list automatically removing users
by Lawrence Bowie July 21, 2006

July 21, 2006

I do not have bounce processing enabled but yet one morning I have a list of about 15 users unsubscribed from the list. According to logs, they all look like this, someone(a)example.com auto-unsubscribed [reason: BYBOUNCE] This obviously says it was removed because of some measure of bounces were exceeded. But once again, I do not have bounce processing enabled. Any explanation would be nice .. Thanks, LDB

customising: from listname-bounce@domain on behalf of poster@theirdomain
by John Clement July 21, 2006

July 21, 2006

I've setup mailman with qmail, using lists.domain.com so it works, then setup aliases for lists so we can still have ourlist(a)domain.com rather than ourlist(a)lists.domain.com, I've also added this to mailman's config so itss happy accepting posts to domain.com. The only problem I have now is when a member receives a post they receive it as [listname] listname(a)domain.com list posting. listname-bounce(a)lists.domain.com on behalf of (orig poster) I'd like to change listname-bounce(a)… [View More]

Question about topics
by FH July 20, 2006

July 20, 2006

I'm trying to figure out how the topic feature works. We have an expression in the regexp box (ie Foo[1]) and the body lines variable is set to 0 since the expression should be in the subject line. However everyone on the list is still receiving the messages sent w/ "Subject: Foo". The filter is enabled, the person who is subscribed to the topic also has "yes" on the "Do you want to receive messages that do not match any topic filter?", everyone else (who is not subscribed to the topic) has "… [View More]

Customizing Mailman Messages
by Karl Zander July 20, 2006

July 20, 2006

We are interesting in customizing some of the messages Mailman generates back to members. We would like to customize the message a non-member gets if they try to post. The FAQ talks about how to customize a welcome message for an announcement list. http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#3.11 Can I use the same technique, but modify the approve.txt file? Is it possible to customize the message on the monthly password reminder? We would like to send not only the password but … [View More]

stange domain/url question
by Anne Ramey July 20, 2006

July 20, 2006

Not too long ago, we switched out domain from wwwadm.mydomain.com to lists.mydomain.com. I used fix-url on all the lists, and when we create all lists now, we create then as ./newlist listname(a)lists.mydomain.com But when the email is sent to the administrator for these new lists it has wwwadm.mydomain.com referenced in it: There is also an email-based interface for users (not administrators) of your list; you can get info about using it by sending a message with just the word `help' as … [View More]

incorrect archive time (daylight savings)
by Chris McKeever July 20, 2006

July 20, 2006

Only found one past entry for this in the archives/google, but unfortunately no answer/resolution. When an email comes into the list and it gets archived, it is gettings timestamped as CDT as opposed to CST, which then causes the archive to be offset by that hour difference. Is this intended behaviour, or a fixable issue? Thanks - Chris -- ---------------------------------- please respond to the list .. if you need to contact me direct cgmckeever is the account prupref.com is the domain … [View More]

July 20, 2006

Mailman version: 2.1.7.cp2 Operating System: Linux Apache version 1.3.36 (unix) I was trying to edit the welcome message subscribers receive upon confirming subscription to a newsletter mailing list for my client.

That's when I received the *bug* message: * * * * * Bug in Mailman version 2.1.7.… [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Trying to tighten up my security...
by Jon D. Slater July 20, 2006

Okay... Next hitch... I installed the patch, and tested it (by trying to send an e-mail to the group from an e-mail that I knew wasn't in the group). It was rejected (as expected). I just had an e-mail get through from a non-member! The e-mail is from: "Bernardo Spicer" <BernardoSpicer(a)1000000000.com> Who is definitely *not* on any of my lists. The group sender filter is set to 'Reject' postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined.

rejecting spam disables local subscribers on remote lists

We recently implemented a policy such that any incoming message that scores higher than 10 with SpamAssassin is rejected at our MX servers with: 550 5.7.0 message not delivered due to suspect content We've discovered that this policy has interaction problems with recipients at our site who are subscribed to external mailing lists. Here's what happens: 1. Someone at our site is subscribed to a random Mailman mailing list on the Internet. 2. The owners of the mailing … [View More]
