Mailing list to news gateway: why does MailMan re-write the message-id

by Larry Rosenman

MM2.0.12, FreeBSD Port. Why when an article is gatewayed from an EZMLM list to news to a MailMan list does MailMan re-write the Message-ID? It makes keeping threads together by the References: header problematical. Also, does 2.1b3 do this better?

Re: [Mailman-Users] preferred sendmail replacement?

In terms of Mailman, the integration is quite good (in the Mailman 2.1 branch). I've also heard good things about exim, but I've never run it myself. I used to run qmail (mainly for ezmlm), but I got tired of the "non-standard" way it handled things (e.g. .qmail files), switched to Postfix, and never looked back. -- Jon Parise (jon(a)csh.rit.edu) :: http://www.csh.rit.edu/~jon/

Mailman usage for Usenet gatewaying

by Darren Wyn Rees

Looking for examples of Mailman usage for Usenet gatewaying particularly for moderated newsgroups. I can see the obvious example of comp.lang.python, but maybe there are others ? I am evaluating Mailman... currently mirroring articles on a local test newsgroup. Thus far, it proves impressive. I have used Russ Allbery's robust News::Gateway toolkit, http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/gateway/ along with ezmlm and Majordomo. Mailman seems to tie a lot of things together, eg. integrated web interface, archiving. It's also user-friendly. On the downside, there does not seem to be much scope for header manipulation at present, eg. headers like Path/XRef/NNTP- are mailed. -- Darren

Extracting subscriber list, hosting package with Mailman

by Coen de Groot

I use Mailman as part of a website hosting package to host a discussion list with 750 active subscribers, with up to 30 messages a day. My host recently told me that the list is generating too much traffic. So I need to move the list I have another host which uses EZMLM. They've told me that this level of traffic would be no problem to them However, to move to another host I need to subscribe the current subscribers at the new host. Question 1 - Is there any way I can get the list of subscribers, preferably in a readable format, preferably with their settings (nomail, digest, etc). Please note that I don't have access to the server, however I can ask my host to do do it for me (provided I can give them simple instructions which don't take too long to do and won't affect the other websites or lists) Question 2 - Alternatively, does anyone know of a hosting package (I am not ready for a dedicated server yet, alas) which includes Mailman which will allow this sort of volume Many thanks, Coen

I have two lists on my webhost mirroring two still on YHG. They seem to be working well but it is still not easy for people to leave the lists or to join until I create some instructions for footers and welcome and so on. chas

Adding content filters.

by Jorge Godoy

Hi! Is there any documentation on how can I add some content filters to mailing lists? I'd like to have some lists filtered with rules we created while other lists should be completely free... These rules include, e.g., a badwords list and a quotation ratio filter. We already have the filters implemented as shell scripts --- the list was run with ezmlm before --- but I can convert those to Python if needed. TIA, -- Godoy. <godoy(a)ieee.org>

What I've done on my lists is, under Content Filtering, where it says "Remove message attachments that don't have a matching content type. Leave this field blank to skip this filter test.": multipart/mixed multipart/alternative text/plain That seems to strip most all attachments that have tried to be posted to my lists... :) Hope it helps, Glenn --- The original portions of this message are the copyright of the author (c)1998-2002 Glenn E.

Mailman has been designed to be highly configurable. The up side of this is you can do things you could never do with Yahoo - for example if you wanted to allow gifs but not jpegs you could do that. The down side is there is no "on/off" switchs for sets of parameters you or some other user might want. Mailman is not Yahoo (thank God) and never will be (thank Him again!). If you want brain dead software that makes it easy to pick from it's very limited choices, there are plenty of services that will give you that - along with the ads to pay for it. If you are willing to do a bit more work, you can tailor Mailman for what ever your needs are. It's your choice. <>< Paul
