Changing the port number used to when you need to approve messages
by Glenn Magle Oct. 22, 2009

Can you tell me where to look to change the port # of the web link to approve messages. We have some lists using port 8080 and they will not work, all ports without this are fine.

phantom bounces
by Michael Shulman Oct. 22, 2009

Oct. 22, 2009

Hi, I am having a strange problem. One of my users is repeatedly being automatically unsubscribed from a mailing list, supposedly due to the receipt of too many bounces from his (working) email address. The list is configured to notify me when bounces trigger a disabling or unsubscription, but I didn't receive any such notification. I see in the "bounce" log a record of many received bounces from his address, although most of the time there was no email sent to the list at that time to … [View More]

Help with removing my messages

Dear MailMan, Before I knew that my name would be published on the web, I wrote about six messages on a genealogy list. I need to have them removed due to safety concerns. The list administrator has not been able to do this. May I please ask you for your help? Thank you, Jan Peters

message bounce from good addresses
by Rik Pierce Oct. 22, 2009

Oct. 22, 2009

Is this a place to ask for help with Mailman? If not, please point me in the right direction We have 3 mail lists. The big one is a Notify list in which people sign up to get information about events. A smaller one is our members who we enroll to send our newsletter and members info to. I include the members in with the notify list by mass subscribing them. Mailman weeds out the duplicates and we are left with one large Notify list that contain those who signed themselves and members who we … [View More]

hepl with python syntax, etc.
by marisa＠umn.edu Oct. 22, 2009

Oct. 22, 2009

Hello! I have three questions. I really will appreciate your help! As you will notice from the questions, I am dealing with spam mail from people who writes from "konwn" servers -- I already filter messages with heathers that show "spam" and "unknown". One of the major problems is some people that uses for the "from" address the name of the mailng list, so I like to be able to filter messages by individual names as well. 1) What is the expression that I should use for: "List of non-member … [View More]

OK, but the domain isn't "unique.name" - that is the username. The domain is uleth.ca. And when I think about it, the dot couldn't be messing up my regexp because it just means "a single character" so unique.name and unique\.name would … [View More]

regexp help
by Savoy, Jim Oct. 21, 2009

Oct. 21, 2009

Hi all - I am trying to have all of the mail sent to a certain email account automatically forwarded to a moderated mailing list (moderated to everyone accept the mail from this particular email account). So I created the account (we'll call it unique.name(a)some.domain) and set up the mailing list (we'll call it abc-l(a)some.domain). The only way I can think of getting the mailing list to accept the forwarded mail is to use the spam filters under [Privacy Options]. I create a new Spam … [View More]

basic set-up question regarding gnu mailman
by Thomas Reale Oct. 21, 2009

Oct. 21, 2009

To whom it may concern, I am about to begin the installation process for gnu mailman. I'm learning some Python for this very purpose, but I seem to be getting hung up on some of the jargon, and I believe I might be intuitively inept at a starting point. I have two questions: 1) Does the installation need to occur on an always-turned-on computer? 2) Will others be able to manage the list remotely via the web (I know that I can access any other Linux-based machine remotely)? I think the … [View More]

>Jim, try from: .*(a)(?!.*uleth.ca) The 'anything before the @ sign' is obvious, but the '?!.*' is to test for possible machine names, in case they're there. Nope. That failed. I added a "\n" to the front of this and that failed as well. I didn't think I would have to make any accommodations for the "machine names" though because I have given this account a very unique name, so my goal here is just to accept the mail if that unique.name is found in any header at all. This is why I was … [View More]

Sorry to break the thread on this (my previous message didn't go through, so I guess this list is being moderated now). Anyway, just wanted to say that I fixed my regexp problem. I am running an older version of Mailman, so tried this instead: \nfrom:.*unique.name and it worked! - jim - -
