Actually, I don't think it has anything to do with VERP. Won't normal delivery do the same thing? (I'm assuming you're not doing threaded delivery.) Looking at SMTPDirect.py it just creates the connection, spits all the chunks down the connection and then quits the connection. Are you really only seeing this for VERP deliveries?

It probably ought to be something like SMTP_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_CONNECTION. -Barry

We have a winner. > >Awesome. Thanks, I'm going to commit this change. Cool.. How much more you going to do before the formal beta release? Enough seems to be working (and I have enough of a handle on things I might have to handwave) that I'm tempted to start putting it up on my production box... But if there's going to be a last minute flurry of features and fixes before then, I probably won't bother. Oh, BTW, simple typo in the admin pages. In the VARHELP=topics/topics_enabled, the sentence: "The body of the message can also be optionally scanned for Subject: and Keyword: headers" Keyword: should be "Keywords:", which bit me for a while, because, of course, *that* was the occurrence of the word (which is right two other places in the paragraph) that I focused on. Although, I'm thinking, either Keyword: or Keywords: out to to work. Especically since it'll usually be one keyword...

wildcards in poster-without-approval

Hello, Is it possible to set wildcards in the field 'Addresses of members accepted for postings to this list without implicit approval requirement' in Privacy Options? That every addr from domain xyz.com is allowed to post without approval requirement. If yes, how? *(a)xyz.com or xyz.com or .*(a)xyz.com Thanks Jonas -- We'll try to make different mistakes this time -- Larry Wall

Error: Invalid value '' for variable: accept_these_nonmembers
by Marc MERLIN 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

This is in mailman CVS I've changed GUI/GUIBase.py with the hopes to output a better error: try: val = self._getValidValue(mlist, property, wtype, val) except ValueError: doc.addError(_("Invalid value '"+val+"' for variable: %(property)s"), tag=_('Error: ')) I get the error (without my patch too obviously) only one install. I can't seem to reproduce it on the list install I have on my laptop. Any ideas what's going on?
