If they are the same, I suggest eliminating one. I also suggest using the .png extension if it is a png file. Finally, both should be marked as binary, but that is a more general problem for which I will submit a separate bug.

trying to tweak adminstrative options
by Adam Lacey Sept. 5, 2002

Sept. 5, 2002

Apologize in advance if this isnt the mailing to help me, but if anyone can I would appreciate it. I am running mailman to manage lists. It works fine as intended, however I want to restrict access to certain adminstrative features (message size, etc). However I want to keep access to other adminstrative features (membership management, desrciptions, greeting message, etc.). I thought if I could find where the pages for the list administration options are created, I could simply remove the options that I dont want the list administrators access to, and if I wanted to change those options, I could simply edit via the command line (config_list). However, I dont know the structure of the program, or if there is a semi-easy solution. Could anybody shed some light on where that particular content is made, where I could edit it, or if I can. Thanks for the help _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

They should be. doc/posting-flow-chart.ps *is* marked as binary. I believe that ps files can be treated as text. In an earlier bug I said that the posting-flowchart graphics were not marked as binary; that was incorrect. It's only the material in the subdirectories that is not marked as binary. A spot check of one of the files with gzip says its still OK, so the error may not be too significant. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A.

[ mailman-Bugs-604841 ] simulate bounce

This would simply send an invalid address message back to the sender. Usually used for spam emails with members only posting. Would greatly reduce spam as the invalid address would be removed by most automated spamming systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=604841&group_i…
