Can email notification of approval be done?
by Paul Key Feb. 28, 2007

Feb. 28, 2007

Hi When a user posts to a moderated list and the list admin rejects their post they get an email to tell them their post has been rejected. What I want to do is when a poster to a moderated list is approved - they are sent an email by mailman telling them about the approval AND it would be nice if a third party could be cc'd this email at the same time. Can approval notification by email be done by mailman (in the same way it is done automatically for rejections)? Thanks Paul

Subscribe command doesn't check for spam?
by Martin Hagelin Feb. 27, 2007

Feb. 27, 2007

Hi, I'm using Mailman v. 2.1.9 on a Debian Linux platform. I'm running Exim4 as the MTA with spamassassin doing spam checking when messages are recived in Exim (Exiscan-acl). I've set up spam filtering rules in Mailman that will throw away messages that match ^X-Spam: YES in the headers. This works fine with most of the spam but messages that are sent to the *-subscribe address are accepted and not rejected. This means that mailman sends out confirmation requests to the spammers mail address,… [View More]

line breaks
by Sean Feb. 26, 2007

Feb. 26, 2007

This is probably an old topic to this list but I'm at a loss of how to explain the issue to some my mailman list users. Basically, they report messages coming through the list with odd line breaks. For example: This is the text of their message. After it is received from the list it places a line break so that some lines only contain one word and a new line starts. They feel it is the list doing this as they report the message looks fine when they send it to themselves. As I … [View More]

list member address change by moderator
by vancleef＠lostwells.net Feb. 24, 2007

Feb. 24, 2007

Is there a mechanism for a list administrator to change a list member address without going through the confirmation dialog. I've got a case where listmember(a)bellyup.com wants to become listmember(a)newisp.com. While the confirmation goes to newisp.com and requires the listmember response, I'd prefer to have a "just do it now" administrator method. Is there one? Hank

Are there spam issues with >the concept of sending a rejection email? Yes. I send spam to your list spoofing joe(a)example.com as the sender. You send a reject message to joe(a)example.com which has my original spam attached. Poor joe receives my spam from you - not a good thing.

Auto-reject non-member messages?
by Mike Starr Feb. 24, 2007

Feb. 24, 2007

I just took over administering a list and get a few spam messages to the list from non-members. I looked at the available information and couldn't figure out how to set the list admin controls to automatically reject any message to the list from a non-member. We're a small group with a tightly controlled membership so it won't be a problem to just blanket reject messages from non-subscribers. Thanks for your help. Mike -- Mike Starr Technical writer

message delivered to list but altered for some
by Michael Rainey Feb. 23, 2007

Feb. 23, 2007

A message is delivered to all list members, but some members get full message, while some a very abbreviated message with much of message not included. (There are many links in message but this has not been an issue previously.) I cannot now ascertain how many recipients fall into each category. I assume those who get only part of message may have something in common on their end, but it seems to be a quite significant number and I cannot identify. Is there anything on my admin or … [View More]
