[Mailman-Users] nomail/A versus monthly reminder
Hello. Mailman 2.1.23 package on Debian 7. If a subscriber's nomail flag is set by admin, does monthly subscription info/reminder message still get sent to that subscriber?

He still should consider setting it to 'hold' for a trial period; the risk of accidentally discarding a real post is pretty high here IMO. But that's something he can judge better than we can. Yes, putting a regular expression in header_filter_rules seems like a good solution. As Mr. Turnbull suggests, I set that rule to Hold for now, to see if it catches anything unintended. But this has the advantage of being list specific, rather than affecting all lists. Any mail that has the non-allowed address anywhere in the from field should be deleted.

[Mailman-Users] Getting Spam from Banned Address
I have a list that started getting a lot of spam from a particular address. Most of them get sent to moderation because of Too many recipients and they are easily dealt with. The address in question was an alternate address for one member and after speaking with him, we decided it would be OK to take the address off the list completely. I have done so but continue to receive spam from that address. The list has generic_nonmember_action set to discard but the messages continue to come in, although they still mostly go to moderation rather than the list. But I don't see how they are getting there. I tried adding the address to discard_these_nonmembers but that, too, seems to have no effect. Looking at the header of one of the message, however, and I see that although they show up as From that single banned address, there are multiple addresses in the From field. At least one other of the addresses is a valid list address. I assume that as long as at least one From address is valid, mailman will let it through the gate. Is that right? Should there be some setting to only let in mail with a single From address? I can't see any reason to allow multiple From values. Or possibly a setting that says all From addresses must be on the list. Or am I missing something? -- Henry -- 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

This would say that the post is considered to be from a member only if the envelope sender is a member. I've done this. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll report back if that doesn't solve the problem but it seems like it should. It occurs to me that this is site-wide, however. Is that right?

I use Mailman 2.1.13 through a webhosting service (Host Monster). I have kept my lists to less than 100 members. I believe my services are on a shared server because I don't pay extra for a dedicated Server. On several occasions, when I send an email some people don't receive it.but if another person responds with reply all, the person(s) who didn't receive the original message received the reply message. On one occasion the domain affected was an aol address and another was Comcast. It doesn't appear to happen all the time (at least as far as I know). Any idea what the cause of this might be?

[Mailman-Users] bilingual list problem
I'm in Canada, which as you probably know is an officially bilingual (english and french) country. I am attempting to set up some mailman discussion lists, with bilingual footers for the messages. These are on my web hosting service, dreamhost.com. Unfortunately, when I have US english set as the default language, mailman strips out all the accented characters in the french portion of the footer. Using french as the default language prevents this from happening, but most of my list administrators want english for their admin pages. What I would like would be a way to set mailman to NOT strip out accented characters when english is set as the default language. Alternatively, is there a way to have the admin pages open in english when the default language is french? Thank you for your help!

[Mailman-Users] Dealing with spam
I have a few small, private lists managed with Mailman. For the most part, I don't have problems with spam, probably aided by the fact that they are both small and private. Lately, however, on one list (about two dozen addresses) I'm getting spam that has valid users as the From: address. My first thought was that the users' machines were being used as spam bots but at least one uses my server as it's mail server and these messages are coming from other servers. So, it seems that their address is being spoofed and being used to sent mail to the list (even though it isn't advertised). For the most part, messages are coming with implicit destination so I can simply discard them but occasionally they come directly to the list and are not filtered. I have two questions: 1) What is the best practice approach to dealing with these messages? I have simply been discarding them. If I reject them, will that send a response back that might make an automated sender drop my list address from their list as a non-working address? Or is that wishful thinking? 2) Is there some way to automatically reject or discard mail with implicit destination rather than holding it for moderation? The users of this particular list do not (ever) intentionally use an implicit destination so I wouldn't mind just automating that. There doesn't seem to be a setting on the Recipient Filters page of Privacy options.

[Mailman-Users] Auto-Discard Sender Filter
Hello All, One of our Mailman mailing lists appears to have several e-mail addresses listed under the sender filter section: List of non-member addresses whose postings will be automatically discarded I've talked to the list admins and they have all claimed that they did not place these e-mail addresses there nor do they know how they got there in the first place. Is there some sort of automatic feature in Mailman that would be adding these e-mail addresses without manual intervention? My first inclination after looking through the online documentation and from using Mailman for the last few years was that someone simply added these e-mail addresses manually by mistake and either forgot about it or just didn't care to admit to doing it. Basically I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I've missed and this was in fact just user error and some feature you can enable/disable through the admin options. Anyone's input will be much appreciated.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman Scrubbing archived attachments
All I want to do is to set up Mailman so that it sends an attachment with the e-mail (that works) and then saves the attachment in the archived version of the e-mail (doesn't work - get message that the attachment was scrubbed). I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I have nothing set in content filtering assuming that would mean that nothing is filtered. If that is not how to make it so that I can save a copy of the attachment in the archive, what do I need to do?

[Mailman-Users] Viewable Member Names
We recently started using Mailman. I'd like to incorporate viewable subscriber names next to their email address on the list view page, so that our members will know who's each email address belongs to. I'm also interested in creating sublist, so to speak, from the main list to provide smaller list groups so that we can communicate with more focused groups of members. I have a Board of Directors, Regional Coordinators, General Officers, etc. If I have sublist or whatever they would be called, then my membership only needs to track a few email addresses for communication with the various groups vice the 100+ emails we currently have. I'll follow this by saying I'm not a technically oriented person when it comes to computer programming and such, but generally find your product extremely end user friendly. Maybe Mailman can already do this and I just haven't figured it out.

[Mailman-Users] Using CSS to alter the look and feel of archives
Hi, We're helping a friend who wants to change the mailman archives. We're using CSS to implement a three column design with a header. We've read the archive entries and FAQ which explain how to update the HTML. One thing we aren't certain of is placement of the closing /div tags for each of the three columns. The closing /body and /html tags are included in archidxfoot.html. Are the closing /div tags best placed in article.html, archtoc.html? Or, should they be placed in archidxfoot.html? Or maybe I'm just very confused?! We're creating the look and feel of these pages outside the server upon which they normally reside, so we can't really test them. I'd like to take them to the administrator -- a guy who administers this box on a volunteer basis -- without a lot of hassle.

[Mailman-Users] RE: Question about Mailman feature
Hello, I had a question about a particular Mailman feature. There is an option that states preserve message for site admin Until yesterday I was under the impression that this meant the messages in the pending request queue would remain there untouched. But I was testing it out with this option checked and the messages are always deleted from the pending requests page unless you select the defer option. When they specify that a copy is kept for the site administrator do they actually mean that the pending message is deleted from the page but saved on the machine housing the list messages? Is this only accessible only by those with direct access to the hardware it's stored on and not the list admin/mods? Hopefully you can clarify things for me a bit.

[Mailman-Users] subscription via form
Just wanted to tell you all how versatile this program is! I'm using it for a basic one-way mailing list, so I almost feel bad for not using it up to its full functionality. ;) My question is this... I run www.metroidmetal.com. I want people to be able to join the mailing list by filling out the form on the front page, and the e-mail field being automatically submitted for subscription - of course bounces would be handled by the program. This would lighten my manual load. How would I go about this? I've tried the variety of FAQs, but I can't find much. ??
