I don't understand this discussion. /mailman/listinfo/ is indeed the default "list of known advertised lists". It's constructed on the fly by Mailman and should include every list that 1) matches and 2) is advertised as "public". > ah so. > > understood... > > So.. there's no way, from withi

Re: [Mailman-Users] config.db being set to 'root'

2001-10-26 Thread Dan Mick
The directories have to be set with g+s, and your OS has to respect that (i.e. new files created in such directories need to inherit the group ownership of the parent dir). I suspect that those of you having problems are either missing a g+s bit somewhere or have an OS that doesn't implement this

One can do a very small amount of hacking to Mailman/Handlers/SpamDetect.py and accomplish the "drop without further notice" action. It's been useful for spammers for me. Basically, you just add to the list in the file; the comments are pretty readable; take a look and see what you think. > Hi
