Rejecting subscribtions from outside a certain domain
by Lucas Hofman Nov. 5, 2001

Nov. 5, 2001

A variety of Timothy question: Is there a simple way to limit subscriptions to a certain domain? We intent to have a list which is used to discuss items confidential to an organization and want to prevent messages being sent to xxxx(a)hotmail.com etc. I know I can approve individual subscriptions, but it would be so much easier to set a filter which must match all email addresses. -- Regards, Lucas Hofman PGS Research work: +47 67514059 PO Box 354 fax: +47 67526640 N-1326 Lysaker, Norway home: +47 67581373

Neither in the copy received from your not the one sent by the list. Do you have any any why your messages do not hread in the mailman user maillist archive? In other words, could it be that the mail system at python.org does not see those headers too? -- Regards, Lucas Hofman PGS Research work: +47 67514059 PO Box 354 fax: +47 67526640 N-1326 Lysaker, Norway home: +47 67581373

Possible to allow web-unsubscribe without a password?
by Kip DeGraaf Nov. 5, 2001

Nov. 5, 2001

My boss wants to have a list, but wants it absolutely easy to unsubscribe from and wants me to have a link at the bottom of every message that will go to a page for unsubscribing. But he doesn't like the password requirement and he doesn't care that it prevents people from unsubscribing others. He wants people who want out to be able to do it as quickly and as painlessly as possible. Is there a way to configure Mailman to allow this?

(Q) Can I reject all postings in HTML?
by Timothy Murphy Nov. 4, 2001

Nov. 4, 2001

The mailman spam-filter seems to only allow regexp's applied to headers. Is there any simple way of rejecting eg all postings whose body starts with <html> or <HTML> ? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: tim(a)maths.tcd.ie tel: 086-233 6090 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Mailman question - Periods in my reply domain names?
by Kender Nov. 4, 2001

Nov. 4, 2001

Hello! I am running the latest version of Mailman (2.0.6) on Mandrake 8.1 (using Postfix). Wierd happening. Mail to the mailing list goes out, but the default Reply-To address is set to <replyaddy>@.<domainname> Why is that period appearing after the @? I can't find it in any of the mailing list setups, in the docs, or anything.. I am really confused by this. (And it does happen in all of my mailing lists) Thanks for any help!

Bug in mailman 2.06
by G=?ISO-8859-1?B?9nJhbiBGcvY=?=jdh Nov. 4, 2001

Nov. 4, 2001

Hi. I'm encountering bugs with the latest mailman release. Everything seems to be working with the exception of the images not showing up at the bottom of the page (everything is at default locations), and - more seriously - the Admindb which doesn't load at all. I.e, I can't access the page for admin requests. This is the message i get: Bug in Mailman version 2.0.6 We're sorry, we hit a bug! Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. --- The pages can be found here: http://dev.fragzone.se/mailman/admindb/crew http://dev.fragzone.se/mailman/listinfo/crew System: FreeBSD 4.4, compiled with cgi-owner as nobody:nogroup.

Qmail and Mailman...Does anyone have a "howto" that will make this work?
by David Chait Nov. 4, 2001

Nov. 4, 2001

Greetings, Call me ignorant, but I can't seem to get Qmail and Mailman to co-exist. My major issue is with the alias files that are required, qmail does not seem to like multiple -'s in an address, and seems to treat them as delimiters for virtual domains. Aside from that everything seems to work fine. This is a RH 7.2 based system running qmail 1.0.3 with dot forward, and fastforward. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, David Chait

Nov. 3, 2001

We are using Sendmail and Apache. Mailman creates a list and send a message out with the URL links to configure it,but, the links do not work and when you try to send mail back to it errors out. We added the aliases as instructed but no luck. Any ideas? Glen

LIKELY_BOUNCE_SENDERS case sensative ?
by Chad M. Stewart Nov. 3, 2001

Nov. 3, 2001

Some clown out there has configured their system send DSNs to the from header instead of the envelope from, as required per the RFCs. I'm going to fire off a note to them later. Their DSN came from 'Mailer-Daemon <Mailer-Daemon(a)aa.bb.cc>' and as of yet I have left LIKELY_BOUNCE_SENDERS with the default values. Whichs leads to my question, how did this message make it to the list? >From the post log I have the following Nov 03 04:26:53 2001 (962) post to list from mailer-daemon(a)aa.bb.cc, size=262, success >From Defaults.py LIKELY_BOUNCE_SENDERS = ('daemon', 'mailer-daemon', 'postmaster', 'orphanage', 'postoffice') Another question: Where might I find the code that deals with the subject prefix, the part that determines wether to add it or not? I've seen some posts to my list which have the prefix twice, appears that the client inserted a space at the beginning, i.e. ' Re: blah' instead of 'Re: blah' and mailman inserted the subject prefix, though it was already present. Thanks, Chad
