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]

Hi, I just completed setting up the Mailman 3 projects on zanata.org They can be found here: https://translate.zanata.org/project/view/mailman https://translate.zanata.org/project/view/postorius https://translate.zanata.org/project/view/hyperkitty I'm hesitating to ask people to translate because zanata is really slow and I'm afraid of scaring people away from translating mailman in the future :D Anyhow, I'm writing to ask for your opinions. What do you think about zanata? Maybe you can … [View More]

Hi, I started working on docker files for Mailman.

Sequence of steps?
by Roy Harvey Aug. 30, 2016

Aug. 30, 2016

I manage a Mailman list. I believe the situation I describe is not one that can be corrected by changing the configuration, but would require coding changes. (I would love to be wrong!) As such I don't expect anything to be changed, but perhaps it can end up on someone's list of requested features for eventual consideration. So here is the situation. 1) The list is text-only, so messages with fancy formatting are converted to simple text. Attachments such as photos are … [View More]

wiki.list.org theme
by Jim Tittsler Aug. 26, 2016

Aug. 26, 2016

In February, 2015 I changed the wiki.list.org theme to match the then current Mailman site theme. Since then, list.org got a much needed makeover. I've been trying to avoid volunteering to update the wiki theme, but you've cleverly out-waited me. May I have access to the wiki machine so that I can change the theme with access to the current content? Or, would someone be willing to archive up the current content/config and send it to me? The last time I overlooked some of the corner cases … [View More]

Mailman 3 will not pend a registration request more than once for an email/mailing list combination. It's possible to spam every list at least once though, and I'm not sure what you could do about that. Cheers, -Barry
