This is probably true, but it doesn't need to be. Normally the lists filter administrivia. So if you put the administrivia filter HOLD before the non-member filter DISCARD, Daevid should win here, too.

So if you put the administrivia filter HOLD before the non-member filter DISCARD, Daevid should win here, too. All that needs to be done to do administrivia filtering before non-member reject/discard is to rearrange the GLOBAL_PIPELINE (in mm_cfg.py) to put 'hold' before 'moderate', or create a 'pipeline' attribute for the list which is like GLOBAL_PIPELINE but with 'hold' before 'moderate'. However, this will have other effects which may or may not be undesirable. Thus, a patch to just move the administrivia test might be preferable. The real problem, and the reason I didn't mention administrivia in my original reply, is I don't think the administrivia filter as it currently exists is going to be very effective for arbitrary I want to subscribe requests sent to the list posting address. It only catches things that look like syntactically correct commands.=, i.e., lines that look like keyword arg list where 'keyword' is a command and 'arg list' is an appropriaite length for the command. Thus it will catch a message with subject or a body line subscribe me but it won't catch please subscribe me or even subscribe me to this list -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Auto discard non-members messages
I'm starting to see a lot of spam sent to my two lists. Both are members only. I'd like mailman to automatically discard any messages sent to the list from non-members. However, I would like to accept (and send to me/admin) any subscribe request messages (otherwise, how would I get new members ;-) Can someone tell me how to do this? -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

If you mean a message sent to the list posting address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with a subject or message body saying please subscribe me or something like that, then you can't do what you want because these messages will be discarded like any other non-member post. If you consider a subscribe request to be a message sent to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] address or to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address with subject or body subscribe, then this is easy. You can set subscribe_policy to require your approval or not. You can set admin_notify_mchanges to Yes so you get notified of subscribes and unsubscribes. You can set generic_nonmember_action to Discard so non-member posts will be discarded. So, if you're not concerned about subscribe requests sent to the list posting address, you can discard all non-member posts. If you want to see a potential subscribe request that's sent to the list posting address, then you have to Hold non-member posts. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
