Well, the actual emails carrying the URLs wouldn't be from the same domains, so I couldn't use GNU Mailman to catch those emails by the headers. If by "spam filter" you … [View More]

Is it possible that a list loses its members?
by Sebastian Hagedorn May 20, 2008

May 20, 2008

Hi, we're running Mailman 2.1.9. Today I encountered something that's a mystery to me. A few weeks ago we created a list using our custom list-creation script that we always use. The list was apparently created correctly, like they always are. There were three initial list members and I can see them being added in /var/log/mailman/subscribe. Our script adds members using the add_members tool. Every Saturday we run a cronjob that looks for empty lists, i.e. lists with no members. The … [View More]

Obscuring Email Addresses In The Archive
by Steve May 20, 2008

May 20, 2008

Hi; I'm running an email list that is on GNU Mailman 2.1.9.. In the distant past I have had trouble with disgruntled readers going into the archives to harvest email addresses so that they could rant to people off list. I don't want to shut innocent people out of the benefits of the archive. I was wondering if I could further obscure the email addresses in the archives. Perhaps removing everything after the "@" symbol? The GNU Mailman software is run for me on a server that I do not have … [View More]

Mailman Mail Queue
by Jesse Storry May 20, 2008

May 20, 2008

Hi there, I am using Mailman 2.1.9 on CentOS with qmail. We are also using qmail to run spamassassin spam filter. We are also trying to route all mail through our Exchange box, rather than directly through the machine that Mailman is running on. This complicates things. I have found a way to redirect mail from Exchange to the Mailman box, but now I need to know where to redirect the mail after it goes through the spam filtering process via spamassassin. What I am looking for is a folder … [View More]

May 19, 2008

hi guys, I recieve over 2000 messages from mailman-bounces every day with subject: Uncaught bounce notification.. and when opening any message it's nothing but another Spam Ad about pills or shoes or other stuff.. how can I stop these ADs from being sent to my Admin email? it's becoming a real pain as it takes forever to download to the inbox.. on the other hand, I don't want to disable the notification because sometimes it might be a bounce that mailman couldn't detect so I remove it … [View More]

The harm in ignoring legitimate unrecognized bounces is you keep mailing to a dead address. At best, this is a waste of bandwidth and other resources. At worst, it can get your server blacklisted. -- Mark Sapiro … [View More]
