Yep, I get the "Bug in Mailman version 2.1.20" error page.  This setup handles 
other attachments pretty well, just this particular person posts much larger 
files.  Below is the log entry, it looks like an out of memory condition.  
Perhaps I need to tune python itself?  Thanks for any clues.

[Mailman-Users] Maximum attachment size

2019-06-05 Thread Bryan Blackwell
Hi folks,

I've run into an apparent limit in size - we send newsletters through one of 
our lists, and they can get large.  One in particular runs over 20MB, and I get 
an error on the held messages page trying to process it.  Currently we have 
version 2.1.20, I know there are updates but not if they address this limit or 
if there's some other fix.

I touched a test file in the locks directory and it was still there after 
starting MM.  I found the solution after further searching (on an archived 
systemd-devel mailing list post, of course):

>> ExecStart does not go through a shell, so it won't expand wildcards.

Problem solved!

Excellent, thanks.  I put them in with 'hold' instead of 'discard' for now just 
in case I made a mistake.  Right now I have a bunch of lines in the Legacy

[Mailman-Users] Filtering messages with no subject

2018-05-29 Thread Bryan Blackwell
Hi folks,

I'm having trouble with some spam using spoofed addresses getting through to my 
lists, they all seem to have no subject.  I don't see any obvious way to filter 
these, am I missing an option?  If not, has anyone implemented a filter to 
block these sorts of messages?

Thanks for any help,

Some years ago I ran into this problem, we turned off all the "Advertise this 
list" options and instead refer to them from other general info pages for the 
group.  That cut down the spam to the lists, admins, and -owners addresses 
considerably.

[Mailman-Users] Friendly name for digest sender

2017-02-16 Thread Bryan Blackwell
Hi folks,

I noticed recently that there's no real name for my digest mail - the -request 
address is correctly displayed, but there no friendly name.  So on my Yahoo 
mail the pop up display for message shows the sender name as "null".  Clearly 
this isn't a big deal, but I looked and couldn't find a setting, is there an 
easy way to have a name associated with that address?

[Mailman-Users] Configure admin mail Return-Path

2016-10-03 Thread Bryan Blackwell
Greetings,

I have a functional Mailman 2.1.20 environment on Fedora 22 (I own and built 
the box).  The native domain is skiblack.com, and I host corvair.org.  The 
config and archives were copied over from the old server and normal list 
delivery works fine. I've had trouble delivering moderator request e-mail and 
found this error:

Oct  3 08:00:29 tiger postfix/smtp[1851]: B63BC16541: to=, 
orig_to=, relay=mailin-04.mx.aol.com[152.163.0.100]:25,

mailin-04.mx.aol.com[152.163.0.100] said: 554 5.7.1 
: Sender address rejected: Access denied 
(in reply to MAIL FROM command))

vv-help is a local alias that points to three separate addresses, we are the 
admins for the lists.  Sending mail directly to the alias works fine.  I think 
the issue is localhost.localdomain in the sender header, can someone tell me 
where that's configured?I've pasted the headers from a moderator e-mail below.

Hi Matt,

Sometimes it's the encoding.  Selecting "Additionally, forward this message" 
and sending it to yourself for review can be very helpful.

Of course, it's also possible it's got a forged address and is spam/malware.

Mine is simpler than that.  Name of the list is VirtualVairs, thus:

Something else.  In the system alias file I have:

LISTNAME-help: bryan, den...@foo.com, m...@bar.com

The Mailman List Owner points to that.  I get the messages, but Dennis and Matt 
do not.

That's just what I'm getting.  No errors, it appears to deliver to the system 
alias but the alias never gets expanded.  The system alias otherwise works as 
expected, it's something specific to the MM -owner mail.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman owner delivery

2016-02-22 Thread Bryan Blackwell
Hi all,

I have a minor mystery.  I recently migrated to a new server, hosting a half 
dozen or so Mailman lists.  The old server ran on Fedora 8, but I had upgraded 
to Mailman 2.1.18.  The new server is Fedora 22, running Mailman 2.1.20.  
Postfix is the MTA on both.

Migration was just to copy over ~mailman, install the new software (same 
paths), install /etc/aliases and ~mailman/aliases.  And everything worked!  Or 
so I thought, I found one little thing that doesn't.  Held message e-mails 
going to the -owner addresses have a strange issue.  I have "list-help" aliases 
for all my lists, and the MM list owners are set to those addresses.  I've 
verified that the aliases work, and deliver mail to all the folks on the alias 
if I just send a message.  However, Mailman -owner mail only comes to me (I'm 
the first address on the list and local to the box).  I can find no errors in 
the logs, it all looks like it's working (status=sent).

Any suggestions appreciated.

When e-mail lists had no web interface, subscribers would often send admin 
commands - "unsubscribe", "set digest", etc., to the actual list instead of the 
admin address.  This was pretty common when MJ lists were ported to MM.  Those 
filters are in place to catch those, in part to avoid the follow on "RTFM" 
posts to the main list.

Probably just as well to turn them off, most people use the web interface 
nowadays and have for some time.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Question about confirming each email for one subscriber

2015-05-28 Thread Bryan Blackwell
Easy to do - check the "mod" (for "moderate") box next to their name on the 
member list, and set the list so moderated messages are held for review under 
Privacy options... > Sender filters > member_moderation_action.

On the "Privacy Options" main page (/privacy>) for a given list, set

I found that DMARC is pervasive enough to cause this behavior.  Using "munge 
from" fixed it for me, be aware you need a very recent version of MM to have 
the options.

Never mind, I found it - it's a display issue.  Argh.  Thanks for the help, I 
was going a bit bonkers.  FWIW, I did find a fix to something else I was 
looking to take care of while I've been reading the screens.

Both lists are on the same host, same domain, and both have anonymous_list set 
to "No".

I forgot to mention, I'm on Mailman version 2.1.18-1.

[Mailman-Users] From munging to show user via listname

2015-02-18 Thread Bryan Blackwell
Greetings,

I dug through the archive but couldn't quite find the answer to this question.  
I have a couple e-mail lists I manage, I thought I had them set up identically 
but I'm stuck getting the From address to appear the way I want it.  One list's 
messages comes through as:

  From:  via 

This is what I want.  The other is:

  From: 

Which is not what I'm looking for.  Other than that, everything works as 
desired.  Thanks for any clues.

Did you install Mailman as root, or with the mailman user?  That might 
be it.

You can see one of the digests here:

As far as I can see you should provide a real mbox where eMails are
stored with full headers. If you do not have one, you can only re-post
them to the new mailman-list, but I am unsure about that.
Nope, no mbox.  Re-posting won't work since I don't have the individual 
posts.  Looks like I may end up writing something, it just surprises me 
that no one else has had this problem and posted a solution - this is 
the default Majordomo archiving mechanism.  I guess all the folks who 
really wanted web archives had already converted to a real archiver and 
worked from that.

I've been looking for an answer to migrating archives as well.  The 
only problem with this procedure is this step:

You can see one of the digests here:

I've taken a look at the old digest_arch script, but I don't know 
python at all to figure out how to make it work (I tried a pass on some 
test files, but didn't end up with a useful mbox).  I've also dug 
through the FAQ and the Mailman Users list archive, but I haven't found 
a posted solution.  If someone has made this work and can pass a 
solution or clue, I'd be grateful.  I do know perl and shell scripting 
well enough to adapt someone else's solution, if something like that 
exists.  Thanks for any insight.
