Too many pending requests?
by Per Starback July 7, 2003

July 7, 2003

I can't get to the pending request page for a mailing list. (My web clients just say "waiting for response" and finally give up.) I think it is because there are too many pending requests after some problems. (config.db is almost 10MB.) How can I do this some other way?

Allowing posts with certain topics/blocking all others
by Sarah K. Miller Sept. 16, 2002

Sept. 16, 2002

I have a list that I'd like to enforce a set of headers on. In other words, each message subject must start with a certain word in order be posted. Has anybody found a way to do this? I know I can block messages with certain headers, but I want to block all messages and only allow those with the approved headers. If anybody has a great idea how to accomplish this, please pass it on ... -- Sarah

Stop monthly password reminders?
by Josh Lothian Aug. 12, 2002

Aug. 12, 2002

Hi all, Quick question: I've looked through most of the options available to a list admin, and I can't find one to disable the monthly password reminders. I know this sounds like a bad idea, but we have a secretary who maintains quite a few mailing lists for out department, and we'd like to switch her over to mailman. However, we probably don't want students to be able to unsubscribe themselves from certain of our announcement-type mailing lists. Any ideas? Am I missing something simple? … [View More]

The keyword is logfiles. Check the mailman /log directory and check the MTA (mailer) logfiles which are placed depending on your mailer and OS.

by barry＠zope.com Jan. 1, 2002

Jan. 1, 2002

Hot on the heels of Mailman 2.0.7, I'm now releasing 2.0.8 which fixes several cross-site scripting security holes, and a few other minor bug fixes. More information on cross-site scripting exploits in general can be found at http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2000-02.html I recommend anybody running a version of Mailman up to, and including 2.0.7 to upgrade to version 2.0.8. I've made both full source tarballs and patches available. Actually, patches going all the way back to 2.0 are … [View More]

by Richard Barrett Dec. 21, 2001

Dec. 21, 2001

Having posted Mailman-htdig integration patches on sourceforge and subsequently maintained them I am interested in finding out how many sites have adopted the patches and want to continue using them.

Dec. 11, 2001

yes, I know this is a frequently asked question and I know it's mostly sendmail related. I want to strip out HTML/attachments from incoming mail messages. I've done some research and settled on using stripmime.pl until stripping out mime stripping is incorporated into Mailman. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble getting it running with sendmail/smrsh. I am running Mailman 2.0.5 I have doublecheck all the obvious things I can think of, such as: soft link from /etc/smrsh to stripmime rerun … [View More]
