[Mailman-Users] Sorry about duplicate information
Apologies for posting duplicate information. I just received "Mailman-Users Digest, Vol 240, Issue 5" and see that my reply to Tim Houseman's message was unnecessary (duplicated information). Solution? As a digest reader, I need to wait with a reply until the next digest has come in... ;) Ian >Today's Topics: > > 1. Re: Attach footer only once? (Carl Zwanzig) > 2.

[Mailman-Users] Attach footer only once?
If there is a website associated with the mailing list, you could move the information that is currently contained in the footer to a dedicted page on that website and shorten the footer to a one-line reference, such as "Mailing list terms and conditions: see [insert link to website]". It would not eliminate the multiple footers but at least keep that tail short. Also, if users create ever long messages by keeping whole threads attached to their replies, it suggests that there is insufficient understanding of the functionality of modern email softwware, which can show related messages grouped into threads. This is, of course, an organisational/educationl issue, not a technical one. (I would suggest that in the face of apparent problems - in general, not just with mailing lists - it is often more effective to develop organisational solutions rather than relying on technical fixes).

Hi Rich, attacks against mailman usually come without a referer, so I have found the following approach to work: I create a landing page for the mailing list that introduces the list, explains the signup process, and contains a button with a link to the list interface. Via the ".htaccess" file I ensure that the list interface itself can only be accessed if there is a referer that contains the domain of the landing page - any other access will causes a blank page to be served. Result: no spam. The same approach also works with blogs and keeps search engines at bay. Humans can (and, if motivated, will) go beyond the landing page but machines will be blocked.
