Re: [Mailman-Users] Is there a patch which improves bulk mailing?
Wayne Spivak wrote: I have two lists, each with 20,000 names on them. The algorithm Mailman uses, to create the list e-mail output, is to say the least inefficient. There was a program that was used in conjunction with Majordomo called Bulk-mailer which did a tremendous job. In effect, it bundled addresses based on domain name, and let you limit how many domain names were sent in the same e-mail. This way, on a 20K list, maybe 500 e-mails would go out, but they would do it in a fraction of the time Mailman currently does it (it takes about 6 - 10 hours). Thanks. Rather than modifying Mailman, you may want to consider another MTA. What are you using today? -- Jim Littlefield"I'm writing a book.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Global blacklist?

Hi guys,
I've been looking for a global blacklist or spam filter. I know how to
add addresses and regexes on a per list basis, but this gets real
tedious if I want to ban something from all the lists I'm running on the
server. Is there a global list?
I found this KNOWN_SPAMMERS variable but it doesn't work for me. Maybe
I'm using it the wrong way. Here's what I've added to Mailman/mm_cfg.py:
KNOWN_SPAMMERS = [('subject', 'test')]
I send an email with subject 'test' to any of the lists and they aren't
blocked. What am I doing wrong?
Block the spam with your mail server, not within Mailman.

I guess my question wasn't very clear...I was referring to headers *within* the body of the digest; not the digest's headers.

[Mailman-Users] Digest message header filtering
A number of the subscribers to my lists have complained about the "unimportant" headers (Message-ID, In-Reply-To, etc.) included with each post when receiving a plain digest. I am talking about headers within the digest. Has anyone figured out a good way to strip these out? -- Jim Littlefield "All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand." - Steven Wright -- 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/ This message was sent to: archive@jab.org Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
