personalization and limiting number of emails to MTA
by Zbigniew Szalbot Nov. 30, 2006

Nov. 30, 2006

Hello, Is it possible within Mailman 2.1.9 to limit the number of emails sent to an MTA responsible for delivery so that not all of them are passed on one connection? I have a mls with about 600 addresses and the list is set to full personalization (monthly anounce list). When I ran it for the first time yesterday I saw mailman delivering about half of the emails on one connection and probably second half after a slight pause. This pause may have been caused by my (old) machine not able … [View More]

It reportedly applies properly to 2.1.8.. I don't know if anyone's tried it against 2.1.9. If you're worried, just make a backup of everything before you patch it. - Patrick Bogen P.s., please keep all replies on-list On 11/30/06, Todd Seeleman <seeleman(a)gse.upenn.edu> wrote: > Hi Patrick, > > I looked at the patch and it doesn't specifically mention mailman 2.1.9. > Will the patch work for that version? > > Todd Seeleman > > Patrick Bogen wrote: > > … [View More]

Hi Patrick, Thanks for your reply. Yes the MTA is running on the mailman machine. No I have not changed the options SMTPHOST and SMTPPORT, they are still set to their default settings. SMTPHOST 'localhost' SMTPPORT '0'.

mm-handler setup, new domain
by David Abrahams Nov. 29, 2006

Nov. 29, 2006

I am trying to set up Mailman at boost-consulting.com, which uses Sendmail. The README states: mm-handler is only really useful when it mostly "owns" its mail domain So I am inclined to simply point a DNS record for lists.boost-consulting.com at the same IP address and go from there. Is there any reason that shouldn't work out peachily, and are there any pitfalls I need to watch out for? Thanks in advance, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

Using Mailman 2.1.9 as a list administrator. Trying to block posts with string "test" in the subject line but would like to automatically approve certain subjects with the same string, such as "testing engine components" - is this possible under either "Header Filter Rules" or "Bounce Matching Headers" in the Privacy Options/Spam Filters section?

Sending emails via Mailman Issue

Nov. 29, 2006

Hi All, I'm fairly new to mailman and have just recently installed it (version 2.1.9) on a Fedora 6 VM. The installation went well with no major issues. Though the problem I'm having at the moment is when every time mailman try's to send a message the following error appears in the smtp-failure log underneath the mailman logs directory. "Low level smtp error: (111, 'Connection refused') msgid:" I'm using sendmail as my mail server version 8.13.8 and my Python version is 2.4.4 As yet I have … [View More]

Mailman and (really) large lists
by Mathias Andre Nov. 29, 2006

Nov. 29, 2006

Hi everyone, The organisation I work for is in the process of migrating our currentmailing lists (using majordomo) to Mailman. In parallel of this migration we have been ask to set up a very large mailing list: between 15000 to 25000 users. This would be a moderated list (actually more like some kind of newsletter). I was wondering how well would mailman cope with such a large list. Has any of you done anything similar? I'm open to any suggestions and recommendations, would you recommend … [View More]
