So your hosting service offers Mailman lists, but is unwilling or unable to support them. The real answer is to find a host for your lists that is willing to support what they offer. This is complicated by the fact that <http://brillante.com.au/mailman/listinfo> is a cPanel Mailman. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/sYA9>. That all said, here's the situation. Mailman will silently discard a message for one of several reasons. All discards are logged in Mailman's vette log which the host can see, but ... The most likely reason is content filtering: filter_content is Yes filter_action is Discard nothing was left after content filtering There are various reasons for this, e.g. the message's type is multipart/related and pass_mime_types doesn't include that type, or the message has only text/html parts and they aren't passed. Other possible reasons include: The post is from a moderated member and member_moderation_action is discard. The post is from a non-member and there is a match in discard_these_nonmembers or generic_nonmember_action is discard. The post matches a header_filter_rules rule with discard action. The incoming message for some reason contains an X-BeenThere: header with the list's address The installation has set ARCHIVE_HTML_SANITIZER to discard html only messages and the list's scrub_nondigest is Yes and this is a text/html message. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
