I've solved this problem locally using a procmail rule, and I think the method could be implemented in mailman itself if others thought it worthwhile. I only send on to mailman messages that match procmail's FROM_MAILER check, anything else is sent directly to a human. My theory is if the message isn't from a mailer-daemon, than it probably isn't a bounce.

This is a common misconception of what IDENT is/was for. IDENT was not intended to provide reliable authentication, as to who owned a connection. Rather, IDENT was a way of providing information such that a sysadmin could figure out later which of their own users had done something bad, or had their account compromised. People then started using it this way, possibly due to the inclusion in tcp wrappers, but as I recall it wasn't the original purpose. In other words, as the recipient I have no reason to trust the string. But if I am on the reciving end of an attack from a multi-user machine and am reporting it to the owner of the machine, I would give them the IDENT data I capture so they can better track what happened on their machine. And even on a non-multi user machine, it could help narrow down what process was compromised. There was at least one IDENT server that would return a seemingly random string, that could be decrypted by the sysadmin to know what the account was without divulging the actual name to the outside. == Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 948-3162 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ -- 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

If so, where can I find No, but you don't need it to. It's a separate problem. Mailman's job is simply to distribute mail sent to it to all members. What you are looking for is something that will generate a dated e-mail at a given time to "some address" . That "some address" happens to be a mailing list is irrelavant. That's the beauty of breakign problems into little pieces, and solving each piece. Really, all you want is some little script to generate an e-mail with a dated link and send it to the mailing list address. A few lines of shell or perl can do it. == Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ -- 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

Forget spam. A mailing list that does not require a response to a confirmation before subscribing an address can be abused for a DOS attack. Suppose I don't like you, and decide to subscribe you to 1,000 mailing lists. If they require confirmation, you get 1,000 confirmation messages and it is over. If they DON'T require confirmation, you are now on 1,000 lists that you need to track down and unsubscribe from.

[Mailman-Users] Bug in 2.1.7, can't edit Public HTML pages & text files
Mailman is telling me there is a bug whenever I try to submit a page from the "Edit the public HTML pages and text files" menu.

Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs.

I would turn the problem around. Tell the hotmail users that hotmail is blocking their list mail, and they should contact hotmail and tell them to stop blocking their legit mail. Or, if it's not a business list, tell hotmail users they need to use a different address and move on. Send them all a gmail invite while you're at it. == Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ -- 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

I think you may need to either see if you can pay for additional mail usage, or look into alternate hosting, either for your site or just your mailing list. the FAQ entry referenced says this would need to be done at the MTA level, meaning your hosting provider. Feel free to contact me off-list if you think you need outside hosting for the list. We haven't turned list hosting into a 'product' yet, but have done it on request. -Chris == Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ -- 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] Making list inactive

Backup the mailman/lists/listname directory, delete the list, restore the directory if you want to reactivate it. You can also use the list_members command line program to dump the member list to a text file, which could be imported whenever you wanted to reactivate it. == Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ -- 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] Edit public HTML/text files sets incorrect permissions
I've just opened Bug 1190404 on this issue. System is Solaris 8, gcc 3.4.0, python 2.4, Apache 1.3.33 On mailman 2.1.6rc1 and rc2, when I use the "Edit the HTML pages and text files" option, the directories and files created are mode 600 , owned by nobody.mailman . After this, subscriptions fail with a permissions error. Since the listname/en directory is unreadable, there is a permissions error for the e-mail script that tries to send a confirmation message back to the user. == Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ -- 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
