If filter_content is set to "no", there should be no filtering of content and all MIME parts should be passed regardless of type. >I say strange because, as I mentioned in my previous >mail, the attachemnts did not go through earlier >although I had deleted all the content types, and I >had set the first option to 'yes', but left option 5 >at 'discard' If filter_content is "yes" and pass_mime_types are defined, no parts which don't match a pass_mime_type will pass the filter. If pass_mime_types is empty, then that test is skipped and everything should be passed through except any types deleted by the filter_mime_types filter. I have tested this and it works for me with Mailman 2.1.4. I don't know why it apparently doesn't work for you. Perhaps pass_mime_types wasn't truly empty. Maybe it contained a blank line or some such. >A little bit of experimentation might clear this up >for you although mine is still to 'No' for option 1 >and my atttachments are going through fine. As I said above, if filter_content is set to "no", there should be no filtering of content and all MIME parts should be passed regardless of type as is happening in your case. Filter_action should be irrelevant in this case. If filter_content is set to "yes", then you should define pass_mime_types to allow those types you want. You must allow not only those types you want such as text/plain, application/pdf, but also "higher level" types that might contain those types as sub parts, e.g. multipart/mixed, etc. If you want to allow everything, just set filter_content to "no" and don't worry about the rest. Finally note the following quote from the Content Filtering page. "After this initial filtering, any multipart attachments that are empty are removed. If the outer message is left empty after this filtering, then the whole message is discarded. Then, each multipart/alternative section will be replaced by just the first alternative that is non-empty after filtering." This last sentence means that if filter_content is set to "yes", even if you are allowing multipart/alternative, text/plain and text/html, only the text/plain part of a multipart/alternative message will be delivered to the list. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
