But the original question is still, I think, unanswered.

If I had to do this, I would do the following:

1) Create a new Mailman list - all-subscribers.

2) Make a list of all subscribers to all lists.  I already have
   a shell script (with awk files) that produces a list every hour
   that contains lines:

 Tue Aug  4 13:00:01 CDT 2009
 --
 list1 us...@example.com
 list1 us...@example.com
 --
 list2 us...@example.com
 list2 us...@example.com
 --

   I use this file to see if a given address is subscribed to any
   lists.

3) Extract the e-mail addresses from that list, pipe through "uniq",
   and save the file.  You could do special processing to remove
   certain addresses from this file.

4) Use that file to

./sync_members -w=no -g=no -d=no -a=no -f  FILENAME all-subscribers

   to synchronize (silently) the membership of the all-subscribers list,
   which contains all the members of all the lists.

[Mailman-Users] Duplicate Messages

2009-08-04 Thread David Andrews 
I have a problem, and don't know if there is an easy or viable 
solution.  I run a bunch of lists for an organization, over 150 
lists, about 80 percent public and 20 percent private.  Periodically 
there are messages that need to go to everyone, or almost 
everyone.  However, people belong to multiple lists so many people 
get duplicate copies of the same message.


Is there any way to send to everyone, or sub-sets of everyone?  Is it 
possible to subscribe everybody to an announce-only list, at the same 
time they subscribe to their chosen list or lists?  Not sure I want 
that approach, but an option if possible.

Looks like what you want is a regexp value/clause as 'allowed senders' or
'accept posts from non-listmembers' (off the top of my head), assuming
that you discard/reject posts from non-senders, anyhow.

The thread starting at

probably explains things adequately, I'd suggest.

It's brad in our case :)

maybe it tries to set a very hight threshold, thus ALWAYS using ALL
MXes?

[Mailman-Users] Strange Wiki entry for Postfix Tuning

2009-08-04 Thread Stefan Förster 
Hello,

I've discovered that the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/rIA9
mentions to set smtp_mx_session_limit=100. While normally, I would
reject such a suggestion as outright wrong, I noticed that this were
comments made by Barry Knowles, and you don't just ignore hints from
someone with that much experience in mailing lists.

So, what is the reason for that setting? From man 5 postconf:

,[ man 5 postconf | less +/^smtp_mx_session_limit ]
| smtp_mx_session_limit (default: 2)
|
| The maximal number of SMTP sessions per delivery request before
| giving up or delivering to a fall-back relay host, or zero (no
| limit). This restriction ignores sessions that fail to complete
| the SMTP initial handshake (Postfix version 2.2 and earlier) or
| that fail to complete the EHLO and TLS handshake (Postfix version
| 2.3 and later).
|
| This feature is available in Postfix 2.1 and later.
`

While I can certainly imagine larger sites having somewhere between
five to ten MXs, 100 seems a bit... oversized.

Any hints/insights are really appreciated.


Cheers
Stefan
