Automated moderation

Hello, I have a difficult problem. (Maybe not for you) Every day we do an import and a member_sync for a couple of lists. # Postings from any of these non-members will be automatically accepted # with no further moderation applied. Add member addresses one per # line; start the line with a ^ character to designate a regular # expression match. accept_these_nonmembers = We have lists where people has to mail to, and which they are a member of. So the [Privacy-options, … [View More]

Newbie spam filter (regex) question
by Jason LaMar Feb. 21, 2008

Feb. 21, 2008

OK, forgive my ignorance, but I'm trying to add a Spam Filter rule that allows postings from a specific e-mail address -- as an exception to our normal filtering rules. It hasn't worked thus far, so what would be the proper (best) 'Spam Filter Regexp' entry to accept any messages from this example address: some.person.name(a)gmail.com I know this should be easy and that I'm just missing something silly, so any quick help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jason _________________________ … [View More]

Mailman not sending mail to list members
by Dave Filchak Feb. 21, 2008

Feb. 21, 2008

Hello, I am running Mailman version 2.1.6 and recently had to move my servers from one data center to another. This necessitated a change of IPs. Since the move, Mailman has refused to send out posts from my lists. Mail gets to the host and is redirected through aliases to the proper location, but then seemingly disappears. To be truthful, mail from the test list does show up very sporadically, sometimes hours later. But ... 90% of the time .. nothing happens. I am also running" Linux … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Need ability to allow emails with specificsubject line
by Savoy, Melinda Feb. 20, 2008

Feb. 20, 2008

Well I found a workaround for my problem. I used in the CGIEmail, as was suggested yesterday, to just use an email address in the FROM line of my CGI form file that was accepted by the email list and it worked famously. I don't know why I had not thought of that but I appreciate the insight and direction that was given. Thanks so much for all the help and the responses. Jason, thanks for all your help and the code that you gave. I may be using it in the future. Thanks so much. Regards.… [View More]

Allowing posting to list "A" by members of list "B"?
by Beau James Feb. 20, 2008

Feb. 20, 2008

We sometimes have related but distinct mailing lists, e.g. one for coaches and one for referees in the same league. Both lists are moderated. We'd like to turn on the flag to allow postings (still moderated) only by members of the list. For the usual reason: SPAMmers are overwhelming the volunteer list moderators. At the same time, we'd like to allow member of the related list still to be able to post (postings still to be moderated). That is, we'd like the members of list "A" to be … [View More]
