Still need code info for privacy option
by Nicholson James D April 15, 1999

April 15, 1999

To All: I reported a problem previously that the privacy option to rewrite the mail header to make it appear that it is coming from the list as opposed to an individual user, is broken under IRIX 6.2 (or possibly just on my machine). I REALLY need to take a look at the code responsible for this. However, I just don't know mailman. Could someone please give me a pointer to the code responsible for the rewrite as well as some way to check the settings to see if the web interface to list … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] 'Too many recipients.'

Many MTA's can be configured to deny posts which are addressed to more than X recipients. Usually this is used as a form of SPAM detection/prevention, or as a method of forcing bulkmail (such as list postings) to go thru an MTA configured for that load. MailMan ouputs messages with (guesstimate) 100 recipiants per message. If the MTA that MailMan … [View More]

'Too many recipients.'
by Scott A. McIntyre April 14, 1999

April 14, 1999

Hi, What would generate the 'Too many recipients.' error? At first I thought it was the value of the ceiling in the privacy configuration, but I have some lists with 70+ users and never get the error. The ceiling seems to be set at "10" by default. Thanks, Scott

You can't rename a list (beyond changing the case of the letters in the public name - you should not change any more or it will break things). However, you can use mailman's bin/list_members script to enumerate all the members of a list, and then use the bin/add_members script to populate a new list with those members. '~mailman/list_members --help' and '~mailman/… [View More]

Find out a list admin password ?
by Ian Jackson April 14, 1999

April 14, 1999

I've just installed mailman (1.0b8, Debian GNU/Linux revison 3). I created a test list, and due to me not having set up the mail alias for mailman-owner correctly before hitting `return' at the prompt, mailman wasn't able to send the mail containing the admin password to the listowner. I have two questions: 1. Are the mailman developers aware that mailman can lose mail ? The message which mailman tried to send (via SMTP) was rejected by my local Exim because the sender was wrong, and the … [View More]

Suggestion
by Jonathan Bradshaw April 14, 1999

April 14, 1999

I have a suggestion to allow either a user-configurable filter or allow the implementation of a filter for "included content" like many Usenet posting programs have. I'm sick of posters including a whole digest to make a 2 line reply. -- Jonathan Bradshaw <Jonathan(a)NrgUp.Com> | Novell 4.x CNE | Ham Callsign N9OXE "...I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil.
