First of all let me thank you for letting us use a great product. Now let me explain the problem. I have a mailing list, with the following settings 1. Posting allowed only for the list members. 2. Temporarily we have put the list under moderation. In this setting, all messages have to be approved by the list administrator. a). Under the above settings, I was under the impression that all postings by non-members would be automatically rejected, and only postings by list-members would be displayed to the administrator for approval. b). But recently we received a couple of unsolicited postings from non-members. These postings by non-members were also LISTED FOR APPROVAL along with the postings from members. This created some confusion. c). I verified the mailing list's setting once again and I do not see any obvious problems. d). Is the above behavior is a Bug ? I would appreciate a reply. Thanks, Mathew Simon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Title: Weird stuff I had something weird happen today. I set up a new list for a client today.

Operating system error It seems that wrapper is looking for /home/mailman/post in /usr/local/majordomo and is obviously having problems. Why would it be doing this and how do I fix it? See README.SENDMAIL: -- For example, if you've installed Mailman in the standard location, you can just execute these commands (you might have to do these as root): % cd /etc/smrsh % ln -s /home/mailman/mail/wrapper wrapper One complication: if you're running Majordomo and Mailman simultaneously (i.e. in the process of migrating from MD to MM :), then you might have a small problem because Majordomo also uses a program called `wrapper'. In this case, Paul Tomblin suggests calling the Mailman symlink `mailman_wrapper', and changing the alias entries to call this instead of `wrapper'.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Feature request
You must be running IP virtual domains rather than named virtual domains. With named vrtual domains, mailing lists are always created defaulted to the domain where Mailman was originally installed (the machine's default domain) and then I have to log in to the admin page and change them to the correct domain for the list. The welcome message to the list owner shows the default domain rather than the domain for the list. There are also some minor issues on the list of lists for a domain. If the domain is set to foo.com and the user browses to http://www.foo.com/mailman/listinfo they will not see the list but will if they browse to http://foo.com/mailman/listinfo.

[Mailman-Users] Keeping quoted digests off the list
One of my majordomo lists also has a digest option. I have the following taboo header settings in the majordomo config file for that list: # taboo_headers[regexp_array] (undef) resend # If any of the headers matches one of these regexps, then the # message will be bounced for review. taboo_headers END /^Content-Type:.*multipart.*/i /^Content-Type:.*html.*/i /^Subject:.*listname-digest.*/i END This very effectively stops someone from clicking "reply" to their copy of the digest, quoting the whole thing, adding whatever they add, and sending the whole thing off for distribution to the whole list. Before their post is redistributed to the list, they must change the subject line, and if they remember to change the subject line my experience is that they will also remember to quote only the part that needs quoting, and to send their reply to the right address, etc. Bingo, no more entire digests being quoted and sent back out to all the list subscribers. (Also, no HTML or attachments will be allowed either, per the content-type filters, but that's a topic for another post.) If desired, one can also add a taboo_body setting and match for the digest header text that also should never be quoted back in a properly trimmed reply (see example below). That would catch the rare case (which hasn't occurred on my list yet, in over two years that I've been managing the list, with hundreds of subscribers and hundreds of posts a month) where the subject was changed, but the digest body was not properly trimmed when quoted. Yes, this sort of content filtering causes occasional posts that were intended to be sent to the list to go to the moderator for approval, and delays their distribution to the list. But all of those posts were sent in violation of the list rules (one of which is "change the subject line in your reply to the list, to the subject of the post in the digest you are replying to). My position is that when a subscriber doesn't follow the list submission rules, (as outlined at the top of every digest they receive, in the fronter material for digests on my lists), they shouldn't complain that their post didn't immediately get redistributed to the list. So... Question #1 Is this possible with mailman? Before I move my majordomo list to a new server with new mailing list software (mailman is the software I'm considering, obviously), it is a requirement that I can configure that software to do the same things I can currently easily do with majordomo. I don't want to waste my time trying to futz around with installing and configuring mailman before I learn that it won't let me do some of the critical things I need it to do. Question #2 (wait for it...) If it's possible with mailman, can it please be done to THIS LIST? observation You would think that someone who writes mailing list software would want to eagerly demonstrate how many things their software can easily do. One effective way would be to configure their software to do those very things on their own lists /observation jc On 09:59 AM 3/29/01, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Mailman-Users] RE:Mailman-Users digest, Vol 1 #1110 - 9 msgs Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 18:59:25 +0100 unsubscribe snip Send Mailman-Users mailing list submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
