Allowing posts with certain topics/blocking all others
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cae13e66c3f129104bca92753760d9e0.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I have a list that I'd like to enforce a set of headers on. In other words, each message subject must start with a certain word in order be posted. Has anybody found a way to do this? I know I can block messages with certain headers, but I want to block all messages and only allow those with the approved headers. If anybody has a great idea how to accomplish this, please pass it on ...

Dear all,
I wonder whether it is possible to change the Mailman background image so the background fits the general design of our web site.
cheers,

/usr/local/bin/python: can't open file '/home/mailman/cron/qrunner'
Ok, I keep getting this in my mailman user's inbox. What's it mean?

If you are not getting complaints about the other scripts found in /home/mailman/cron, you can probably assume that the directory permissions are correct and the qrunner permissions are wrong (or the file is missing, which Python also reports as "can't open file ...").

When subscribers email to my list using HTML, the posts come out garbled and duplicated with HTML coding. I'm instructing my members to use plain text when posting, but people using AOL 6.0 don't have a choice, apparently.
Anyway to get around this?

As part of your installation procedure you should have installed a cron table, probably the one in $prefix/Mailman/cron/crontab.in, for your mailman UID. In that crontab should be a line that reads something like:
<quote>
- /usr/local/bin/python -S /home/mailman/cron/qrunner </quote>
You can check this with the crontab command.
I think the email may be cron telling you that it cannot open the qrunner script file being referred to by the crontab entry.
Doing an ls -l on $prefix/cron would have the following line in the response if your Mailman installation is OK:
<quote> -rw-r--r-- 1 mailman mailman 12044 Jul 30 11:41 qrunner </quote>
Running $prefix/bin/check_perms might clear the problem
