Viewing this list (digest) in OE and question re spammers

by Mike Winnett

I joined this list several months ago (digest) as I planned to move my lists from majordomo to mailman and thought I'd play it smart and have a load of digests to look through, I had found the greatcircle list helpful when I was on Majordomo. Now I've made the move, but when I went to the digests folder in OE it informed me that it was not letting me see the attachments, it seems OE thought they might be viruses or something. Anyway I've deleted them all and changed my options at Python to Plain Text which works fine, I get the digest as one long textfile. Is there a way to configure Outlook Ex not to do this? One Mailman query, my lists archive all posts automatically, I've set it so that only list subcribers can see the archives, how will that affect spammers who want to harvest addresses? Are they currently joining lists in order to get the addresses? Hope these queries are appropriate, I've run my lists on listproc, ezmlm, majordomo, and now mailman, and I still don't know what I'm doing. regards mick winnett

Given subscriber lists, I was able to use mailman's add_members commands. With separate lists of regular and digest subscribers (and the corresponding '-r' and '-d' options) and the "--welcome-msg=n" option, I was able to subscribe everyone without any need for action by the individual subscribers. The use of MUA is much a matter of operating system used and individual preference. I've been using Sylpheed-Claws under Linux for the past year and like its GUI. I understand it's also available for Windoze. Regards, David

Yes. If you have shell access, this will definitely work but it doesn't sound like marci and rex have shell access. Or do they? David

Intro and first problem

by Bob Rea

Hi, I'm Bob and I work for an Internet provider that serves mailing lists. I was recently given the job of moving ezmlm lists to Mailman. I completed this. Now a problem has arisen and I don't know what to do. I have looked at the configurations of several of these lists and can't find a way to solve it. Mail that should come to (listname)-owner is coming to mailman-owner. He is unhappy with getting these messages. I and others should be getting them. How do we deal with this?

Mail commands in Mailman?

by Jens Kjaerulff

Is it possible, as list administrator, to use Mail based commands in Mailman instead of the web based administrative interface? I am used to ezmlm, and mail based commands strike me as much faster to use in daily administration. // Jens

[resolved] Re: apache errors

by Bryan Irvine

I had done several test installs, with real, and fake users (installed via OpenBSD ports), and when I'd remove an install, I'd manually remove /usr/local/lib/mailman, but never noticed /var/spool/mailman, which although reported it was owned by _mailman, it actually wasn't because the uid number (1001 or some such thing) was different than the current _mailman user (1006 or something). So in essence, *I* broke it. :-) It works now. ezmlm you are history! ;) --Bryan

My installation of Mailman doesn't. I have spam filters that make sure that poorly-formed requests don't get to Mailman. >Do we risk blocking by black lists for allowing mailing list bounces? At this point in time, it's fairly net-unfriendly to run a mail reflector that isn't protected by spam filters. If anyone uses your mail reflector to propagate spam, you'll have a hard time getting your domain unblocked. >We all see spam bouncing off our lists, how do we distinguish what's >what?

Install good spam filters and tune your MDA so that it won't deliver scattershot messages to Mailman. -- Thank you, Heather Madrone <heather(a)madrone.com> http://www.madrone.com

As I said, I think it's defensible to claim Mailman is the originator, but practicality beats purity, and I do think a list manager falls into a gray area here. Having said all that, you might be right, in that we really don't need to do much except remove the addition of the Sender: header in bulkdeliver(). -Barry

Complete List...

by Jeff Shepherd

Hello, I'm relatively new to Mailman (switching from ezmlm) and I'm curious if there is a way (outside of the command line) if you can view a listing of a complete list to be able to print it for hard copy reasons, so that you don't have to print 26 different ones? I figured out how to do that in the command line (/usr/lib/mailman/ bin/list_memers [listname]) but most of the company management doesn't know the command line and I'm trying to take the step of them having to go through me to export the list in the command line and give them the ability to do it themselves. Thanks for the help! -Jeff
