scrubbing attachments
by martin f krafft 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

In our lab, everyone continuously sends PDFs of several megabytes. Mailman archives these nicely, referencing scrubbed attachments from the archived message: A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: programm_ssf04.pdf Type: application/pdf Size: 3477360 bytes Desc: not available Url : ... However, the attachment is still delivered to all 80+ subscribers. I wonder if it's possible to replace the attachment in the email with a link to the file saved under /attachments/... of the list archives? Or is this not possible because the archives are actually generated separately by pipermail? -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck invalid/expired pgp subkeys? use subkeys.pgp.net as keyserver! spamtraps: madduck.bogus(a)madduck.net "time flies like an arrow. fruit flies like a banana." -- groucho marx

by Derrick Seymour 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

I am trying to configure mailing list in Mac OSX Server 10.3.5. I am having trouble posting to the list, or I should say my test users are having trouble. Upon posting to a list this message is sent back: This is the Postfix program at host test.org. I'm sorry to have to inform you that the message returned below could not be delivered to one or more destinations. For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster> If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the message returned below. The Postfix program <test(a)server.test.org>: mail for server.test.org loops back to myself Reporting-MTA: dns; test.org Arrival-Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2004 13:34:37 -0400 (EDT) Final-Recipient: rfc822; test(a)server.test.org Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; mail for server.test.org loops back to myself I am quite green at this and any help would be appreciated Thanks Derrick

Usiing the withlist with default_member_moderation and accept-these_nonmembers
by Kory Wheatley 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

Hi All, I'm trying to write a script where I can change the default_member_moderation and accept-these_nonmembers objects, after a new Mailman list is created automatically by a cron process. I've been able to change the "default_member_moderation" as planned, but the "accept_these_nonmembers" object I'm having troubles with. When I try to add an email address, it shows up in the configuration like this: w e b @ i s u . e d u How can I get the whole thing on one line. There's my python code import sys #Run this script with #withlist -l -r change_values mylist # def change_values(mlist): print 'LIST ', mlist.internal_name() print ' Default Member Moderation Before: ', mlist.default_member_moderation print ' Accepted Non Members Before: ', mlist.accept_these_nonmembers mlist.default_member_moderation = 1 mlist.accept_these_nonmembers = "root(a)mm.isu.edu' print ' Default Member Moderation After: ', mlist.default_member_moderation print ' Accepted Non Members After: ', mlist.accept_these_nonmembers mlist.Save() The reason why I'm doing this is these lists have a different configuration setup than what's in a default list that's setup with the standard configuration in mm_cfg.py -- Kory Wheatley Academic Computing Analyst Sr. Phone 282-3874 ######################################### Everything must point to him.

RE: Reset Archive to Private on all existing lists
by Franco, Ruben 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

Okay, will I was able to use a the "list_lists -b" command to create complete listing of our lists (lists.txt). Then incorporated that list into a script that used "config_list" with an configuration input file "private_archive.txt" to reset every list to private archives only (archive_private = 1). #---------Reset Lists to Private Archive------------------------- # CONFIG=/usr/local/mailman/bin/private_archive.txt LISTS=/usr/local/mailman/bin/lists.txt # for list in `cat $LISTS` do echo "$list" config_list -vi $CONFIG "$list" ### Test run with Checkonly option ###config_list -cvi $CONFIG "$list" done exit > -----Original Message----- > From: Franco, Ruben > Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 5:00 PM > To: 'mailman-users(a)python.org' > Subject: Reset Archive to Private on all existing lists > > Hello, > We changed the option "DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_PRIVATE" to "1" in the "Defaults.py" file, but we are wondering, "Is there a way to rest the Archive option to PRIVATE for any of our existing lists without having to go to each individual list one at a time"? > > Ruben > > >
