[Mailman-Users] spam filtering messages containing certain 8 bit characters

2011-10-12 Thread William Yardley
Does Mailman base64 decode the subject before applying a regex, and if so, can I use UTF-8 character names in the regex to match various types of 8-bit characters? Say, for example, that I want to block messages with "电话卡" somewhere in the subject line. Obviously, the actual raw Subject header wi

2011-04-27 Thread William Yardley
http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030545 seems to suggest that it's possible to enable personalization (for headers / footers of messages), without enabling VERP itself (for the envelope-sender of messages). Is that correct? Some of the mailing list messages I have seen seem to im

So I had a list configuration get hosed recently, and unfortunately, my only backups were from after the configuration got hosed. Fortunately, I had a Mailman subscription log dating back to before the list was created, so I decided to throw together a little script to rebuild the subscriber list.
