[Mailman-Users] Automatic deletion of posts by non-members of a list
Is there any option that can be set in Mailman so that a message by a non-member is automatically deleted, rather that pestering the list manager about appoving/deleting it? I've just moved to a new site. I had Mailman on both sites. Since I've gotten onto the new one, I am getting these quite frequently. I rarely got these before. It's getting to be quite annoying.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Automatic deletion of posts by non-members of a list
There sure is, for Mailman 2.1.5 (and I belive earlier versions as well): go to Privacy Sender filters scroll down to Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined (near the bottom) set to Discard, yahoo no more pestering. Some other good options on that page others, look through and read each page in the admin section.

[Mailman-Users] bounces are not disabling accounts
I set bounce processing to on so that mailman will disable email accounts if they receive just once bounce. However, mailman is not disabling the accounts!

And should it tell me, the administrator of the bounce? I set all the notifications message options to yes. Also, the settings I set in bounce processing seem to be correct: * Should Mailman perform automatic bounce processing? - yes * The maximum member bounce score before the member's subscription is disabled - .9 * The number of days after which a member's bounce information is discarded, if no new bounces have been received in the interim - 7 * How many Your Membership Is Disabled warnings a disabled member should get - 0 * The number of days between sending the Your Membership Is Disabled warnings - 7 The settings seem allright to me, but I see no change in the Membership list section.

[Mailman-Users] Feature Req: Re-confirm subscription
If there is a way to do this, please let me know, I didn't see anything in the FAQ. I also didn't see a 'bug/feature' tracking system link anywhere? Is there a bugzilla or anything for mailman? --- Anyways, I have a suspicion that some of my lists' mails are not getting to their destinations. This could be that some people used their job email and no longer work there, could be that they are on AOL or hotmail (which seem to just silently discard), or could be just people that joined up and now 'junk mail or filter' the list because they're either to stupid or lazy to properly unsubscribe. Bottom line is that I'm paying per emails sent (via my quota on DynDNS) and I want to unsubscribe these dead members. It would be great if I could push a button in the web GUI (or run some command on the CLI) and mailman would reset every members status to 'unconfirmed' (or whatever it is), mail them a link to click (with some crazy code in it like when you join a list), and then mark the responders as 'confirmed'. Then after some period of time, say a week or so, I could then go into the GUI, click some link and see a list of all 'unconfirmed' people with the option to unsubscribe them all (without sending an email obviously, since the address is bogus). Extra points if I can schedule this task to occur every month, every six months, once a year, etc... (probably some 'day' interval would be sufficient here).

[Mailman-Users] FW: Install issues
Thanks Patrick, I have reinstalled on FC5 but still having issues. Postfix itself appears to be working. It sends and delivers email correctly. I have installed mailman. The web interface is up and running. I have added the URL and email host to mm_cfg.py and set MTA to Postfix. I also set up the cronjob for mailman. I created a list called rugby through interface and subscribed myself. The message to confirm subscription arrives just fine. I confirmed but when posting I get an error in mail log that says I don't exist locally. Now this is most likely because it can't find the mailman aliases file. This will sound stupid but I cannot find it either!! I assume that when you create a list through interface that it adds it to the alias file? I did run genaliases and that generated the following error Traceback (most recent call last): File ./genaliases, line 116, in ? main() File ./genaliases, line 106, in main MTA.create(mlist, nolock=True, quiet=quiet) File /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py, line 232, in create _update_maps() File /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py, line 53, in _update_maps raise RuntimeError, msg % (acmd, status, errstr) RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /etc/mailman/aliases (status: 1, Operation not permitted) I also have the mailman list.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Automatic deletion of posts by non-members of a list
Thus spake Brad Knowles [EMAIL PROTECTED], circa 5/25/2006 9:54 AM: Generally speaking, the recommended solution is to automatically reject such messages -- which informs the sender, and allows them to take appropriate action. In the old days, this was certainly true, but today, when 70-80% of all emails on the internet are spam, you may easily find that rejecting all those messages will (a) eat up a lot of your internet bandwidth, and (b) exacerbate the problem by telling the sender of the message -- which will, 90% of the time, be a forged address -- that their mail was rejected. I have a handful of lists set to reject, but most are set to discard. In my opinion, the poster should be subscribed to the list and set to receive mail; otherwise they should have no expectation that their message was distributed. peter -- Peter C.S.

[Mailman-Users] follow up: help request: new 1300 member list results inmostly bounces
After getting some advice from the list - specifically Mark - last week, I asked the hosting provider if there was in fact some limit on outgoing mail, or some other setting on their end which might be causing the bounces I'm getting. (see previous post for details, but basically, I set up a new mailman list with around 1300 subscribers and as best I could tell - without going through ALL of them one by one - most bounced. I did sample 30 addresses, of which 29 bounced). Below is the response from the host. They seem to feel it's all on the recipient's end. Does this make sense? or is it passing the buck? They suggest sending out 10-15 emails at a time - is there a way to set mailman up to do this? (and would there be a point?) Thanks again for your help. Nathan There is really no cap as to how many emails you can send out. However, the more you send out at one time the more likelly they are to bounce. It has nothing to do with Globaltap, it has alot to do with the servers that are recieving the email. There is a marker in the email that marks it as bulk. Most servers including Globaltaps often rejects those emails to protect their/our customers from spam. Comcast and aol also do the same thing. For the most part most mail servers use the same filters and black lists. So the more mail you send out at one time the more likelly that most of them will get rejected by recieving server and bounce. It also creates a possiblity that an entire ip block will get black listed. Which means that ALL your mail will get rejected, but also ALL other of our customers on the same ip block as you will get black listed as well. I'm sure you have a valid subscriber list, but the recieving server has no way of knowing that. For all they know you're just another guy peddling viagra. OK, there are options. 1. You can set up to send out no more then 10-15 emails at a time. 2. There is an organization that can certify your email as not spam. The ceritification is inserted in to the header of your email and then the bulk delivery should get accepted by most other servers, but still not all. And the cerification isn't free. Most hosting services frown on people who send out large bulk emails. It tends to cause problems for other customers and it takes alot of time to clean up the mess plus explain to other customers why they are not able to send mail for upto a week. In those cases you could be held liable for the clean up and loss of revenue. -- 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

Patrick is correct. If VERP_PROBES = Yes in mm_cfg.py, when the score reaches threshold, a probe is sent and the score is reset to 0. The user's delivery is only disabled if the probe bounces. But shouldn't it automatically disable the account? And should it tell me, the administrator of the bounce? I set all the notifications message options to yes. Also, the settings I set in bounce processing I don't know about the notifications, sorry. Here too, the notice is only sent for the probe bounce. If the probes don't bounce, there's no notice and no disable. Probes can fail to bounce for several reasons. If the bounce is full mailbox, the probe may be small enough to fit. The VERP like token in the probe may cause delivery problems. Also, there is the insidious problem that the probe token is a normal 'pending confirmation' with a lifetime of PENDING_REQUEST_LIFE (default 3 days). If the bounce is for some 'retryable' reason like a DNS timeout, server connect time out, etc., the probe may not bounce for say 5 days in which case the token may have expired and the probe bounce will never be recorded. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Making set delivery off default for new users
Thanks Mark, I came to the same conclusion and have made a hack that might do the job (emphasis on hack, not so much on the might do the job!) Members would sign up via a php form that later uses their username and password to set delivery off after they've confirmed.
