I don't know why that would be a problem unless the problem was that
the list owner's posts were held because they were from a non-member.

Or maybe you're saying that the only problem was that the list owner
thought that posts weren't delivered because he/she wasn't receiving
them.

In general, there is no requirement that the owner be a member of the
list which is why the owner is not automatically a member.

Absolutely, but if they are, it is unlikely that the fact that they
come from Mailman or have Precedence: list is the reason unless the
user has somehow elected not to receive Precedence: list mail.

The next step is for the user to complain to Prodigy that he is not
receiving mail that he wants to receive, and to keep beating on them
until they stop censoring his mail or satisfactorily explain what the
problem is. You can help by providing the log messages that show the
mail was sent and 'accepted' at their end.

You could try contacting Prodigy too, but I think this kind of
complaint is more likely to produce a successful result if it coms
from their customer.

[Mailman-Users] Can't Delete Corrupt Subscriber Address

2006-02-25 Thread Tim

We are using Mailman v 2.1.4 on a Linux box with postfix and I am site admin.

We have a subscriber address that has /t on the end of it ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/t) 
which can only be seen when dumping the lists config file.  The subscriber 
address looks normal [EMAIL PROTECTED]) when looking for it using any other 
method (list members, etc).

I've tried to use reg exps using remove member with no luck and tried using the 
method described in the FAQ (3.13. How do I remove a user name or email address 
with an illegal character in it?) with no luck either.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Tim

With all due respect to Henrik, if I were you, unless you find
something obvious pretty quickly, I'd send him right back to Mandriva.
Then add Mandriva to the cPanel FAQ.  I've been around this loop with
Mandriva, and they claim to see nothing wrong with such hacks as a
matter of policy.  :-(

Oh, I disagree, it's not that bad a place to ask - How about Mailman FAQ 
#4.23?  http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#4.23

Three methods -

#1 is MTA integration

#2 uses patches - This is what I do, and it works great.  Unfortunately, the 
link http://jamesh.id.au is no longer good, so you will have to get the 
patches elsewhere.  Google spamassassin.py or see 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=640518&group_id=103&atid=300103
 
You will need to add the following to your mm_cfg.py:
#
GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(1, 'SpamAssassin')
SPAMASSASSIN_HOST = 'localhost'
SPAMASSASSIN_DISCARD_SCORE = 500
SPAMASSASSIN_HOLD_SCORE = 3
SPAMASSASSIN_MEMBER_BONUS = 0
# You can also do a similar thing for Clam if you get that patch
# Scan messages for viruses using Clam AntiVirus
GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(1, 'ClamScan')
CLAMAV_DISCARD = 0
CLAMAV_CLAMDSCANPATH = '/usr/bin/clamdscan'

#3  Procmail also works, of course.

Do you mean '\t', i.e. a tab character? Is the difference between '\t'
and '/t' a typo here or does it have something to do with your lack of
success?

If you try the '-f' option with list_members, you might actually see
the  between 'xxx.com' and the terminating '>'.


>I've tried to use reg exps using remove member with no luck


Do you mean bin/remove_members? It doesn't accept regexps, only literal
addresses, and it won't accept a '\t' escape - you'd need to give it
an actual tab character.

You could try

bin/remove_members listname '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'

where  represents an actual tab character

>and tried using the method described in the FAQ (3.13. How do I remove a user 
>name or email address with an illegal character in it?) with no luck either.


Try bin/withlist -l listname

and then at the '>>>' prompts type

adr = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'(this should be the actual address of course)
m.removeMember(adr)

If that throws an exception, try

del m.members[adr]


Then in any case type

m.Save()

in order to save the changed list, and finally type control-D to a
prompt to end the interactive session.
