[Mailman-Users] How to change the creation of a new list email from the through-the-web interface?
We are planning to implement spam blocking as I found in some postings on the net. Presenty, when we create a new list it sends an email of the form The mailing list `xyz' has been created via the through-the-web interface. In order to complete the activation of this mailing list, the proper /etc/aliases (or equivalent) file must be updated. The program `newaliases' may also have to be run. Here are the entries for the /etc/aliases file: xyz: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman post xyz" xyz-admin:"|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman admin xyz" xyz-bounces: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman bounces xyz" xyz-confirm: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman confirm xyz" xyz-join: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman join xyz" xyz-leave:"|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman leave xyz" xyz-owner:"|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman owner xyz" xyz-request: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman request xyz" xyz-subscribe:"|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe xyz" xyz-unsubscribe: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe xyz" However, if we are implementing spam processing (I I understand things properly) then we really need the above lines created to be xyz: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc post xyz" xyz-admin:"|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc admin xyz" xyz-bounces: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc bounces xyz" xyz-confirm: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc confirm xyz" xyz-join: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc join xyz" xyz-leave:"|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc leave xyz" xyz-owner:"|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc owner xyz" xyz-request: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc request xyz" xyz-subscribe:"|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc subscribe xyz" xyz-unsubscribe: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc unsubscribe xyz" Otherwise it will be necessary to process the aliases entries in some way, which I would like to avoid. Can that be automated so it generates the proper lines in the email output?

Re: [Mailman-Users] gzipped archive files.
On our system, we do a monthly rotation of archives, and keep about 12 months of the gzipped files in the *.mbox directories. Then periodically we clean up the archives when we are running out of space and truncate the archives which can be downloaded, to either 6 or 12 months using the arch --wipe mailman feature. However, we still are running out of space on our mailman server and I was looking around where I might gain some space. I noticed that we are gzipping the archive files, nightly with 27 3 * * * /usr/bin/python -S /opt/mailman/cron/nightly_gzip but it also leaves a copy of the uncompressed archives. Is this the proper behavior? Is it possible to only have the gzipped archives and not the text files? If I comment out the above nightly_gzip line will it cause a problem?
