8 bit headers causing bounces...
by Nigel Metheringham July 22, 1999

July 22, 1999

I currently have one subscriber on the list whose From: line contains a load of 8 bit data. This goes through my MTA and mailman quite happily, but is being bounced by a number of other remote mailers. I am talking to the subscriber concerned, however I am a tad concerned that this has the potential to be a bigger problem. Howabout a denial of service attack - I send a pile of messages of this type to the list, which get bounced by various MTAs and cause the recipients behind the picky … [View More]

Performance question
by Jeff Barger July 22, 1999

July 22, 1999

Hi all, Just wondering, what are the biggest lists that anyone is running though mailman? I've got a non-profit group I'm getting ready to set a list up for and their current sub list is approx. 100,000 but with pretty light traffic (2-3 messages/day). No archiving or anything, just message delivery. Should mailman handle this ok or am I asking for trouble? -Jeff

Macintosh IE 4.5, cookie decoding problem status?
by Brett Dikeman July 21, 1999

July 21, 1999

Saw this mentioned in the archives, but no solution was posted. I'm running mailman-1.0rc3, and I can't do -squat- from IE 4.5 because mailman can't decode the cookies. The cookie is there, it has some data in it, it's enabled, I don't have any proxies, etc. Is this in the process of being fixed, fixed already, or what? It's a major problem if it can't be administered from any browser, particularly one of the most popular Macintosh browsers. In my application, if it won't work on IE … [View More]

Admin pages vs. Navigator 3 no good ?
by Andy McClements July 21, 1999

July 21, 1999

Hi, I have one of my list-owners trying to manage his list via the web-pages, and he's finding that with Navigator 3.01 (16-bit), nothing seems to be changed when he hits the "Submit changes" button. He's unable to subscribe any users for example. I've duplicated this problem on a different system also running Navigator 3. If this a known problem ? Is there a patch ? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Andy McClements | mailto: a.mcclements(a)linst.… [View More]

Feature Request: Strip 'return receipt'
by Dave Cinege July 21, 1999

July 21, 1999

Not only is a request for return reciept post annoying, it is also a way to fish for mailing list members. I feel proper action should be to strip this line from the header and pass on the post. I have already added disposition-notification-to: .* To my 'hold headers' regex, but would prefer the above. -- http://www.linuxrouter.org/ Linux Router Project "Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more … [View More]
