[Mailman-Users] Harvesting of email addresses for spam from archives
We have had a lot of spams sent directly to our list members (i.e. not sent via mailman). All of them have subject headings taken from list emails already sent out genuinely via mailman. Almost all have our specific list prefix (but interesting not every one). Has anyone else had this recently (started 3rd Sept approx and the spammers listed from address has 'kiev' in it)? I can only think of 2 ways this has happened 1) Our public archives have been harvested by a spammer. This would account for the subject headings being used. Email addresses are displayed in the archives as, literally, 'name at domain.com' which is not immediately harvestable but wouldn't take much code to convert ' at ' to '@'. How do we make this more secure? I notice this list's archives are not standard mailman format! 2) One of our members PCs has been attacked and the subjects and email addresses taken from there. All our emails are delivered with the reply to address being the list but the originators email showing. This would account for a small number of the spams not having our list prefix in the subject heading (they would not have the prefix if stored in the sent box of the person that created the genuine message). However I would expect at least some members to report spam with entirely non list subjects from the same spammer. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 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://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9

Re: [Mailman-Users] Harvesting of email addresses for spam fromarchives
I've just checked myself and the HTML source still seems to allow robots: META NAME=robots CONTENT=index,nofollow on each message and META NAME=robots CONTENT=noindex,follow on the index page. I would want noindex and nofollow on both pages. Changing to private archives doesn't seem to make any difference to that, does it only apply to new archiving? The help is a bit vague here, does public mean the data is prepared for public posting (emails obscufacted) and private mean they are not, or does private mean they are not put on the web? i.e. which of private and public is actually the most secure? Also search engines still seem to be able to see the data e.g. type neoprene site:lists.shire.net/pipermail/dbamain/ into Google, maybe this will go in a few days?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Harvesting of email addresses for spamfromarchives
-Original Message- From: Mark Sapiro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The META tags say don't 'index' the index pages themselves, but follow the links to the messages, and on the message pages 'index' the contents, but don't follow links. This is appropriate for a public archive. Presumably you want people to be able to search for and find stuff in a public archive. Yes I understand the metatag. What we want is no emails available to the public where our members email address can easily be worked out. We achieve this very well through Nabble and their archive of our mail - www.bargeforum.org. We have never found the mailman archives very user friendly, quite basic in fact. So in this case we want nofollow and noindex. The public can search our public Nabble archives as much as they want. If the archive is private, it can only be accessed by logging in. The 'pipermail' URL doesn't work and access is via the 'private' CGI which requires login with list member email address and password. It won't change the META tags, but they will be irrelevant since robots can't log in and access the pages. Email obfuscation has nothing to do with public/private. Thanks for explaining that, it was my only concern about going private. The mailman help is not clear on this and I had not noticed the move to a passworded directory because every time I changed to private I had to be already logged in to make the change. Now logging in, making the change, logging out and testing has made it clear how it works. The great thing about mailman is support like this. But as our archive gets bigger and more useful, mailman's basic interface does fall shorter and shorter.

[Mailman-Users] Control of newsgroup posters
Is there a simple way to control newsgroup posters? We interface our mailman list to a newsgroup.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Control of newsgroup posters
Thanks but we have the newsgroup because some members, albeit a few, prefer a newsgroup interface. They would definitely not want to use the newsgroup to read and then have to use email to post. I am experimenting with the mailman option 'List of non-member addresses whose postings will be immediately held for moderation' and adding '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' which is what shows in the headers of the gated newsgroup posts (with * being a random number). Am I wasting my time looking into that? If not do I have the * right - I don't understand the mailman help line start the line with a ^ character to designate a regular expression match, can someone give examples of that usage to obtain the wildcard function?

That's not the way it works. The assumption is if you are gating from news that you want all the posts from the news group. It you only want posts on the list from list members and want them moderated by the list, don't gate to the list from the news group, just gate from the list to the news group and have list members post to the list and not the news group. -- 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=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

Re: [Mailman-Users] forwarding messages from one list to another not asattachments
I'm getting confused. To clarify, in Mailman 2.1.8 content filtering terms: we are 'filtering the content' , we are not 'removing message attachments that have a matching content type' we are 'removing message attachments that don't match multipart/mixed, multipart/alternative or text/plain', we are removing message attachments that match exe, bat, cmd, com,pif,scr,vbs,cpl ', we are 'collapsing multipart/alternative to its first part content', we are converting text/html parts to plain text. is that solution 2?

Plain text or not for the main message body, you may still have other bodyparts that are in other MIME formats, and you could potentially be stripping them, or you could allow them through. If you do allow them through, then adding footers to your outgoing messages may cause your plain text format message to get encapsulated into a MIME multi-part/related type, which may be displayed in your MUA in a manner that is not palatable.

Re: [Mailman-Users] integrating mailman members list with another database
Thnanks for very prompt response. I can obtain the list of members although I do not have server shell access, I can do it by email commands so that is no problem. I don't understand though how you use that. I should add our mailman list is on a suppliers server. We have our own website on a different suppliers server. that website has a members only section where members have to login. Are you allowing only members of your list by making the only route to subscribing your own web site after logging in to your own web site? Thats seems a great idea, we could do that and then we wouldn't need to run the mailman subscribers list at all let alone once an hour. We would need to manuslly check all existing subscribers but only the once. I assume we would just edit the HTML of the standard mailman subscribe page to tell them to login to our site instead. One question though is there a simple way to prevent non members subscribing by just guessing the subscribe email address? Oh one more when our members leave they will still stay as subscribers to the mailman list. thnaks David Steven Stern wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On 11/04/2007 05:25 PM, David Beaumont wrote: Here's the basic outline: Extract a list of member email addresses. /usr/local/mailman/bin/sync_members -g=no -w=no -d=no -a=no -f file_of_email_addresses list_name_here The list is set up so confirmation of subscription is required (and we never confirm when someone tries).
