before next release: disable backscatter in default installation
by Jo Rhett Nov. 7, 2022

Nov. 7, 2022

Hi. There's a fairly simple problem here that needs to be addressed. And it's mostly a documentation/install problem. I'm hoping we can get this resolved before the next release. PROBLEM: Mailman comes out of the box ready to backscatter spam people. Yes, it's easy enough to fix. But because it comes stock this way, and is documented to install this way, most people install it to do this. Those of us who work in abuse departments are tired of hearing "well that's how Mailman … [View More]

Adding CSS to mailman archives
by Andrew Daviel Feb. 13, 2015

Feb. 13, 2015

A little while ago (November 2012 probably) I changed a mailing list from Hypermail to Mailman and wanted to keep some of the look-and-feel of the archives, e.g. background colour and fonts. So I patched mailman 2.1.9 in CentOS 5 to include a CSS stylesheet link in each generated HTML page, replacing e.g. <BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> with just <body> and adding e.g. body {background-color: #ffffff ; color: black; } in /pipermail/mailman.css, so that HTML style such as FONT and SIZE … [View More]

by ML mail July 28, 2014

July 28, 2014

Hi, In Mailman3 it would be nice to be able to add moderators to a mailing list from the command line using the mailman command. Currently I can only see the possibility to add new members to a mailing list, or did I miss something here? Regards ML

Message acceptance options not working?
by ML mail July 28, 2014

July 28, 2014

Hi, I am testing the two following list config parameters: default_nonmember_action default_member_action and actually the following options do not work: Reject (with notification) and Discard (no notification) It looks like currently only the hold for moderator and accept options are working. Is it possible that these two are not ready yet in the beta4 version of mailman? Furthermore the approval mail to the moderator contains in its body as reason XXX: Reason: XXX I … [View More]

[CLI Project] Switched command Parsing to YACC and LEX
by Rajeev S July 26, 2014

July 26, 2014

Hi, As mentioned, I have pushed r67, that comprises of the improved command parsing system using Lex and YACC, for the Mailman shell. The PLY module is used for the purpose. Every command has a parser script associated with it, under the `client/parsers/` directory. The parser is imported and used by each command independently. The parser returns the necessary arguments as a hash table, which can be easily used by the command execution procedure. The change of command parsing method to … [View More]

REST API documentation (list of all possible parameters)
by ML mail July 25, 2014

July 25, 2014

Hello, I am trying to find out all possible REST API parameters but can't find any documentation listing them all. For example I want to create a new mailing list using the following REST API URL: http://localhost:8001/3.0/list in the documentation I could only find the "fqdn_listname" parameter but there must definitely be more possible parameters such as one for the description, etc. Where can I find a list of these parameters? Regards ML
