/null or to an autoresponder that sends back a note telling folks to use the web. 3.) What about the e-mail itself? Any ideas, how to encrypt the e-mails, so that non-list-members will not be able to read them? This is interesting... There are actually MTA's that will do this for you - that will encrypt the mail leaving the server, and decrypt the mail coming to the server. You could also run the mail bodies through a pre-processor that encrypted the bodies using something like gpg. Procmail will allow you to do this. For it to work properly, you will need to have a savvy user group. They will have to be smart enough to decrypt the message on their end. 4.) Certainly there are more steps to be taken to make MailMan more secure. We have already chosen QMail, Apache and RSBAC to protect the system but are there any plans/implementations to improve MailMan in such direction? I can't speak for the direction of Mailman. It's open source though, so feel free to pull it in the direction you would like to see it go. All contributions are accepted.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman bug
Hi all, When I try to access my list info page, or any other list page or admin page, I get the following error: Bug in Mailman version 2.0 We're sorry, we hit a bug! Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. This just started. I buy my hosting from a company, and they have great support, but I haven't heard back yet on this one so I thought it might help if I could give them some pointers on what to do.

[Mailman-Users] feature request
Hi there. We use MailMan (I concede the correct spelling to you !!!), and I'm quite happy with all the options. Very comprehensive package. I'd like to suggest the addition of an attachment filter that allows only a list of administrator's explicitly defined file types to pass, i.e., thus avoiding the sending of e-mail virii to the list.

[Mailman-Users] MySQL back end to Mailman?
Boy is it hard doing a search for this stuff because of the infrastructural uses of both components causing their names to be archived in many totally unrelated places... A little birdy said that Mailman was going to support a MySQL back end in 2.1. Is this true? If so I can't find anything about that on the Mailman web site. Where can I learn more about this? And how close is it to being ready for general consumption? Reason I ask is I am currently building a PHP system for managing clubs and would like to use Mailman as the mailing list manager instead of having to waste lots of time reinventing the wheel and coming up short. The membership database will be kept in MySQL which I would like Mailman to use. Thanks, Chris -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

Re: [Mailman-Users] MySQL back end to Mailman?
Hay Chris! AFAIK, Mailman 2.1 is not going to be fixed to use any particular external database, but will have the hooks to use any external database. Someone, perhaps you, will have to write the interface from Mailman to the database format. Someone may have already written such an interface for MySQL. If they haven't yet, I'm sure it will come soon. You should ask on the Dev list though, as this list is only for current production releases. Good luck, and if you need any help in re-inventing this wheel, let me know, I've written a few...
