Actually, this kind of rejection should be done within the MTA,
before the message ever gets to Mailman. If the message you want t

All you need to do, then, is run 'configure' with the same options you
gave it the first time, then compile and install normally. The new

Has anyone come up with a good management for passwords. We are about to
introduce Mailman to the university and many are concerned about password
management and generating a lot of helpdesk calls. We currently are running
Listproc on a Solaris. We want to move to Mailman on a RedHat Linux box.

Just to expand on what Lindsay is saying:
Rejecting 'spam' mails means that mailman will send a message back
saying the message w

Privacy Options | Sender Filters | reject_these_nonmembers will accept a

an address that
