How to configure a list for invitation-only subscriptions?
by Carter Braxton May 17, 2007

May 17, 2007

How can I configure an existing mailing list to be invitation-only? (That is, disabling the ability for the general public to sign up via the web or email interfaces unless an invitation is received first.) I must be missing something as I'm sure this is a very common requirement, but have not seen anything obvious in the list's options, mailman docs, or google searches.

detecting administrivia requests in "bounces"
by James Dinkel May 17, 2007

May 17, 2007

For some reason, my users like to send emails to listname-bounces(a)listserver.com. I guess maybe because that is what is in the From: address on emails they recieve. Anyway, they will be emails with a single request in them like "help" or "subscribe" but they dome to me because the bounce filter couldn't filter them out. Is there anyway to have these checked for Administrivia?

May 17, 2007

mm_cfg.py IS still there and is correct. Sorry...long day. Michael Rainey __________________________ After months of successful use of Mailman 2.1.5 for several lists, my hosting company "accidentally" unistalled Mailman. The have since "reinstalled" it, and it looks like all necessary files in var are there etc. However no messages are apparently received (a moderated list---never shows a pending moderator request), nor sent (no notifications to administrator or mail delivered to … [View More]

May 17, 2007

Thanks. I have all those settings to "Yes", isn't that the way it should be? The first setting is about bounce messages that failed to be detected... but what about regular bounces that are properly detected?

I know you asked for paid consulting on this sort of thing, but I don't have the time to do that, and so far as I know, neither do any of the other principal people involved in developing or supporting Mailman.

May 17, 2007

I would like to remove the reference to creating new lists that is included in the admin page. I have looked in the Templates folder and in the Mailman folder, but haven't been able to find where that is included. -- Christopher Adams adamsca(a)gmail.com
