After a lot of testing I am pretty sure this is a HotMail issue, but it seems to be keyed to something innocent in Mailman and maybe someone can give me a clue as to what and what to do about it (aside from getting everyone to get a real e-mail account.) Tests to AOL and roadrunner work fine. Mailman 2.2.1 Python-2.2.2 RedHat 7.1 Ensim webhost, but installed outside the chrooted environment. Two lists trying to send to paulfoobar(a)hotmail.com: With the general discussion … [View More]

Go to the list administration page of the web interface. On the right side click on "<http://svr01.thcwd.com/mailman/edithtml/the-generous-husband>Edit the public HTML pages". Make your changes.

Do you happen to know where >that setting is for sendmail? In /usr/share/sendmail/README of the Linux box that runs my Mailman lists I found: <quote> confMAX_RCPTS_PER_MESSAGE MaxRecipientsPerMessage [infinite] If set, allow no more than … [View More] the specified number of recipients in an SMTP envelope. Further recipients receive a 452 error code (i.e., they are deferred for the next delivery attempt). </quote> and /usr/share/sendmail/m4/proto.m4 contains: _OPTION(MaxRecipientsPerMessage, `confMAX_RCPTS_PER_MESSAGE', `100') but /etcsendmail.cf contains: #O MaxRecipientsPerMessage=100 which being commented out presumably doesn't affect operation of the Snedmail instance. But I am not a Sendmail expert.

list aliases
by Bruce Embrey June 26, 2003

June 26, 2003

Mailman Users List: I am running Mailman 2.1.1 When I generate a new list it wants me to add 7 aliases per list to my aliases file. Since I want my users to maintain their list enrollments through the webpage, what are the minimum aliases needed to keep the list functional?

Mailman 2.1.2

June 26, 2003

Hello all, I have had the unfortunate problem of the place that hosts my collocated server move data centers from one coast to the other. And it seems to have broke a few things. I am running FreeBSD 4.7 with Sendmail. I made sure qrunner was started and sendmail is working as far as I can tell. My clients send and receive mail fine. Mine is basically an announce only email so only 3 people send to the list. All of the web pages for it are working. I am not getting any mail from the … [View More]

modifying subscribers progammatically
by Rick Pasotto June 26, 2003

June 26, 2003

Using Mailman version: 2.1.1 I have a mysql database of members of a club and would like to be able to have changes to that database propagated to the club's mailing list. I use python scripts to maintain the database. 1. Can I do everything with 'withlist'? adding, deleting, setting the do-not-mail flag? The example in 'withlist' shows only setMemberPassword(). Where do I find any other possible functions that can be used? 2. Now that mailman is keeping user names, what is the format of the … [View More]

Removal of all body attachments in immediate admin notification emails
by Steve Werby June 26, 2003

June 26, 2003

I'm a long-time Mailman admin/user and a number of list admins on a server I administer have requested removal of the message body attachment in the immediate notifications. Apparently the vast majority of the approval requests are spam and due to the effect of the email on their local anti-spam software and dislike of the ramifications of their MUA loading embedded visible images and web bugs, they'd prefer to get the notifications, just without the body attached. I've read the FAQ, source … [View More]
