Re: [Mailman-Users] No archive files but 2 lists taking up 50MB in cPanel?
Thanks, Brian & Steve!
I feel some context would be useful. I solely use mailing lists so both myself and my wife can get emails from schools, sports clubs, bills, etc.
All emails that come in I want to forward to our 2 addresses with no archive so as far, as I am concerned ongoing admin having to accept messages from new addresses, is overkill and I would avoid doing it and accept all messages if that was possible. Also, sometimes some of the sports clubs for my kids attach a pdf.
I have only edited the bare minimum of the mailman settings.
- I looked at "Scrub attachments of the regular delivery message? (Details for scrub_nondigest)" which opens in a new window it's set to no already!2. In content filtering, I turned it on and changed nothing else.
Hopefully, #2 means that attachments will now not be archived and I can achieve my goal of zero build-up of any storage with messages passing through?
I guess I'll have to wait and see if anything accumulates!
Thanks a million, Tom.

I would then add
text/html application/pdf
to pass_these_mime_types in the Content Filtering page. The first allows HTML-only mail to come in, and since this is really personal mail I don't see a good reason to disallow HTML. The second prevents the PDF from being discarded. If you strongly *prefer* plain text to HTML-formatted email, you could set both of
collapse_alternatives convert_html_to_plaintext
to Yes in the same page.

Wow! Thanks, Steve!
My mention of pdf here, crossed over with my other post and confused, sorry.
With content_filtering turned on now hopefully no more attachments accumulate.,
collapse_alternatives convert_html_to_plaintext
defaulted to Yes, so I turned them off.
Done and tested :-)
Cheers,
Tom.

Not a problem. I'm still a little worried about your settings, though. The question is, "Do you want to receive those PDFs?" If "application/pdf" is not in pass_these_mime_types, they will get discarded.

Correct.
collapse_alternatives convert_html_to_plaintext
defaulted to Yes, so I turned them off.
This is safe to do.

If scrub_nondigest is No, attachments will Not be stored aside in the archive and replaced by a link in the message. This is exactly what you want.
Content filtering may be used to remove unwanted attachments, but with scrub_nondigest off, attachments won't be stored aside anyway so it won't affect the storage of things in the archive.
