Mailman and Postfix-style Virtual Domains (not a problem, only a question!)
by Norbert Aschendorff 02 Oct '12

Hey list, I'm maintaining a server with Postfix and Mailman including Postfix-style virtual domains. This works fine so far. But is it normal that the creation of a list for a virtual subdomain ($prefix/bin/newlist -e subdomain listname) not only creates entries in $prefix/data/virtual-mailman, but also in the aliases file for the "main" domain ($prefix/data/aliases)? I didn't find anything on the web, there are only issues related to non-found hash DBs or missing virtual domains etc. But in mailman-install.pdf which I used for the installation, there's the following sentence: "Mailman’s support of virtual domains is limited in that list names must be globally unique within a single Mailman instance, i.e., two lists may not have the same name even if they are in different domains." Is that related? Or am I doing something wrong? --Norbert P.S.: I'm rather new to Mailman, but I think that I've understood it basically.

Is there a way to strip incoming images and replace them with a link?
by Chuck Rice 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

I am new to Mailman. I converted my lists from Surgemail to Mailman a week a go. I seem to have things running so far, but I have a question. If there is a place to read about this, Just point me to the correct document. I would like to find the spot in Mailman where incoming messages get stopped for moderation and remove all images from the post. But instead of just tossing them, and if the moderator approves them, I would like to save the image to a webserver directory and replace the image in the post with a link to the saved image. So my questions are: 1) Can this be done at all? 2) Can it be done safely? 3) Has it already been done? 4) Where should I focus my reading if I want to do it? Thanks for any pointers you can give me. -Chuck-

Question regarding SPAM
by Futchko, Rose 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

Hi, I have a question about SPAM being sent via Mailman. 1. Even though the message is marked as SPAM it is still sent to the list 2. The sender is not a member of the moderated list 3. Spam filters at the other members site are catching the Spam and returning the not delivered message (example below) 4. Have I mis-configured something in the Mailman to allow this to happen (It happens often) Thank you, Rose Example Message: This is the mail delivery agent at messagelabs.com. I was not able to deliver your message to the following addresses. Remote host said: 554 5.7.9 Message not accepted for policy reasons. --- Below this line is a copy of the message.
