Setting new_member_options flag (fwd)
Hello all,
I would like to set the flag ReceiveNonmatchingTopics for new members of my list. If I understand correctly, what I need to do is to change DEFAULT_NEW_MEMBER_OPTIONS from the default value of 256 to 320 in mm_cfg.py. In fact, when a new list is created, the new_member_options is set correctly to 320, but, as I modify some of the settings of the list (e.g. preferred_language) and I output the configuration file from config_list, I find that the new_member_options reset to 256, and it seems impossible to change it via the configuration file.
I'm using Mailman 2.13 on Ubuntu.
Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, all the best
Michela

This is really a bug. The problem is whenever you submit any changes to the list's General Options page, new_member_options is reset to only those options that are checked on that page. Options other than the four that are shown on the page are reset.
Because of the same bug, attempts to set option bits other than 2, 4, 16 and 256 via config_list new_member_options= will not succeed.
You can set these other bits by specifying, e.g.
mlist.new_member_options = 360
instead of
new_member_options = 360
in the input to config_list or using withlist, but even if you do, the first time you submit any changes to the General Options page, the bits other than the displayed four will be reset.
I have reported this at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/865825>.
