Re: [Mailman-Users] How can i make a list public so people who are not subcribed can send a message?
I also would like to allow non-subscribers to send to a closed list, but I would like auto-approve based on a custom header... Anyone modified Mailman for that?

Well, as I said in my message... "You can use regular expressions here if you wish." :-) If you click the "(Details for accept_these_nonmembers)" next to the text box you'll see a little additional help, which says: "Postings from any of these non-members will be automatically accepted with no further moderation applied. Add member addresses one per line; start the line with a ^ character to designate a regular expression match." Thus rather than using the limited glob-style pattern matching such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] you instead use full regular expression pattern matching such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] If the local part of the sender addresses (the bit to the left of the "@") follows a set pattern for all the customers who can send to the list then it might be possible to model that too. For example, if the local part for each customer was of the form "initals.surname" then you might like to try something like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and thus prevent postings from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (because "joe" doesn't match this format). You will need to read up on the syntax used for these regular expressions. For example "." means "any one character", whereas "\." means "the single character which really is a '.'"

hmmm, ok you are right with the spammers :) but my customer wants to open the list for everyone. but another question: is it possible to work with wildcards or domains like [EMAIL PROTECTED] or cuto.dom so only acceptance is for the domains above? by the way :) > has mailman an irc channel? ;) thank you yavuz On 3/13/07, Mike Brudenell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Greetings - > > On 13 Mar 2007, at 10:09, TRON478 wrote: > > > i need the following scenario: > > > > someone should be able to send to the list while he is not > > subscribed to the > > list. > > > > This seems to works, but the list admin must approve this.

If you want ALL non-members to be able to post to the list then change the setting which is currently telling Mailman to put messages from non-members on hold until they are approved: Go to the list's management pages, then --> Privacy Options --> Sender filters --> Change "Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined. (Details for generic_nonmember_action)" setting from "Hold" to "Accept". Then sit back and wait for spammers to find your list's address: their junk will then be immediately distributed to all the list's members. :-} Alternatively if you only want SOME non-members to be able to post to the list then, on the same page as above, put their e-mail addresses into the "List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted. (Details for accept_these_nonmembers)" text box. You can use regular expressions here if you wish. ...And just hope the spammers don't happen to forge messages to your list as being from one of these addresses. :-} Cheers, Mike B-) -- The Computing Service, University of York, Heslington, York Yo10 5DD, UK Tel:+44-1904-433811 FAX:+44-1904-433740 * Unsolicited commercial e-mail is NOT welcome at this e-mail address. * -- 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=show&file=faq01.027.htp
[Mailman-Users] How can i make a list public so people who are not subcribed can send a message?
hi, i need the following scenario: someone should be able to send to the list while he is not subscribed to the list. This seems to works, but the list admin must approve this. Is it possible WITHOUT approval? thank you yavuz -- 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=show&file=faq01.027.htp
