You could create an other/ directory on your server and put your
.htaccess and a symlink (named say listinfo) to
$prefix/cgi-bin/listinfo in that directory. Then you could modify the
the following section of the definition of listinfo_overview() in
$prefix/Mailman/listinfo.py from

for name in listnames:
mlist = MailList.MailList(name, lock=0)
if mlist.advertised:
if mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW and \
...

to something like

for name in listnames:
mlist = MailList.MailList(name, lock=0)
if mlist.advertised or (
os.environ.get('SCRIPT_NAME').startswith('/other')):
if mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW and \
...

and add the appropriate ScriptAlias to the web server so that
http://www.example.com/other/listinfo will invoke your symlink.



Works great, thanks!

[Mailman-Users] public/private listinfo pages

2010-06-22 Thread Michael Anderson

Hello,

I have several lists on the same server, all with the same domain  
name. I currently have a public listinfo page which displays only  
selected lists that have the advertise option enabled.


How can I set up a second private (protected with .htaccess) page  
which shows all of the lists?


Thanks,

Mike

[Mailman-Users] Two questions

2007-09-05 Thread Michael Anderson
1. Is there a way to mass unsubscribe all the members of a 5k list?

2. I need to send a broadcast message to about 4K addresses. Just a one-time
announcement. Should I use Mailman for this? I'm not sure how to set up a
broadcast-only list.

Thanks!

MA

Is there a way to do this with the web interface in Mailman? I'm no command
line proficient enough.

 Have you set the list up already? You could just create a new,
 moderated list and not let anyone else post to it.

This is how I did it last time but I thought there was maybe a specific kind
of list for broadcasting announcements. Thanks

[Mailman-Users] Comcast, Yahoo, Hotmail blocking us

2007-09-01 Thread Michael Anderson
Suddenly, these major ISP's were refusing our connections. We are not on
their blacklists. This all started on one day.

After a great deal of investigation by my sysadmin and my University IT guys
we have come to the conclusion that it might have been caused by updating
our mail gateway machine. We upgraded from an antiquated PIX to one that is
lightening fast. Plus we upgraded our bandwidth at the same time.

So, what is happening is we are delivering the mail so fast that these ISP's
are rejecting mail because they have thresholds in place that block large
quantities of mail coming in from the same server in a short time.

So, the question I have is - is there any way to set mailman so that it
doesn't send all its copies of a message to yahoo.com for instance all at
once? Can you break it up? We have 200 yahoo users which is over their
threshold.

We are grasping at straws on this one.

Also, is there a way to find out which major blacklists your server is on
and also a way to find the addresses you need to request whitelisting? I
have a feeling there is a repository for this that you can search, but I
don't know where to find it.

Thanks for your help.
Michael

We changed our Sendmail configuration to send out one message at a time and
it seems to be working fine so far. Thanks for all the help.

 Well, you asked how to slow it down ...
 
 OTOH, it won't be that slow. If your MTA as as blinding fast as you
 say, I imagine that for moderate sized messages, say 10 KB, it would
 take well under a minute to deliver to the MTA.
 
 I don't know how many members are on the many lists at python.org, but
 many of these lists have personalized and/or VERPed delivery and thus
 send an individual message to each subscriber, and it doesn't seem to
 be an issue there.
