One of my associates set up content filters to reject attachments and other things. He created a custom message to explain this. Now he wants to change the message, but I cannot locate which file in /mailman holds the text (and I did look at all of them). Can somebody tell me how I could find it. I do know text fragments.

for i in find /var/mailman/ -type f do; grep -H "fragment" $i; done

This will search through every file in every subdirectory of /var/mailman and look for the word "fragment". If it finds a match, it prints out the files name.

"grep -r .... /usr/lib/mailman/" finds Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py which appear to hard-code the rejection messages.

Feature request:

1. for "class SuspiciousHeaders": optionally add the name and the value of the suspicious header to the rejection message. the moderator then can remove it if he wants to, but it gives him valuable fedback on which rules trigger.

2. for all rejection messages, allow a common custom explanation. e.g., I find it very inconvenient to have to insert "See http://clisp.cons.org/faq.html#rejected for details." after each rejection message.

Thanks!
