Does anyone have the Minimal set of header that are currently needed for list email? i.e a whitelist, As they say everything counts in large amounts, thinking of writing a filter and wanted to ask before the RFC dig and trying to figure out the ones for list house keeping. ThankYou MJM

Trying to hack interface to bypass Mailman's authorization so that I can integrate it with another administrative environment, so basically I am trying to spoof the cookie that mailman sends after successful login from my own environment. I have isolated the cookie and but my problem is how the program encrypts or encodes the password and timestamp data. I dont know how to recreate this cookie. Could someone enlighten me how to do this? Or what the cookie looks like, and how it is encoded? Basically my external administrative environment will have a list of who is authorized to edit which list, and once that authorization is successful, it will send a cookie (one which looks just like the one mailman is expecting) to the user. So then the user will seamlessly be able to have administrative access.

Changing content before approving message
by Kory Wheatley 18 Sep '02

18 Sep '02

Is there a way when the moderator receive a message, and before he approves it to be sent to the mailing list, to change the content and the from address in the message and then send it to the list with these changes or updates in place. I thought there was a command that you could use to "Approved: listpassword" to change the content with. There are times that we need to change the body and the from address of the pending message before it can be approved. Please help this is real critical and I would appreciate any information. We are using RED HAT 7.2 with python 1.5.2 and mailman 2.0.13 -- ######################################### Kory Wheatley Academic Computing Analyst Sr. Phone 282-3874 ######################################### Everything must point to him.

The latter causes confusion for the typical case of a member (person) posting from other than her subscribed email address, since she gets back a message saying that the post was to a moderated list. And the default reject message for the moderator, something about the posting being deemed inappropriate, is not appropriate. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Les Niles (lniles) Date: 2002-09-18 09:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=92931 Oops -- Hold.NonMemberPost should replace Hold.ModeratedPost at line 101, not line 85.

[ mailman-Feature Requests-611159 ] Option to require ACK on moderated post

Feature Requests item #611159, was opened at 2002-09-18 09:46 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=611159&group_i… Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Len Lattanzi (zardoz) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Option to require ACK on moderated post Initial Comment: I'd like an option where all moderated e-mail requires an ack from the poster before the admin is notified. This would stop 99% of the spam/virii that I get. The e-mail reporting to the user that the mail is pending moderater approval could have an expedite link or even an "oops" link, I didn't mean to send that to the group. Un-ack'ed mail should be discarded automatically -- especially if the "pending approval" message can't even be delivered. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=611159&group_i…
