Can someone help me? Or there is NO way out at the moment so I can stop trying. Can we create mailing list for sub-domain? Appreciate your reply.

[Mailman-Users] preserve feature
Hi, In mailman 2.1.5, when tending to held posts there is a 'Preserve messages for the site administrator' option under the 'Action to take on all these held messages.' If Accept, Reject, or Discard is selected the message gets removed from the Administrative requests page. Only if Defer is selected does the message remain there. Am I missing something as to the functionality of the 'Preserve messages for the site administrator' option?

[Mailman-Users] max_num_recipients variable question
Hello All, I have a question: Does max_num_recipients = 10 in the default configuration of the list, means that when I'm posting to the list I can additionaly write only 9 e-mails along with the list address and no more? If I'm writing more than 10 e-mail addresses along with the list address it goes to list admin approval? Is it for To Cc and Bcc alltogether?

[Mailman-Users] MIME mulitpart/mixed boundary re-arrangement causes digital signature to fail
Is it possible to make mailman leave the entire content of a message with untouched (example, multipart MIME messages) The Problem: When trying to send a digitally signed (SSL cert) email to a Mailman list, using Mozilla Thunderbird in this case, the recipients on the list would see the signature as Not Valid. We've pinpointed the problem to that Mailman would parse the entire email message and re-arrange the MIME header/content, thus rendering the signature invalid. What Mailman would change is to strip the newline character that's in between Content-Type:... and boundary, as the Content-Type:multipart/mixed header with newline is added by Thunderbird when attaching a file attachment (including vcard). While either having or not having the newline will conform to RFC MIME specifications(or so I was led to believe) thus making it a correct behaviour in that sense, it's definitely wrecking the signature. Example: Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=digitsdigits I've also tried to test with Outlook Express and it would produce the same result. So I think the easiest way to solve this is somehow configure Mailman to not rearrange the message while processing the message. On the server side, we're using Mailman 2.1.5 on a Fedora Core 3 system, and the mailman rpm is the one built by redhat. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
