Exclude DSN From Bounce Processing
by Tim German 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Is it possible to exclude a certain DSN status code from bounce processing? I would like for all 5.2.2 (mailbox full) bounces to be ignored. I do not want them counted as soft or hard bounces. I just want them ignored with no change to the members bounce score. I am currently running v2.1.9. -Tim

Mailman and virtual domains...
by Grant Taylor 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Is it possible to have (a single instance of) Mailman installed and accessed by different domain names such that each domain sees a different set of mailing lists? I.e. example.com has the following lists comlist1 comlist2 example.net has the following lists netlist1 netlist2 example.org has the following lists orglist1 orglist2 I would like the Mailman interface on each domain (http://maillists.example.(com|net|org)/mailman/listinfo) to only show the lists appropriate for the domain. Is this possible? Grant. . . .

need to change addresses in bulk
by Gruver, Sandi 13 Jul '09

I need to change all addresses on 100 lists from @xxx.ctc.edu to @xxx.edu; Can you suggest the least complicated, fastest way to do so? >From the archives I see someone used the withlist command and then created a loop to go through all lists, but is there one command to take care of this? Thank you, Sandi Gruver Unix System Administrator SBCTC-IT Bellevue, WA 98004 425.803.9753 fax 425.803.9752 sgruver(a)cis.ctc.edu

I was wondering if I can create a mailing list, I'm a Computer Science graduate from the American University in Cairo, and my objective of my mailing list is to help people living in around Egypt, especially foreigners to find their way around the country and ask any questions they need. If not possible, are their servers than can host public mailing lists? -- Best Regards, Hisham ElHifnawi

Special characters in the subject line deleted
by Malte Gersch 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Hi all, we are using mailman 2.1.12 and postfix on our own server and we are currently having some issues with special characters in the "subject" line. When I send a mail with the test subject "Umlauteäuüö" to a list, procmail delivers the mail to mailman with the header line "Subject: =?iso-8859-1?B?VW1sYXV0ZeR1/PY=?=". The mail from mailman to the list-subscribers has the subject "[Testlisteäü]Umlauteu". i.e. the special characters are missing and the space after "]" is missing, too. The header line is "Subject: =?utf-8?b?W1Rlc3RsaXN0ZcOkw7xd?= =?iso-8859-1?q?Umlaute=E4u=FC=F6?=" Does anybody have ideas where this could come from? Thanks! Malte

E-Mails are not getting sent
by Louis Zook 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

When someone tries to use the self registration page and/or the email subscribe function. They never receive a confirmation e-mail. Also, the server shows the e-mail subscribtion requests as being delivered. And when you manually subscribe someone and tell it to send the confirmation, it still won't do it.. HELP?

Spam filters and non-member posts
by Daniel D Jones 12 Jul '09

12 Jul '09

I've been running a private list for several years with Mailman configured to reject posts from non-members without any issues. Recently, however, I've been getting spam with forged headers which purports to be from me. Since I'm a member of the list, they're allowed through. To deal with this, I added some regex's to look for the SpamAssassin spam headers and to hold any message that appears to be spam. This is working except that I'm now getting a ton of holds because Mailman appears to be checking the spam rules before it checks the sender rule. I'd like all posts from non-members discarded and posts from members to be spam checked and held if they appear to be spam. Is this possible without hacking the source code?
