Re: [Mailman-Users] Missing Installation Instructions?

2002-02-09 Thread Jon Carnes

2002-02-09 Thread Delpy
I think this may have something to do with HTML posts to the lists. I've heard filtering for this will be an option in 2.1. In the interim, www.exim.org (the MTA I'm using w/OpenBSD 2.9) uses Mailman 2.08 and manages to ship decent digests. Maybe they'd be willing to give up the secret... As soon

For the lists that I manage on SourceForge, I would like to block all emails with 'content-type: text/html'. This would significantly reduce the amount of spam that appear on my lists. I've added that expression to the bounce_matching_header (privacy) option, and it seems to block message that con

There are other solutions but this seem the best - until 2.1 ;) Caveats are explained in the patch. I got taken for a ride immediately by applying the patch to the working directory (don't do that). What needs to be done in the *install* directory is make clean, apply the patch, ./configure [your

When you create a newlist with the newlist cmd, is it supposed to automatically update the aliases file?  I noticed it didn't and I set the new list name as an alias and pointed it to the mailman user. Is this correct?
