[Mailman-Users] Attachements
Hi all, I am using mailman 2.0.13 and if users are sending attachemnts (they are allowed to do that and I want to archive these attachments) these files are displayed as MIME streams. I want these files saved with links to it in the particular mail or a list of attached files or something like that... I searched with google about this problem and it seems that mailman 2.1 can handle this. Is that true? What do I have to care about if I make an update? How is the file displayed in the archive? Is there an how-to somewhere?

[Mailman-Users] mailman, postfix and number of emails ???
Hi, I am using postfix + mailman to hold my internal mailing lists. The hierarchy is like this: Internet - Postfix/Mailman Server - Mainframe - IntraNet All users have accounts on Mainframe. I have added few lists on the postfix/mailman. All lists have addresses like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now from my mainframe when I send a mail to such a list, it gets expanded on mailman and then mailman injects them one by one to postfix. Now, I have few lists with more 7000 to 1 users. I cannot put them on Mainframe because it overloads it and degrades the performance. Also I don't want so many mails to come from postfix as it chokes my Mainframe affecting other in/out going mails. I want mailman to send one mail per 20 users and I also want mailman so send this one mail at a rate of say one mail per second. I mean a somewhat delayed output is okey with me. Is thete any *smart* solution in between???

[Mailman-Users] List is posting only to itself (debian, exim, mailman 2.1.4)
Problem --- For some reason my list seems to send postings back out to itself, instead of to the list members. In other words, when I mail a post to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it sends the message back out to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Setup - Running Debian 3.0 (up to date) with exim v3.35, trying to get mailman-2.1.4 to work (I previously had 2.0.11 working with no problems from the debian binary package, but now I'm trying to upgrade from source). I'll call my domain a.com in this email and use the list somelist Outgoing email goes through exim. Incoming email for [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not use exim, it is pop fetched (via fetchmail) and sent through my mail filter which calls the mailman wrapper when it sees mailing list addresses. Troubleshooting --- 1) I send to the list 'somelist' with subject 'foo bar' 2) My filter sees the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subject foo bar and calls the wrapper (using the correct group) 3) I see the message added to the mailman archive mbox 4) logs/post sees the posting (and claims success) 5) logs/smtp claims completion of the message for my 3 test recipients 6) qfiles/ directories are empty. 7) My exim logs shows the mail from somelist-bounces going out to my 3 recips (And the message isn't sitting in the exim spool) But for some reason, instead of seeing three messages sent to my 3 test recipients, I get one message (with the expected subject of [Somelist] foo bar) that is addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (And of course, my mail filter calls the mailman wrapper again with this message as a posting, but then nothing else happens, it doesn't show up in the archives or logs). I couldn't find any settings that would cause this behavior, and exim is seeing the three recipients as the target of the email... So why isn't this being sent to my recipients instead of back to the list? More troubleshooting I read README.EXIM - but this doesn't effect me because I'm not using EXIM for receiving email, just for sending it out. (And we know this isn't the problem because you can see the filter calling the wrapper works from steps 1-3 above). Even though *some* mail was going out, I followed the troubleshooting instructions at the Mailman FAQ Wizard and found nothing wrong (except the lock that mailmanctl holds for qrunner which is supposed to be there since it's a daemon, yes?) I can 'su mailman' and send mail to the test recipients fine.

I want mailman to send one mail per 20 users and I also want mailman so send this one mail at a rate of say one mail per second. I mean a somewhat delayed output is okey with me. You can set SMTP_MAX_RCPTS (in mm_cfg_.py) to be 20, or any other value you want. Many MTAs will refuse to accept more than a given number of recipients per message, although the exact number of allowed recipients per message may vary by the site. If you set SMTP_MAX_RCPTS to be 20 and you have 10,000 users on the mainframe, then only 500 copies of the message should be sent by mailman to the mainframe. Note that postfix is very good at limiting the outbound bandwidth utilization so as not to overflow the receiving end, but that this can be tweaked somewhat. If you want to reduce this, you would need to modify the postfix configuration to reduce the number of parallel connections that are allowed. However, I believe that any attempt to apply rate limiting within mailman itself will be a major mistake.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman usage with different virtual hosts
Hello mailman users. I have the following problem. There are several different sites (virtual hosts) on my server with different administrators. I want to install mailman and give a posibility of mailing lists creation and management to these site administrators. In this case I couldn`t store all of these mailing lists in the same folder like /usr/local/mailman/lists because if administrator of one site (for ex. site1.com) created mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] then administrator of site site2.com couldn`t create a mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Because both of them must be stored in a folder /usr/local/mailman/lists/mylist. How can I store mailing lists in different folders for each site, for example in the home directory of site administrator? Maybe there is the way to store mailing lists in the folders with more complex names like /usr/local/mailman/lists/[EMAIL PROTECTED] The second question is how can I use the different mm_cfg.py config files for each site to create new mailing lists?

[Mailman-Users] Adding users via email - No confirmation wanted.
Is there any way for a moderator (or list admin) to add users via an email that doesn't result in a confirmation email being sent to the actual user before they are a valid subscriber? IN version 2.1.1 The options for subscription are; --- What steps are required for subscription? (Details for subscribe_policy) Confirm Require approval Confirm and approve --- Is there any option for NO approval (As long as the moderator (or admin)) is initiating this request ? We have a closed list (internal company list) that needs to be populated, we can subscribe them, but we cannot use the web interface), we need to use the email interface, but we do NOT want/need any confirmation sent to each user. Do we have any options??

RE: [Mailman-Users] Adding users via email - No confirmation wanted.
In membership - mass subscription you can select to not send a notification email and subscribe them. Users can goto the site, and enter their email to get their generated password emailed. -dan -Original Message- From: Darryl Harvey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 19, 2004 10:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Mailman-Users] Adding users via email - No confirmation wanted.

RE: [Mailman-Users] Adding users via email - No confirmation wanted.
Thanks, but as I said in the original message, I want to do this VIA EMAIL... Not via the Web interface, We want to have a admin/moderator that just add/deletes users, but does not have access to alter change anything else. Hence the email interface.. Light fingers touch things!!! So I repeat, can we do this VIA THE EMAIL interface..

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman 'Suspicious header' question
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Todd [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Allen Richmond wrote: I'm running into a continuous barrage of suspicious header messages [...] ...and the upstream admin staff have absolutely *no clue* how to eliminate the problem (!!). grep is their friend. :) Any ideas for a solution to this exascerbating problem? Look at Privacy options - Spam filters in the admin GUI. The suspicious header message is triggered by a match in the Hold posts with header value matching a specified regexp section. Perhaps someone has entered a common header there that's causing all your messages to get flagged. I have the same problem but it happens always with posts from certain list members. Something in their header that Mailman doesn't like... but for the life of me, I can't see what might be in there that is suspicious. It all looks quite normal.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Is mailman suitable ?

Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I have a special need for group of emails management, I need mailman users help to tell me if mailman matches my needs 1) Group definition A group is composed of members, if an email is sent to a group, all people from the group receive it Yes, no problem. 2) Subscription policy I want an administrator to be the only central person to be able to register/unregister someone in a group I have no need for subscription initiated by the user Yes, no problem - option for it. 3) Group composition As an administrator I would like to be able to register a user in a group, but I'd like also to put a group in another group I believe that can be down using the umbrella function. Seach the archives for more info on that. 4) Accessibility policy Let's say I have created groups A,B and C As an admin I would like to be able to set the 3 following policies group A policy : only members of the group A are able to write to group A group B policy : only members of the group A are able to write to group B group C policy : anyone on the internet can write to group C I think the only way is to have separate lists. Someone else correct me if I am wrong.
