 Hello,

 Is there any way to configure a list to ALWAYS reject ANY non-member
 posting to a restricted list. I do not want them to be held for
approval,
 just reject, full stop.

Adding header patterns to SpamDetect.py is one way, although not trivial.
Adding "check for list membership" wouldn't be that hard, but it would
take some actual Python coding.  I could see if I could hack something
like that up if there were sufficient interest.

Proposal: a modification to SpamDetect.py to auto-reject, with no
reply message, mail from non-subscribers (on lists with "subscriber
posting
only" set).  Anyone besides Evilio dying for this?

YES!!! I think this would be a very convenient feature, and don't
understand why it hasn't been implemented yet. 

Although delivering non-member mail to a moderator is "politically
correct" and convenient, because eventually non-member mail might be of
interest to a certain mail list, it would be also convenient to have an
option to auto-reject (with or wihtout reply message) non-member email.
In fact I'm moderating a list in which this feature would be desirable.

best regards
Kenneth

[Mailman-Users] PGP for Mailman

2001-01-18 Thread Jorgen Lundman


Always wanted to have a mailing-list handler that could optionally use
PGP :)

* So that users subscribed could (optionally) send in their public PGP
key, and have all emails delivered to them from then on encoded.

* Ask the server for its public key so mails could be sent to the list
encrypted

* Optional Header keywords in emails to specify delivery of mail to
users only with PGP keys specified. 


But perhaps I'll just be flamed for such an idea... :)

That means it cannot run the pipe command because there is no uid/gid 
associated with your aliases director.

See
  http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.20/doc/html/spec_20.html#SEC595

However you will do better going to
  http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman.html

and reconfiguring exim that way, whilst removing all the mailman 
references from your aliases files.

[Mailman-Users] performance/usage guidelines for Mailman

2001-01-18 Thread Jim Saville



Are there any guidelines for hardware/software 
configurations for using the Mailman program. For example, I am working 
with an organization which wants to run 5-20 lists with most lists running about 
2000 subscribers. I am planning on using a Pentium 133 with 228Mb RAM and 
a 4Gb hd running RH6.2 Linux, Sendmail 8.9.3, and Mailman 2.0. Is this an 
adequate configuration? Can someone supply configuration 
guidelines?

Thank you very much for your time and 
information.

I think it's a good idea...  Sympa (www.sympa.org) does this via

Re: [Mailman-Users] cookie feature request

 I've been bitten again.
 
 I normally run junkbuster so cookies are turned off. Can mailman check
 for this situation and alert that cookies are not functioning instead of
 just asking again for the name/password with no indication of why?

Actually, better:
I'm not a cookie expert, but I think that some cookies are saved on disk and
other  cookies (session  cookies?)  are kept  in memory  and  lost when  the
browser is closed.

Junkbuster does let session cookies through apparently.
Would it be possible for mailman to issue a session cookie if the regular
cookie didn't go through?

[Mailman-Users] Postfix and Mailman

2001-01-18 Thread Chris Jones

I've encountered a problem with mailman and postfix that I'm having a 
hard time troubleshooting becuase I'm not getting any errors from 
syslog. If I enter my email address and password through the web 
interface to subscribe to a new list I get mail asking me to reply as a 
confirmation, but after I reply I don't getting any thing back telling 
me that I'm on the list. And if I go into the maillog all it says is:

Jan 18 13:52:13 hummer postfix/local[28502]: 5934B5F105: 
to=[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED],
 
relay=local, delay=0, status=sent ("|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd

Any help would be a appreciated. Thanks.
