Thank you, Bill and Mark. Can't think why I didn't spot member_moderation_*. Now all I have to do is use withlist to change the rest of the lists. Actually, it's not perfect. Emergency moderation seems better than setting everyone's moderation bit. Setting everyone's moderation bit either requires manually visiting each admin page (for ~75 lists) or writing a more complicated script to achieve what that does. Worse, it loses the record of who was set to moderation before this, making it much more cumbersome to undo. Is there any reason you're counseling against emergency moderation? -- David. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

Mark Sapiro wrote: Yes. Emergency moderation is totally separate from member moderation. It is an unconditional hold without notice to the admin/moderator. It does not look at member_moderation_action or member_moderation_notice. Gotcha. There is a script at http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/set_mod.py : There is also a script at http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/list_mod.py (mirrored at http://fog.ccsf.cc.ca.us/~msapiro/scripts/list_mod.py) Excellent. Thanks again. Your scripts all look pretty straight-forward, but no reason to write the code when you've already written, debugged, and documented it. -- David. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
[Mailman-Users] Completely read-only list
I've moved and renamed a set of lists. Not everyone reads their email, though, so occasionally people try to post to the old names off the old domain name. For now, I want to retain the old lists as is, in case I need to back out of the move. I've set up autorespond text to tell posters that a list has moved, but their postings still go through to the old list that way. If I set everyone's moderation bit (or enable the emergency moderation flag), I still have to manually reject or discard postings. The answer would seem to be a filter that matches on all postings and rejects them with my autorespond text. Is there anything simpler I could do? I've checked the archives, and all the answers are about lists that are *mostly* read-only, not entirely. A truly read-only list has other utility. There are a few extinct lists I'd like to host archives for. Mailman provides the framework for controlling who can access the archives and for generating the browsing pages. For that use case, since I don't need an explanation sent to a would-be poster, I think the simplest solution is removing the list from the mail aliases file. I'm using 2.1.12, for no reason other than that it's working fine and I haven't had a compelling reason to upgrade yet. -- David. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

[Mailman-Users] Plus in email address
One of my users has tried to subscribe with an email address with a + in it, for filtering as a subaddress, e.g., Joe Foo foo+...@goo.com I have the list set for moderator approval of subscription requests. The request appears in the log but no email is sent to me and the request does not appear in the moderator action queue. I've looked through the wiki and my archives of this list, but I don't see anything pertinent. It should be legit. There are no imposed semantics on local-part in the RFCs, and in my experience mailman developers are sticklers for standards compliance. So I'm confused. The fact that it's + that's the problem is suspicious and makes me think the issue relates to URL (en | de)coding. Apart from the problem itself, will it work if I manually add him to the list, or will other scripts in Mailman have a problem? -- David. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
[Mailman-Users] Additional scripts and web forms
Are there Internet repositories of Mailman scripts and customization beyond what comes with the distribution? I keep having ideas for obvious capabilities that are missing, e.g., - an inverse of add_members (instead of an input file of users to add to a single list, have an input file of lists to add a single user to) - a web form that allows a user to subscribe to many lists at once, using the same settings - integrating with an existing user authentication system - when showing the list of lists, have optional columns (how many members and messages each list has, language of the list, etc.) and make the list user-sortable on any of those columns None of these are hard to just write myself, but a good lazy programmer doesn't when he can just leverage what's already been done. -- David Lubkin. -- 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
[Mailman-Users] Retaining HTML in archives
It was easy enough to tweak settings so that messages sent in HTML are distributed to a list as HTML, including embedded images. But I'm not clear, after googling around the Mailman-Users archives and checking the FAQs, how to have the same effect when a list's archives are browsed. Where a multi-part message has both text and HTML, I want the HTML displayed when archives are browsed. When there's an embedded image, I want an img tag whose linktext points into the attachments directory. -- David Lubkin. -- 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
