[Mailman-Users] Feature request (?)
You know what would be super.. In Privacy Options > Sender Filters, the four fields titled "List of non-member addresses whose postings should be [accepted | held | rejected | discarded]" should be able to accept Mailman list names in addition to plain old e-mail addresses. Example: My Mailman server holds an all-students lists and an all-employees list (subscriber lists for both are updated nightly with sync_members; and can be quite dynamic at the start of the semesters). We'd like to say "If you are a member of all-employees, then you may post to all-students. Otherwise, reject." In essence, it's an announcement-type list; but instead of just a handful of static auto-accept addresses, we have thousands of dynamically changing addresses. Similarly, a company might have a Cabinet or "executive management" list which might serve as as a normal mailing list AND also as an auto-accept list for a employees or peons list ;-) I'm currently doing a list_members on my employees list, and pasting it into the auto-accept textbox in students.. its a pain. -- Robert Carsey Sr. UNIX Administrator Monmouth University W.

[Mailman-Users] mailing list vs. posting list
One of the features of majordomo was that you could separate the addresses on the mailing-list and the addresses which were able to post to the list (i think it was the restricted_posters= config option). In my case, I have an all-staff list and an all-faculty list. Sometimes our staff (not on the faculty list) sends reminder notices to the faculty (apparently they are old and forget things easily or something). The obvious thing to do is to open up the mailing list so _anyone_ can post to it --- great, but I don't want disgruntled students sending stuff to the list. Which used to happen a lot. :( The next obvious thing to do is to also add the staff to the faculty list, but mark them as "disabled" -- still subscribed, but they won't receive e-mail. Last but not least, the list (or site) admin can manually approve messages from the staff. ugh. Are there any other options for me to consider? -- Robert Carsey Senior UNIX Administrator Monmouth University Cedar Avenue West Long Branch, NJ 07764 (732) 263-5171 (732) 263-5200 FAX -- 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: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
[Mailman-Users] exceeding max message size
What happens when a user submits a message greater than the list's maximum message size? We've been using majordomo for a very long time - however, we have some users who don't understand they can't send messages larger than xxx KB. Majordomo sends a bounce to the list owner - however, it would be _A LOT_ nicer, in our situation, to send the same message to the sender of the message as well.Does mailman do this? -robert -- 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
