[Mailman-Users] content filtering and blank messages (again)

Sun May 18 06:20:43 CEST 2008

(Following up)

The problem and the workaround appear to be the same as this:

http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.022.htp

The system in this case is running CPanel 11.18.6 on CentOS 4.6. The
only difference from the symptoms discussed in the FAQ is that the
messages sent out by Mailman after filtering were blank, whereas the
case in the FAQ had a "permission denied" error.

Thanks to Mark Sapiro for ruling out other causes and pointing to this
solution.

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:

I've search the archives and I must be missing something, so if this
is a stupid question I apologize. But I'm having endless trouble
getting Mailman to convert messages sent as HTML only into plain text.
It's sending an empty message. The fixes discussed in past threads on
this subject aren't working -- or else I'm not implementing them
correctly.

What follows are the content filtering settings, followed by a cc of a
test message I sent to the list as HTML only, followed by what Mailman
sent out after content filtering. The latter has no message body
except the standard footer. I disguised all of the emails and other
identifying information but I hope it's still understandable.

Thanks in advance for any help.
