Re: [Mailman-Users] Challenge/Response
Thank you all for your insights in the Challenge/Response question. I am convinced this is not the way to go. In fact, I used some of the same arguments to the client when he brought it up. The problem remains, however: How do I prevent spoofing? In this case they have a real fear due to a board member who is soon to be ejected from the board and have organizational membership taken away. They feel he is capable (both emotionally and technically) of major disturbances on one or more of about a dozen mailing lists the organization maintains. What makes this even more of a challenge¹ is that the account is on a shared server. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
[Mailman-Users] Challenge/response
I have a client who is concerned about his list subscriber addresses being spoofed. In other words someone who knows the addresses of people on the list can set up a mail server and spoof the subscriber so he can post nasty things to the list. He would like to set up a challenge/response mechanism so that when [EMAIL PROTECTED] posts to the list, [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets sent a copy of the message and must confirm that he/she was the sender before it gets posted. I don¹t see any configuration in Mailman for this. Is it possible? BTW, searching the archives at mail-arcihve.com gets a 404 error. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
[Mailman-Users] Moved servers, lists not working
I moved a bunch of accounts from one server to another. Everything transferred, lists, archives, settings, etc. But when subscribers send an email to any of the lists they messages don't get distributed, or in the case of moderated lists, the messages don't go in to the moderator que. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
Re: [Mailman-Users] Munged addresses
Thanks. I'm not sure I feel comfortable dinking around in those files. I guess the user will have to live with those addresses for now.
