Reverse DNS
by Paul Croft July 31, 2002

July 31, 2002

I have been having trouble delivering my mailing lists to AOL subscribers....today I spoke with a tech at AOL and he told me that the problem was the my site didn't have its "reverse DNS" set up correctly and therefore my emails were considered "suspect". His solution was to correct the Reverse DNS. Anyone have any clues as to how I go about doing this and exactly what it entails? TIA Paul

Adding exception to html-stripping in the archive
by Laurence Berland July 31, 2002

July 31, 2002

I've already written code that filters the messages on their way to the archiver, substituting based on regular expressions. It does this in the Queue/ArchRunner.py file, in just about the last spot before the actual archiver gets called. It can't go in the archiver, because it needs to be able to read the mlist variable for configuration and such. I need to be able to use a regular expression to substitute in a snippet of html code. This could be used for several things, but my intention is to use it to add an img tag. Is there a way to configurably get around the html-sanitizing done by the archiver in some non-kludge way? TIA, Laurence

Hi mailman, I'd love to explicitly set the charset of all pages generated by mailman and the archiver to gb2312, setting DEFAULT_CHARSET to gb2312 in mm_cfg.py doesn't seem to work. Thanks for any hint or suggestion. -Clay

AW: [Mailman-Users] List-Admin

Hi allan Thank you for your answer.

But this is not a problem, but it is not what i want. > > sorry can't quite understand by what you meant on your next > question. > and from my understanding you want that whenever a list administrator > pre-subscribed users to his/her mailing list. > it would still require an approval? No. I want that a "administrator" subscribe a new user by "email", NOT by webinterface. Example: "subscribe password nodigest address=xyz(a)domain.de". that run's OK, no problem. But i did'nt want that i must, as "administrator", approve this subscribing. bye Michael Maurer ---

by Fred B July 31, 2002

July 31, 2002

I'm on a hosting service that has all the requisite software installed (Python, Qmail, Apache, etc...). Do I have to have root privileges if I want to install Mailman and have it work with just my account? Any tips are appreciated, FB _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
