List Suddenly Moderated
by mcnutt Feb. 24, 2006

Feb. 24, 2006

One of my list owners is complaining that her list is suddenly requiring her to approve all postings to the list. I can't find any place where it says the list is moderated. Can anyone suggest where I ought to be looking? Bill McNutt IT Administrator, UT Center for Literacy Studies http://cls.coe.utk.edu

Protecting Administrators
by David Andrews Feb. 23, 2006

Feb. 23, 2006

I run about 80 lists via Mailman. My ISP uses a spam filtering program called PostIni. All mail goes through it, even though individual users may turn it off -- which I have. Apparently, things can happen that cause PostIni to block mail to a user, it seems to happen at times of heavy spam, but the ISP doesn't seem to know much more, and they say the Postini folks won't talk about it, they consider it to be proprietary info. Anyway, this is a long way to say that even though I am … [View More]

It probably is in the FAQ.

Mailman attempts to inline attachments of MIME type text/plain
by jeffd17 Feb. 23, 2006

Feb. 23, 2006

Is there a way to allow attachments of text/plain without them being added inline in the message post? Would it be possible to have the mailman archive split out the attachment and, for each message, provide a separate link to download the attachment as a separate file? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Mailman-attempts-to-inline-attachments-of-MIME-type-t… Sent from the Mailman - Users forum at Nabble.com.

Mailman stripping the reply to quotes
by kannan.ekanath＠gmail.com Feb. 23, 2006

Feb. 23, 2006

Hi, I am using mailman I notice that when a mail comes to a user who is a part of a list and he replies almost all mail clients do a bottom quote / top quote. Although this is fine, from the mail client perspective, i would like Mailman to strip this bottom/top quote when sending emails. This is because am causing mailman emails to put in a common forum and hence when the bottom quote appears again and again it becomes very repetitive. Is there an option in mailman where we can stript just … [View More]

Feb. 23, 2006

Hi, I am using MailMan 1.0.1. Whenever a mail arrives, i want to execute a script this is in relation to the integration with mail2forum software. The document says, " Then add the following line to the .forward file of your mailing list's account: |/path/to/m2f/m2f_import_msgs.sh " I am not sure what exactly is meant by this .forward file. I tried putting the alias in the /etc/aliases file but it doesnot seem to archive. Can someone tell me as to where exactly this aforementioned .forward … [View More]

email problems
by patrick siglin Feb. 23, 2006

Feb. 23, 2006

ok I have my exchange server and another email server on the inside "bbs.memphistw.org" I can recieve mail on the bbs.memphistw.org but can not seem to get mail on "memphistw.org". Mail posts fine and every other user gets the email including the bbs.memphistw.org server. I do get emails from mailman about join requests and the welcome message but that is all. Any ideas? No spam blocker on the server so that shouldn't be it.

Displaying message sender
by Matthew Thompson Feb. 23, 2006

Feb. 23, 2006

I have a mailing list with users subscribed from two particular domains, call them nice.com and naughty.com. The security czars are naughty.com have decided that inbound email with naughty.com in the From address cannot possibly be legitimate so they silently drop the mail. The result of this is when users from nice.com send email to the list, everyone gets the message just fine. However, when someone from naughty.com sends a message, only users at nice.com get the message. One way around … [View More]

emailaddr variable in newlist.txt file
by Christopher Adams Feb. 23, 2006

Feb. 23, 2006

I have been tinkering with this problem for a long time. At one time, I got some assistance from Mark Sapiro, but I was not able to resolve the problem. The newlist.txt file has the variable %(emailaddr)s. When a new list is created, the message that is sent to the list owner includes the literal text %(emailaddr)s, rather than the actual list address. I would have thought that this would work by default after installation, but it does not. -- Christopher Adams Library Systems … [View More]
