Re: [Mailman-Users] line feed issue with subscribeack.txt for one-way list

 I've been using mailman for several lists very successfully so far, and

 welcome messages.

 but when this welcome message is received by a new subscriber, the end

I think the text files are wrapped by default.  But another of
the defaults is to honor leading whitespace, so you might try
prefixing each of the lines you don't want wrapped with a space.

[Mailman-Users] Redirect message from moderated group to unmoderated group

2004-04-24 Thread Charles A. Crayne
I run a moderated and an unmoderated list which have about a 90% overlap --
the other 10% being those who wish to avoid the flame wars of the
unmoderated list. If someone flames the moderated list, I would like to
allow it to be posted to the unmoderated list, but not to the moderated
list.

I would prefer a solution which does not require me to re-implement it on
each new release of mailman, but if this is not possible, I would
appreciate as detailed as possible a response on what I need to change.

[Mailman-Users] Getting caught by SPAM Filters because of Mailman handoff

2004-04-24 Thread Lloyd F. Tennison
Companies are now starting to block Mailman lists (among others) 
because of the way the headers are sent out stating the hand-off to 
the server:

Received: from localhost.localdomain ([127.0.0.1] 
helo=mail.python.org)
by mail.python.org with esmtp (Exim 4.22)
id 1BH7Kx-0001vz-7S; Fri, 23 Apr 2004 16:31:51 
-0400


Anything with that format - they are marking as probable SPAM

Any thoughts on how to zap?

Also, as I mine is an announce only list - it would be nice to be able 
to zap the other received from headers and show the message as 
coming directly from the server. One webmail program does it - but 
it cannot send HTML.

On Fri, 23 Apr 2004 00:28:22 -0600, Space Coyote scribbled down:
 I am having trouble having anything show up on my lists.  I am receiving
 the mails as forwarded by sendmail, all of the aliases are working.  the
 mail log has none of the typical gid problems.  Everything looks like mail
 is being sent out.

Without any logs - nobody knows what's going on. Mailman logs quite
comprehensively, so see if you can see the mail being sent out and
received by the MTA having been processed by Mailman, see if the mail is
actually getting accepted by Mailman.

It'd help a great deal if you pinpoint exactly where the mail is getting
held up.

The following FAQ entries might help you: 
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#1.7
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#3.14

 Looking at the system log file gate_news is being restarted by cron every
 five minutes.  I cannot find any cron processes running though when I
 perform a ps -aux | grep cron except the deamon.  None of my mailman logs
 are being populated except the subscribe list.

I'm unsure as to what you mean by 'daemon', are Mailman's qrunner
processes running?

 My mm_cfg.py file appears to be empty but my Defaults.py contains what I
 need it to.  What am I missing?

You should not use Defaults.py to configure Mailman, instead copy and
paste what you need out of Defaults.py into your mm_cfg.py. The reason for
this is that if you upgrade your version of Mailman, your site
configuration will be completely and irreversibly overwritten.

This is not because of Mailman, this is because they misconfigured their 
spam filter. We do run SA and others filters and I usually put all mailing 
lists we receive in the whitelist, but somehow I forgot to do it for this 
list. It's getting thru as clear ham and doesn't have any standard spam 
tagging from SA. If it gets a spam hit, then it's because of the body, not 
the headers and usually it gets BAYES_00 (= ham) for the body.

Although I run the outgoing MTA and Mailman on the same machine, my

our globally published MX record for that server. Thus the Received:

 I fear that mail lists will become an increasingly common victim of 
friendly fire in the war against spam.  The better a system is at getting 
rid of spam, the more false positives it causes.  Additionally many spam 
filters are not configured intelligently, often because the person who 
installed the system just did it out of the box and walked away.
 While I am all for the Mailman developers making reasonable efforts 
to avoid mm lists being caught as spam, the only real solution if for the 
folks setting up the spam filters, and the folks behind such filters, to 
get a clue.  The responsibility must be on the receiver, not the sender.
 An example:  I just got a message to a moderated list.  It an 
automated message from the spam block system for someone who signed up for 
the list.  The message said:

Here's all you have to do:

1. Press Reply.
2. In the body of the reply, type in my AntiSpam Passcode contained in the 
graphical attachment.
3. Press Send.

 Right.  Like I want to do that.  Like I can even get the image in the 
attachment on a list that strips attachments.  The clueless person who 
signed up for the list will just have to wonder why he is not getting list 
mail.

 My suggestion to the developers?  Add a reject option to the pending 
page that reads You will not receive list mail because you are too stupid.

I think the text files are wrapped by default.  But another of
the defaults is to honor leading whitespace, so you might try
prefixing each of the lines you don't want wrapped with a space.
 

Thank you!  Adding a single whitespace at the beginning of the lines worked.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman 2.1.5 release candidate 2

2004-04-24 Thread Barry Warsaw
I've just uploaded Mailman 2.1.5 release candidate 2 (no, you never saw
rc1 :).  Since there are some fairly significant changes with this
version, I felt it was necessary to put out a release candidate to
hopefully prompt some additional testing.

If you're able to test the new version, that would be great, but please
note that:

  * The file format for on-disk messages in the qrunners has
changed.  Until now, each queued message was represented by two
files, a .msg and a .pck file.  With this version, all
information is kept in the .pck file.  This improves stability
and performance.  The upgrade script will attempt to convert all
your existing .msg/.pck files to the single .pck file, but there
may still be lurking problems with this conversion.
  * The pending database has been changed from a global pickle file
living in $prefix/data, to a unique pickle file per mailing
list.  The upgrade script attempts to determine which list each
pending request belongs to, but it isn't always possible to
know, so while it does the best it can, there may still be
lurking problems with this conversion.

If you upgrade you should do so only on a quiet system.  I recommend
shutting down Mailman, your MTA, and your web server before doing the
upgrade.  Please note any problems you have with the conversion scripts
(you may want to make backups first ;).

My thanks for not letting the above discourage you from testing the new
version. :)  I think the improvements in 2.1.5 are worth it, and based
on experiences running python.org, the new version should be quite
stable once installed.

I plan to release 2.1.5 final sometime next weekend.

[Mailman-Users] Senddigests fails with HeaderParseError

2004-04-24 Thread Larry Meehan
Greetings list members,

I thought I had sent this message earlier, but I don't see it in the 
archives.  Forgive me if you have already seen it.

-- Previous Message -

I did a search of the list on HeaderParseError and didn't find an answer 
to this.
I'm running mailman 2.1.4.

I just had senddigests fail due to this From:  line:

  From: =?Windows-1251?B?wuvg5Ojs6PAgyvDg8e7i8ero6Q?= 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I deleted the character set specification and the digest was sent 
successfully.
Has anyone else seen this?  Even if the charset is bogus, mailman 
shouldn't bomb.

The error I got was:
