Filtering by text

Hi, I help moderate a few lists where certain topics are not permitted. I thought it would be possible to flag a message for moderation based on text found in the body of the message, but I can't immediately see how one might do this. Presumably the administrivia scan uses a technique like this. Is it possible to do this in Mailman? Geoff.

Mass Subscribe options
by Drew Tenenholz June 9, 2011

June 9, 2011

All -- I am in the early planning stages for migrating my largest mailing list (over 50K) to mailman and have a few questions that will be coming in the next few weeks. Here's the first: 1) I have both digest and non-digest members. What are the options for transferring these members into mailman? (Email, Mass Subscribe upload page, command line, etc.) any preferences to preserve their original digest choice? Does it make any sense to create two new lists (one digest-only, one non-digest-… [View More]

Email interface not processing any email
by William Pearson June 9, 2011

June 9, 2011

I've installed mailman 2.1.9 via the yum repository on Centos 5 according to the Redhat documentation. The web interface is working, however emails sent to any list are being delivered to but not processed by mailman. There are no entries in the mailman logs to indicate anything is happening. The postfix log says the messages are being delivered to the lists. The mailman service is running and the mailman cron jobs are processing. --William Pearson

Generic rules for list members.
by Joseph Chamberlain, D.D.S. June 8, 2011

June 8, 2011

Hello, everyone. A question for the group: Does anyone have a list with rules of behavior and/or Internet etiquette for members of your mailing list(s) that you could share ? I did a search on Mailman's website but couldn't find a default or standard one. I found Mailman's "List Member Manual" but it doesn't seem to contain any information related to expected member behavior (and I wouldn't expect it to contain it). Any that you can share or any links to where I may find examples of rules of … [View More]

Listserv Problems
by Christy Johnson June 7, 2011

June 7, 2011

Starting about a month ago, out company began having major problems with our listservs. Initially, we just couldn't send e-mails to one of them with no bounce notifications. Then one day, all the bounce notifications came all at one. Then other listservs also stopped functioning, or refuse to function when certain e-mails e-mail them. The problem seems to get getting worse, and I have no idea what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Christy -- Christina E. Johnson Director of … [View More]

PLEASE HELP

June 7, 2011

One of my listservs stopped working a while back and some of the other ones have been finicky since. Then just today, the system automatically unsubscribed everyone who was on the listserv. I am completely at a loss for what to do here. Please help!!! Christy -- Christina E. Johnson Georgetown University Edmund A.
