Using cronjob to remove and add members to a mailing list
by Jerry Barnabee 10 Aug '22

10 Aug '22

I want to be able to run a cronjob on my server that uses a php script to add new users and/or remove users from a mailing list. Not having any luck finding any simple examples. My thought is that the php script would get email addresses from a database (which I can do) and then feed them to a mailman command line to either add or remove a user. The cronjob is entered via Cpanel. Have several cronjobs that modify databases but have never tried something that would actually execute a unix command. Thanks, Pineyscripter

Re: [Mailman-Users] Automate Moderator Functions

Hi, i`m trying to reject messages bigger then MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE. I configured my Hold.py was described bellow: replaced hold_for_approval(mlist, msg, msgdata, _ MessageTooBig(bodylen,_mlist.max_message_size)) with rej = MessageTooBig(bodylen, mlist.max_message_size) _ raise Errors.RejectMessage, rej.reason_notice_ The message was rejected, but the sender dont receive any notify about that. The mailman vette log too. How can i solve this? Thanks, André Dennis Putnam wrote: > >I am getting back to this and I have a question about maintenance.

You can modify Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py itself, but before overwriting it, make a "diff -u" between the base Hold.py and your modified version to use as a patch to apply after any upgrade. A better way is to leave Hold.py unchanged and make your own edited version as say Mailman/Handlers/MyHold.py. Then you can replace the base Hold.py Module with your MyHold.py by putting GLOBAL_PIPELINE[GLOBAL_PIPELINE.index('Hold')] = 'MyHold' in mm_cfg.py. Note that if you are going to do this, and you want also to move MimeDel before Hold, you must either put the above line after the lines GLOBAL_PIPELINE.remove('MimeDel') GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(GLOBAL_PIPELINE.index('Hold'), 'MimeDel') in mm_cfg.py or put it before, but then also change GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(GLOBAL_PIPELINE.index('Hold'), 'MimeDel') to GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(GLOBAL_PIPELINE.index('MyHold'), 'MimeDel') I recommend the former as in # # Put MimeDel ahead of Hold so "too big" is based on content filtered # message. # GLOBAL_PIPELINE.remove('MimeDel') GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(GLOBAL_PIPELINE.index('Hold'), 'MimeDel') # # Replace Hold with local version # GLOBAL_PIPELINE[GLOBAL_PIPELINE.index('Hold')] = 'MyHold' Since mm_cfg.py survives upgrades, this should survive. >Also does this same procedure apply to other automatic rejections such >as implicit destination? >On 9/24/2012 8:43 PM, Mark Sapiro wrote: >> >> To automatically reject or discard messages that exceed the list's size >> limit, find the section of the Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py that ends with >> the lines >> >> >> if bodylen/1024.0 > mlist.max_message_size: >> hold_for_approval(mlist, msg, msgdata, >> MessageTooBig(bodylen, >> mlist.max_message_size)) >> # no return >> >> (there is one wrapped line in the above) and replace >> >> hold_for_approval(mlist, msg, msgdata, >> MessageTooBig(bodylen, >> mlist.max_message_size)) >> >> with >> >> rej = MessageTooBig(bodylen, mlist.max_message_size)) >> raise Errors.RejectMessage, rej.reason_notice >> >> to reject the message or with >> >> raise Errors.DiscardMessage >> >> to discard the message.

Hi, I am a newbie to Mailman and cpanel and I need some help, please. I have set up a mailing list for my tennis club (about 300 on list) and it seems to work ok BUT each recipient only sees the mailing list name rather than his own email name in the 'to' box. One of the recipients recently did a 'reply to all' and consequently sent his reply to the whole mailing list. I'm sure there must be a way to prevent this but I can't find it! David Elliott

Munge without CC or Reply-To
by Diez 23 Feb '22

23 Feb '22

Hello. I'm new at this list. I'm trying to setup a list (I'm not the site admin), and I'd like to use Munge From setting, but I'd like not have Reply-To field or CC field, but I suspect is not possible. I was testing with anonymous_list, but the problem is that only a certain member should send some kind of calls, but with anonymous_list anyone could send it. I'm setting up with 2.1.23 version. Regards and thanks in advanced and sorry for my bad english

Hi: Can you change the header "Approved: password" for the approval of moderated messages, and change it to another word? For example, approve moderated messages with the word "OK" and without having to specify a password. Thank you so much. Regards.

Bogus Email Subscription Requests using Axios
by enews＠jdb.homelinux.net 31 May '21

Running Mailman 2.1.15 on CentOS 7. In the last week or so I started getting bogus subscription attempts.

Is it my server or Yahoo's server(s)?
by Robert Heller 31 May '21

31 May '21

I run a *small* Mailman 2.x server on a VPS running CentOS 7, with Postfix. I have one E-Mail list with just under 500 members, about 60 of which have @yahoo.com addresses and another 15-20 with @aol.com addresses. For the past couple of weeks, Yahoo's servers have been "deferring" mail from my servers. It is not clear why. I have all of the DMARC, DKIM, and SPF stuff setup in Mailman (From: munging) and Postfix (DKIM signing, SPF records, etc.). I did some statistical analysis of Postfix's logs for just today. Sending mail to *every other* E-mail service is averaging a delay of under 3 seconds. Sending to Yahoo's servers is averaging a delay of just under 50000 seconds!

Help with 'The message has no valid senders'
by McGuire, Tommy M. (MSFC-IS90)[EAST2] 21 May '21

21 May '21

We recently installed Mailman 3 to replace an existing Mailman 2 installation with a large number of lists and users. I'm now seeing a number of users on specific lists whose posts result in: May 18 14:25:41 2021 (112570) DISCARD: <BY5PR09MB52987327DE1AA2C199DC4DC1D42C9(a)BY5PR09MB5298.example.org>; ['The message has no valid senders'] The post have sender addresses, which are members or owners of the lists, and as far as I can tell, the users are valid. Can anyone shed any light on why a post wouldn't have a valid sender? Tommy M. McGuire Tommy.M.McGuire(a)nasa.gov
