Re: [Mailman-Users] SPAM Control

Hi Kevin, Where would you like the spam to be put instead of the hold directory? If the spam is filtered to some other folder, there will still be something which will need to be cleaned at some point. There's always the "Discard held messages older than this number of days" option in mailman 2.1.6. Thanks - Ivan.

Hi folks, I don't understand this bounce message. Which one of these addresses are bouncing? It disabled the owner again as you'll see. I'll be looking for responses. Thanks. >X-Persona: <tagline account> >Received: (qmail 10256 invoked by uid 89); 4 Nov 2005 03:22:39 -0000 >Received: from idea5.anoeticconcepts.com (70.86.162.170) > by 0 with SMTP; 4 Nov 2005 03:22:39 -0000 >Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=idea5.anoeticconcepts.com) > … [View More]

Automatically unsubscribe someone
by Nelly Yusupova Nov. 4, 2005

Nov. 4, 2005

How can I automatically unsubscribe someone from an announce list, using a php script? I tried sending an email to listname-request(a)mydomain.com with the following command in the subject line: unsubscribe EMAIL_OF_SUBSCRIBER Unfortunately, the subscriber gets a confirmation message to choose whether they want to unsubscribe or not. My goal is to unsubscribe the person from the list as soon as their service expires. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Nelly.

BBoard
by JT Nov. 4, 2005

Nov. 4, 2005

Hi, I would like to mirror on of my mailing lists to a BBoard. I tried doing this by subscribing post+bboardname(a)bboardhost.com to the mailing list. However there is a slight problem with this. Anyone could have a password reminder sent to the BBoard where it would be visible publicly. Is there any way I can: A) turn off the ability to get password reminders sent, or B) administer a mailing list subscription from another email address, ie where password reminder would get sent to me … [View More]

Searching for disabled subscribers
by Bob Bergey Nov. 4, 2005

Nov. 4, 2005

Is there a way to search (using the Admin Web interface) for all subscribers who have been disabled by bounces? I want to remove them from one of my lists, but there are a couple of hundred of them and I was hoping to avoid scrolling through lists of 30 at a time. Any easy ways to do this? I looked through the Mailman FAQ and did a little searching in the list archives, but didn't come up with any answers.

List subscribers receiving duplicate messages: help!
by Iain D.Brown Nov. 4, 2005

Nov. 4, 2005

Dear fellow Mailman users, I have just started using Mailman for a large Society mailing list (~500 subscribers), and have run into two problems that are causing a lot of heat on my new list. Problem 1: when a subscriber replies to a message that is part of a lengthy thread, their email client is listing the addresses of all previous respondents to the thread, eg: A thread on Mickey Mouse on the list disney.example.dom has attracted postings from minnie(a)disneyexample.com, mickey(a)… [View More]

Western encoding default
by Kevin N. Carpenter Nov. 4, 2005

Nov. 4, 2005

Hi all - Compliments of being a Westerner with a Eastern European fiancee, I tend to use Unicode-8 as my default language. Alas, many folks in the USA restrict their e-mail and filter for non-Western coding as an anti-spam technique. Is there anyway I can configure my maillist to recode incoming data from registered users from Unicode to a Western code? Thanks, Kevin

Mailman move problem - fixed!
by Kevin N. Carpenter Nov. 4, 2005

Nov. 4, 2005

To all those that ever move Mailman from one location to another - save yourself some grief, tarball up the old area, and REMOVE it. Then don't forget to change /etc/passwd to point to the new home directory... things will be a lot smoother after that... Also, if your going between machines, don't forget to run "withlist fix_url" on each list. Kevin

Subscribing someone from a CGI script
by Steve Vance Nov. 3, 2005

Nov. 3, 2005

I have Mailman set up and working, for several mailing lists. On one of them, the mailing list is part of a website which has a form you can fill out. You can put in your name, e-maill address, what you're interested in, etc. One of the items on the form is a checkbox, "Subscribe me to the listserve". I'm trying to get this checkbox to work. The CGI is coded in PHP and Perl. I have tried various ways of automatically subscribing someone to the Mailman listserve in question, but so far I … [View More]
