approve every post?
by Rich Gordon 27 Mar '02

27 Mar '02

Hi- Please excuse my "newbie" question as I am completely new to email lists. I am running a list for my daughters ice hockey team. I have been doing some 'test" post and I keep getting the following: Your mail to 'Jrsharks19under' with the subject test test test Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval. The reason it is being held: Message has implicit destination Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive notification of the moderator's decision. All I want is for the poster to be able to post there message without myself, the administrator, having to review every mailing. I put a check by "no" in the admin area as far as Check postings and intercept ones that seem to be administrative requests? Must posts be approved by an administrator? Am I missing something? How can I correct it so posters can just reply without myself having to check and approve every posting? If you need more information to answer my question please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried my hosting company and they weren't much help. thank you for your time, Rich Gordon http://ns.pagematic.net/mailman/listinfo/jrsharks19under_bestafs.com

Removing subscriber with invalid character in email
by Timothy Gerla 27 Mar '02

27 Mar '02

Someone managed to subscribe to my list using a very strange email with several unprintable (LF, I think) characters in her username. I can't remove the entry because no matter what I try, Mailman chops off the invalid characters and reports that the user does not exist in the list. How can I remove this entry without rebuilding the list from scratch? I've tried bin/remove_user. Any ideas? I'm running Mailman 2.0.8. Thanks, -Tim

changes to existing mailing list
by abw 26 Mar '02

I hope this is the right list to post this question to. One of our users is having a problem with his mailing list now. Recently his domain expired and was bought by someone else, so he had to register the org version. That is the only difference, the name is the same. He went into the mailman admin for this list and made the necessary domain changes. The mailing list was working fine until he switched domains. Now it won't send confirmations. Below is a snippet of his email to me: ----- I changed all the setting in the config of mailman to all .org and it seems to be working ok, but it won't sent me the authorization of a post sent to it. Usually I sent the email newsletter to fmbseafood_newsletter(a)fmbseafood.org then it sends an auth email to me or casey and we ok it, then it goes out to everyone, but it won't even send it to me first for auth. ----- His email address does work because I send messages to him all the time. What I'm wondering is that since he switched the com with org, does the mailing list have to be set up again or is there another way around this? Thank you in advance for any help!

List features and wish list
by Jim McNelly 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Greetings, This is a list moderator of the US Composting Council Discussion list (650 members) here with some suggestions and comments. I would like the ability to have the bozo bucket of restricted posters to be sent something other than the fearsome and insulting "forbidden sender" message. This would be to run a list where the bozo bucket is large and the approved posters is small, but not fully moderated-for-approval. The message should be able to state "held for moderator approval". If I switch over to a moderator approval mode and put a large number of users into the approved status, what message will go out to the poster? I hope not the "forbidden sender" message. Are there limits to the number of names in the various columns? I would like to be able to capture the directory of members all at once in a single database rather than having to cut and paste, screen by screen. How about adding the ability to filter out "out of office" and other autoreplies in the administrivia section, or for that matter, making the criteria manageable by the moderator. I would also like to kill certain threads in the header that are off topic. How about an easy banner menu for putting in HTML into sponsor footers? I would like to make the archive a subscriber access page. I would also like to add advertising on the archive page. How do I set up a password or approved e-mail system for accessing the archive? How about making the entire archive searchable, not just the month that is grouped? Do I have to turn the archive into one large database to make it searchable? I pay my ISP to host Mailman. How do you guys make any money doing this? That's it for the moment. Thanks Jim McNelly List Manager US Composting Council Discussion Group jim(a)composter.com www.compostingcouncil.org
