[Mailman-Users] 2.1.5 Mail-News gateway moderation feature or bug?
Under 2.0.8 messages to a members-only-posting list entering from the News gateway would be held for non-members. With 2.1.5 we were alarmed to see such messages being posted without any moderation control even though generic_nonmember_action was set to 'Hold'. We could find no ther settings to control it. Unfortunately some Spam messages from the News group was distributed to the list's membership. The only work-around we could find was to use the Spam filter to hold messages with headers matching Newsgroups:, but that doesn't seem to give the finer control available for regular SMTP messages. The News group in question is not a moderated news group. It isn't logical to me that messages coming in from an open newsgroup wouldn't be subject to the usual moderation filters. We are running stable Mailman 2.1.5 with Python 2.3 under RH9 Linux. Had to apply patch 1020102 to make the Spam filtering useful. Other than this problem we are enjoying the new features of 2.1.5. -- David Brown Systems Administrator, Postmaster National Radio Astronomy Observatory 520 Edgemont Road Charlottesville, Virginia 2290-24753 -- 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/
Re: [Mailman-Users] Group Writable
Do what I did for v2.0.8. After installing mailman do a chmod g-w ~mailman AFAIK nothing writes to the top level mailman directory after the installation. All writing is done to subdirectories. I hope this is still true in 2.1.

I checked my permissions and everything is just according to the mailman documentation. How can I take care of this problem without having to compromise security ?
