two spaces in subject lines

Since I upgraded to have iso_xxx compliant subjects, I notice that most emails go through with TWO spaces after the usual subject_prefix, on all lists. I don't really mind, but just wanted to mention it. -- Fil

[PATCH] logo disabling, and extra "<BODY " tag
by Adi Fairbank April 15, 2002

April 15, 2002

Here are two quick patches I made (both against version 2.0.8): First one is a new feature which makes it easy to disable display of sponsor logos (I don't know if you wanted this to be so easy or not, but here it is). Second one is a minor bugfix which removes an extra "<BODY " tag in htmlformat.Document.Format(). Looks like a typo. Also, I started doing some work on making it easy to private-label Mailman. Then I noticed a patch has already been submitted (Request ID 401383 on sourceforge) which looks like it does what I wanted (using two new variables GLOBAL_HEADER and GLOBAL_FOOTER). However I don't see this patch in the current release 2.0.9. Are there plans to add this patch, or is it still being worked on? Is it in the 2.1 versions?

throttling back MTA
by Bob Puff＠NLE April 15, 2002

April 15, 2002

Hello, I posted some messages on the Postfix users list, but only received replies about restricting bandwidth. I'm noticing more and more "connection timed out" message in my mail log from when Mailman is sending out thousands of messages at once. What is the best way to deal with this, assuming you don't have a really fat pipe to the internet? Bob

Supporting multiple incoming email addresses

Is anyone working on allowing users to specify multiple incoming mail addresses so they can, for example, post from their home and work addresses even if they are only subscribed at their work address? I am assuming member_posting_only has been set. Ellen
