[Mailman-Users] No address verification for one user.

2001-06-26 Thread Peter Hutnick
Hello, I have one user who can't subscribe. He did the first step, and the subscribe log lists him as "pending." He has not received the conformation email. His webserver is on a dynamic DNS system. He can receive mail to his host from "everyone" except Mailman lists. (Verified with a SF lis

Ahmad, Mailman is a mailinglist management program. It is not a mass mailer. It is designed to allow a large number of users to mail each other, not for a single person to mail a lot of people. For instantce, a bunch of people taking the same programming class might have a list, or a bunch of

Let me start this by saying that I am not a developer, I don't know any of the developers, and I have no personal interest in this whole thing. I am sure that there are people on this list who's methods of personal interaction are distasteful to some others on the list. I think that this has bee

It might be better just to have your MTA strip attachmnets on incoming messages to the list, before Mailman ever sees them. This will probably be easier to manage. For instance, your message would have been blocked if this list was set up to block messages with attachments, but if the MTA at

I would like to point out while GAP is "source available" and therefore might be reasonably called "open source" it is NOT "Open Source" (as defined at http://www.opensource.org/osd.html) and is most certainly not Free Software. I write this not out of some sort of license zealotry, but this

As I said earlier, I (for no good reason) thought this option "turned on" the "without implicit approval" field below. Maybe it is time for glasses (or just a nap.) Someone replied that this option sends non-member messages to the list admin. Is there a way to just blackhole them? -Peter >

[Mailman-Users] Require approval for non-members

I would like to configure a list so that members post directly, but non-members require approval. I really don't want to have to constantly keep a list of all of the member is the "don't need approval" list. I'm sorry if I am just missing the option for this or if it is answered elseware. -Pete
