Still having trouble with an email filter vis-a-vis Chinese crap.

In my mailman Privacy options/Spam filters/Regexps my expression: ^Subject: =\?utf-8\?B\? does NOT appear to work to discard all posts with that expression in the subject line. That traffic always contains this: Subject =?utf-8?B? before all the following garbage. Sometimes that expression beginning with = is contained multiple times in the traffic I want to discard. As you can see above, I have escaped all the ? characters. Is there something further I need to do to make this work as it should? Obviously, I am still doing something wrong, but I can't see it. I thought the escape character was the \, but maybe it is a / . ? What? I am, presently, not all that happy, although I have cut down the Chinese garbage by about 90% since I implemented other filters. There remains the 10% which is still very annoying.

mailman is receiving, but not forwarding emails.

I performed a massive debian update last week, which included a postfix update. Mailman may have updated too (it is currently 2.1.26). All other mail services on my server appear to still work (Drupal password resets, Roundcube webmail send/receive, virtual mailbox forwarding), but mailman is no longer sending out messages. The mailman archives are showing any messages that are sent to the list, but users are not receiving a copy. The mailman log files are suspiciously empty. The vet file does show where I tried to message a list I am not a member to, but nothing about the numerous times posting to a list that I am a member to, which is in the archive. here is a typical log message: May 5 11:55:12 bunsen postfix/smtpd[3101]: 3876038119: client=mail-qt0-f177.google.com[209.85.216.177] May 5 11:55:12 bunsen postfix/cleanup[28458]: 3876038119: message-id=<CA+tzkyyHK7apJ6PQ-a-mESt4kWEJ7KcYgd-NyOgG_vLvsJwHfQ(a)mail.gmail.com> May 5 11:55:12 bunsen opendkim[557]: 3876038119: mail-qt0-f177.google.com [209.85.216.177] not internal May 5 11:55:12 bunsen opendkim[557]: 3876038119: not authenticated May 5 11:55:12 bunsen opendkim[557]: 3876038119: DKIM verification successful May 5 11:55:12 bunsen opendkim[557]: 3876038119: s=google d=google-hosted-domain SSL May 5 11:55:12 bunsen postfix/qmgr[4308]: 3876038119: from=<my_username(a)google-hosted-domain.com>, size=2305, nrcpt=1 (queue active) May 5 11:55:12 bunsen postfix/local[27003]: 3876038119: to=<listname(a)my_primary_domain.com>, orig_to=<listname(a)lists.my_second_domain.com>, relay=local, delay=0.3, delays=0.16/0/0/0.14, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post listname) May 5 11:55:12 bunsen postfix/qmgr[4308]: 3876038119: removed Thanks for any help,Kevin Nowaczyk

Wrong language sent to subscribers
by Rubeno Fernández May 1, 2018

May 1, 2018

Hello all, I'm using Mailman 2.1.20 on Ubuntu 16, which I installed from their repositories; Python is 2.7. I've set up DEFAULT_SERVER_LANGUAGE to 'ca' in my /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py file. All the language files can be found at /usr/ share/mailman/ca. However, subscription confirmation notices and acknowledgements are sent only in English. Strangely enough, the subjects are in Catalan, though. Is this a bug? How can I fix it? Rubeno
