[Mailman-Users] control mail distribution ..

Dear mailman guys.. is there way to tell mailman to send certain number of messages per hour? I have 57 lists on 18 servers for my customers and I’m having trouble with hotmail and yahoo rejecting mail from my servers and causing a lot of subscribed addressed to be removed from the lists becau

[Mailman-Users] Content Filtering

I don't know a lot about scripts, so the most useful answers would involve just telling me what settings to use. I would like to have content filtering turned on, because I would like to make sure that attachments don't go out on the list, and especially the dangerous ones. Here are my proble

[Mailman-Users] Are any attachments ok to allow on a listserv?
