Hi folks, I'm learning a lot about Mailman all of a sudden.
I had a user move a list from another provider onto an install on my system yesterday. Instead of uploading a <CR>-delimited file with one email address per line, they uploaded a tab-delimited file with a tab between each address. As an added factor, they mistakenly had the interface set to send a welcome message. Interestingly, the effect of this was that no one got subscribed to the list because Mailman read every single address as a null email address with the actual email address quoted. Mailman then happily proceeded to pass 8,000+ null-addressed welcome messages to my mail server, which decided to ignore the quotes and send all the messages out! Is this a bug or a feature? =) -- Jesse Sanford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> System Designer, Seedbox Connect ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
