[Mailman-Users] Spam check and bounced email's body
Hi,
I use spamassassin to filter spam. So I configured a rule in mailman
that detect
the string {Spam} in the subject of the email and then defer the email.
The problem is that mailman sent to owner of the list the email that is
spam with
the body of the email. So, spamassassin detects the body and mark the email
as spam, and mailman differ the mail sended to the owner.
My question is:
how can I configure mailman to not sent the body of the email in the
notification
to the owner of the list?
Many thanks
Oliver

Re: [Mailman-Users] Unable to execute a script when incoming mailarrives
Also, in some configurations (e.g., sendmail with smrsh) you may need to tweak your security options to make sure that somescript.sh is allowed to be executed in this way. This page talks about setting up smrsh. You can probably ignore the bit about reconfiguring sendmail, since we're assuming it's already set up that way: http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap22sec182.html - Patrick Bogen On 2/22/06, Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I added the following line /etc/aliases file, forumtest-dummymember: |/home/kannan/scripts/somescript.sh But the thing is it doesnt seem to call the script.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Displaying message sender

There is Emergency moderation of all list traffic. Yes/No on the
General Options page, but this is probably not it because owners don't
get individual notifications fo messages held for emergency.
You need to look at Mailman's vette log or at the held message in the
admindb interface or at the list owner notification and see what the
reason is for the message being held.
If the reason is post to moderated list the post is from a member
whose 'moderate' flag ('mod' on the admin Membership List page) is
set. If everyone is suddenly moderated, probably the list owner
inadvertently Set everyone's moderation bit, including those members
not currently visible On (Additional tasks on the Membership list
page).

I would have thought we'd got this all resolved in the thread that
begins at
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-January/042107.html,
but I guess not.
The newlist.txt file has the variable %(emailaddr)s. When a new list is
created, the message that is sent to the list owner includes the literal
text %(emailaddr)s, rather than the actual list address.
This is because the only names of this type that are replaced in this
template are the ones in the default template. Namely,
listname
password
admin_url
listinfo_url
requestaddr and
siteowner
I would have thought that this would work by default after installation,
but it does not.
If you want %(emailaddr)s in the template to be replaced by the list
posting address, you need to modify Mailman/Cgi/Create.py as follows:
Find this in the module
# And send the notice to the list owner.
if notify:
siteowner = Utils.get_site_email(mlist.host_name, 'owner')
text = Utils.maketext(
'newlist.txt',
{'listname': listname,
'password': password,
'admin_url' : mlist.GetScriptURL('admin', absolute=1),
'listinfo_url': mlist.GetScriptURL('listinfo', absolute=1),
'requestaddr' : mlist.GetRequestEmail(),
'siteowner' : siteowner,
}, mlist=mlist)
and add one line to it so it becomes
# And send the notice to the list owner.
if notify:
siteowner = Utils.get_site_email(mlist.host_name, 'owner')
text = Utils.maketext(
'newlist.txt',
{'listname': listname,
'password': password,
'admin_url' : mlist.GetScriptURL('admin', absolute=1),
'listinfo_url': mlist.GetScriptURL('listinfo', absolute=1),
'requestaddr' : mlist.GetRequestEmail(),
'emailaddr' : mlist.GetListEmail(),

[Mailman-Users] Protecting Administrators
I run about 80 lists via Mailman. My ISP uses a spam filtering program called PostIni. All mail goes through it, even though individual users may turn it off -- which I have. Apparently, things can happen that cause PostIni to block mail to a user, it seems to happen at times of heavy spam, but the ISP doesn't seem to know much more, and they say the Postini folks won't talk about it, they consider it to be proprietary info. Anyway, this is a long way to say that even though I am Administrator, I occasionally get disabled on one or more lists. With so many lists I occasionally miss the message that Mailman sends. Then I am off the list, and don't know it. Is there any way to protect a list subscription, despite bounces?

But, if you're sure Postini is the problem, you can bypass it for your list mail. For example, the MX records for value.net go to various psmtp.com (Postini) servers, but Postini has to deliver somewhere which in my case is mail.value.net, so any mail addressed to me at mail.value.net bypasses Postini completely. If you look at the Received: headers in your incoming mail, the one at the top (last one added) will give the name of the server that your mail was finally delivered to. Just use that host name in your email address to completely bypass Postini. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Spam check and bounced email's body
If you're using sendmail, I have a solution that I implemented that seems to work quite well: Put together a script (e.g., an init script in /etc/init.d, on Debian) that will run the following on startup: sendmail OPTIONS=-bd -ODeliveryMode=defer -ODaemonPortOptions=Name=MSA,Port=3276,M=E,Addr=127.0.0.1 Also, you'll need to adjust your mailman config so that it delivers to the new port (3276, above). In mm_cfg.py, add: SMTPPORT = 3276 (If my or your mail client chopped that up, it should be all on one line) This basically starts a sendmail daemon that listens only to localhost, and bypasses all filters and stuff to stick whatever it receives directly in the outgoing queue. If the mail to the admin is being delivered locally, this means it won't be scanned by spamassassin at any time. This also significantly decreased the time it took for a message to get out to a list, versus having mailman SMTP to the normal sendmail. Which is understandable, since it means that 90 messages weren't getting scanned by clamav and spamassassin anymore. :) - Patrick Bogen On 2/22/06, Oliver Schulze L.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Unable to execute a script when incoming mailarrives
Did you run postalias or newaliases or whatever the appropriate command is for your MTA to update the aliases.db file? Thanks Mark. I think i had written the restart sendmail in a script and that had not got executed. Restarting sendmail works fine. Thanks a lot guys :) On 2/22/06, Patrick Bogen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Also, in some configurations (e.g., sendmail with smrsh) you may need to tweak your security options to make sure that somescript.sh is allowed to be executed in this way. This page talks about setting up smrsh. You can probably ignore the bit about reconfiguring sendmail, since we're assuming it's already set up that way: http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap22sec182.html - Patrick Bogen On 2/22/06, Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I added the following line /etc/aliases file, forumtest-dummymember: |/home/kannan/scripts/somescript.sh But the thing is it doesnt seem to call the script.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman stripping the reply to quotes
Hi, I am using mailman I notice that when a mail comes to a user who is a part of a list and he replies almost all mail clients do a bottom quote / top quote. Although this is fine, from the mail client perspective, i would like Mailman to strip this bottom/top quote when sending emails. This is because am causing mailman emails to put in a common forum and hence when the bottom quote appears again and again it becomes very repetitive. Is there an option in mailman where we can stript just the bottom / top quotes? (although mail clients use top and bottom quotes). I am fine with the loss of previous thread information -- Regards, Kannan Ekanath -- You aint any expert, if you are - PROUD -- 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
