[Mailman-Users] Mailing List Membership Reminder displays Asterisks

[Jaco van Dyk]

 Good day,

Our institution runs version:  2.1.34

The mailing lists memberships reminder mail going out to subscribed members
displays all the passwords as asterisks:
List Password // URL
 
lis...@lists.com
https://lists.com/mailman/options/list01/1.j.vandyk%40com

lis...@lists.com   
https://lists.com/mailman/options/list02/1.j.vandyk%40com

I would like to set the emails to display the passwords but cannot find the
setting or info on how to accomplish it.

Would you perhaps be able to guide me in the correct direction?

Thank you,

Jaco

The distributed GNU Mailman 2.1.34 cron/mailpasswords does not do this.
Either your site has modified this script or you have installed Mailman
from a package and the packager has modified it or you have some (very
sophisticated) software in your MTA that is able to recognize passwords
in emails and obfuscate them.

Since the latter is highly unlikely, if you replace the
cron/mailpasswords script with
,
that will probably solve your issue.

[Mailman-Users] Question on /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/LISTNAME/attachments/

[Bader, Robert (Bob)]

I see files in var/lib/mailman/archives/private/LISTNAME/attachments/.  I did 
some searching and found that :


The stored attachments have been scrubbed from the 'plain' format
digest. This happens whether or not anyone actually subscribes to the
'plain' format digest. The only way to avoid it with configuration
settings is to set Digest options -> digestable to No (i.e. disable
digests).

Otherwise, you could set up a cron to periodically remove them, but
then if you actually have 'plain' digest sebscribers, you'll break the
links in their digests.


Some of the lists that that files in attachments does not have archived turned 
on and no users do not have digest set.

So if I under stand this these attachments are kept because under “digest 
options” “digestible is set to “on”. Is that correct? So even if no user have 
digest on , the list keeps attachments?


So what is the best way to clear these files, can I just clear out the 
attachments directory?  If no users have digest set , then this will be un 
notable. But if user have digest on and it is set to PLAIN, then that could be 
an issue?

You posted this exact message to this list two days ago and it was
