[Mailman-Users] URGENT Help required -suddenly some of the Umbrella lists is going unmoderated

[Vinita Aggarwal]

Dear All,

 

Please help

 

Thursday I created two cross posts (umbrealla lists) se-mf_se-drm and
se-wes_se-drm. When around 5:00 Resource team started posting the messages
in these lists, they found that messages are going without moderation. They
reported me. I checked the mailman seetings and found that "By default,
should new list member postings be moderated?" setting was set to No which I
corrected to yes.  So, till Friday evening everything was ok. Then suddenly,
on Friday evening, again only se-mf_se-drm resource team reported that it
their message again went moderated. I again checked the settings. But this
time, settings were correct.  To handle the emergency, we had to delete that
list. 

 

Now, today, again one cross post se-mch_aids-se message went unmoderated. We
had to remove all members from this list.

 

I request you to please give attention to this concern as there are many
cross posts lists are running and if same problem gets replicated there then
it will be a huge pronlem.

 

Please suggest how to handle this situation and sort out this.

Regards,

Vinita Aggarwal

First you hijack an existing thread for a new topic. Then you realize
you neglected to change the Subject, so you re-post with a new
Subject, but still as a "reply" to your first post, so now you have
hijacked your hijack.

When posting a new topic, compose a NEW mail, do not reply to an

[Mailman-Users] From status is coming incorrect from the msg circulated to mailing list

[Vinita Aggarwal]

 

Dear Friends,

 

I need your help to sort out following problem. Please suggest.

 

I have configured mailman on a Linux based server. Domain name is
trrc-ten.org.

 

I have created a list moderated [EMAIL PROTECTED] my email id
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is listed in its administrator's and moderator's
and member's list. 

 

I have added a id [EMAIL PROTECTED] in its members list.

 

Now, when I send a email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it gets circulated among all the members including my
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

 

Now the problem is: when members check their email
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) they see that From is "
[EMAIL PROTECTED]; on behalf of; Vinita Aggarwal
[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which is incorrect.

 

It should be From [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 

 

Please help me in identgying my mistake in configuring mailman or mailing
lists settings.

 

 

I look forward for early help.

I've got a problem with mailman. I run Suse with Apache2 and mailman

[Mailman-Users] Office in New Delhi needs urgent help to re-stabilize our mailing list

[Vinita Aggarwal]

Hi,

We have been a major Mailman mail list user (12,000 members; 100
messages/day) using a version (2.1.5) installed by a consultant two years
ago.   We were lucky until about a month ago when the server went down, and
major problems have been cropping up ever since.  Many members have stopped
receiving mails, and the server has continued to crash intermittently.  

We are getting very concerned about our continued operation.  Is anyone on
this list located in New Delhi India with all-purpose expertise on Mailman
who is immediately available to examine our code and do what is needed to
get our system stable again?

If so, please e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]  with your contacts,
credentials and rates. 

Thanks, 

Vinita Aggarwal

Re: [Mailman-Users] Is there an easy way to discard all messages waiting to be reviewed

[Vinita Aggarwal]

Hi

I have a list where non members can post but their messages are moderated, I
ave to deal with a lot of spam. After sometime, just a small percentage of
them will be good posts. 

Is there an easy way to discard all messages waiting to be reviewed?

I don't have any option in my admin to select more than one message?

That depends on your OS.  I suggest you identify what OS and version 
you're using, and then make use of their support mechanisms to answer 
any OS-specific questions you may have.

That's possible, so you should first ask the other people on your 
team if anyone has messed with your cron jobs.

[Mailman-Users] refresh my cross post list with updated members in sub lists after every 10 minutes

[Vinita Aggarwal]

Hi 

 

I had a cron which used to refresh my cross post list with updated members
in sub lists after every 10 minutes.

 

It seems that cron is not working.

 

Please advise how to check that and if someone has deleted that cron then
how to make that.

 

I am a new person in this team and seems that someone who had access to my
machine has troubled it.

  write cron script that does something similar to this (typed free
hand, mileage may vary), or perhaps runs opportunistically, so that
your creating the actual list membership nearly on the fly

LIST=/tmp/list3.lst

Re: [Mailman-Users] no dupes across lists?

[Vinita Aggarwal]

Hi,

I have Three lists [EMAIL PROTECTED] (1000 members) and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(1500 members) and [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Now, In [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have only
two members i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I send any message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it goes to all the members of
list1 and list2 but the members who are in both list1 and list2 gets
duplicate copies. How to prevent that? I don't want to send duplicate
messages.


Please advise.

This is definitely a gmail 'feature' to the extent that you won't see
your own list posts because they are 'duplicates' of the sent message.

Since you quote a web interface error message, I assume you are trying
to create a list via the web create page.

Are you providing the correct Mailman site password or Mailman list
creator password as set by bin/mmsitepass for the "List creator's
(authentication) password:" at the bottom of the form?  

Note that as root or the Mailman user, you can also create a list using
bin/newlist.

Give these commands (newlist, mmsitepass) with the --help option for
more info.

I thought you earlier wrote that SpamAssassin *is* being run by the
ISP, but "can't be used" with Mailman.  If SpamAssassin is installed,
I don't understand why you can't use it with Mailman.

Lack of spam filtering is not just another feature that might not be
provided in today's mail environment; it's a complete loss of service
waiting to happen.  IMHO YMMV etc, but I strongly advise you be
proactive on this.

Re: [Mailman-Users] How to stop spam emails

[Vinita Aggarwal]

Hi

I am not very sound in mailman configuration.

I have a list in which anyone can post. "Hold the positing from non
members".

Now, I am getting everyday about 100s of spam emails in that list. Please
advise how to deal with this?

which is our case, because of the call to 'arch'

I didn't understand well this solution. can you please explain it, how 
can a subscriber/address do the external archiving ?


Thank you in advance

Re: [Mailman-Users] Is there any way, where I can select more than one message to approve/discard?

[Vinita Aggarwal]

No... this option is not available.

Please suggest some other alternative.

If you're using a recent version of Mailman, at the top and bottom of 
the web page that shows the moderation queue for each list is a check 
box that says "Discard all messages marked Defer".  You'll have to 
take explicit action on those messages you want to allow through the 
system, but leave the rest set to "Defer", which should be the 
default.

Then select this one check box, and hit the button which says "Submit 
All Data".

Re: [Mailman-Users] Is there any way, where I can select more than one message to approve/discard?

[Vinita Aggarwal]

Hi 

I am new to mailman ...

I have a mailman list. Everyday, I am getting 20-30 messages (few are useful
and few are junks). I have to first approve the message to get circulated. 

Is there any way, where I can select more than one message to
approve/discard? 

Please suggest?

Vinita Aggarwal

Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Too many Bounce action notifications

   From: "Vikram Goyal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
   Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 14:36:13 +1000

   I maintain a medium sized mailing list (over 4) to which a
   newsletter is sent out every few weeks. Till recently, I had no issues
   with this list, but after the last newsletter was sent out, I have
   started receiving "Bounce action notifications" by the truckload.

Just as something else to consider...

Do the bounce messages quote the newsletter or at least the subject line?
Are you sure it is the newsletter that is bouncing?  Do the email addresses
returning a bounce match subscribers to your list?

There is a new style of spam (well, not that new) that spoofs your return
address and sends out massive amounts of messages to random people (it has
a specific name I can't recall).  Then you get all the bounces (because a
percentage of people will always bounce).

When this has happened to me, I typically get 3-5000 (yes, thousand) bounce
messages over the course of a couple of days.  My husband just got his
first one two and it completely overwhelmed his account.  It has nothing to
do with running a mailing list, though you are more vunerable if your
address is out there on the net.

What you're describing sounds an awful lot like this.  Especially since you
have set up bounces for your list not to come to you.  It sounds like the
address that was spoofed was one used by MM, which would slow down the
system for sure.

Of course, I may be totally off here, but I wanted to throw it out there
just in case.
