[Mailman-Users] Edit automated responses

2019-11-22 Thread Christian F Buser via Mailman-Users
Hi all 

I have a list which uses Mailman 2.1.27 running on cPanel 78.0.44.

The list has a size limit for the contributions (max_message_size). 

When a user sends a message which exceeds the limit, he receives a message that 
his contribution will either need approval of a moderator or be deleted. 

Can this message be edited so that the user is informed that his contribution 
is deleted (so not to mention the possibility of a moderator approval)? 

And is it possible to "auto-delete" contributions exceeding the size limit - 
without the interaction of a moderator? 

Thank you, Christian

Hi Christian,

I believe the template that governs that message is the postheld.txt. It 
seems to be a generic template that is used for any post that is held 
for any reason. You can access this template via your list admin 
interface and it is called "User notice of held post". To access it 
click on the "Edit the public HTML pages and text files" link in your 
list admin interface.

Brian has answered this, but note as he says, the postheld.txt template
is generic for all held messages, not just those held for being too big.

Not without modifying source code.
