[Mailman-Users] what constitutes spam?

2012-04-26 Thread Anne Wainwright
Hi,

I recently sent an invite to an unknown third party. The invite came
from my mailman list, we gave full particulars of who and where we are.
We specifically advise that they are not at this stage subscribed to
anything and will have to follow the detailed instructions (ie confirm)
if they want to join the list. The third party is in the same trade as
us, and deals with the same specialities, a third party customer had
given me their address in good faith.

This week my ISP contacts me with an upstream request from the national
backbone provider to in effect desist from sending spam.

Looking at the email returned, it was to an @yahoo address,  spamcop
seems to have detected spam on the basis of it being a mailman message,
I am not certain that it was not initiated by the recipient but the
official complaint originated from yahoo it seems (who should surely
know better).

As I said in my reply, this is hardly spam, I did not send it out to
half a million addresses purchased on a cd. This makes a mockery of
genuine spam prevention efforts when one email from a genuine address
can be allowed to cause this. It 

I don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill, but what can I do

considered fair game for spam detection software and humans alike?

From your first sentence sent an invite to an unknown third party
sounds to me like a reasonable definition of spam. Generally invites
are used when the person has done some positive action that makes you
believe they might like the mailing and shows a willingness to have
contact with you, something like registering on your website. Another
person giving you their email address is normally NOT good enough of a
reason for you to send them the invite. Protocol would be for that third
party to contact the prospect directly (if they really did think that
your list might be worthwhile for them) and point them to that list. One
key factor here is that YOU are an unknown to the person you sent the
invite to, and one should NEVER follow a link or reply to an email from
an unknown.

This sort of spam report tends to come because the person receiving the
message has themselves hit the this is spam button, and them pressing
it is a reasonable sign that you had over stepped the bounds by sending
them the message. It is also quite possible that Yahoo has received
multiple complaints (the one being quoted being an example), and this is
what has prompted them to contact your ISP with the complaint.

You sent out an Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) which, to most
people, constitutes SPAM.  Whether you sent it to one person or one

[Mailman-Users] CheckdB sending double msgs

2012-04-26 Thread Frank Bell

Hi,
We are running version 2.1.12 on Redhat.
We have checkdbs running at 8AM each morning as mailman, it is not in 
the cron of root or any other user.
We have alias-mgr set as administrator for a number of lists, and no 
moderator has been set.
checkdbs is sending out double moderator requests for just those lists 
that alias-mgr is the admin for.

Any thoughts as to how to troubelshoot OR an explanation.
NOTE: all our settings and owners and moderators are exactly the same 
from the previous version.


Thank you,

Okay, so first off, you did send the message unsolicited.  That is generally 
considered to be one of the most basic hallmarks of spam -- the recipient got 
something that they never asked for.

If you had a prior direct business relationship with that recipient, and they 
had expressed interest in being on your mailing list at some point in time in 
the past, then you could potentially claim that the message was not spam.  
Outside of that scenario, you fail test #1 -- go straight to jail, do not pass 
Go, do not collect $200.


That said, there are a lot of clueless Yahoo! customers, many of whom have 
actively asked to be on mailing lists that are hosted on python.org using 
Mailman, and yet they still do stupid stuff like clicking on the THIS IS SPAM 
button when the message in question was a regular message from the list that 
was posted as part of a discussion that they themselves were participating in 
-- clearly not spam.

If I were actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the python.org mail 
system, given the amount of complaints like this that we continue to get from 
Yahoo! on a daily basis, I would be strongly inclined to simply ban all 
subscriptions from addresses at yahoo.com -- just like many mailing list 
administrators used to do for aol.com.  Yahoo is just too poorly administered, 
there are way too many clueless users, and the company doesn't begin to bother 
to educate their users as to when they should not click the THIS IS SPAM 
button.


However, the fact that Yahoo! is hopelessly clueless does not absolve you of 
the crime that you freely admit that you are guilty of.

If you wish to persist in your spammy ways, then we can make sure that your 
address gets unsubscribed from this list, and that your domain gets banned from 
sending e-mail to python.org.

[Mailman-Users] options to change URL structure?

2012-04-26 Thread David
URL architecture is a concern to me because the URL should be a permanent
address and it should not be overly complex or ugly.

In a standard Mailman implementation, we see URLs similar to this:

http://server.example.com/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ourlist/

In a cpanel installation we see URLs similar to this:

http://server.example.com/mailman/options/ourlist_server.example.com/

I'm on a cpanel implementation. We are the only domain on the VPS. It is
not a shared server. Is it possible to achieve a URL structure like this
(with simple list name and no cgi-bin segment)?

Actually, in a standad source install of Mailman, you won't have the
cgi-bin/ directory in the path. That's from a 3rd party package or
someone who went out of the way to do that.

Not if you use cPanel's Mailman and cPanel's list creation. It might be
possible if you create lists with bin/newlist. You'd have to experiment.

As far as the cgi-bin/ segment is concerned, you don't need it. You
don't even need the mailman/ segment if it wouldn't create conflicts to
drop it. This is all controlled by the list's web_page_url attribute set
at list creation time from the lists web host and DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN
and Mailman's ScriptAlias or equivalent in the web server.

 Hi,
 Perhaps i should provide my details maybe i could get help herei
 really
 wish to keek the vpostmaster frontend(because of the ease of

 my /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py and /etc/postfix/main.cf . Kindly help!
 
 http://pastebin.ca/2139462


 If I understand correctly what the situation is, your list mail is
 being rejected by the incoming MTA at SMTP time and never being
 delivered to Mailman. Thus, your mm_cfg.py is not relevant at this
 point.

 Yes exactly that is the problem and thank you for telling me tht mm_cfy.py
is not the issue


 Also, the output of 'postconf -n' is generally much easier for those
 who would help you than is the entire main.cf.

 Here is the output below:
admin@mydomain:~$ postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
append_dot_mydomain = no
biff = no
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
config_directory = /etc/postfix
html_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix/html
inet_interfaces = all
mail_name = mydomain MAIL SERVER
mailbox_command = procmail -a $EXTENSION
mailbox_size_limit = 0
mydestination = lists.mydomain.net, localhost, localhost.localdomain
myhostname = mail.mydomain.net
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [:::127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix
recipient_delimiter = +
relayhost =
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks
permit_sasl_authenticated
permit_auth_destination check_policy_service unix:private/vpm-pfpolicy
reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtpd_use_tls = yes
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman
virtual_mailbox_domains = pgsql:/etc/postfix/vpm-domains
virtual_transport = vpm-pftransport


 That said, there is nothing much in main.cf that would indicate a
 problem except that the vPostMaster stuff beginning at line 48 in the
 pastebin is probably the issue, but exactly what the issue is can't be
 determined without knowing what's in /etc/postfix/vpm-domains and
 probably what's in master.cf for the vpm-pftransport.

 Here is output of /etc/postfix/vpm-domains
user=postfix
password=fd483c8dc339ea19188aa69e8ae668a3
hosts=127.0.0.1
dbname=vpostmaster
table=domains
select_field='X'
where_field=name
additional_conditions = and active = 't'


There's probably an entry in the 'domains' table for the lists
domain which needs to be removed.


Here is the master.cf.vpostmaster : http://pastebin.ca/2140584  However i
think its using the default master.cf as it wrote some vpostmaster stuffs
there. Here is the master.cf http://pastebin.ca/2140584


Those are the same URL. I note however tahe there is a mailman
transport defined using postfix_to_mailman.py. Is this how you were
delivering to Mailman. Is ther (or was there before) an entry in
transport maps (possibly /etc/postfix/transport) mapping the lists...
domain to the mailman transport? Your current postconf -n shows no
entry for transport_maps

If in fact, you want to use postfix_to_mailman.py, adding

transport_maps = hash:/path/to/transport

making sure that transport contains an entry like

lists.mydomain.net   mailman:

and running

postmap /path/to/transport

may solve your porblem.


Based on your prior post, I would guess that mail to the
 lists.mydomain.net domain is being routed to vPostMaster and
 vPostMaster doesn't know how to deliver to Mailman.

 Exactly! how do i get to route to the right domain??


Ask the right question on the vPostMaster list.


 The response you got from a vpostermaster list said:

  You'll have to make sure that the domain that is used for the list e-mail
  is not managed by vPostMaster; without the vPostMaster integration, I
  don't know of a way to get Postfix to deliver both to regular accounts
  and lists in the same domain.


 That says that your lists should be in the lists.mydomain.net domain
 and only list mail should be addressed to that domain, i.e. no local
 user addresses in that domain, and that domain should not be managed
 by vPostMaster, i.e. it should not be in /etc/postfix/vpm-domains.

 Yes the domain is not there at all, but and that is why in the error i get
no such domain message


I can't help with any vPostMaster specific configuration.

Hi.

To my knowledge, this list is english only.

I think this is dealed with in the FAQ :
http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030547

Basically, replacing the list by the recipient in the To: field is not

Yet, what you can do is allow Bcc posting and post with the list

First, make sure all the owner notifications on the Bounce processing
page are set to Yes.

If you have access to Mailman's logs on the server, look at the
'bounce' log.

If not, the only way to know is a user is bouncing without waiting for
the user's delivery to be disabled is to visit each user's options
page (say from the web admin Membership list) and see if there's a
bounce warning on the page.

Also, if you do have access to the server, you may be interested in
http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/get_bounce_info.py.

 See FAQs at http://wiki.list.org/x/mIA9 and http://wiki.list.org/x/lYA9
 .


I read the FAQs. I could use a bit more help. Here are my settings now.

# cat Defaults.py | grep _URL_
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'cloud.example.com'
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/'
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

# cat Defaults.py | grep _EMAIL_
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'cloud.example.com'
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)


mm_cfg.py is empty except for the personalization options I set:
OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION=1
VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES=1

Based on this, my guess is that I will revise this line as so:

DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/'

Is there anything else I need to change?

I'm a little confused by not seeing the expected URL subdomain.example.com.
Our list is l...@subdomain.example.com; we don't use
cloud.example.com(there's no MX record for it).

# grep subdomain *
returns no matches in the folder where the config files reside
(/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman)

I tried it and it didn't work as expected. I get a 404 error when clicking
on the new list from the mailman/admin page. (The new list is listed on

Also, I'm used to having to edit /etc/aliases and run postalias

differently. I haven't found the docs on that yet.

 The problem is the mailman segment in the url. I changed this value:
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/'

But the admin pages for my new list are still found at
subdomain.example.com/mailman/admin/listname

The link to the new list that is shown on the /mailman/admin page points to
subdomain.example.com/admin/listname and this gives a 404.

Apparently I need to change another setting. BTW, to avoid having to run
fix_url.py (since I don't know that script well), I just deleted my list
and ran newlist again.

My other lists are still accessible at
subdomain.example.com/mailman/admin/listname. Once I get all the options
changed, I assume I'll have to fix those lists with fix_url.py. I'll cross
that bridge once I get there.

Yes. You Probably have in the apache config

ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/cgi-bin/

You could change that to

ScriptAlias / /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/cgi-bin/

But that would probably preclude anything but Mailman CGIs being
accessed on your server. I'm not sure of this and I'm not an apache expert.

I would probably add several lines of the form

ScriptAlias /xxx /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/cgi-bin/xxx

where xxcx is

adminconfirm  edithtml  listinfo  options  rmlist  subscribe
admindb  create   private  roster


 I'm a little confused by not seeing the expected URL
 subdomain.example.com. Our list is
 l...@subdomain.example.com; we don't
 use cloud.example.com (there's no MX record
 for it).


That's a cPanel thing. If you're going to use bin/newlist to create
lists, I would replace 'cloud' by 'subdomain' in DEFAULT_URL_HOST
(assuming that's tyhe web domain too) and DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST.


 # grep subdomain *
 returns no matches in the folder where the config files reside
 (/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman)


strings /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists/*/config.pck |\
 grep subdomain

will probably find a few.

Exim does not use aliases to deliver to Mailman. See

router and transport are different because of remapping
l...@example.com to the list_example.com list name.

 You could change that to

I did not know what to do with these lines so I left them alone:

Alias /mailman/archives /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/public/
*REMOVE* Alias /mailman/archives/
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/public/

*REMOVE* Alias /pipermail/
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/public/

I restarted apache:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart

I collected all my changes in
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py as shown below:

from Defaults import *
OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION=1
VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES=1
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'subdomain.example.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'subdomain.example.com'
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/'

I restarted mailman: /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/mailmanctl
restart

...and there was no change in behavior. It's like I didn't make any changes.

so I reviewed the FAQs (including
http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030616)

I also did:
$ ./bin/rmlist -a cleanurl
$ ./bin/newlist --urlhost=subdomain.example.com cleanurl

I still get a 404 on subdomain.example.com/admin/cleanurl

As before, the URL subdomain.example.com/mailman/admin/cleanurl still works.

Apparently, I have missed some settings or not restarted a service that
should be restarted. To check, I did :
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

It made no difference.

Thanks so much for your help!

Interesting info: your get_bounce_info script, Mark, runs fine on the new
list, but it fails with list not found on the prior lists. I plan to fix
the urls on those. But the funny thing is that the webserver is still
serving those old lists fine and the new list gives a 404 at the expected
URL.

I tried one more thing:

http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/11_30/WHMDocs/RestartServices
# /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv httpd
Waiting for httpd to restartfinished.
httpd (/bin/sh /etc/init.d/httpd start) running as root with PID 24827
(process table check method)
Apache successfully restarted.

It didn't make a difference. I still get a 404 at the expected URL and
things still work at the old URLs.

Those are the same URL. I note however tahe there is a mailman
transport defined using postfix_to_mailman.py. Is this how you were
delivering to Mailman. Is ther (or was there before) an entry in
transport maps (possibly /etc/postfix/transport) mapping the lists...
domain to the mailman transport? Your current postconf -n shows no
entry for transport_maps

If in fact, you want to use postfix_to_mailman.py, adding

transport_maps = hash:/path/to/transport

making sure that transport contains an entry like

lists.mydomain.net   mailman:

and running

postmap /path/to/transport

may solve your porblem.



Based on your prior post, I would guess that mail to the

lists.mydomain.net domain is being routed to vPostMaster and
vPostMaster doesn't know how to deliver to Mailman.

Exactly! how do i get to route to the right domain??



Ask the right question on the vPostMaster list.



The response you got from a vpostermaster list said:
