[Mailman-Users] Loop with spoof
Dear Mailmaners, I recently found a loop when (I think) someone sent an email with a spoofed from/reply-to address. This appeared to be achieved by sending email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are using Postfix, and have the following Mailman aliases and virtual addresses set up: Aliases: somelist-bounces: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces somelist Virtual: [EMAIL PROTECTED] somelist-bounces In the end I turned off 'Send mail to poster when their posting is held for approval' and deleted the offending files from the /usr/local/mailman/qfiles/out directory. My questions are: 1. Is this loop an error in my configuration or a bug or oversight in mailman? 2. Is there a way of getting a list of messages in transit and if necessary deleting them. This mail had not yet arrived at the pending requests stage. Cheers Simon L.

[Mailman-Users] Two mailservers on the same machine?
Is it possible to run more than one copy of postfix on the same machine?

Adding more won't help because mailman will just use them up.

Re: [Mailman-Users] disguising e-mail addresses in archive
There are a couple, but none of them work great. I have used a small 4 line script to hide the addresses in some archives. IMO, the best method is to allow concerned users to sign up on a private list to have their email addresses expunged from the archives (and provide the alternative they want). Then you simply grep through the archives directory for their exact email address and replace that with the alternative. The sed command will do the job nicely On Tue, 2003-08-19 at 11:30, Eric S.

I think you'll be happier though if you move Mailman off to a separate server and run it from there. For bigger corporations I like to run three mailservers: external mail server - spam filtering and initial virus scanning, internal mail server - users, distributions, imap, pop, etc Mailman/mail server - (either internal or external) for dynamic lists and archiving Good Luck!

[Mailman-Users] Line wrap in archives
Hi all, I have found references (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg16335.html) to a patch that change the PRE to a P in the archives. But after almost an hour of searching I can't find the patch. I have been able to get rid of the long lines by putting the message into a form textarea, and it looks great - except for the PRE and /PRE tags. Any help appreciated.

Thanks, O. Mikhail The upgrade command lets you upgrade earlier lists to your current version. You need to backup your current install of Mailman 2.0.13 then install the latest version of 2.1. If you install over your current install (as opposed to installing in some other root location), your lists will be upgraded automagically, and some of the default settings will not be especially to your liking. PLEASE READ THE UPGRADE DOCUMENT THROUGHLY! Most folks do not read the upgrade document that comes with 2.1 and consequently have many problems - all of which are avoided by reading the upgrade doc. You will need flush your queues before upgrading. Also, you will need to kill the cron commands so that qrunner is stopped from launching every minute. After the upgrade, you will need to make sure that you are using the new crontab settings for mailman (which no longer have a qrunner being kicked off via cron). You should edit the mm_cfg.py file after reviewing the Defaults.py file, and setup your new defaults. There are some very different things in 2.1 so this is a very important step! Next create a group called mailman which you should subscribe to (become a list member, and restrict membership to this list), as all the errors, warnings, and bounces go here. Then you will have to start the Mailman service (mailmanctl). If you haven't created the mailman list, mailmanctl will NOT start. If you did a parallel install, you can now simply copy the old lists subdirectories over to the new ~mailman/lists/ directory (and don't forget about the archives!). On the fist access of each list, Mailman will automagically upgrade them. That covers the highlights. If you do the upgrade by the numbers, then all will go well and you will be done very fast!

No, you need to compile the .po file in a binary message catalog (.mo file) with msgfmt. You should edit your po file, then read man msgfmt and copy your created .mo file in place of the existing one in messages/de/LC_MESSAGES/ Thanks and best regards, Schoeppi Jens -- 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 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
