My thoughts on mailman
by Mike Brown July 18, 2008

July 18, 2008

Now that I am up and running, I want to express my thoughts about the program. LOVE IT While it didn't seem that way, based upon all of the previous e-mail, the web interface to the mail list is top notch. The developers have done an excellent job. Thanks for a great mail list package. MB -- e-mail: vidiot(a)vidiot.com /~\ The ASCII [I've been to Earth. I know where it is. ] \ / Ribbon Campaign [And I'm gonna take us there.

Issue that Can cause mass spam for site admin
by Robert Campbell July 17, 2008

July 17, 2008

While testing my local install, one of my colleges found an exploit with the "forgot password" and "unsubscribe" option of the web UI and ended up spamming me ( on purpose to prove the pt), 90 emails to the list-owner in under 5 min as a different user ( mainly my test user), so this could be easily scripted. Has anyone else seen this issue, if so any suggestions on how to fix it?

Error During Attempt to Unsuscribe
by Dylan Jenkinson July 17, 2008

July 17, 2008

Hi, I have been trying to unsubscribe some people recently via an webpage of my creation. When I want to do the unsubscribe I use the following string: http://[server]/options/[list]/[email]?unsub=1&unsubconfirm=1&password=[pas… This works, but sends out an unsubscribe message which, for my purposes is unwanted. So I went on to use the following string to try to unsubscribe without the messages: http://[sever]/admin/[list]/members/remove?adminpw=[password]&unsubscribees… When … [View More]

Mailman stopped working
by Mark Wadham July 17, 2008

July 17, 2008

Hi, I've got a mailman installation that has apparently stopped working. If I post to a list, the post appears in the moderation queue, I then approve it and in the 'vette' log it shows the post being accepted, but it never gets delivered to any recipients and the MTA apparently never got the mail back from mailman. How can I debug this? Thanks, -- Mark Wadham System Administrator | Alentus UK Limited Tel: +44 (0)20 8315 5800 | http://www.alentus.co.uk/ -------------------------------------… [View More]
