Mailman 3 May 2008 - Mailman-Users

A cluster issue I didn't find in the faq, or on google

Mailman: 2.1.10 Python: 2.5.2 Debian: Sid (unstable) Linux: 2.6.25.3 I've got a small cluster of machines doing smtp/web/etc. The storage is NFSv3, moving to NFSv4 as soon as I get a few more Kerberos issues squared away. To enable Mailman, I symlinked mailman/archives and mailman/lists to a NFS directory (thus keeping the queues local to each machine). Most of this works just fine, any of the machines accept posts and even the mail->(single machine for the nonce) news gateway is … [View More]

content filtering and blank messages (again)
by Russell Clemings May 17, 2008

May 17, 2008

(Following up) The problem and the workaround appear to be the same as this: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.022.htp The system in this case is running CPanel 11.18.6 on CentOS 4.6. The only difference from the symptoms discussed in the FAQ is that the messages sent out by Mailman after filtering were blank, whereas the case in the FAQ had a "permission denied" error. Thanks to Mark Sapiro for ruling out other causes and pointing to this solution. rac … [View More]ORIGINAL MESSAGE: I've search the archives and I must be missing something, so if this is a stupid question I apologize. But I'm having endless trouble getting Mailman to convert messages sent as HTML only into plain text. It's sending an empty message. The fixes discussed in past threads on this subject aren't working -- or else I'm not implementing them correctly. What follows are the content filtering settings, followed by a cc of a test message I sent to the list as HTML only, followed by what Mailman sent out after content filtering. The latter has no message body except the standard footer. I disguised all of the emails and other identifying information but I hope it's still understandable. Thanks in advance for any help. rac --- CONTENT FILTERING SETTINGS: Should Mailman filter the content of list traffic according to the settings below? Yes Remove message attachments that have a matching content type. (Blank) Remove message attachments that don't have a matching content type. Leave this field blank to skip this filter test. text multipart/mixed multipart/alternative multipart/related message/rfc822 text/html text/plain Remove message attachments that have a matching filename extension. (Blank) Remove message attachments that don't have a matching filename extension. Leave this field blank to skip this filter test. (Blank) Should Mailman collapse multipart/alternative to its first part content? Yes Should Mailman convert text/html parts to plain text? This conversion happens after MIME attachments have been stripped. Yes Action to take when a message matches the content filtering rules.

Porting Issues
by Bill Tenny-Brittian May 17, 2008

May 17, 2008

Greetings. We're running mailman 2.1.9.cp2 on a Linux server. We set up with PeertoPeer.net to filter our spam, which had become unmanageable. Because some spammers were sending directly to our IP, we changed the MX settings to go directly to PeerToPeer rather than through cPanel (mx). In addition, we changed our firewall smtp from 25. It worked great and spam dropped to virtually zero, but all our mailing lists stopped working. They weren't caught in our spam trap (we can see what's … [View More]

May 16, 2008

Dear users, I try to get to run mailman & postfix now on a private server. With mailman everything seems to be ok, well at least I don`t get any error messages after bin/check_perms -f and can`t see any errors in /usr/local/mailman/logs/* again I can create list and subscribe to them. But if I sent a mail to the new list nothing is delivered.

by Kai Behncke May 16, 2008

Join Email Notification Template Question
by Bill Honneus (honneus) May 15, 2008

May 15, 2008

Hi, The following below is the email I get when I join my 'Test' mailing list that I created from my mailman installation. Since I don't want my users to click on a link to confirm, what I would like to do is remove the link below so that the emails that go out to my users don't include the hyperlink (or supporting text of 'Or visit this web page') as an option. Is there a template that I could modify to achieve this or do I need to change a Python script somewhere? Thanks much! Bill *… [View More]
