Mailman then has a bigger amount of lines/errors he can process before hitting the actual command. HTML and MIMI related content will be seen as an error and will be ignored by Mailman. Sending E-mail to list-request works without a hassle now :-) Its a dirty method. But it works :-) Thanks for all the help, Sacha Ligthert

Is there a way to limit the max limit on message size globally for all lists? Were concerned about letting customers manage this veriable as it can have extremely detrimentel effects when your installation becomes quite large. Please respond to me personally as well as the list. Thanks. -- Erik Walum <esew(a)verio.net> Internet Systems Engineer Verio Inc. - ISS Mail Team

filtering HTML mail?
by Tom_Roche＠ncsu.edu 23 Feb '01

23 Feb '01

I manage a mailman-run list. I'd like to know: can one configure Mailman to bounce or hold HTML posts? Apologies if this is a FAQ, but I don't see any appropriate options among the list configuration options, nor did I see anything at http://www.aurora.edu/~ckolar/mailman/mailman-administration-v2.html Please reply directly to me (as well as the list): I'm not a subscriber. (My relationship with mailman is platonic :-) TIA, Tom_Roche(a)ncsu.edu

Lists are accessible by single pages, Lists are marked as "advertise" The problem was the "list overview" not showing lists that have non-matching host names on the "listinfo" pages, "admin" list shows all lists on the host despite virtual name differences.

Mass Moving Lists between machines
by Gregory G. Woodbury 23 Feb '01

23 Feb '01

I'm attempting to move lists from one machine to another. Machine 1: Mailman 2.0b6 Machine 2: Mailman 2.0.1 otherwise they are identical except for CPU The catch: The "admin" URL shows all the appropriate lists, the "listinfo" URL says there are no publicly advertised lists. Hints, suggestions? -- Greg Woodbury, OAO NIEHS Contract, SysAdmin Task

Unwanted Body Content
by Sacha Ligthert 22 Feb '01

22 Feb '01

Hi List, Sorry to bother you again with my inferior questions, Searching the Documentation and browsing through the archives resulted into void. So I feel I'm at your mercy again. To subscribe it is possible to send an E-mail with in the body "subscribe" to the right adres. But Outlook has a nasty feature to send allong some extra content with the body before the user-content. For example: Command? This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader doe... Command? this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. Command? ------_=_NextPart_001_01C09B24.EC2EEC80 Command? Content-Type: text/plain; >>>>> >>>>> Too many errors encountered; the rest of the message is ignored: > charset="iso-8859-1" <end example> is there a way to filter this kind of content out? Digging through the archives shown me tools like deMIME and other tools (MIME*) Could these be an alternative. Greetings & Thank you, Sacha Ligthert

incorrect subscriber's address
by Dmitry Barabanov 22 Feb '01

22 Feb '01

Dear experts, I have one strange address subscribed to one of my lists. It's looking like this: "user(a)domain.com"@domain.com I would like to remove it, but remove_members script don't help as well as unchecking appropriate box on the Membership management page. Any ideas? Thanks ****************************************** Dmitry N.
