Re: [Mailman-Developers] A bit of perspective ....

I suppose it can be, but it is a question of where you implement your security. If mailman is to use SQL to store preferences then it is up to mm to deal with what records a user can update. If the mm interface to LDAP goes through one master LDAP account, then it is still mm's job... But if mm bin

I feel bad about jumping in to this discussion, and not necessaraly being prepared to offer any real help, but anyway. LDAP may be a better data[base|sink] for configuration data then SQL. It may be harder to work with (only because less people have experience with it), and it may be less usefull t

I just happen to remember a note from the Cyrus-IMAP docs that may help you, if you happen to be running linux with ext2.

- If all the SPAM is coming from one server, block the server at the SMTP level. - Spammers using Mailman to send out spam is a Spam problem, not a Mailman problem. - Spammers might not actually be using Mailman, just forging the appearance of mail. I think this is far more likely. While all of sp

Im not what you could consiter a power user as far as Mailman is concerned, but it is my understanding that there is more then one way for messages to get into the 'admindb' (if thats what the to-be-moderated queue is called). Being flaged as spam would be another way to enter that queue. How it g

I have a couple of questions. First: If I was to submit a (compleate) set of patches that allow at least some per list configuration for SpamAssassin integration, would they be accepted? As a first attempt I would be just concerned with setting the score, and actions to take. Likely it would be

Uh, because ISPs cant be deleting mail, ever? Or at least deleting messages with an extreemly high score. Tag everything and leave it up to something else to deal with. Something else being procmail, seive, mailman, or the end user agent. Even if you want resonably scored spam not to reach Mailman

ID 840426 This is different from the 'other' SA handler as it deals with pre-taged messages. IMHO this is far more likely to be the case in an ISP enviroment. The general concensious on my MTA's mailing list being that all mail should be tagged, flagged, and passed on leaving it up to 'something
