Just use that host name in your email address to completely bypass Postini. Maybe. But not if the ISP has configured that MTA to reject port 25 connections from any sending machines except Postini's . So the method needs to be tested from an outside address (Gmail accounts are handy for this sort of thing, in addition to being handy generally). --John -- 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
[Mailman-Users] Protecting Administrators
I run about 80 lists via Mailman. My ISP uses a spam filtering program called PostIni. All mail goes through it, even though individual users may turn it off -- which I have. Apparently, things can happen that cause PostIni to block mail to a user, it seems to happen at times of heavy spam, but the ISP doesn't seem to know much more, and they say the Postini folks won't talk about it, they consider it to be proprietary info. Anyway, this is a long way to say that even though I am Administrator, I occasionally get disabled on one or more lists. With so many lists I occasionally miss the message that Mailman sends. Then I am off the list, and don't know it. Is there any way to protect a list subscription, despite bounces?

But, if you're sure Postini is the problem, you can bypass it for your list mail. For example, the MX records for value.net go to various psmtp.com (Postini) servers, but Postini has to deliver somewhere which in my case is mail.value.net, so any mail addressed to me at mail.value.net bypasses Postini completely. If you look at the Received: headers in your incoming mail, the one at the top (last one added) will give the name of the server that your mail was finally delivered to. Just use that host name in your email address to completely bypass Postini. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
