[Mailman-Users] Using mailman with dial-up Internet access
I understand that it's perfectly possible to use mailman on a server that has only dial-up access to the Internet. However, I'd like to get a firm grasp of the downsides of doing this before I go to the effort of installing it. My setup is this: Linux box running Fetchmail, Postfix, Procmail, Qpopper, Apache. This sits on a LAN and access the net through an ISDN router. My plan was to have list messages go to a POP server at my hosting provided from where I would download them with Fetchmail, which would then forward them to user 'mailman' on this server. Any problem with that? Now, obviously I'm going to lose the web-based features for users, so it's going to be an email-only system. What I'd like to know is how much of a loss that would really be. I can get a list of the features I'd be missing from the manuals etc - what I really want to know is how important people feel this is - ie, a subjective response. Am I really crippling the system this way (and would therefore be better off opening a group on Yahoo), or would I be losing only moderately useful features? All informed opinions would be gratefully received. -- @+ Steve -- 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/
Re: [Mailman-Users] Using mailman with dial-up Internet access
Quoting Steve Mansfield [EMAIL PROTECTED]: My setup is this: Linux box running Fetchmail, Postfix, Procmail, Qpopper, Apache. This sits on a LAN and access the net through an ISDN router. My plan was to have list messages go to a POP server at my hosting provided from where I would download them with Fetchmail, which would then forward them to user 'mailman' on this server. Any problem with that? Certainly not, works like a charm. Now, obviously I'm going to lose the web-based features for users, so it's going to be an email-only system. What I'd like to know is how much of a loss that would really be. I can get a list of the features I'd be missing from the manuals etc - what I really want to know is how important people feel this is - ie, a subjective response. Am I really crippling the system this way (and would therefore be better off opening a group on Yahoo), or would I be losing only moderately useful features? All informed opinions would be gratefully received. At the end of the day it depands on various factors; a. what do you intend to use the list for? one way distribution list or interactive like this one? b. if interactive, then the question is whether it is a closed list or open to anyone who wants to join. Closed shouldn't be a problem, subscribe everyone upfront and then it's no problem. Public list needs to be advertised somewhere. c. hosting the list via dialup means that the response time between posting an email and getting the mail will obviously be longer and may cause frustrations.

I'm considering mailman for a couple of lists - one new, one already hosted on yahoogroups (but I don't like the advertising and scruffy HTML that comes with yahoo). One reason for considering mailman is greater ownership and access to the message archive, with the possibility to use it for web content, but in a format of my choosing. | b. if interactive, then the question is whether it is a closed list or open | to anyone who wants to join.

[Mailman-Users] Unauthorized Access to APPL Mailing list
Hello - APPL uses Jaguar PC as our web host and we have 2 mailing lists set up through their service. We use 1 of those mailing list for our electronic newsletter. When the newsletter went out today I received a call that when it was forward to several other people by one of our subscribers those that received the forward also received an unauthorized attachment that was pornographic in nature. Needless to say we are very upset by this incident. I did notice that on the public html page when I chose to view the mailing lists for APPL.ORG, there was an unauthorized list and none of our real lists were there. That unauthorized list is Immagina_percorsiumanisti.net. When I clicked on that list the public html was all in Spanish. Fortunately, when I did the same thing from the password protected administrative page, our real mailing lists were there. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

[Mailman-Users] couple quick questions - mailman on obsd
So I installed Mailman from ports on OpenBSD 3.5, and added the following to mm_cfg.py after from Defaults import * DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mailman.code404.com' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mailman.code404.com' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) yet messages that are sent out still reference localhost.my.domain. I restarted mailman via mailmanctl just in case that was necessary (I don't think it should be anyway), and tried reversing the order too. Nothing weird in the Mailman logs that I can find. Must be missing something dumb... anyone have any ideas? Also, I should know this one, but what is needed for Apache (1.3.29) to recognize the stuff in cgi-bin/ as executable without the .cgi extension? I don't see anything weird in the Apache config on a FreeBSD machine w/ a similar setup, yet if I go to the appropriate link on the new machine, it just spits out the contents of the file rather than executing it. Didn't see anything in the install documentation that suggests the need to add anything for this. In the VirtualHost container, I have: DocumentRoot /usr/local/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ ServerName mailman.code404.com ServerAlias mailman.code404.com UseCanonicalName off Options Includes Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Alias /pipermail/ /var/spool/mailman/archives/public/ Directory /var/spool/mailman/archives/public/ AllowOverride All AddDefaultCharset Off /Directory Since I want it to show up at the base domain, there's no ServerAlias.

I don't see anything weird in the Apache config on a FreeBSD ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/ In case it saves someone looking, it's /mailman/ /var/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ in Debian-Testing THANKS - I needed that too! - John -- 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/
[Mailman-Users] Problem with incorrect link to archives: It links to someone elses site!!
Hi, I'm not quite sure if this is a know bug or a configuration issue somewhere.. Problem is that the Go to list archives link points to a completely different site that I've never heard of. Note that this happens no matter how I set the archiving settings (archiving on or off, public or private, it makes no difference) Now my users are worried that users of this other site are having access to our mail. Any thoughts? The link is here: http://bkknights.netasia.org/mailman/private/list_bkknights.netasia.org/ And somehow this results in some San Fransisco based astronomers website that I have nothing to do with. Virtual internet worm hole? :-) It's possible that the SF based site is hosted on the same hosting provider as my domain is; that's the only connection I can think of.

If I go to the above link, I get to the list Private Archives Authentication page, presumably for your list. I can go no further without the e-mail address and list password of a subscriber. You should be aware that both domains netasia.org and sfaa-astronomy.org appear to be hosted by TOTALCHOICEHOSTING.COM and all four names bkknights.netasia.org, netasia.org, www.sfaa-astronomy.org and sfaa-astronomy.org resolve to the same IP address 66.36.242.244. I don't think you need to worry about the San Francisco Amateur Astronomers accessing your list archives because like me, they wouldn't be able to log in. Anyway, if I try to go to their web site, that's where I wind up. Virtual internet worm hole? :-) It's possible that the SF based site is hosted on the same hosting provider as my domain is; that's the only connection I can think of. As I note above, this seems to be the case. This is an issue for your hosting provider and/or your domain registrar to work out. It appears to be either a mistake or a misconfiguration of the web server at 66.36.242.244. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Rejecting Posts from some members
Hi, We have a need to restrict the senders of a list to a very small number of people. These people may or may not be members of the list. All other posts we wish to reject, how can this be acheived? At the moment, the following are set: default_member_moderation = no (no members set to moderation) member_moderation_action = reject accept_these_nonmembers = ['[EMAIL PROTECTED]','[EMAIL PROTECTED]'] generic_nonmember_action = reject [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a member of the list.
