[Mailman-Users] Any way to prevent un-subscribing?

2008-10-01 Thread Elizabeth Schwartz
Our administration wants to use a mailman list for broadcast-only official communications to students. I've been asked to prevent the students from un-subscribing. Is there a way to do that in any version of mailman? And/or any other convenient mechanism? The list is a bit unwieldy for plain emai

I'm sorry , this one was our screwup. An old test list was around with a name that was one letter off. (It would be a nice touch if the 'vette' log showed which list the discarded mail was sent to...) -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@

reject_these_nonmembers and discard_these_nonmembers are both empty (looking at the web interface) The discarded messages appear in vette, but not with the list name, just a line like this: Oct 23 14:31:42 2006 (6918) Message discarded, msgid: < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> I changed the "should be forwar

I am running mailman 2.1.8 on Solaris 10 with sendmail. I have an umbrella list which seems to be discarding messages from non-members. With the settings below, I expected that the correct behavior would be to hold the messages: On the Privacy options: Action to take for postings from non-

Oh nevermind, I am on crack. This wouldn't work. You'd still have to use some intermediate filter to decide what was a reply and what was an original. On 9/27/06, Elizabeth Schwartz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would think you could make it work "outside the sy

I would think you could make it work "outside the system" by setting reply-to-poster, then changing the alias for the list to go both to the list processing command, and to a dummy-user . Then pipe the dummy user's mail into something that is web-accessible. You could use another mailman list, and

Thanks again for all your help. I checked in last night and mailman was hung again, but this time I saw that the OutgoingRunner process was missing, and there are errors in the error log: Sep 23 08:10:17 2006 (2180) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit (pid: 1592, sig: None, sts: 1, class: Outg

Sigh... OK, thank you all for the help. I think I understand now! My theory: my **original** problem was a large HTML message gunking up the out box. Having cleaned that out, it sounds like I then proceeded to trash an afternoon's worth of messages by trying to flush the queue incorrectly. Fortun

I'm running mailman 2.1.8 on Solaris 10 (06/06) After working fine for a month, my mailman install broke this morning (I know something must have changed but I can't see what!) Mail sent to lists ends up in /usr/local/mailman/qfiles/out . If I run unshunt, nothing changes. If I run unshunt /usr/
