[Mailman-Users] an odd question
Greetings, I just recently installed Mailman software for mailing list management. AFAIK Everything's set up right, but I'm clueless I guess. First, the surroundings: I'm running sendmail on an RH 7.3 machine, called from avmailgate (an email antivirus prog). ALL of the other sendmail aliases seem to be working just fine. Now, the problem: none of the aliases actually work to get through to the list itself. sending mail to check-admin doesn't get to me, sending mail to check (the list), doesn't get to me, nothing gets to me whatsoever. going through /var/spool/maillog gives me the following results: Jul 9 14:36:14 wolfstream sendmail[18194]: g69JaEY18193: to="|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper post mud2k", ctladdr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (8/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=30017, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent Jul 9 20:39:23 wolfstream sendmail[7119]: g6A1dM907119: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=245, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, relay=root@localhost Jul 9 20:39:23 wolfstream sendmail[7120]: g6A1dM907119: to="|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner mud2k", ctladdr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (8/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=30018, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent yet it never actually GETS to me (??) Any thoughts or ideas n how to check and make sure this is actually WORKING, or what is going on here? -- TJW :Head tech, designer, bum:P Mud :http://dreamless.wolfstream.net telnet :telnet://dreamless.wolfstream.net 9275 OLC Pages:http://olc.wolfstream.net -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
[Mailman-Users] digests not going out with crontab

[Mailman-Users] Add-in
Somewhat obliquely related to the installation of a spam filter, how would I go about integrating a filter to reject messages addressed to a supported list wherein the number of quoted lines (as indicated by a ">" in the first column) exceeded either an absolute maximum value or a percentage of the number of total lines in the message? I can write the filter, but integrating it is where the challenge comes in... - MicroFirm: Down to the C in chips...

Re: [Mailman-Users] Subscribe/Un-Subscribe via e-mail, not web
Actually, a form like that could be dangerous; unscrupulous bum could subscribe enemy to multiple lists at once, and although the actual subscriptions would not activate, due to Mailman's required confirmation process, it could easily harass the receiver, and the list manager, for lists that require manager approval, or that send the manager notice of new subs/unsubs. That said, here are some links: Build a custom script for managing subscribers: http://subscriber.newfieldcash.com/ this is especially useful for lists that are on mutiple servers, running multiple listserve clients and is not specific to Mailman.

I'm not sure how you would accomplish the contradictory goals. If the archives
are public, that means they are on a web page that anyone can access. If anyone
can access it, then so can spam harvesters. Ergo, a sufficiently smart spambot
can retrieve email addresses from any public web page.
The virtual URL /robots.txt, defined by the Robots Exclusion Protocol, is
supposed to be able to tell any spider not to scan certain pages. I doubt,
however, that spambots will respect this courtesy. Worse yet, legitimate search
engines *will* respect the file, so you'll probably get scanned by spambots but
not by real search engines -- the exact opposite of what you would like.
I'd love to hear that someone has a better alternative, but the only way I can
think of to keep public archives from being harvested by spambots is to
obfuscate the email addresses therein. For that, see below...
>
> The second option you mention obfuscates email addresses only in the "list

I'm running Mailman 2.1b2, and the e-mail addresses *are* obfuscated in the
archives. My address appears as "courtney at 4th.com" in the archives; I just
went to one of my lists and verified this. Perhaps this is an added feature
in 2.1b2; I haven't tested it with 2.0.x.

[Mailman-Users] Wrapper woes
Ok, it took a good bit of tinkering, but I managed to get exim and mailman installed and working... almost. So far, everything works up untill I try to join a list. I get the email to verify, I reply, but then "Mail Delivery System" from my server computer sends me an email saying... This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim). A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: testlist-request@(edited) Child process of list_request_transport transport returned 2 from command: /var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper ... I would assume my wrapper is broken. Thats the right path, for the mailman that I installed through Debian's "apt". Earlier, I attempted to manually install it, but that failed with a different problem. The director/transport thingies weren't catching incomming email right, and I was getting a bounce on non-real addys. I've got the same exim config for both, the only difference is the path I point to for the MAILMAN_HOME variable. Also, both installs are still there, but only one is linked to operate in the exim config. Will it still matter if there's another? What does it mean that the wrapper returned 2? Help please?
