[Mailman-Users] Subscription mail-back failure
I have a hosting client who is seeing intermittent failures of the subscription process. The user successfully fills in the subscription information, gets the subscription confirmation notice with the link and then tries to reply, and gets a bounce: Permanent Failure: 550_5.1.1_ecovillagenewsletter- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:_Recipient _address_rejected:_User_unknown_in_virtual_alias_table Delivery last attempted at Sun, 27 Apr 2008 01:41:20 - Reporting-MTA: dns; isp.att.net Arrival-Date: 27 Apr 2008 1:41:04 + Final-Recipient: rfc822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 550_5.1.1_[EMAIL PROTECTED] :_Recipient_address_rejected:_User_unknown_in_virtual_alias_table Diagnostic-Code: smtp; Permanent Failure: Other undefined Status Last-Attempt-Date: Sun, 27 Apr 2008 01:41:20 - Apparently, clicking the link is working, because hundreds of subscriptions have succeeded. I can only assume the only ones failing are ones that people mail back, rather than clicking the link. This is a fairly plain-jane installation. EcovillageNewsletter.org is defined as a virtual domain. I don't see where I should have configured anything special to enable this. Other mailing lists I host (also on virtual domains) )aren't having this problem. Any clues where I should begin digging? Because the -- all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculated, for example, is on the table. Whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those -- changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be -- or closer delivered to that has been promised.

Apparently the MTA has whatever virtual maps/aliases are required to deliver to [EMAIL PROTECTED] since I assume the list works, but it is missing those for [EMAIL PROTECTED] and how many others of [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], all of which should be deliverable in a plain-jane installation. This is in the MTA configuration and possibly involves Mailman since it appears that mail.bytesmiths.com is running Postfix and you may be using Mailman-Postfix integration for automatic alias generation. If this latter is the case, you need to configure the things discussed in both sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 at http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED]The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Handling Attachments and More
I have a Sun Cobalt RAQ550 with Mailman 2.1.8 installed, and running about 120 lists. We were having problems with the setup handling multi-part messages that contained text and html -- some mail programs reproduced stuff twice etc. Also we need to pass attachments. On the advice of someone I made some changes, content filtering settings below, and while the multi-part thing is a little better, it only passes text attachments. Need to pass .doc etc. I am obviously not an expert in this stuff, or I wouldn't be bothering all of you. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Should Mailman filter the content of list traffic according to the settings below? http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/admin/nfb-talk/?VARHELP=contentfilter/filter_content (Edit filter_contenthttp://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/admin/nfb-talk/?VARHELP=contentfilter/filter_content) No Yes Remove message attachments that have a matching content type. http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/admin/nfb-talk/?VARHELP=contentfilter/filter_mime_types (Details for filter_mime_typeshttp://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/admin/nfb-talk/?VARHELP=contentfilter/filter_mime_types) text/html Remove message attachments that don't have a matching content type.
