Re: [Mailman-Users] I sent out a mailing, how can I know it's done or not?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman and (really) large lists
As one stat, one of my lists of 10,000 is usually completed within 24 mins. I usually drop all filter scans during that time, plus I use 20 separate mail queues (sendmail) so too many don't pile up in a single queue and has to start over delaying send-outs. These 2 things have affected my speed more than anything else -- except maybe a custom footer which I avoid using.

Check the FAQ. 15,000-25,000 is only a moderately large mailing list, as far as Mailman is concerned. Has any of you done anything similar? Check the FAQ.

Re: [Mailman-Users] I sent out a mailing, how can I know it's done or not?
I usually look in ~mailman/qfiles/out and when I see 0, that's good enough for me, although I know there may be some stragglers in the MTA mail queues. But, MM is through with its part.

But, MM is through with its part. Prior to Mailman 2.1.9, the entry would be removed from the 'out' queue at the start of delivery to the MTA. For a large list, there could be some time before delivery to the MTA is complete. Beginning with 2.1.9, there will be a .bak file in the 'out' queue while delivery to the MTA is in process. You can look in Mailman's 'smtp' log for the message-id smtp for nnn recips, completed in tt.ttt seconds message. When that message is logged, Mailman's delivery to the MTA is complete. Prior to the logging of that message, there's no way to know how close to done Mailman is. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] new list, slammed and hosed...
I recently reopened a list for my wife's business. I have a few of my own lists. I NEVER get any unsolicited postings to my list, which has been up a few weeks, yet after 2 days of starting my wife's list, I am getting spammed, hosed and slammed by all sorts of dubious posts. Is there something that should be set in Privacy or otherwise, in my list versus the wife's new list, that it allowing all the crap in? Finally, both lists are moderated. What if i opened up my wife's list, and just let anyone post any old thing to it. Could opening it expose my server, upon which it runs, to danger, hacking, and other attack? Please advise.

I NEVER get any unsolicited postings to my list, which has been up a few weeks, yet after 2 days of starting my wife's list, I am getting spammed, hosed and slammed by all sorts of dubious posts. Basically, all it takes is one list recipient's computer to be infected with some spyware for the list addresses to start receiving mega spam. Is there something that should be set in Privacy or otherwise, in my list versus the wife's new list, that it allowing all the crap in? Maybe, maybe not. If Privacy options...-Sender filters-generic_nonmember_action is Reject or Discard on your lists and Hold on your wife's, that could explain the difference. Finally, both lists are moderated. What if i opened up my wife's list, and just let anyone post any old thing to it. Could opening it expose my server, upon which it runs, to danger, hacking, and other attack? Probably not, but why would you want to expose the list members to these posts? Much better to just discard them. Better still to catch as many as possible in the incoming MTA and not accept them in the first place. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
