A "shameless" endorsement for Mr Bollow.

He set up my mailman listserver at alist4u.com.
The man is a veritable mailman "guru."
His service/expertise is excellent and
his fees are more than reasonable.
Very happy in all respects. :-)

[Mailman-Users] Bi-Monthly Reminders

2002-03-08 Thread Sam Williams

Hi everyone!

I am new to this list, but am currently admining a system using Mailman.  We
just changed our servers over one of the problems is that it changed the
individuals passwords.  Since we did the conversion on March 1, the old
system went ahead and sent out the monthly reminders to all the subscribers
and they contained their old passwords - not the ones for the new server.
Also, the person maintaining the system left late last year and I know he
edited sending out reminder messages from once a month to twice a month.

We send out reminder messages - twice a month.

1)  How do we send out an immediate reminder message to get the correct
passwords out?
2)  How can we edit how often the reminder messages are sent?

Thanks

Sammy Williams

[Mailman-Users] Digest having attachments per message

2002-03-15 Thread Sam Williams

Hi folks, we just changed over from an old server to a new one.  A couple
users are telling me that they are receiving file attachments for each email
sent.  They are subscribed to receive the messages via the digest version.
The old server didn't do this.

Does anyone know if this is a setting in Mailman?  If so, where?  I can't
fins it in the Admin user interface, but you can imagine how annoying this
is.

Thanks

[Mailman-Users] "bad" email addresses

2001-03-18 Thread Sam Brooks

Hi,

New to the list.  Considering replacing my hacked version of Majordomo with
Mailman.

Question;

How does Mailman handle "bad" email addresses?

e.g.

New compuserve member, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Decides to use a mail forwarding service and subs to a list
under [EMAIL PROTECTED] and has email forwarded
to his compuserve address.

Later on, switches to another ISP and "kills" compuserve email address.

List mail starts to bounce.  Compuserve returns the mail as a bounce.
However, no such compuserve address in the subscriber list.

I know that Lyris "tags" individual mail to handle that type of problem.
Does Mailman do the same sort of thing?  Or is there some alternative
way in Mailman to deal with that sort of thing.

TIA

Sam

[Mailman-Users] questions

2004-03-31 Thread Sam Howard
i would like to ask you a couple of questions. for example,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] march is vol. 5 and each digest is an issue.
i know how to go on line and read each message. is there a way to go on
line and read the messages by digest, volume and issue, or ar those digests
only composed and sent to my inbox? also, can i send a request to the list
address and get messages or digests resent to my inbox via email, or do i
have to actually have to go to the archives to reread them? so you see, i
actually have 2 different questions. the version for the list is 2.1.4.
thank you. Sam Howard.

[Mailman-Users] Manual archive digester? Unique problem?

2004-04-09 Thread Sam Lewit
I run a website and mailing lists that uses Mailman. Our website is 
protected for members only. The ML archives are also flagged as private 
(this is a club... highly paranoid).

I want to put the archives onto the private website, but here's the 
problem. This version of Mailman is installed by the host and I DO NOT have 
access to any configurations or even the archives themselves. The location 
of the data files are "jailed off" to us in the shell.

My thoughts are to manually download the monthly archives in its "raw" 
form, run it through something that will digest it into useable form 
(threaded, searchable perhaps?), and put that on the website every month. 
Anyway know of anything like that?

My only other alternative would be to somehow link to the Mailman archives 
on this website, but we're trying to avoid members from first having to log 
into the website, then having to log into the archives.

Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. I searched the FAQS and 
archives. I found "archive digesters", but my understanding is that I'd 
have to tweak the configuration of Mailman and again I have no access to 
the inner configuration.

Thanks
Sam

[Mailman-Users] Deleting all lists and any trace of mailman from our systems

Hello,
Apologies for blundering in and emailing the wrong lists - I need to get rid of 
all of the mailman delivery systems that my organisation has previously set up 
- I have most of the admin passwords as far as I'm aware, but I'm unfamiliar 
with this system - I have tried to look up the answer in previous threads on 
this forum but I don't understand what the commands mean and how to operate the 
system. Please can I get some guidance before I flip out like a ninja and alarm 
my colleagues.

[Mailman-Users] Host won't upgrade, what are my options?

2005-11-02 Thread Sam Santos
I have a problem with my current host (Hostway). The only "upgrade" to
mailman they support would result in me losing my archives and basically
starting from scratch.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the mailman installation... at least
not as far as I can tell (warning: I'm fairly new to this side of things).
Is there any hope for my archives at all?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Host won't upgrade, what are my options?

2005-11-02 Thread Sam Santos
Mark and Brad...
I was able to pull up the mbox file using Mark's sample URL. However, it
only goes as far back as May 2003. When I look at my archives that seems to
be when it first started creating Gzip'd Text Files for each month.

Beyond that I have stuff that dates as far back as Feb, 2001, but it didn't
appear to be inside the mbox file. Is there another mbox file floating
around or does that really old stuff predate the mbox file format? If so, is
it collected into one file somewhere by any chance?

Thanks for the help and info.

[Mailman-Users] Any easy way to remove one email address from a queued message?

2006-04-26 Thread Sam Cannell
Our mail server is choking on a (syntactically incorrect) recipient
address for a message in Mailman's queue.  The message has been
delivered to some of the recipients, but Mailman keeps retrying this one
address and not continuing with the rest:

2006-04-27 09:10:18 SMTP call from localhost (hostname.removed)
[127.0.0.1] U=list dropped: too many syntax or protocol errors (last
command was "rcpt TO:<'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'>")
2006-04-27 09:25:19 SMTP call from localhost (hostname.removed)
[127.0.0.1] U=list dropped: too many syntax or protocol errors (last
command was "rcpt TO:<'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'>")

I've replaced the email address in those logs, but the invalid part is
the ''s around it.  Is there any way I can remove the invalid address
from the message to allow it to deliver to the rest of the recipients?

Thanks,

Sam

I'd prefer to do it this way, however I haven't really worked much with
that side of mailman.  I've looked around the mailman site for
information about the classes and functions I have access to through
withlist, but haven't had a lot of luck.  Is there any documentation
like this online?

Thanks,

Sam

"grep -r  /usr/lib/mailman/" finds Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py which
appear to hard-code the rejection messages.

Feature request:

1. for "class SuspiciousHeaders": optionally add the name and the value
   of the suspicious header to the rejection message. the moderator then
   can remove it if he wants to, but it gives him valuable fedback on
   which rules trigger.

2. for all rejection messages, allow a common custom explanation.
   e.g., I find it very inconvenient to have to insert
   "See <http://clisp.cons.org/faq.html#rejected> for details."
   after each rejection message.

Thanks!

[Mailman-Users] Email management

2005-02-23 Thread Sam Bergin
Hi group,
	New member, sorry if this has been asked before.  I'm looking to setup 
Mailman on an OS X Server and pairing it to a full web front-end.  The 
website is that of an association of some 8000 members, all of whom 
will need to be automatically subscribed when we cut over to the new 
system.  (We can add the current members thru the Mailman web 
interface).  New members will need to choose desired lists during their 
initial signup, and all members will need to be able to unsubscribe 
from the website front-end as well.

So...can Mailman support complete email 
subscribing/unsubscribing/administration by an administrator on behalf 
of users?

Thanks!

[Mailman-Users] config.pck, apache, permissions and Errno 13

2005-09-13 Thread Sam Gamgee
hello everyone,

I am writing this e-mail as a sort of last resort. Believe me I've tried hard, 
but can't find a solution to the following problem.

-I installed mailman on a debian server with postfix.

-all mailing lists work.

-webinterface works.

now, whenever the cronscripts run, or somebody sends a mail over one of the 
lists, the permissions of some file (usually something like: 
"/var/lib/mailman/lists/listname/config.pck") will change from www:mailman to 
mailman:mailman.

after this happens, I can no longer access the web-interface.
The result:

Bug in Mailman version 2.1.5
We're sorry, we hit a bug!
If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of this 
page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what happened. 
Thanks!

I was then thorougly confused by suexec stuff 
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=recent&days=365250

one the one hand, this suggests I should run everything as mailman:mailman and 
on the other hand I am warned strongly against this in the mailman 
installation docs. not to mention that the apache docs concerning suexec are 
daunting. well as apache doc are ;-)


and DON'T tell me to run check_perms!

so now here is my question:
can anybody help me?

I'm sorry I was mistaken earlier. It's a ubuntu server and not debian.
I installed the mailman package first. Here however I received:


Command output: Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail wrapper 
script to be executed as group "daemon", but the system's mail server 
executed the mail script as group "mailman".  Try tweaking the mail server to 
run the script as group "daemon", or re-run configure,  providing the command 
line option `--with-mail-gid=mailman'. 


I then installed from source with the "--with-mail-gid=mailman" option. 
Thats the situation I'm in now -> I can mail, but I can't use the web 
interface properly.

which file permissions are wrong? which ones do I have to change?
check_perms -f changes get undone constantly and I don't know by what.


if check_perms reports some "group list and not mailman" stuff I don't 
experience any problems and nothing changes when I fix them.
When my web-interface doesn't work i.e.
ls -l /var/lib/mailman/lists/listname/
total 24
-rw-rw1 mailman  mailman  4284 Sep 14 12:00 config.pck
then it will not work regardless of what check_perms says or does.

all I know is: if I chown -R www-data /var/lib/mailman/lists then it works 
again.

thanks! that did it.
the permissions were wrong, and they weren't being corrected by check_perms -f

for me it was:
/var/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/
which is:
/var/lib/mailman/cgi-bin -> /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman

anyway. it works now :))

thank you for your patience.

Other useful regex resources include:

https://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/~bmg/software/Perl%20Books/RegExp_perl_python_java_etc.pdf

- https://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html (Jan Goyvaerts).

- Goyvaerts also sells a tool called RegexBuddy that works like Regex101

  software and requires Windows (or Wine), but if you don't mind that
  then it is a good way to learn regexes.  https://www.regexbuddy.com

Good luck!

Because Mailgun is US-owned and therefore subject to the Cloud Act,
using Mailgun (or any other US-owned SaaS) may cause GDPR issues.
Depends whose personal data you would be giving to Mailgun; what kind of
data; justifications for giving it to them, etc.

See, e.g.:

If any of your users are EU/EEA residents, you might therefore prefer to
use a system under the ultimate control of an entity based in the
EU/EEA.

(I wouldn't say I'm "in the Mailman world" except that I use Mailman
sometimes.  But I hope you don't mind me making the point above, because
it's an important one that might otherwise not get mentioned.)

N.B. The above is European law.  For the global version, see instead:

Article 12.  No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference
with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks
upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the
protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

See also RFC 7258:

Pervasive Monitoring (PM) is widespread (and often covert)
surveillance through intrusive gathering of protocol artefacts,
including application content, or protocol metadata such as headers.
...  The IETF community's technical assessment is that PM is an
attack on the privacy of Internet users and organisations.

Just wondering... I can see that the above would be true in the case of
lists that allow anybody to post.  But is it true even in the case of
lists that can only be posted to by subscribers?

(Well, I guess that Subscriber A could spoof their message as being from
Subscriber B.  But barring pathological cases like that, presumably
Mailman can match the sender's email address against the subscriber list
and find the value of the corresponding name field.)

You may want to give some thought to, and to then specify in a follow-up
in this thread, what you mean by "secure" in this context.

For example, you might want security properties such as:

- Every message sent to the list can be authenticated by its recipients.

- Every message sent to the list is robustly encrypted to prevent its
  being readable by non-members.

- For the property/ies above to be immune to rogue CAs.

- Some combination of the above.

It may be helpful to ask yourself: what is your threat model?

Also, which key distribution mechanisms are available to you?  (For
instance: are the list members able to meet in person for key exchange?)

[Mailman-Users] Subject field not included in wrapper of DMARC emails

2021-02-13 Thread Sam Kuper
Dear Mailman folk,

I am subscribed to an OpenWRT mailing list, which (according to the
X-Mailman-Verson header in emails I receive from the list) uses Mailman
2.1.29.

Most of the mail on that list comes through just fine.

DMARC email comes through with the Subject: field blank, though.

Is that expected?  https://wiki.list.org/DEV/DMARC does not appear to
mention the Subject: header being left out of the wrapper, when Mailman
wraps a message to satisfy DMARC.  This means that in my MUA, those
messages are displayed without a Subject.

An example of an affected email is shown below, including the full
headers.

Is there a Mailman 2 setting that I could recommend to the OpenWRT list
managers, that would make Mailman copy the Subject: header from the
original message to the wrapper, so that my MUA would show the subject
as intended by the sender?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Sam

The two sentences imply different requirements.

Even if you satisfy the requirements in the first sentence, any attacker
on the wire will be able to capture ("monitor") the emails; and the
headers will be in plain-text (including the Subject header, sender, and
recipients), even if the body and attachments are encrypted:
https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/why-metadata-matters

Also, if the attacker has compromised the CA, then they will potentially
be able to decrypt S/MIME messages (but not OpenPGP messages, if the
encryption and key generation were well-implemented[1]).

If you really want to satisfy the requirements in the second sentence,
then you might want to look at DIME (aka Darkmail), mixers, or
alternatives to email:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Mail_Alliance

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mix_networks

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_remailers

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutanota

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProtonMail

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Internet_privacy_software

[1] At least, not unless affordable quantum computing is available to
the attacker.  If it is, then you would also need to use a
quantum-resistant cipher.  Unfortunately, doing that is still very
inconvenient to do using GnuPG or similar.

[Mailman-Users] Re: API/App based access to Mailman/Archives

Maybe recommend that people using your mailing lists use
threading-aware, plain text capable mail clients like Thunderbird
(desktop) or K-9 Mail (mobile)?

One helpful thing you might be able to do for users unused to email is
to give them direct links to constantly-updated mbox archives of the
relevant mailing lists, and instructions for importing those into their
email client to gain local, searchable access to the archives (much as
would be the case upon joining a forum, with the additional benefit of
not needing to be online to perform the searches).

Can I just say thank you for:

- trying to slow or reverse the takeover of independent discussion
  venues by surveillance-industrial-complex social media and advertising
  companies;

- trying to find ways to keep email and mailing lists accessible and
  meaningful to people who have a very small grasp - and perhaps,
  initially at least, an even smaller interest in - the underlying
  technologies (and the ideals of universal interoperable, accessible
  standards that those technologies represent).


On a few occasions, I have tried to get organisations to use Mailman
instead of proprietary abominations like Slack or MS Teams.  It was not
easy; and in some cases I was not successful.

I wish you the best possible fortune in your endeavours.

I'm just a lurker here.  After seeing Brian's emails since joining this
list, I had bookmarked EMWD as the commercial ML host to recommend to
people.

Huge respect for his commitment to Mailman hosting, and his parallel
commitment to sharing his knowledge.  I never knew him and never had
occasion to be an EMWD customer, and I miss him.

Clearly worked his butt off in life.  I'm sad that his time to rest came
so prematurely, and wish his family fortitude.  He left them an amazing
set of pointers for continuing his technical legacy.

You posted your thread to the Mailman 2.1 mailing list:

mailman-users@python.org

You therefore got a reply appropriate to Mailman 2.1.

The Mailman 3 mailing list is at 

mailman-us...@mailman3.org

(I'm sorry, but I don't know how to discard with Mailman 3.  Maybe

[Mailman-Users] Re: Amazon SES and mailman

2023-05-05 Thread Sam Darwin
Also posted this question to the mailman3 list yesterday. Andrew
Hodgson sent an informative answer, so that's probably it. "Amazon SES
rewrites the Message-ID. Yep and for this reason I don't use it. The
problem is worse in Mailman3 because it has a much more superior
archive display which gets ruined when people reply to messages with
different Message-Id headers and the threading can't be observed. I
also had to use the anonymous mode with my list as Amazon didn't like
me using random addresses in the From: header. I'm still looking for a
tolerant mail gateway to use with Mailman."

[Mailman-Users] List name stripped from subject header - how to prevent/workaround this?

2007-01-26 Thread Jacob Sam-La Rose
(just realised my last message didn't have a subject...  Doh!)

Hi there,

I've recently configured a mailman mailing list.  Among other things,  
I've been thrown by the fact that any time I mention the name of the  
list in the "subject:" of an email, it gets stripped.  The public  
name for the list is FYI, the prefix for the subject line is FYI -  
and if I write FYI anywhere in the subject line, it's automatically  
removed.  I don't often mention the name of the list, but it'd be  
good to know what to do if I need to.

Thanks,

Jacob.//

[Mailman-Users] List security: approved line got mailed out to list users

2007-01-26 Thread Jacob Sam-La Rose
Hi.

I've got my list configured as an announcement-only list, and the  
first few mailings I've sent have gone through exactly as planned.  I  
use "Approved: password" as the first line to approve mailings.  I  
inadvertently sent email to the list from one of my other email  
addresses, and when the message went out, the Approved: line was  
there, intact.  There was a space above it, if that means anything  
(the sent email doesn't have that space...)

I changed the password - easily done, no security problems there.   
But I'd still like to know what could have allowed this to happen.   
Since then, I've set up a test list and tried to replicate the  
behaviour - thus far no success.  Anyone have any suggestions as to  
what might have happened?

Thanks,

Jacob Sam-La Rose

Sent as email straight to the list - didn't have to be manually  
approved - it went straight through.

It was in the first text/plain part - though in the sent version I've  
got of the mail, the Approved: line is the very first line.  Once it  
went through the list, there was a line space at the top of the  
email, before the Approved: line...

[Mailman-Users] help list seems to be working but not sending

2004-06-25 Thread C y b e r sAM
Mailman 2.1 seems to be running fine on my Unix Red Hat 9/Plesk 6.0 
server.  I can log in through the admin panel and change any setting, 
add my emails via mass subscription etc.  However, when I send an email 
to my list nothing gets delivered and I receive no undelivered message.

I have checked your site but cannot find out what might be causing this.
Everything within mailman seems to be working fine except that the "go 
to list archives" link goes to here: 
http://porky.devel.redhat.com/pipermail/listname/

FYI My Mailman 2.1 program came bundled with my plesk 6.0 server 
software.  Is it possible that it is installed incorrectly?

http://lists.cyberbuss.com/mailman/admin/

Any information that you can provide that may help me solve this problem 
would be helpful.

Thanks in advance I am absolutely stumped.
