Lost emails

My list to about 500 people stopped working for some reason. Messages go in, get moderated but never reach the light of day. I read about an unshunt command which a programmer who doesn't know mailman used to no avail. I really need a person who can help me fix this issue. The programmer that originally installed Mailman cannot be found. Please contact me at 516-767-8182. Thanks. Mitch Tobol

member_posting_only -setting in Mailman 2.1.5
by Ari Moisio Oct. 13, 2006

Oct. 13, 2006

Hi! I have searched all list configuration but cannnot find how to disable member_posting_only-feature with web interface. I have several mailing lists with memebers sometimes mailing from some other address they are subscribed. I have manually accepted each message but would like to permanently enable these senders addresses. However i could not find any setting to allow postings from non-subscribed addresses. Is this functionality available via web interface? -- arimo

Customizing message to large moderation email
by Knight, Eric Sean Oct. 12, 2006

Oct. 12, 2006

We are going to start limiting the size some of our internal mailing lists and would like to customize the message that is sent to the poster to include the number of our helpdesk if their message is to large. Where is this text stored?

I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I have nothing set >in "content filtering" assuming that would mean that nothing is filtered. That is correct. Even better, set filter_content to No if that's what you want and no content filtering will be done at all regardless of the other settings. In any case, if the attachment is sent in list mail, content filtering didn't remove it and has no further effect on the archive. >If that is not how to make it so that I can save a copy of the attachment in >the archive, what do I need to do? I'm not sure where the above message fits in this partially off list thread, but here's a summary of what's happening. Based on your off list message (copied in my reply at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-October/053829.html>), the attachment is archived and its location in the archive is included in the archived message. See my reply for more. If you are expecting to see the PDF attachment 'inline' in the archive, pipermail doesn't attempt to do that, and in fact, it can't be done at all in a browser independent way. In another recent thread <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-October/053639.html> I wrote <quote> Pipermail does not have the ability to archive Multipart messages at all, not to mention the ability to convert a PDF attachment to HTML so it could be viewed inline in the archive. Thus, all messages must be 'scrubbed' before archiving. Scrubbing consists of saving all non-plain text attachments and plain text parts with incompatible character sets separately in the 'attachments' directory and replacing them with hyperlinks in the original message and flattening the original into a single plain text message for the archive. </quote> -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

EnsimPro and Mailman
by Shaunna Prentice Oct. 12, 2006

Oct. 12, 2006

Hi, I have followed the instructions at: http://forum.ev1servers.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43004 I have a server running Fedora and Ensim Pro 4.0.3-22. Everything has been working except when someone wants to subscribe. About every other time it comes up with an Internal Server Error. Error log shows the premature script headers: subscribe with the referring url that of the list. Interestingly enough the confirmation email goes out anyway so it must be in the display of the confirmation message only. I followed that how-to line by line. I was wondering if anyone else on Ensim has run into this before. Thanks a bunch! Megan

Mailman Scrubbing archived attachments
by katie1＠mardiweb.com Oct. 12, 2006

I would like to set Mailman up so that it preserves attachments to messages in the archives. I have been totally unsuccessful in doing this. I have set it to scrubb all attachments except a certain type and I have set it to not scrubb any attachments. Nothing works. The user gets the attachment, but it is not preserved in the archive.

Please include the list in replies.

Content filtering causes attachments of various types to be removed before delivery/digesting/archiving. It will remove attachments from all messages, but it won't affect how attachments that are not removed are archived. >Nothing works.

That is exactly what is happening. The message has been archived and the PDF attachment has been removed and stored separately in the archive and a link to the PDF attachment is included in the archived message. It should say (where example.com is your actual web host) Url : http://example.com/pipermail/coholist_cohousing-corvallis.com/attachments/2… If the 'http://example.com' is truly missing from the archived message and not just omitted in your email above, then the PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL setting is misconfigured in the Mailman installation -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
