Prohibiting Local Access to Archives
by Kenneth Jacker April 27, 2001

April 27, 2001

This is the *third* letter I have written on the same topic. Before I give up and return to using Majordomo for certain lists, I am trying one last time. Is there a way to prohibit local users (with some knowledge of Mailman's archive directory structure and naming conventions) from seeing the contents of archived files?

It seems to me that changing the permissions on the files you want to prevent access to anyone other than group mailman would be sufficient, no? Unless the process of adding to the files automatically resets the permissions, in which case it's probably the umask on the process creating them that needs to be set to 006 instead of 002.

Hi! I have recently installed mailman and I am now trying to figure out how to make it accept swedish characters (åäö) in the templates (such as verify.txt/subscribeack.txt). Can anyone help me out? I tried to find an answer to that question in the mailman-users-archive but it is very hard to go through all the mails and I couldnt find an answer.

Undelivered msgs?

April 27, 2001

For some unknown reason, mailman 2.0 started doing something rather weird today and I can't figure out why, nor how to fix it. It's been running fine for months, however today I received several messages with the subject of 'Undeliverable Mail', and it pastes almost the entire message in the body. This is what it looks like (sorry for the spam): --------------------------------------------------- Invalid final delivery userid: jessi@LOCALHOST Original message follows.
