Re: [Mailman-Users] List email pre-approval

Can your mailclient add the Approve line as a header? I suspect the problem is due to sending the message with formatted text (not MIME type text/plain) and *also* using the Approved line as the first line in the body of the message. If you need for non-subscribers to be able to send formatted posts from a client that won't allow adding an Approved header, you can just specify approved posters. The option is found under Privacy Options, Sender Filters, at: ~mailman/admin/listname/privacy/sender Then any message from one of the approved email addresses will be sent on without requiring further approval. ***Warning*** If an email virus which uses email addresses found on a victim's computer manages to grab one of these approved addresses and use it as the From and also coincidentally grabs your mailing list submission address and uses it as the To, your list will accept the virus laden email and distribute the virus to your whole list. This coincidence is not unlikely, since both addresses will be found together in the inbox or address book of your subscribers. One infected subscriber can then infect your whole list. (I have a friend who has a large newsletter list and who has been repeatedly falsely accused of spreading viruses when a virus forged her list address as the From and then sent the virus *directly* to a list subscriber (her subscribers also often know each other directly, thus one subscriber who has the list address in her address book will also have another subscriber's address in her address book too). She is sticking with the Approved header to ensure that it will be more difficult for a virus to manage to forge her approved address and send to her list submission address.) If this list is a distribution list (not a discussion list), you may want to hide the sender address, so that the automatically approved submission addresses are not disclosed to the list recepients.

[Mailman-Users] Cron script every minute
I hope I'm not troubling anyone, and that this isn't answered anywhere. And I apologize if you don't feel this to be a mailman issue. Since mailman has a cron script run every minute, and cron, on Debian anyways, uses pam, and pam uses the pam_unix module, every minute mailman gets a log in the /var/log/auth.log among others. Is there a workaround for this that I should be aware of? It just seems silly to fill the logs with this information every minute.

[Mailman-Users] Re: Example of bad line break in subject header
This is clearly what I meant to say in my last post. Doug Brandon also has this issue and no one was able to address it for him. I have the same issue as Mr. Marks. Would someone please point me to the correct Headers.py patch referred to below, perhaps my mileage will be better than Mr. Marks'. Alternatively a migration back to 2.0.13 would be acceptable if anyone has done this. Thanks, sumeet. - Original Message - From: Mitchell Marks [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 23, 2003 3:48 PM Subject: Example of bad line break in subject header was Re: [Mailman-Users] Upgrade from 2.0.x to 2.1.1-- incorrect padding error. I'm enclosing below the full headers from Sumeet P's recent message, as they reached me. This shows the formatting problem discussed last week, mentioned on the Mailman-Users list by Sarah from NOW and seconded by me, and also turned over a little on the Developers list. The discussion on Developers included requests for an example that would reproduce the problem. I don't know if this one will show the same behavior if re-tried on another installation, but here we can at least see it happening someplace we can observe in common. (In case this gets mangled on the way back through, the Subject header as I've received it and pasted below is: first line [Mailman-Users] then second line a Tab and the rest Upgrade from 2.0.x to 2.1.1-- incorrect padding error. ) I've installed the recommended Headers.py patch (and checked that it is /this/ headers.py that is being used), and I thought briefly that the problem was solved for my installation -- but it isn't. I'll quote a subject string that I've seen problems with, but note that whether it's reproducible seems to depend on what list it's going through. Here's the example: [CUIP Activity] NSPTECH 2097 Alex Wilson Wednesday 2003-01-15 OS install/Printer Install. It breaks after the list tag [CUIP Activity], and so do test messages with longish subjects that go through that list. But if I send a message with that same header through a Test list (or any of several others), it doesn't break funny. I'm trying to figure out the differences between the lists, but haven't managed to make the error happen in the Test list by fiddling with Language Options and Personalization. I'm close to ready to just suppress all wrapping in Subjects if that would cure this oddity. Would that be a disaster waiting to happen? How hard would it be (I don't know much about the Mailman python code)? Thanks, Mitch Marks P.S. The point was made in the Developers discussion that Eudora's handling of the newlines in the summary windows may not accord to the relevant standard. Would someone who can speak to this fairly authoritatively feel like sending a report/suggestion in Qualcomm's direction? This is indeed only bothering Eudora users here. (Including me...)

The answer here is really simple... just stick with the redhat releases as they come up. The version you are running will be fine, is secure and is operationable. When a new release comes out that has significant changes, redhat will make a compatible binary and release it. If you install from sources, there will be problems if you later plan on switching back to rpms. The best workaround is to roll your own rpms. -- 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/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

Do I need to do a source install to upgrade? Not sure if I can do that. At this time it looks like the latest version in sarge (the testing distribution) is 2.0.13. Sid or unstable appears to have a version of 2.1: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/mail/mailman.html However note that packages don't move from unstable to testing until they have gone for a couple of weeks without a major bug report. If you have to upgrade now, you might want to get the source (the canonical source for 2.1.1, not the Debian package source), configure in a way that matches the Debian configuration (like changing the Makefile to MAILMAN_UID=list rather than something else, MAILMAN_HOME=/var/lib/mailman, and so on), and try installing from source on a test system. But from then on you would probably have to maintain the source yourself, or go through some sort of reintegration process to sync back up to whatever changes Debian introduces into its 2.1+ packages. At the moment I am waiting for the Debian package to at least come down to testing. If I had to upgrade now, I would probably follow the directions to have two Mailman installs on the same system, install from source, move the lists over manually, and then stick to source installs from then on, and not use Debian.

[Mailman-Users] auto-discard/purge to an announce list?
Hi, Well, with the glorious (hehe) event of my mailing list server going back up, I've a question. I am back running the sarge/testing Debian package (2.0.13, IIRC) of Mailman, and I'm wondering if there's a way to either auto discard all admindb requests? The rationale is that I run mostly announce lists at the moment, and with just confirm subscribes, I shouldn't need to approve anything at all, including the posts from only explicit address (which has been set). Any ideas, people? This is kinda semi-production, so I can't have much playing about. :( On another related matter: I had to quickly downgrade this week by doing a quick archive backup and dpkg --purge. Next time I try the sid Debian package, anyone have some general tips on the upgrade? (Other than keeping a 2.0.13 config and db backup...) Thanks!

has no compiler so I copy the real mailman structures onto another machine,
(let's call it test.domain) have account, group, perms etc set up,
configure --prefix=/etc/mailman --build=test.domain \
--host=test.domain
make install
copy resulting structure (/etc/mailman) onto new machine
edit /etc/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py and Defaults.py on test.domain to have
the correct hostname and path

[Mailman-Users] Mailman 2.1.1 list subscription mechanism seems to be broken:please help
Hi, I just upgraded my working mailman 2.0.13 install to 2.1.1 by downloading and installing from source. The previous version worked fine. However, 2.1.1 has a major issue with subscription messages. Every time someone subscribes to a list, mailman sends them a mailing list subscription confirmation notice. With mailman 2.1.1, replying to this notice does not seem to work. Instead of confirming the subscription, it sends *another* mailing list subscription confirmation notice, with a different number. Replying to this results in yet another subscription confirmation notice! However, subscription confirmation off the web page works OK. It is only the confirmation by reply to the notice that is broken. Could someone please help? TIA, Krishnan -- 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/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
[Mailman-Users] moderators not getting notified private archives not found
I just installed Mailman 2.1.1 and my users are reporting problems.
First, list moderators are not getting notified to approve posts. Here's the
settings for the lists I'm having problems with:
Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action
is defined. = Hold
Should messages from non-members, which are automatically discarded, be
forwarded to the list moderator? = Yes
Should the list moderators get immediate notice of new requests, as well as
daily notices about collected ones? = Yes
list administrator = [EMAIL PROTECTED] (password set)
list moderator = [EMAIL PROTECTED] (password set)
Are there other settings that effect moderator notification? Mail is coming in
and going out fine, and posters are getting notified their messages are held for
approval. But moderators are not being emailed to approve non-member postings.
Second, I had to tweak Mailman/Cgi/private.py to work around a Private archive
file not found error. The call to guess_type(path, strict=0) seems broken on
my install of Mailman, so here's what I used instead (from my tweaked
private.py):
# Authorization confirmed... output the desired file
try:
#ctype, enc = guess_type(path, strict=0)
#if ctype is None:
ctype = 'text/html'
if mboxfile:
f = open(os.path.join(mlist.archive_dir() + '.mbox',
mlist.internal_name() + '.mbox'))
ctype = 'text/plain'
elif true_filename.endswith('.gz'):
import gzip
f = gzip.open(true_filename, 'r')
ctype='application/x-gzip'
else:
f = open(true_filename, 'r')
ctype='text/html'
except IOError:
msg = _('Private archive file not found')
doc.SetTitle(msg)
doc.AddItem(Header(2, msg))
print doc.Format()
syslog('error', 'Private archive file not found: %s', true_filename)
else:
print 'Content-type: %s\n' % ctype
sys.stdout.write(f.read())
f.close()
Anyone seen this problem? Is my Mailman or Python install broken?
Any advise or help really appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Matt

I need to move a mailing list from one of my virtual domains to another, but I can't find any information on how to proceed anywhere in the FAQ.

Try cleaning out the cookies on the client machine. There have been
problems with old 2.0.13 cookies interfearing with 2.1 cookies.
Just an idea, see if that works.

Re: [Mailman-Users] newsletter
It appears my particular problem might be related to either qmail or verp. Even if I have mailman configured correctly, my message headers include Return-Path which includes the email address of the original sender. Does anyone have any idea of how I can easily parse this out? Does mailman have this capability? Or is there an area of the code I can patch easily?

I've got a newsletter with everyone moderated except for one user, who I'd like to be able to post to the list. But if his email address shows up in the email, someone else could forge it and be able to spam the list, couldn't they? Unless there's a way to hide the sender's email address. Is there a better way to handle this without requiring someone to approve a message through the web interface? Yes this is very simple and just by running a test list you will see how easy it is.

[Mailman-Users] 2.1.1, Archiving, News, and monthly reminders
Two quick questions: I just upgraded to 2.1.1 and now Archiving and Mail/News gatewaying appear on the list config page. I don't want provide archiving and Mail/News gateway is confusing a folks who don't know what News is but figure they should enable it anyway. Is there anyway to disable these to features? Second, is there any way to get the monthly password reminders to come from the list owners? I have maybe two dozen lists, some of them largem run by about a dozen people. Every month the password reminders go out and I get back about twenty message from people who didn't read the instructions and reply back to mailman with some request or another. I then have to manually forward the requests to the right list owner. Assuming it can't be setup that way, and looking at the code, it doesn't seem likely, how do other people handle this?

L How do I set this up and what needs to be on the approved line? You don't need to do anything to set this up. Say you have a list with an admin password of geddy. If a non-member (or otherwise unapproved poster) sends a message to the list with a regular mail header of Approved: geddy then the message, which normally would be held or bounced, goes through to the list without moderation. Putting that line as the first non-whitespace line in the body of the message is equivalent. In both cases, the header and/or body line is removed before the message is forwarded. Approve: passwd is a synonym. Both the list admin password and the moderator password is accepted. Note that there's a related feature; if the header is Urgent: with the appropriate password, then the message is sent to all members immediately, including digest members (who get it twice -- once immediately and once in the digest). -Barry -- 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/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
