Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: mailing list
QmailAdmin has MOST of the controls you need for ezmlm -- list/add/remove subscribers, list/add/remove moderators, as well as the ability to edit most list behaviors (who can post, how much moderation is involved, how subscribe/unsubscribe requests are handled, archiving/indexing options, and so on. *The biggest problem for most of US (admins) is that we assume qmailadmin is just for admins!* After all, we /almost never/ use any account other than *postmaster*! Do yourself a favor and look at the USER interface of qmailadmin (put your own email address password in vs. postmaster). In the case of lists, if the user is a moderator of a list, the list options will be there for them, as well as the lists to which they moderate. I'm not sure what shows up if you're just a list member -- I'll have to look into that! :-) I've never looked into Mailman -- another thing to put on my QMT list... :-) Dan McAllister On 7/17/2013 11:56 PM, Eric Shubert wrote: Dan's suggestion is indeed the simplest solution. I don't know to what degree qmailadmin can be used to manage list accounts though. Some time ago though, I was frustrated by ezmlm's lack of a web interface for users to manage their list account. So I set up Mailman to work with QMT, and wrote up how to do it (because I would likely forget): http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Mailman Mailman is head and shoulders above any other FOSS list processing software out there, and is actively developed and maintained. FWIW, I even went so far as to implement the web portion of Mailman on a separate host from the mail portion. That hasn't apparently been done very often (although it makes logical sense to me). In the long run, I'd like to have mailman available as an alternative list processing package in QMT. I don't expect that to happen any time soon, but following the wiki directions above should get you a mailman setup running with QMT quite nicely in a reasonably short amount of time. If there's anyone else out there running Mailman with QMT, I'd like to hear about your experience with it. -- PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF OUR NEW ADDRESS === IT4SOHO, LLC 33 - 4th Street N, Suite 211 St. Petersburg, FL 33701-3806 CALL TOLL FREE: 877-IT4SOHO 877-484-7646 Phone 727-647-7646 Local 727-490-4394 Fax We have support plans for QMail!

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Mailing List
The thing I'm worried about is our mail server is used by our customers that want to send pages through our system. There are hundreds of emails that get processed everyday and I can't get all of them into the whitelist. The pages are very important to emergency services. I don't want to inadvertently block a doctor from getting a page. I was able to unblock the ip address and I am getting qmailtoaster emails now. I had to just block around it.

You can have separate rules by domain or even by user if need be. Once size often does not fit all. You might want to whitelist recipient addresses that are for emergency services. There will most likely be very few if any cases beyond that which you would need to whitelist, providing you implement rules appropriate to your situation. The default configuration file is a good starting point, which will produce very few false positives. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com

Thanks, Scott There's a function built in to send an email to everyone in a domain. I don't know how well that works or not though. I think I'd look at modifying that capability to do it for all domains on the server. That way you shouldn't need to mess with ezmlm or subscriptions. -- -Eric 'shubes' - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

I'm working for my owner, who can be reached at qmailtoaster-list-ow...@qmailtoaster.com. Messages to you from the qmailtoaster-list mailing list seem to have been bouncing. I've attached a copy of the first bounce message I received. The error my toaster gives back is this: Remote host said: 554 DomainKeys verify status: bad format (#5.3.0) Now, I wonder if anyone else has this too? It looks like that either means people on this list write to the list with wrong domainkeys setup OR my toaster's domainkey setup is not doing something right? Any ideas? Thanks, Martin DomainKeys (DK) on QMT is broken. On incoming messages, it errantly reports some messages as having invalid keys. I used to think that the bugs only affected incoming messages, but recently I had some incoming messages rejected because DK was trying to sign them. How that happened I have no idea, but the messages were coming from, of all places, another QMT system! I haven't looked into this aspect in any detail yet. The best thing to do imo is to disable domainkeys. There are posts in the archive and possibly the wiki on how to do that. DKIM, on the other hand, is an entirely different animal. I haven't implemented this yet, but I'm sure Jake has something to say about DKIM. And now, here's Jake! :) DKIM is a merger of domainkes and Identified Internet Mail. Supposed to be the best of both worlds. I have a video on how to implement DKIM over on the video site. It is oly for outgoing, since Spamassassin scores incoming for Domainkeys and DKIM anyway, so I would suggest scoring them in there since you're running it anyway... - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

But I also just subscribed to this list with a googlemail address where the mails in question will hopefully arrive - that way I can try to find out what is wrong with the way it is now. using dkim is no alternative insofar as I can't control who uses dk to sign emails that I receive and i prefer having the dk verification not done by spamassassin if possible. :-) I guess if all else fails I will still have to disable verification in tcp.cdb and have spamassassin do it, though.

I would not like to disable this altogether. Also, would enablin the spamassassin domainkey check be an alternative to having simscan/qmailq do it?
