Steven, J.A., others, Thank's for some good ideas re. spam management implementation. I do have one request.

by b19141＠anl.gov Dec. 19, 2008

Dec. 19, 2008

When I upgraded my test Ubuntu system from Mailman 2.1.9 to 2.1.11 I saw messages for each list: Updating mailing list: mailman Updating the held requests database. - updating old private mbox file looks like you have a really recent CVS installation... you're either one brave soul, or you already ran me - updating old public mbox file looks like you have a really recent CVS installation... you're either one brave soul, or you already ran me Fixing language … [View More]

Security consequences of adding www user to mailman group
by James Riendeau Dec. 19, 2008

Dec. 19, 2008

I need to run bin/add_member in our Mailman 2.1.11 list server installation from a cgi/perl script. Normally, it has to run as root. The easy solution was to add the www user to the mailman group. You can then: open(LISTSERVER, '|/usr/local/mailman/bin/add_members -r- '.$list_name); print LISTSERVER $email; close(LISTSERVER); My question is are there any security consequences from adding the Apache2 user to the mailman group I should be aware of. I don't want to inadvertently … [View More]

Strange address handling
by NFN Smith Dec. 19, 2008

Dec. 19, 2008

I run an installation of Mailman 2.1.9 installed from the Debian stable branch, and includes Sendmail 8.13.8, and have discovered some quirky handling of user addresses. On occasion, I've had users complain about sending multiple subscription request to a list's -join address, and never getting any response. This happened last week, and with a little checking of logs, I found that what happened is that for some reason, some outbound messages addressed to individual users are getting "-owner" … [View More]

Hi. I'm doing a tiny interface ih PHP for the subscribers of a mailing-list and so that they, through that, can: - subscribe; - unsubscribe; - change digest; ... I'm using the urls for the actions, and all seems working but they change the moderation status of the users. My question is what is the GET variable to change the moderation bit? Thanks, Alberto

eMailing a members only list from a known location with out verifying members.
by Grant Taylor Dec. 18, 2008

Dec. 18, 2008

Is it possible to post messages to a members only list with out Mailman validating the sender when posting with a known (specific to this purpose) method? Now for the back story. I am setting up a mailing list that is using a (Usenet) news to email gateway on the news server and having it send / post to a mailing list. I had the system set to accept messages from unknown senders (any one in the world can post to the news group(s)) but messages were still being moderated because Mailman … [View More]

Anomalies since upgrading to 2.1.11
by Lindsay Haisley Dec. 17, 2008

Dec. 17, 2008

I've run into a couple of problems mailman which I can't seem to track down through normal channels. These seem to have appeared at the same time that I upgraded to 2.1.11 from 2.1.9. The most serious problem is that list owners/moderators are no longer receiving notifications of pending subscription requests, possibly also moderation requests (I host few moderated lists). Settings haven't changed, and admin_immed_notify is set to Yes. The listname-owner@listhost address works OK, and email … [View More]
