I've moved and renamed a set of lists. Not everyone reads their email, though, so occasionally people try to post to the old names off the old domain name. For now, I want to retain the old lists as is, in case I need to back out of the move.
I've set up autorespond text to tell posters that a list has moved, but their postings still go through to the old list that way. If I set everyone's moderation bit (or enable the emergency moderation flag), I still have to manually reject or discard postings. The answer would seem to be a filter that matches on all postings and rejects them with my autorespond text. Is there anything simpler I could do? I've checked the archives, and all the answers are about lists that are *mostly* read-only, not entirely. A truly read-only list has other utility. There are a few extinct lists I'd like to host archives for. Mailman provides the framework for controlling who can access the archives and for generating the browsing pages. For that use case, since I don't need an explanation sent to a would-be poster, I think the simplest solution is removing the list from the mail aliases file. I'm using 2.1.12, for no reason other than that it's working fine and I haven't had a compelling reason to upgrade yet. -- David. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
