Re: [Mailman-Users] best way to reconfirm a list

2014-05-06 Thread Richard Shetron
That is correct.  The lists are current news announcements so only the
list owner posts to the list.  The sample headers I got look legit as
far as I can tell.  They redacted all the email/destination information
that would id the receiving system/email.

The original lists are old enough to not have been confirmed.  The goal
would be to send a confirmation email to everyone on the list and
unsubscribe anyone who does not re-confirm within a reasonable time, say
1 week.

 I took that to mean that these lists are no longer accepting new members, and 
 that prospective members are being advised to join some particular yahoo 
 groups instead. I.e. they're gradually migrating to yahoo groups.

You would have to do that manually.

[Mailman-Users] best way to reconfirm a list

2014-05-05 Thread Richard Shetron
I looked through the list admin manual and didn't see anything about
reconfirming a list.  Is there an easy way to have mailman reconfirm a list?

I have a list that has been in use for 5+years and all of a sudden maps
is saying I'm hitting a spam trap.  The list has not been added to in at
least 3+years.  Actually I have 2 lists that maps claims is hitting spam
traps, but neither list has been added to in at least 3+ years.  New
subscribers are asked to subscribe to a yahoo group instead.

What does reconfirm a list mean to you?

Do you perhaps mean get a list of the list's members? If so, see the FAQ
at http://wiki.list.org/x/aYA9.

There are other ways your list can hit a spam trap, e.g. a non-member
post spoofs the spam trap address and thee list sends an autoresponse.

​I defer to your much greater wisdom in the area. I naively thought that a
formerly well functioning list having a number of yahoo members might have
resulted in enough rejection/bounces that some anti-spam bot might
declare the list itself forbidden ;​

I don't discount this possibility, but the rejections just go back to
the Mailman server and the list, and reports of the rejections go to the
people publishing the DMARC p=reject policy for their domain. I don't
see how any of this winds up being delivered to some third party's spam
trap address.

I.e., the people (or bots) at Yahoo receiving reports of your DMARC
failures might decide to take some action against your server, but that
would be Yahoo blacklisting you for excessive DMARC failures
impersonating their domain. It wouldn't be maps saying you're sending
mail to their spam traps.
