Opt out footers as .txt attachments preventing CAN SPAM Act compliance
by Keith Jarvis Sept. 5, 2009

Sept. 5, 2009

Hello I'm part of a small nonprofit running Mailman version 2.1.9 and we have consistently found that most of our subscribers receive the footers where the opt out language is as .txt attachments and therefore do not know how to opt out. I searched the help/support forums to find that this seems to be a widespread problem. Is it fixed in current versions? Are there repairs available to this problem that a poor nonprofit without staff web developers or IT funds can afford or know … [View More]

accept email to a maillist only from list owner
by Eric Parker Sept. 5, 2009

Sept. 5, 2009

I'm running Mailman version 2.1.9 Is there a setting I could make make to only accept mail to a maillist that comes from the maillist owner? I was thinking I could set all list members moderation bit to on and set 'discard posts from moderated members'. Is this the only way, and/or the best way to accomplish this? Thank you for any help you can provide.

How to get rid of bogus held-message notifications?
by Anne Anderson Sept. 5, 2009

Sept. 5, 2009

Hello! After a spammer targeted about 80 of our lists, I deleted the held messages by physically removing the files at the command line. However, every day at 8 AM I still get the emailed notifications that a message is being held. Evidently something in Mailman still thinks those messages are there. Is there a way to clear this? Thanks for any advice you can give. We are running 2.1.9 on a SLES Linux server. Anne -- Anne Anderson Web Application Developer / Database Manager Information Technology Westmont College

domain regex and template for the lists?
by Andrei Sept. 4, 2009

Sept. 4, 2009

Two quick questions: Is it possible to copy list preferences from one list to another? Is it possible to create a regex in mailman that would accept emails from all domain members even if they are not members of a list? For example, I have complains(a)lists.host.com list with three members. I would like users from host.com and lists.host.com (only) to be able to send this list

A way around these problems may be to use your ISP's mail-relay, rather than delivering directly. Or use a third-party mailer, such as fastmail.fm. Usually your ISP is not on any black-lists, and they also (should) have mechanisms in place to get off such black-lists when they get on them. Of course, to get lots of messages out via your ISP … [View More]
