Category: mail delivery Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: mfr301 (mfr301) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Repeat Emails from Mailman 2.1.9 Initial Comment: Hello, I currently use your software as a reseller client with ResellerZoom.com. 3 days ago my clients and myself started receiving numerous repeat emails. The emails were being sent by the mailing list section of Mailman 2.1.9. The problem is that every time (Since it started and has been going on for 3 straight days), I receive emails, they are the SAME emails over and over. Their not visible on the mailing list, their not in a que, and their not in pending messages. I have a client who kept deleting mailing lists (like test@.....) and it kept re-appearing. I have been on line with the ResellerZoom tech support CONSTANTLY from my blackberry for 3 days since the problem started and they have not been able to rectify the problem. Is there anything you can suggest?

See <http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users>. You say the mails you receive were sent by Mailman, but they are 'not visible on the mailing list'. What do you mean by 'not visible on the mailing list' and how do you know they are sent by Mailman? Re: deleted lists reappearing, How are the lists being deleted? It might be more productive for ResellerZoom to contact mailman-users(a)python.org directly. Also, if the Mailman is cPanel's, see <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.011.htp>. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1629971&group_…

Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Mark Ennis (mennis309) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Automatically adding recipients to accept_these_nonmembers. Initial Comment: We have a situation where we have a support mailing list to which our customers email their support issues. It is receiving a ridiculous amount of spam and we are going to change it over to a members-only list with a web submission form for our customers. It struck me that it would be very useful if the mailing list could automatically add non-member recipients of mailing list messages to the accept_these_nonmembers list so that we could continue using normal email for discussing support issues with customers after an initial contact is made through the web submission form. We would normally reply to the customer and CC the mailing list. Is there any way to do this in mailman or could this be a useful feature that might be added in the future? We are currently using mailman 2.1.6 on Linux. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1643206&group_…

Initial Comment: My email address changed. I went to a list on python.org (edu-sig) where I am subscribed, and changed my address to reflect the new address. I then clicked the box to change this globally. I immediately started receiving mail messages from the high-volume list, python-list which is also on python.org even though I have disabled the delivery there. I had to disable this by hand. I'm running a stable 2.1 but I suspect this will be a bug everywhere.

This means admins cannot get a single list of all list members from the web interface. The roster should instead list hidden members to people who logged in with the admin password. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1587651&group_…

[ mailman-Feature Requests-1636541 ] non-interactive use of newlist

Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Schoinobates Volans (schoinobates) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: non-interactive use of newlist Initial Comment: (This is Debian bug #36063) The comment at the top of /usr/sbin/newlist says: Create a new, unpopulated mailing list. newlist <list-name> <list-admin's-address> <admin-password> <immediate> You can specify as many of the arguments as you want on the command line. The optional <immediate> argument, if present, means to send out the notice immediately. Otherwise, the script hangs pending input, to give time for the person creating the list to customize it before sending the admin an email notice about the existence of the new list. It is useful that there is a way to use this noninteractively. Unfortunately this is made more difficult because the password has to be passed in as a command line argument where `ps' can see it. Furthermore, since the script (correctly) uses a real password-gathering function when a password isn't supplied, it is not easy to have a script feed it a password on stdin (the script will require a tty, etc.) It would be good if there were a way to pass the password in via stdin or some such, eg by passing a special option, or a special format of `password', or an environment variable giving the fd to use. Perhaps this should be in the python module getpass, or perhaps it should be in mailman. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1636541&group_…
