[Mailman-Users] Cleaning my mailing lists
I was nosing around the SpamCop website, because I was trying to report some b*stard that keeps spamming my main address, adn I found the following paragraphs *** In order to avoid spamming, mailing lists must implement a secure opt-in procedure. Many so-called opt-in lists are nothing of the sort. Beware anyone who wants to sell you lists. You will be disappointed. I cannot stress strongly enough the need for secure opt-in. Many web-sites now feature click-through confirmation, or checkboxes which must be unchecked. However the initial sign up is accomplished, whether on a web site, or by email - the final confirmation phase must include a random code which is emailed to the intended recipient. If that code is not returned by the user, you must not add the address to your list. If you do not follow this procedure, you will inevitably spam somebody, whether or not that is your intent. If you implement this type of secure opt-in, and one of your subscribers has still reported your mailing as spam, please gather all the data on the incident and report it. If you do not have a working opt-in process, you should clean your list by reconfirming all subscribers using a secure opt-in procedure as described above. The most important part of this confirmation is that if a subscriber takes no action, then that subscriber is de-listed. *** The bit that intrested me, was the final part, how can I reconfirm all my subscribers?? -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: archive@jab.org Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

RE: [Mailman-Users] How to kill the evil that is sendmail
Okay, I'm feeling the volcano part, and also the brutal killing of sendmails queue. Lucky for the sendmail queue, it's empty, but I will cut and paste that solution, and file it away in case of emergencies! How do I check mailmans queue? I checked running proccesses to see if there where any python related threads running over 0.1 percent, and there was none. (begining to like the volcano idea). The thing is, NO ONE else uses the box to send mail... they use a DIFFRENT box, and I've configured sendmail to ONLY accept connections on the same subnet as me, so I doubt that anyone is hacking my box from outside, and using it as an open relay. **thinks a bit, wonders if this is REALLY secure, any comments?** The ONLY job of this box is mailman. **Now I'm real confused** -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 6:29 PM To: Angel Gabriel Cc: Mailman Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] How to kill the evil that is sendmail On Wed, 25 Sep 2002, Angel Gabriel wrote: What I would like to do, is to get rid of all the email that sendmail is STILL strying to send.

Don't forget that with Mailman and sendmail (and, likely, any MTA) you are talking about -two- queues: Mailman's and the MTA's. I have never heard of sendmail attempting to send out messages that are not in -its- queue. Use 'mailq' to list sendmail's queue. Or, the direct approach is to look in /var/spool/mqueue (or whatever you may have configured as sendmail's queue directory). Also, no need to reinstall sendmail: just clean out its queue (there are nice ways to do so, and brutal ways, too; go ahead and use the brutal way (rm -f /var/spool/mqueue/*), since I think it'll help provide some stress relief, too :-) (And besides, if you do reinstall sendmail without cleaning out its queue, yes: it will just pick up from where it left off.) If both Mailman's and sendmail's queues are empty and the machine -still- retries sending old messages, you have a gremlin in the box, and you need to throw it into a volcano. (That should also provide a certain amount of stress relief.) Since real gremlins are quite rare, if in fact both Mailman's and sendmail's queues are empty and the machine is sending out messages every hour or so, something -else- is sending -in- new messages every hour or so. - Andrew Mailman Administrator - http://www.tux.org/mailman/listinfo/ -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/

How can I found out what caused this? The answer is you need to get at least 2 of the duplicates (ideally all the duplicates that reached a single address), with the full headers - specifically you need the received lines. You then compare the received headers on each one and work out where the paths of the 2 mails diverged. This could be:- - the original poster sent several copies (happens quite often) in this case you see the received lines are different at every stage - the senders MTA duplicated it (first - thats the bottom one in the message headers - received line is exactly the same, the rest are different). - mailman duplicated it (different received lines on the list delivery MTA) - the list delivery MTA duplicated it (subtly different) - someone's virus scanner reinjected it (they *must* die!!!) - someone's vacation mailer reinjected it (they must die and their whole domain be blocked - actually same applies for the virus scanner too).

Angel, For what it's worth... Mailman 2.1 is supposed to be able to use alternative backends (such as MySQL) to store user information. However, I haven't actually seen this working yet. Personally, I have given up on using Mailman for large broadcast-only lists. Mailman seems to do a lot of things based on the assumption that it's being used for an interactive list. Configuring it for broadcasting tends to be a lot of work. I use a custom-built Perl+PHP+MySQL thingy I wrote, for large broadcast lists these days. On a side note, if you are planning to send to a list of 100k+ addresses with a large number of bad ones, you had better be using something other than Sendmail. It *will* bring your machine to it's knees spawning a limitless number of queue running processes[1]. Good luck! :) - H Note: [1] If someone would like to contradict me on this point, I'd love to hear your argument, and see what config you suggest. Seriously, I really would like to see a solution. Please include more than MAX_DAEMON_CHILDREN, QUEUE_LA, or REFUSE_LA in your answer, since they do not seem affect queue runs. I'm using RH 7.3 and I have a DSL line @ 256k upload - I havn't even attempted to send messages to list anymore, because I can't even get the web interface to come up, it times out. I adjusted the cf files manually to show 3000 addresses per page, and STILL the pages time out. I'm thinking of using a diffrent application to send out my email.

Thanks for the prompt reply, and I'm talking to all the personal emails I've recieved!! It's seems that it is a matter of personal prefrance as to the MTA to use... which just left me stuck!! So, I'm gonna stick with sendmail, and add a little hack to stop all the DNS lookups.

Mailman should be able to pass all of it's messages off to Postfix in a reasonable amount of time. Then Postfix will spend a few hours delivering the emails to the right places. You may run in problems when a thousand subscribers can't remember ever signing up for your list, and all decide to unsubscribe at the same time. You are likely to get a situation where 10 different Apache processes and the Mailman queue_runner processing bounces, are all trying to get exclusive access to one huge userlist. This will all be exacerbated Postfix, Mailman and Apache all fighting for a share of the limited bandwidth. - H At 6:11 PM +0100 9/20/02, Angel Gabriel wrote: Okay, I'm sorry i've posted so much to the list recently, please forgive me!!

I have about 3k emaill addresses, that I want to put on a mailman list. These have been collated from a web form, and are stored in a txt file, one after the other. I attempted to add them via the web interface, but that seemed to mess up mailman, until I removed the list. Is there any other way to add the addresses? -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
[Mailman-Users] Auto Subscribe
Is it possible to have users automatically subscribed to my lists? I found that a lot of people do not understand how to send commands via email, and it is not possible for people to access my webservers at the moment. Basically, I would like to create the following scenario. User sends email to a address I set up. User gets subscribed to mailing list. I'm not worried about spoofed addresses, or bouncing addresses, or abuse. The people this list are for, can just about work thier mobile phones. Any help would be appreciated. -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
