Re: [Mailman-Users] Newbie question
The aliases from Mailman point to an application. So all mail going to a list is handed to Mailman's posting application and the application will either hold the post or pass it out to the list (depending on the rules you have setup for the list).

[Mailman-Users] Bumped from the list
Mailman owner, After a success subscription last week and reception of messages from the list for two or three days, I realized yesterday I was unsubscribed from the list without notice. My assumption I was bouncing. If that's true, is it possible to tell us why we are bouncing. I can't fix the bounce if I don't know what's broke? Is it possible to get a warning before to be droped?

[Mailman-Users] list-bounces address - how to change
Every time a message is generated from mailman (e.g. when an autoresponder is sent to a poster), the from address is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] How do I change that because it really is a misnomer - the message hasn't bounced, it is merely an administrative message.

[Mailman-Users] Creating lists based on a template
I have searched the list archives for an answer, but haven't had much luck finding anything. I have multiple lists - one for each grade in our elementary schools, one for each grade in our high schools and some other lists that have for the most part the same attributes (Moderation on, don't send password monthly, etc.) Is there a way to setup one list and copy the attributes to my other lists? We don't have too many that I can't login to each one via the web and make the settings, I just think I could save a lot of time doing it the other way.

Bounces go not to "explicit reply-to", but to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you are a user of a web-hosting with cPanel (which uses Exim
and Mailman 2.1.3 changed by cPanel authors) then you can edit
/etc/valiases/DOMAIN (for example /etc/valiases/example.com ).
That file is owned by your username, so you can overwrite it.
If you have shell (SSH) access and the web-hosting uses Linux
then you can use "pico" editor. If you haven't shell access then
upload two scripts to your public_html/cgi-bin/ and chmod them 755 or 700
(specify your userid and domainname instead of "USERID" and "DOMAIN"):
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$| = 1;
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
$| = 0;
open( STDERR, '>&STDOUT' );
$_ = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
if ( m{[^\w\.\@/-]} or m{^home/USERID} or m{/\.\.?/} or m{^/} ) {
print "invalid parameter\n";
}
else {
if ( open( IN, "/$_" )) {
while ( ) {
print;
}
close IN;
}
else {
print "open failed: $!\n";
}
}
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$| = 1;
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
open( STDERR, '>&STDOUT' );
$from = '/home/USERID/va';
$to = '/etc/valiases/DOMAIN';
if ( -e $from ) {
print `cp $from $to`;
print "\ncp exit status: $?\n";
if ( unlink $from ) {
print "\ndeleted\n";
}
else {
print "\nerror deleting\n";
}
}
else {
print "doesn't exist\n";
}
Lets assume that your domain name is example.com and you named
these two scripts view.pl and replace.pl . Enter in a browser:
http://example.com/cgi-bin/view.pl?etc/valiases/example.com
then Save As, make an unedited copy,
in the line beginning from "LISTNAME-bounces:" replace all what
is after the colon and the blank by your email address, upload the edited
file to your FTP root directory under the name "va", enter in a browser:
http://example.com/cgi-bin/replace.pl
After you finish experiments, upload unedited copy and again
invoke second script.
Since about February 22 cPanel several times regenerated LISTNAME-*@ aliases
(during cPanel updates?). If that practice continues then your changes
will be lost. So check from time to time (via SSH or by view.pl)
that your changes in /etc/valiases/DOMAN remain in effect.

[Mailman-Users] Tieing Mailman to Spamassassin
I have a new mailing list that will likely attract spammers. I need to tie this in to my spamassassin installation and am not quite sure how to go about doing it. Here's my situation: My mail server configuration is postfix-courier-imap with mysql authentication. I use virtual domains in postfix, and to enable spam filtering I have maildrop installed and use a maildrop filter to pass email to spamassassin for analysis. This allows me to do spam control on a per-domain basis. If I want spam control on a particular domain, I set the postfix transport to "maildrop"; if not I set it to "local". It works well, but have never used it for mailing lists. I was hoping that I would be able to use the same method with this new mailman list. The domain is in fact dedicated to the mailing list, and no other email will be routed through it. To try it, I assigned the transport for that domain to "maildrop" and created mail filter files for each of the mailman aliases. In the filter file for the actual mailing list, I put in the command to pass the mail through to spamassassin. It doesn't seem to work. The email gets processed through the list as if it hadn't been processed through spamassassin. I'm guess that this is exactly the case; that since the mailman aliases are not real email accounts, the mailfilter files aren't even being looked at. Am I wrong? Or is there a better way to do this?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Bumped from the list
I too realized today that the list had been awfully quiet for a few days. Unusually quiet. When I tried to log into the list's web interface for my account at python.org, it told me there was "no such address subscribed to the list" ! Again, my lack of receiving messages started on or about March 1. So, what the heck happened?

Oh great, now I am also getting "bounce" messages directly. What the heck happened to this list in the last few days? > Sorry.

[Mailman-Users] Archive - HTML - Line Display
We have a program which sends a transcript of a chat session to a mailing list. If you view the archives of the chat list via the web something interesting happens, or doesn’t happen, to the test. There are no wrapping of long sentences and paragraphs. For example “Please note that you are entering a co-browsing chat service. All information displayed on your browser will be in view of the librarian, and vice versa. To ensure your privacy, we advise you not to browse to any web pages that you do not want the librarian to see during this chat session.” Appears as a single line and you must scroll to the right to read it on the screen. Is there a setting that I can use to force the word wrap?

[Mailman-Users] Global filter
How do I setup a global spam filter to discard any message, "sent to a mailman mailing list", that has the subject that contains the words: e-mail I what to discard them all, and not put them on hold. What would be the syntax in the "mm_cfg.py" file to do this. I'm using mailman 2.1.4 with Postfix. -- Kory Wheatley Academic Computing Analyst Sr. Phone 282-3874 # Everything must point to him. -- 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/
