Implicit Destination
by chardlist May 4, 2005

May 4, 2005

I have a MM 2.1.5 server with 40 lists that are operating perfectly with the exception of 1 user and it's got me stumped. She is writing to the list and placing the list address in the To: field, yet all of her messages are being held for moderator approval citing "Message has implicit" destination. What are all of the circumstances that could cause the message to be held for this reason despite the fact that she appears to be properly addressing the messages? The only theory I'm working on … [View More]

Announce only regexp or setting in 2.1.5
by Ignacio Valdes May 4, 2005

May 4, 2005

Hi, I want to make my list an announce only such that it will automatically discard everything received except something sent by the e-mail id's of the list administrators or list members. I've hunted around and read some documentation but I don't see a regexp for spam filtering or other setting that explicity shows how to do this. I need this b/c I am constantly having to discard junk from the pending moderator requests. Engageing auto-discard for each spammer helps but they come up … [View More]

qmail-to-mailman.py and procmail
by kmoogle May 4, 2005

May 4, 2005

All - I'm currently using Qmail and qmail-to-mailman.py to handle list tasks. Unfortunately, the Sober worm is putting quite the beatdown on the script. In addition, it's generating a large number of "deferral: preline:_fatal:_unable_to_copy_input:_broken_pipe" errors (I presume this is because preline is choking on the attachments.) In any case, my current mailman/.qmail-default contains: === |/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/bin/python /opt/mailman/qmail-to-mailman.py === This has been … [View More]

Set NOMAIL to OFF globally
by Narayan Raum May 4, 2005

May 4, 2005

Apologies for double-post, mail server was down yesterday so I don't know if this went through New to Mailman list so bear with me. Due to some mail server errors, a large number of list members were automatically set to "nomail" status due to bounces. Is there a way to set all members of a list to nomail off without using the web-interface, which will take a long time? The list has over 2500 members and currently half of them are set to nomail on. I am running Mailman 2.1.1 on … [View More]

How can I access the logs?
by Daniel Tygel May 4, 2005

May 4, 2005

Hi all, I've posted a question 5 days ago in this list, and the answer I got was "what do the logs say?". So I tryed to find them. And I didn't! I'm only an administrator of the list, not the provider, so I don't have access to the directories where mailman is installed. Now to the question: I'm using mailman included in CPANEL. Does it mean that I'm running a different mailman? Does someone know how to see the logs in this case? Thank you very much for any insight in this topic, because I'… [View More]

Mail not delivered to one of many lists
by Amardeo Sarma May 4, 2005

May 4, 2005

Hi, there is a problem that never happened on our lists so far. Mails to a particular list are not delivered and seem to be queued under: ~/mailman/qfiles/shunt Just one list is affected, all others are not. I moved all files under ~/mailman/qfiles/shunt to a temporary directory, but that did not help. New test messages to the list again get stuck in that (same) directory. Mails to other lists do not appear there. I am running 2.1.1 using FreeBSD 4.7 with Mailman installed as a port, … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Announce only?
by Staven Bruce May 4, 2005

May 4, 2005

Dale, What I do for an announcment only list is to ensure the moderated bit is set for all list members, then I set Mailman to reject all e-mail from moderated users. I include a "rejected" message explaining that the list is for annoucements only and ask users to contact us another way. I then set Mailman to discard any and all mail from non-list members. I do not know if Mailman can automatically except messages from a specific address, however I would not recommend doing that as the … [View More]

How to get Sender Id from the Mailing List where the annoymous option is set
by vijayan p May 4, 2005

May 4, 2005

Hi, I am the list administrator for a mailing list running mailman 2.1.3 with python. My list is set as anonynmous list. So I cannot find the senders email id. I donot want to change the settings to non annoymous, as this will discourage people from posting to the group. Can anyone tell me how to obtain the statistics of which member has posted how many messages. Also is there a way to know who has posted a particular mail. Regards, vijay __________________________________ Do you … [View More]
