Digests: Can you set the From address?
by pareilly＠tcd.ie 21 Mar '04

21 Mar '04

I'm looking to add the following feature to 2.1.4 When the DIGESTs are sent out they come from <list>-request@<domain> I'd like to include a descriptive text for the FROM field. eg: '"Talk Mailing List" <talk-request(a)mydomain.com>' I don't mind hacking the code to make this change. Can someone point me in the right direction? Paul

Scrubber.patch dead
by Gavin Henry 20 Mar '04

20 Mar '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Don't know if this is the right list. But our own list died a few days ago, and I narrowed it down after reading the FAQ and mailing list to: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg22519.html So I have followed this, but the patch always dies using either patch -p0 or - -p1. Any chance the patch could be recreated? Maybe with diff -urN instead? I have a big queque in /var/spool/mailman/qfiles/shunt that I need to get rid of :-) Thanks everyone. - -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. Director. Open Source.

No route to host problem
by Kory Wheatley 18 Mar '04

When I send a message to a mailman 2.1.4 mailing list using Postfix from a yahoo account. I receive an error message that says "No route to Host". It seems when I send out a message from our domain "isu.edu" they are received, but from any other smtp host I receive the below error: /var/log/maillog:Mar 17 01:55:24 lx5 postfix/smtp[16457]: 10F74124A31: to=<wheakorypersonal(a)yahoo.com>, relay=none, delay=4956, status=deferred (connect to mx4.mail.yahoo.com[216.155.197.63]: No route to host) Here's my main.cf using postconf -n ( would really appreciate help this is critical).

Virus sent to lists "from" my domain - add password for moderated users
by Arthur Gibbs 17 Mar '04

17 Mar '04

Using Mailman 2.1.3, we have had problems with virus-generated messages with spoofed senders getting through to a one-way list. The only 'solution' I have found is to to disallow any non-moderated users or administrators. This forces all messages, even from list admins, to be moderated. Under Privacy options: [Recipient filters], we set "Ceiling on acceptable number of recipients for a posting" to 1. And also turned on 'Emergency moderation of all list traffic is enabled' in General Options. However this is not ideal. Back in the dark ages I used Majodomo. As primtive as that program was, these virus messages would not be getting through. Reason? The moderated users had to include a password with each post. Could that password type feature be added? A virus might forge the 'form' and the envelope. But it is aweful hard to forge a good password that also matches that from. Any thoughts?

200 000 subscribers
by Fil 16 Mar '04

16 Mar '04

Hello there, on my brand new Mailman box (quadriproc, a lot of memory, load near zero), I have uploaded a 200 000 subscribers list, just to see what happens. The Web interface sort of works, but is really slow When I go to http://listes.rezo.net/mailman/admin/test2/members it takes about 25 seconds to get the page. And just a bit less to "search" a subscriber. If the time is taken by sorting, I'd rather not sort and just use the "search" box (I don't need the list view). If it's taken by loading the subscribers base, then I think we have no hope but to wait for a MySQL-based MM3. So my question is: should I wait? If not, where should I start looking? -- Fil

Hanging OutgoingRunner
by Mike Porter 13 Mar '04

13 Mar '04

Our OutgoingRunner hangs upon occasion. A truss of the process shows that OutgoingRunner is hanging in recv. We feel the most likely reason for this is that the sendmail OutgoingRunner is talking to stopped responding. While fixing our system so that sendmails never hang would be one way to solve the problem, I think there is an easier way [ :-) ], and that is to have the OutgoingRunner timeout on socket operations after so many seconds. Python 2.3 has socket methods settimeout and gettimeout. I'm thinking about using these methods to detect hangs and restart the OutgoingRunner in some fasion. Thoughts? Comments? I'll get some sample code later this afternoon. Details: Mailman 2.1.4 Python 2.3.3 Solaris 9 Thanks, Mike - Mike Porter PGP Fingerprint: F4 AE E1 9F 67 F7 DA EA 2F D2 37 F3 99 ED D1 C2

I take a slightly different approach and stuck Davide Salvetti's mimefilter in front of Mailman as that (for me) has the added advantages of not only doing the appropriate MIME manipulations, but sending emails back to the errant posters telling them what has been done to their messages (ie in polite suggestion to stop). -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas. claw(a)kanga.nu He lived as a devil, eh? http://www.kanga.nu/~claw/ Evil is a name of a foeman, as I live.

No, for we've stated a way to do that: turn off filtering -- but you've said you want filtering, but not collapsing of multipart/alternative structures. Rather than go back and forth, why not state exactly the behaviour you do want in regard to MIME types, and we'll see what if anything can be done to meet that. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas. claw(a)kanga.nu He lived as a devil, eh? http://www.kanga.nu/~claw/ Evil is a name of a foeman, as I live.
