Re: [Mailman-Users] Are there any known exploits in 2.1.5 rerequestemail address and spamming?

The response from Mailman, which contains the original message, is sent to the innocent 3rd party. Actually that is not the case. It appears spam is sent to the request address and it ends up being sent to an innocent 3rd party without any mailman text at all. It is difficult for me to diagnose this as my mail server has been blacklisted by so many places I've had to disable mailmain completely. I saw lots of emails coming in to the request address and caught some of the identical emails stuck on my outgoing mail queue due to failure to send. What happened in between I cannot say right now. Do your MTA logs or the outgoing queue entries give any clues. I'd be interested in the timing of the messages to the -request address relative to the outgoing messages, and the envelope sender of the outgoing messages. I don't know of any way that Mailman would resend a message from the -request address without Mailman added text. Sorry, I was mistaken, there is a little mailman text in the message - we were spamming so much I got lost in all the messages. What follows is what I copied off the mail queue at the time: --===1172181569== Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The results of your email command are provided below.

I don't really want to start mailman up again as we cannot afford to be black listed since we do most of our business online and after a weekend of not spamming people we may get off some of the black lists. Current Mailman through 2.1.11 will behave the same. These issues will be addressed in 2.2. In the mean time, the best solution is effective spam filtering ahead of Mailman. Barring that, you can disable the -request and perhaps other support addresses and force everyone to use the web for subscribing, confirming, etc. That is a reasonable alternative I'll look in to. Also, see the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/NQAy. Thank you and sorry for the mistake suggesting there was no mailman text in the replies.

[Mailman-Users] posting returned mail
hi, on subscribing to my list the subscribers recieve the welcome messageto their inboxes. but when I post to the list I get a returned mail with the following error: * [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Command died with status 2:/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post listname. Command output: Groupmismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed asgroup daemon, but the system's mail server executed the mail script asgroup mailman. Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as groupdaemon, or re-run configure, providing the command line option`--with-mail-gid=mailman'. * what commands should I run when I log to SSH as ROOT?

Re: [Mailman-Users] massive unsubscribe
There have been like 600 unsubscribes at once, some from from people we know, all across the board as far as ISP's go, not all AOL, or even google or yahoo. Is there anything else I should check?

The people did not unsubscribe themselves. Things to check: (1) You have been (mis)identified as a spammer, and ISPs are bouncing your mail. This causes the mail you send to those ISPs (any user at such an ISP) to bounce, and the users get unsubscribed. (2) You have a lot of users at an ISP like AOL, which assume that you're a spammer until you take steps to prove otherwise. (But these ISPs tend to throw away mail that they don't like rather than bounce it, so the symptom would be not getting posts rather than getting unsubscribed.) There's more information about both of these issues, how to check and how to resolve, in the FAQ. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 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://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
[Mailman-Users] migrating Mailman
Hi, I would like to migrate my Mailman from one server to another server which has already Mailman running and some lists are created. I searched Mailman archives but didn't find any scenario like this. Here is detail: I have two servers (A and B) and on both Mailman is running with having different mailing lists. Now I want to stop Mailman on A and migrate all lists to Mailman B without affecting existing lists of B. Please let me know how to do that.
