subscribe a list to a list

Hi, What would be the surprising effects if I subscribe a list to a list? It's just a customer whish, and I never did it and wonder what could happen... -- Chef de projet chez Vectoris http://www.google.com/search?q=mihamina+rakotomandimby

Here's what you could do. It's not "spoof proof", but it will accomplish what you want I think. Instead of putting the UMBRELLA-bounces address in accept_these_nonmembers of the sub-lists, make that address a member with delivery and password reminders off and unmoderated. Then put SENDER_HEADERS = (… [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] non-subscriber managed to post to a subscriberonly list
by Russell Clemings Jan. 26, 2009

A low-tech fix I've used is to set "max_num_recipients" to a really low number, like 2 or 3. Anything more than that, and the post gets held for approval. Virtually every time I've seen a spam post that spoofs a member's email address, it's had more than a couple of recipients. rac > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Steve Lindemann <steve(a)marmot.org> > To: mailman-users(a)python.org > Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2009 15:26:53 -0700 > Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] … [View More]

It first determines if the post is from a member, and if so, if the member is … [View More]

I have a sublist of an umbrella list. A message from one of the subscribers to the sublist is being held for moderation despite being approved for the umbrella list... any quick fixes? This is mailman-2.1.10. Thanks! Rich

Changing the email address of a list

Jan. 22, 2009

Hello, I have successfully moved my mailman lists to a new server, thanks to lots of documentation and help from people on the list. I have one small change I want to make, and wanted to get some advice before breaking it. My virtual-mailman file has entries like this: mylistname_which_is_really_long(a)mydomain.net mylistname_which_is_really_long mylistname_which_is_really_long-admin(a)mydomain.net mylistname_which_is_really_long-admin mylistname_which_is_really_long-bounces(a)… [View More]

Mailman and SME
by Tim Ferguson Jan. 22, 2009

Jan. 22, 2009

I've been attempting to install Mailman on a SME server that I created yesterday but am failing miserably. For instance, I cannot create a group AND user using "mailman" as per the documentation. I also cannot expand the mailman file. Is there any documentation on using Mailman on SME, or is a different flavor of Linux recommended? Any and all help would be appreciated. I've worked with SME for several years now, but appear to be out in left field on this one. Thanks, Tim Tim … [View More]

initial hostname
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby (R12y) Jan. 22, 2009

Jan. 22, 2009

Hi, I have a box named "phenom" on which I created a mailing list, beeeing root, via "newlist". A while after that, I changed the hostname of the box to the current one:"lab.vectoris.fr" and changed the malman config too. But now, when I look into the MTA/SMTP logs (Exim of my ISP, as smarthost), I see that an email is sent as root@phenom and is unrouteable by the MTA (obvious, he doesnt know about "phenom"). What should I hack into Mailman to get rid of that "@phenom" sending?
