April 24, 2009

I suspect my bounce settings.. it's set as follows: - The maximum member bounce score before the member's subscription is disabled : 5.0 - The number of days after which a member's bounce information is discarded, … [View More]

If I Telnet directly to Mailman with a bogus list name, I get the same result. >>> Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> 4/24/2009 10:32 AM >>> Jeff Bernier wrote: >Sorry...

mail to non-existing list - Part two
by Jeff Bernier April 24, 2009

April 24, 2009

Sorry... I just wish to clarify... the message gets put in the moderator request queue in my "Mailman" list. Hello all, If someone posts a message to a list that does not exist in my Mailman system, the message goes to the pending moderator requests queue, and the sender gets a notice indicating their message is being held for moderator approval with the reason: "Message has implicit destination" My questions are... Why is it being held if the list does not exist? Can I alter the behavior … [View More]

The patch is to module Charset.py. I was looking for that in my 2.1.12 directories, and I cannot find it. In comparing my 2.1.11 directories with my 2.1.12 directories I find the "problem". These directories are where I built my Ubuntu packages from the SourceForge source. In build_mailman_2.1.11/mailman-2.1.11/misc/Makefile.in I have EMAILPKG= email-2.5.8 JACODECSPKG= JapaneseCodecs-1.4.11 KOCODECSPKG= KoreanCodecs-2.0.5 and I have the same in Makefile.in . But in build_mailman_2.1.12/mailman-2.1.12/misc/Makefile.in I have EMAILPKG= @EMAILPKG@ JACODECSPKG= JapaneseCodecs-1.4.11 KOCODECSPKG= KoreanCodecs-2.0.5 and in Makefile.in EMAILPKG= JACODECSPKG= JapaneseCodecs-1.4.11 KOCODECSPKG= KoreanCodecs-2.0.5 As a result, I have in the misc directory for 2.1.12 email-2.5.8.tar.gz and that tarball was not untarred, so I do not have Charset.py . In the build process output for 2.1.11 I see for p in email-2.5.8 JapaneseCodecs-1.4.11 KoreanCodecs-2.0.5; \ do \ gunzip -c ./$p.tar.gz | (cd . ; tar xf -); \ ... and for 2.1.12 I see for p in JapaneseCodecs-1.4.11 KoreanCodecs-2.0.5; \ do \ gunzip -c ./$p.tar.gz | (cd . ; tar xf -); \ ... In the 2.1.12 configure I see # Should we rely on Python's own email package or use the pre-packaged version? if test "$needemailpkg" = "ok" then EMAILPKG="" else EMAILPKG=email-2.5.8 fi echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: $needemailpkg" >&5 echo "${ECHO_T}$needemailpkg" >&6 and in the build output I see checking Python version... 2.4.3 checking Python's email package... ok I am confused. Is the 2.1.12 build using the Python-supplied e-mail library, and thus the patch to Charset.py has to be made there? Or do I have to specify something to get the Mailman-supplied e-mail package untarred? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry S.

Want posts from mylist to mylist to be held
by Donna Dierker April 22, 2009

April 22, 2009

Hi mailman experts, My mailman list 'mylist' has non-member posts set to be rejected. This has done an excellent job of preventing spam in the past. Recently, a spam message was successfully posted to mylist. The "From" field showed mylist(a)myserver.edu (i.e., the same address that one uses when posting *to* mylist). Looking in the list of subscribers, I don't see 'mylist' as a member. And typically posts do not come from the list; rather, they are just posted *to* the list *from* an … [View More]

Setting Password reminder problem
by Gary Elsner April 22, 2009

April 22, 2009

I have 2 mail lists and in General Options set both lists to NO on "Sending monthly password reminders". All new subscribers are still set to YES when they join. The mailman is provided by my host company and lists are managed through cPanel. The hosting company was able to replicate the issue. It is Mailman version 2.1.10 Gary gelsner(a)juno.com ____________________________________________________________ Always a good call.
