What is the solution for this? OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/list/attachments' # ls -la /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/list/attachments ls: cannot access /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/list/attachments: No such file or directory Should I just create the directory and set permissions? Why didn't it get created? Thanks.

Moderation problem
by Mollatt Ntini 09 May '12

09 May '12

Hello everyone, I hope someone can show me in the right direction here. I have a FreeBSD 8.0 running Mailman 2.1.2 on Exim 4.69. My problem is that I have recently added 2 lists, all working perefectly with just one slight problem. I have users who ARE NOT MEMBERS of the list but are just supposed to send information to the list without requiring to be moderated, and MEMBERS of the list with no mod activated. The Non-memnbers' addresses I have put under Privacy Options ---> Sender Filters ----> Non-member filters. Which I assume is fine, but everytime any other specified users send to the list I always have to go in and release it. Even if I the owner of the list has to send to the list I always have to go in and release it. What could be wrong here? Please help, Regards, Mollatt.

We are having posts, when approved by moderator, not delivered. /var/lib/mailman/logs/post doesn't show the "missing" message. /var/lib/mailman/logs/error doesn't show any errors. "Maximum length in kilobytes (KB) of a message body" is set to zero (no limit). Messages are not bounced and no members see the post. -- Terry Earley terry(a)fiteyes.com 801 706-7470

Where can I find a feature list and documentation for Mailman 3.0 & Postorius? I have not seen anything on list.org! I don't even know what this entails yet, but it sounds very exciting for Mailman users.

suggestion - wording for one of the admin options
by David 03 May '12

03 May '12

The following wording is very confusing (especially because of its similarity to the wording of the next item which has the opposite effect): Remove message attachments that don't have a matching content type. Leave > this field blank to skip this filter test. > I would like to propose to the developers the following wording: Pass message attachments that match a listed content type. Leave this field > blank to skip this filter test. > And here's a suggestion for the next item too: Remove message attachments that match a listed filename extension. > <http://discuss.fiteyes.com/m/admin/all/?VARHELP=contentfilter/filter_filena…>
