Hello, all.
I have around 300 mailing lists and more going up all the time. For each list I setup, I have to setup some defaults for our company such as listadmin, do not send pass reminders, digest options, etc.
My question is, is there a way to set my particular defaults to be the defaults for a newlist creation? So when I create a new list, all the settings that I usually have to go into and change for each and every list would already be there?
I have created a custom admin page with just a simple text box with "Create List". this way, only I can get to this page and to add a list, I simply type in the name and hit submit to create the list. If I could get it to have all the defaults I normally have to change and have them setup by default, it would make for no hassle management.
If anyone knows where the defaults are stored for a list creation, or how to change all of the defaults, please let me know.

Most of these can be set in ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py (look in Defaults.py and copy over the settings you want to change as your list defaults).

Hi,
I'm running a mailman list with about 400 members and often get into a loop problem when someone puts on an auto "out-of-office" reply back to the list and that creates an endless loop.
Could anyone please advise me how to stop such loops?
Many thanks..

Set those people who are using badly broken autoresponders [1] on "moderated". Or unsubscribe them - someone who is not able to use a mailing-list properly should not use one at all.
Otherwise you can try to catch those autoreplies with expressions for the spam filter.

[1] Autoresponders should not respond to mails from mailing lists. They should not respond to Reply-To:. They should not send more than one mail to each recipient for every $x days. (How old is the "vacation"-program? Five years? Ten? Fifteen? And there are *still* people getting it wrong.) And, of course, you should never activate autoresponders on accounts you have subscribend to a mailing list.
