Disabling the digest feature
by MLA July 20, 2015

July 20, 2015

I have a low volume mailing list and would like to remove the digest option, so what I've done is (via the Mailman administrative interface): - in "Membership management"-"Membership list": disabled "Digest" from those members who had this enabled - in "Digest option": set Edit_digest to NO to disable the digest feature entirely - posted a message to the list to tell about the change and that current digest-receiving members have had their subscriptions changed to non-digest. This is all … [View More]

newsgroup->mailman moderation
by Danil Smirnov July 20, 2015

July 20, 2015

Hi Mark! I've found your posting advising how to set all posts from Usenet group to moderation: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2013-June/075346.html When look into Moderate.py I've found another code than mentioned in the post: --- # Okay, so the sender wasn't specified explicitly by any of the non-member # moderation configuration variables. Handle by way of generic non-member # action. assert 0 <= mlist.generic_nonmember_action <= 4 if mlist.… [View More]

MM doesn't really forward me the full message
by Skip Montanaro July 18, 2015

July 18, 2015

Sometimes when I see a bit of held spam, I ask Mailman to forward it to me with the intention of pumping it into SpamBayes for training purposes. (This is on mail.python.org, where we are running 2.1.something.) Unfortunately, it doesn't properly forward the entire message to me. It's one of those crappy forwards like you get from Gmail, where the message body and three or four user-visible headers are embedded in the message: Am I missing something? Is MM the culprit here or Gmail? Is … [View More]

Expiring mailing lists
by Gretchen R Beck July 17, 2015

July 17, 2015

I noticed that a couple of sites lists include expiration dates for their mailman lists. I'm interested in using such a feature on my site; is there a particular version where this is available, or is it customized site-by-site? Any pointers to information on implementation? [Also, if this is the wrong list to ask this question, please point me to the right one] Thanks! Gretchen Beck Carnegie Mellon

Editing already created list web address
by Robert Susmilch July 17, 2015

July 17, 2015

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Dear List, Is there a place to edit an already created list's web address. I have finally gotten the web server working, however I have created a virtualhost at lists.susmilch.com instead of www.susmilch.com. When I created an active list I used the www, and have since changed the mm_cfg.py to reflect that. New lists refer me internally to the correct addresses, but old lists keep refering to www every time I click a link. - -- Respectfully, … [View More]

How to stop mail-bombers from abusing web subscribe page
by Daniel Miller July 16, 2015

July 16, 2015

Hi all, We have discovered "mail bomber" programs like "boom mail" abusing the web "subscribe" feature of Mailman 2.1.15 to send hundreds of subscription confirmation messages to addresses that then complain to us and report us as spammers. Is there a canonical way to deal with this? The ones we see look like this in our web logs: 104.154.46.32 nmap.org - [29/Jun/2015:15:03:03 +0000] "GET /mailman/subscribe/announce?email=ALLCAPS.EMAIL@EXAMPLE.COM&fullname=&pw=123456789&pw-conf=… [View More]

Mailman list mail for server loops back to myself
by Robert Susmilch July 16, 2015

July 16, 2015

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello Everyone, I apologize in advance for anything I've overlooked, I'm not a postfix expert. Additionally, my wife and I are returning to school after 10 years out of the system and now have much more grabbing at our time with a little one. I am attempting to create a mailing list for a group project of my wife, and now it's a personal battle. I spent several hours last night Googling, and have tried to implement several different "solutions."… [View More] I have "successfully" created a list with mailman, on CentOS 7 running on a VPS. The server was setup with ISPConfig 3. Additionally postfix is setup to run multiple virtual domains for myself and friends. I have updated the binary file locations of postmap and postalias, however genalias does not create virtual-mailman.db, though it does populate the virtual-mailman table. Postfix complains it does not find the users until I manually run postmap on that file to create the database. Additionally I cannot get the web admin pages to work, as I get a 500 error. However I've read many comments that I need to disable suexec and other options. I am running Wordpress as well as many other odds and ends and would prefer to not screw those up. My main concern is just to get the list working, webpage admin would just be icing.

Hi there, I migrated to a new server and I am back again with permission issues. I am running apache2 on an ubuntu 14.04 server. is there a good tutorial out there that explains the best practices for ownership for the different directories and sub-directories I run check_perms -f as root and some of the same directories still need correcting even after running 'check_perms -f' as root many times.
