Personalized Digests
by Mark J Bradakis Nov. 11, 2009

Nov. 11, 2009

Speaking of brain dead AOL cretins, is there any way to get some sort of personalization in digests that are sent out? I've got a few lists where some clueless AOL dimwit getting digests is marking the mail as abuse. I would love to simply remove them from the list, but thanks to the policies AOL has set forth, I have no way of finding out who they are. mjb.

Interesting "Bug in Mailman version 2.1.12"
by Tomasz Chmielewski Nov. 11, 2009

Nov. 11, 2009

Today, I had an interesting "bug or a feature" in Mailman, which took me some time to fix. I have a Mailman 2.1.12 which was running fine for months on a virtual host. I did some low level kernel "experiments", and the virtual guest started to malfunction. So, back to the original state - unfortunately Mailman interface didn't work anymore. It exited with "Bug in Mailman version 2.1.12". Webserver nor Mailman logs didn't give me a clue. I browsed Mailman installation files; lists/*/… [View More]

Fake Email
by Hien HUYNH HUU Nov. 11, 2009

Nov. 11, 2009

Dear all, I recognize that mailman can accept a fake sender . Example, I have a maillist with only an email account (xyz(a)abc.com) can send messages to all emails in the list. But , if someone can send a fake "From address" is xyz(a)abc.com, mailman will delivery messages to the list . This is a security problem. Can we prevent this from happening ? Best regards, Huu Hien
