? This very message came to me with the following header:
Errors-To: mailman-developers-admin(a)python.org
All my bounces come to the list admin address, set in
the admin webpage, in the second field of General Options.
Do you have that set to something, and bounces still come to root?

I've created the script postfix-to-mailman.py. Python seemed natural, as
mailman is written in python, and invoking postfix-to-mailman.py script
on delivery to mailman just warms up the disk cache with all the python
code and speeds invocation of mailman.
Postfix configuration samples (thanks Wietse) can be found inside the
script itself. The script is heavily based on the qmail-to-postfix
script by Bruce Perens.

Sorry if this is not a new ideea.
We have some internal lists. Users have the (bad) habbit of sending
large attached files on these lists.
What I'd like mailman to be able to do is to automatically take those
attachments out of the posts, storing them to a directory I specify, and
replace them with links to the stored files.
Like this:
"The file attached to this message can be found here
http://bla-blaserver.net/attach/grossely_large_and_stupid_presentation.ppt"
Configuring a http (or ftp) server to publish those attachments would be
the job of the admin.
Thank you. Please CC to me the eventual replies.

It would be great if I could modify the footer of a mailing list to insert
the archive URL of the current message.
Is that easy/possible?
I apologize if this is a FAQ. I read the FAQ and the wish list and couldn't
find a reference to it. I also did at least a cursory google search and
couldn't find anything obvious related to this:
http://www.google.com/search?q=mailman+footerhttp://www.google.com/search?q=mailman+footer+archive
Thanks,

p.s. Suggestion: Put a "last updated" date on the wish list.

An interesting issue came up today while we were playing with a
Bayesian spam classifier. Mailman's archives aren't very clean.
Messages are sent to the archiver after various headering munging
steps, including the adding of the List-* headers and the Subject
prefix.
We still want to do some munging, e.g. for anonymous lists. This
tells me that we may want to move ToArchive up before CookHeaders in
the global pipeline.
I don't think we want to move ToDigest or ToUsenet because I think we
/want/ those headers munged before the message is sent to the digests
or news server. What do you think?

Summary: bin/arch not processing mbox import corr
Initial Comment:
I needed to import an archive from yahoo!groups. a
list formerly on Y!G is now on my server with
MM2.1b3. After creating the mbox file with a perl
script na dtesting it with pine (to make sure all the
email is acuallu there), I tried to import it
using arch. there are a few thousand emails in the file,
but arch only finds 2? I posted to the mm users
mailing list and got a reply from Larry Weeks, said to
send him a copy of the file, and he tested it with
bin/arch from 2.0.6 and it works as expected.
since the mbox file is readable by pine, shouldn't arch
handle it correctly?
email me if i can provide any thing that would help
diagnose the problem.
thanks...

I'm running 2.1b3.
I found the following in logs/vette:
Sep 29 14:35:29 2002 (1853) Precedence: bulk message ignored by: csc494-request(a)third-bit.com
Sep 29 14:48:29 2002 (1853) Precedence: bulk message ignored by: csc494-request(a)third-bit.com

Sep 29 21:34:59 2002 (1853) Precedence: bulk message ignored by: csc494-request(a)third-bit.com
There's a bunch more, dating back to time immemorial. They tend to, but
don't always, follow some other message in the logs by exactly 30
seconds (the queue processing interval?):
Sep 29 14:34:59 2002 (1853) csc494 post from chk(a)pobox.com held: Post to moderated list
Sep 29 14:47:59 2002 (1853) csc494 post from g(a)mbl.ca held: Post to moderated list
Sep 29 17:11:59 2002 (1853) Precedence: bulk message ignored by: csc494-request(a)third-bit.com
Sep 29 21:34:59 2002 (1853) Precedence: bulk message ignored by: csc494-request(a)third-bit.com
There are no messages in the sendmail logs addressed to
"csc494-request", so this looks to me like something internal to mailman's
queue processing.
Should I just ignore these? Is there anyway to capture the message that
is being ignored?
Thanks,

thanks for the help. However, the guy that installed it for me
had to hack it up so much to make it work with plesk (my
virtual host management software, that we've had to write
some custom scripts to use instead of the ones that came w/
mailman...

Don't run "newlist" from the source directory, run it from the installation
directory. This is true for some other scripts as well.
Check the installation directory, and you will find a file "paths.py", which is
correctly imported from "newlist" (and other) scripts. The same library can
be found in other directories as well (i.e. $install_dir/cron/).

This patches changes Sendmail.py so it actually works
and stops some of the problems with the old Sendmail.py
like duplicate messages and other unknown conditions of

Summary: Umbrella list member exploder.
Initial Comment:
If you subscribe a list to another list with the format
+somelist(a)mailman.domain then that line is removed and
all of the members of 'somelist' are put in it's place.
This allows you to have heiracial lists that apear to
come from the master list, but are totaly generated on
the fly by the members of other lists.
