I've had a very hard time with my lists ever since my provider upgraded to 2.1.2. The most recent problem is that messages sent via Hotmail (and some other Web-based mail programs) come through like this:
/root/HJBt9Y: Permission denied
I will take a SWAG that you are operating through cPanel.
A while back I set up an account with a hosting service precisely to explore how MM operates under such an installed environment. Today, I have found exactly the problem you describe for post containing text/html parts although it wasn't occurring the last time I looked a few weeks back. Also the archiving has stopped working for the list emitting such broken messages.
Conclusion is that the cPanel folks, who are the ones integrating their modified version of Mailman Open Software into their charged-for commercial cPanel package, have fouled something up. Looks like some sort of permission problems maybe. Looking at the Mailman source distribution I cannot see where the '/root/stuff' insertions are coming from and I suspect it is not from code in the vanilla MM source but from cPanel modified Mailman code which I cannot find a way to get hold of GPL license notwithstanding.
Best bet is to persuade your ISP to take cPanel to task - well they are charging him for the product - and try posting to cPanel's support list for all the good it will do.
This only happens with Content Filtering turned on. My content filtering settings are:
1. Should Mailman filter? Yes. [when this is set to "no," people using Microsoft Exchange Server get messages as attachments only.]
2. Remove messages with these attachments: [blank]
3. Remove messages that don't have these attachments: multipart/mixed multipart/alternative text/html text/plain image/jpg image/jpeg image/gif audio/basic audio/mpg audio/mpeg audio/wav video/asf video/mpeg video/mpg video/quicktime
[some of these types still get stripped. For example, mpgs don't make it through.]
4. Should Mailman convert text/html parts to plain text? Yes. [Again, if this is no, Exchange Server people are getting all messages as attachments.]
5. Action to take when messages match: Forward to List Owner.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks.
Tim
