Hello- I've searched the Mailman Users FAQ and archives and cannot find an answer to my issue below.
Our moderated Mailman list (running on Mailman 2.1.4) had been chugging along just fine for the past five months. Then abruptly this week we found several new subscribers posting to the list unmoderated! When I investigated Mailman admin settings I found the new subscriber moderate box unchecked! How could this setting be changed without human interaction? Anyway I re-checked it and re-set all accounts to moderated. At the same time this occurred, and thus may be related, some posts to the list began showing up with attachments. Before this time we had been successfully filtering attachments, without a single attachment making it through to the list. Example of a recent post which included attachments is included below (with relevant headers). Note the two attachments in the post below appear as a graphical rule (horizontal line), one separating the header from the body and the other between the body and the footer (see below). (At least this is how they appear in Outlook Express, which by necessity I use to view messages posted to the list). We have the list setup to convert all HTML to text. Below is the lists current 'Content Filtering' settings. Any thoughts on why we are suddenly observing the appearance of attachments and any recommendations to filter them out? We're just happy with straight text. Thanks, Woody -- Current 'Content Filtering' settings: Should Mailman filter the content of list traffic according to the settings below? Yes Remove message attachments that have a matching content type. None listed. Remove message attachments that don't have a matching content type. multipart/mixed multipart/alternative text/plain Should Mailman convert text/html parts to plain text? yes. Action to take when a message matches the content filtering rules.
