Stripping sig files
by bruce clark Dec. 18, 2010

Dec. 18, 2010

Hi, I've looked at the FAQ but because I put the 'new' in newbie, I don't really understand the subtleties. My problem: the users on my lists are waging a low-level war with their sig files. I do not allow commercial posting so they have started creating sig files with their commercial messages inside them. This is creating a lot of 'heat' and wasting a huge amount of my time as I try and deal with users. I've gone into content filtering and listed the mime types of images to be … [View More]

Dec. 17, 2010

Assembled Wisdom! First of all, a note of thanks to Mark Sapiro for his wonderful command of the mailman SW, _and_ for his great replies. Only those who have read messages on other lists by other experts can appreciate how elegantly and enlightenlingly Mr Sapiro formulates his answers. That duty done, to my question: I should like to be able to send messages to a selected partion of a membership and automate this procedure if possible.

Does mailman support the Archived-At header (RFC-5064)
by Randy Kramer Dec. 15, 2010

Dec. 15, 2010

I'm asking if mailman can be set up so it will calculate the required header (hash of the message ID or whatever) and insert it in a post before distributing the post to the list? I've tried googling and searching things like the NEWS file for mailman (at least for version 2.2x), with no luck. I had seen words that Mailman will (i.e., plans to) support RFC-5064, but maybe it hasn't been implemented yet? Randy Kramer

by JRC Groups Dec. 15, 2010

Dec. 15, 2010

Dear all, I have been lucky enough to be helped by Mark Sapiro to get my installation of Mailman fixed and my mailing lists properly configured. His help has been crucial and I want to acknowledge publicly how grateful I am for his help. We have experienced a problem that seems to be created by Apple's implementation of Mailman and Mark suggested I contacted others more experienced with Apple's OS X Server to obtain help. In Mailman's mm_cfg.py file there are two lines that need to be as … [View More]

Hi, I recently set up a mailman server for internal use and as list owner I am getting confirmation emails for every posting even though I set DEFAULT_GENERIC_NONMEMBER_ACTION = 0 in all the lists and restarted mailman.

Footer shows up as attachment
by Schwartz, Robert - IS Dec. 8, 2010

Dec. 8, 2010

I'm adding a footer to every email to allow user to unsubscribe. It is showing up as an attachment. I've set Should Mailman convert text/html parts to plain text? This conversion happens after MIME attachments have been stripped. To yes. But this is not working. When I post to this website my message is sent back with a footer to unsubscribe which is exactly what I want. Robert

Interesting problem with gmail users
by Paul Tomblin Dec. 7, 2010

Dec. 7, 2010

Note: this is NOT the frequently asked question about why GMail users don't see their own posts. I run a bunch of mailman mailing lists, and I'm subscribed to those lists from my GMail account. I also set up a filter to tag the posts from those mailing lists. However, the messages from some other GMail users on those mailing lists show a banner that says "Due to a filter you created, this message was not sent to Spam. Edit Filters". Other GMail users do not show that banner. The ones who … [View More]

htdig integration patches to be updated for 2.1.14?
by Chris Toomey Dec. 7, 2010

Dec. 7, 2010

Hi, I'd like to do a fresh install of mailman with the htdig integration as described at http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg11713.html . However, the 2 patches were last updated for mailman 2.1.10 and mailman's now up to version 2.1.14. Can somebody update those patches for 2.1.14, or should I just go with 2.1.10? Also, I've not been able to find any documentation on the changes made in each mailman release so it's hard to tell what I'd be giving up in going w/ 2.1.10 -- … [View More]
