[Mailman-Users] Automating procmail processing for new lists
The below suggestions to procmail before posting to the list requires manual configuration each time you set up a new list. Is there a simple automatic way to achieve this?

I have gotten mailman and postfix to work correctly using the postfix-to-mailman.py file. How does one integrate procmail into this mixture with the postfix-to-mailman.py file? Is it possible to do this or does one have to configure postfix and mailman differently in order to have procmail do some filtering? I understand that postfix_to_mailman.py is packaged with the Debian/Ubuntu Mailman package, but it is 3rd party software, not supported (officially at least) by the GNU Mailman project. That said, one possibility might be to modify the mailman transport in /etc/postfix/master.cf to invoke procmail instead of postfix_to_mailman.py and then have procmail invoke postfix_to_mailman.py for the mail it wants to deliver. Another possibility is to modify postfix_to_mailman.py to invoje procmail instead of Mailman's mail wrapper and then have procmail invoke Mailman's wrapper to post the mail. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Adding custom header
I want to receive all mail relating to lists that I create and
manage into my inbox. Because there are arbitrary list names and
also numerous domains, I think that the best way is for all list
mail to carry an identifying mail header.
Having searched the archives, I understand I should
edit the source.
I am thinking like appending a tag to an existing header like
List-Id:
Is this giving the corre t file to edit.
$ find /usr/lib/mailman -type f -exec grep -l List-Id {} \;

Re: [Mailman-Users] configuration of mailman with postfix - SOLVED
The issue was that as of 12.04 ubuntu upgraded to ipv6 support.
My mailman install required relaying of mails by postfix but
because the system was now ipv6 enabled, this
was not possible until add following to mynetworks
[::1]/128
Thanks to Mark Sapiro on the mailman list for persisting
and finding the answer.
Maybe this will save someone else the time that it cost me.
Is the cause of this type of issue my ignorance alone?
Why (else) do these things happen?

[Mailman-Users] reject oversize messages rather than hold for moderation?
Is there any easy way to get Mailman to reject oversize messages, rather than holding them for moderation, or does anyone have a patch? I'm really getting sick of dealing with those. I spent a few minutes looking at whether I could hack it in myself. I quickly found the code that makes the hold decision for oversized messages, in Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py, but it wasn't obvious how to change it to do a rejection rather than a hold. The structure of Mailman seems confusing to me. It appears that it is organized in terms of making all of the hold decisions in one place, and the reject decisions in another. I'd have expected it to identify the possible problems with a message, and allow list-admin-configurable policy decisions to be made for each of those problems. But perhaps the current structure makes sense to those who have better knowledge of Mailman internals.

Descisions are distributed through various handlers because we want to modularize the various functions like spam detection, membership tests Still, I'd have expected the decisions for what to hold (policy) to be separate from the code that actually implements the hold (mechanism). For example, I might have expected to see a handler for message size. Instead, it appears that the Hold handler has to think about all of the reasons that a message might be held. But like I said, this probably makes sense to all of you Mailman maintainers, so I probably am just spouting BS. Thanks for the help!
