[Mailman-Users] Footers as Attachments
Some of my users have complained about getting an attachment with each message. The attachment seems to be the footer fort the list. It also looks like this may be an Outlook thing. Is this true? Is there anything to be done to change it. I would guess that changing to text-only messages would do it, but that isn't necessarily a popular option either.

[Mailman-Users] Footers As Attachments
I've been using Mailman for a long time for several small lists that I maintain. There are two configuration issues that I still do not understand. First, messages sent to participants have the footer as an attachment. The only way I could get rid of the attachment was to delete the footer text. The messages on this list have the footer, and it is not showing up as an attachment, so I am doing something wrong. The other question has to do with bounce processing. When I load a new list of email addresses, how can I check for bad ones other than wait until there are enough bounces within a period of time to unsubscribe? It would be very helpful to be able to designate an email address to which ALL bounces are sent. Can that be done?

The messages on this list have the footer, and it is not showing up as an attachment, so I am doing something wrong. See the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/84A9 The footers are not (usually) separate MIME parts on this list because people tend to post plain text, and this list uses Mailman's content filtering to remove non plain text parts from posts so the footers can be added to the simple plain text message body.

It would be very helpful to be able to designate an email address to which ALL bounces are sent. Can that be done? When you load a new list of email addresses, invite the list rather than subscribing it. Problem solved. There already is an address to which all bounces are sent. It is listname-boun...@... If you have control over the MTA that delivers this mail, you can deliver it anywhere you want. You can also set the bounce processing threshold score to 1 to disable delivery and notify the admin upon the first bounce. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Is that Option 2? Yes, that's option 2. Note, if your list is an announcement type of list, and you want to post HTML (rich text), you can always remove the list's msg_footer and just include the equivalent at the bottom of your posts. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Here's one suggestion. filter_content: Yes filter_mime_types: empty pass_mime_types: multipart message/rfc822 text/plain text/html filter_filename_extensions: default (it doesn't matter much with the above in pass_mime_types) pass_filename_extensions: empty collapse_alternatives: Yes convert_html_to_plaintext: Yes This will ensure only plain text is delivered to the list and will accept essentially all text/plain parts of a message and in addition will accept HTML that is not a multipart/alternative sub-part and use an external command (defaults to lynx) to convert the HTML to plain text. It will break or remove signatures from some signed mail. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
