[Mailman-Users] Emails not getting through to subscribers, but posted to archives

2013-12-18 Thread Max Pyziur


Greetings,

Because of some other tests, I restarted mailman this morning on my 
server.


I've encountered the problem that emails are not getting through to 
subscribers, but they are being posted to the archives.


I would appreciate any sort of guidance as to how to troubleshoot this 
problem.


Much thanks,

Please ignore my request

Things are working as designed, with some delays.

[Mailman-Users] ISP Policies: Maintaining a clean reputation and getting the configurations right

2013-04-08 Thread Max Pyziur



Greetings,

While we've managed to master keeping our reputation clean on CBL and 
Spamhaus, we're now getting pushback from the ISPs, critically, the older 
ones like earthlink.net, yahoo.com, and a few other similar ones.


Not long ago, I had some issues regarding AOL; a list respondent was very 
helpful. Here is a link covering most of the major ISPs:

[Mailman-Users] Google mail servers reply "Multiple destination domains per transaction is unsupported "

2013-03-07 Thread Max Pyziur


Greetings,

We received the following while sending out a newsletter/notification to a 
6,000+ email list:


<<< 451 4.3.0 try again. ac8si27848234obc.211 - gsmtp
Deferred: 451-4.3.0 Multiple destination domains per transaction is 
unsupported.  Please ... while talking to aspmx.l.google.com


This reads like a configuration issue on the those businesses and 
educational institutions who rely on Google mail servers.


Is there a way for the sender (us) to be whitelisted, or is this matter 
handled at the receivers' end?


Much thanks,

[Mailman-Users] ISP policies, specifically AOL

2013-02-10 Thread Max Pyziur


Greetings,

We've been using mailman for almost ten years (thank you). At our peak we 
have run about ten email lists: some discussion-oriented w/ small 
membership, and very low frequency; others that have had higher frequency 
and membership. In addition, two of them have been used to distribute 
monthly newsletters/announcements to a large membership (5,000 to 10,000 
subscribers).


Recently (in the last six months to a year), some ISPs have begun blocking 
these high volume/low-frequency distributions, in particular AOL. While 
AOL emails make up about 10% of the constituency of these lists, for us 
and our lists it is important that distributions reach these subscribers.


It seems that AOL, among others, has insisted on some sort of 
pre-authentication procedures, so that large distributions from servers 
such as ours are effectively whitelisted.


Have other mailman admins encountered these issues?

Is this a foreshadowing of things to come?

Much thanks.

[Mailman-Users] Global vs list-specific settings

2012-12-01 Thread Max Pyziur


Greetings,

I'm writing to verify the setting of send_reminders.

For some of my disabled lists I have send_reminders yet today (the 1st of 
the month) I see notifications being sent out.


I checked the setting for mailman, mailman's superuser, and see that 
send_reminders is set to 'Yes'


Does the mailman send_reminders setting override individual lists' 
send_reminders settings.


It seems that it does, but I am writing to verify this.

Much thanks,

[Mailman-Users] Using robots.txt

2009-11-09 Thread Max Pyziur



Greetings

Mailman's email lists are visible search engine spiders from 
http://www.somedomain.com/pipermail/emaillistname/etc


However, /pipermail is an alias of /var/mailman/archives/public/

per mailman.conf

I've tried placing a basic robots.txt file at 
/var/mailman/archives/public/ and set permissions to 644. However, my 
lists still get spidered.


Any suggestions on where to place the robots.txt file to prevent 
spidering?


Thanks!

[Mailman-Users] Unable to open list admin page

2009-02-25 Thread Max Pyziur



Greetings,

I've been using mailman since about 2004; currently, I am running version 
2.1.5. We have about ten different lists on our server.


Everything has been functioning well until today (quite a record).

We have one list with several thousand emails. We wanted to see if we could 
find and remove those email addresses that have gotten stale or invalid. 
Consequently, we adjusted the bounce processing settings.


Now, we can't log in to that particular list's admin page (all other lists do 
no have this problem). After typing the password and hitting enter, the web 
browser appears to be authenticating, but after an extensive period shows a 
message to the effect "Internal Server Error."


It seems that this would indicate some sort of corrupted file or data.

Any suggestions on how to remedy this?

Much thanks.
