Here's an overview of how it works: - -<P> -When a bounce is received, Mailman tries to extract two pieces of -information from the message: the address of the member the message -was intended for, and the severity of the problem causing the bounce. -The severity can be either <i>hard</i> for fatal errors, or -<i>soft</i> for transient errors. When in doubt, a hard severity is -used. - -<P> -If no member address can be extracted from the bounce, then the bounce -message is usually discarded. Every member has a <i>bounce score</i>, -initialized at zero, and every time we encounter a bounce from a -member we increment that member's score. Hard bounces increment by 1 -while soft bounces increment by 0.5. We only increment the bounce -score once per day, so even if we receive ten hard bounces from a -member per day, their score will increase by only 1 for that day. - -<P> -When a member's bounce score is greater than the <i>bounce score -threshold</i> (see below), the member's subscription is disabled. Once -disabled, the member will not receive any postings from the list until -their membership is explicitly re-enabled, either by the list -administrator or the user. However, they will receive occasional -reminders that their membership has been disabled, and these reminders -will include information about how to re-enable their membership. You -can control both the number of reminders the member will receive and -the frequency with which these reminders are sent. - -<P> -There is one other important configuration variable; after a certain -period of time - during which no bounces from the member are received -- the bounce information is considered stale and discarded. Thus by -adjusting this value, and the score threshold, you can control how -quickly bouncing members are disabled. You should tune both of these -to the frequency and traffic volume of your list. +Mailman comes with a built-in web-based archiver called +<em>Pipermail</em>, although it can be configured to use external, +third party archivers. <P> <DL> -<DT><STRONG>bounce_processing</STRONG></DT> -<DD>Specifies whether or not this list should do automatic bounce - processing. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>bounce_score_threshold</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This is the bounce score above which a member's subscription will - be automatically disabled. When the subscription is re-enabled, - their bounce score will be reset to zero. This value can be a - floating point number. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>bounce_info_stale_after</STRONG></DT> -<DD>Thenumber of days after which a member's bounce information is - considered stale. If no new bounces have been received in the - interrim, the bounce score is reset to zero. This value must be - an integer. +<DT><STRONG>archive</STRONG></DT> +<DD>This option tells Mailman whether to archive messages it receives + or not, regardless of whether Pipermail or a third party archiver + is used. Turn this off if you don't want to archive messages. <P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings</STRONG></DT> -<DD>The number of notices a disabled member will receive before their - address is removed from the mailing list's roster. Set this to 0 - to immediately remove an address from the list once their bounce - score exceeds the threshold. This value must be an integer. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval</STRONG></DT> -<DD>The number of days between each disabled notification. - -<P> -</DD> -<DT><STRONG>bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This variable controls whether unrecognized bounces are discarded, - or forwarded on the list administrator. The bounce detector isn't - perfect, although personalization can make it much more accurate. - The list owner may want to receive unrecognized bounces so that - they can manually disable or remove such members. +Note that senders can control whether their own posts are + archived, on an individual per-message basis. If the posted + message has a <span class="mailheader">X-No-Archive:</span> header (regardless of + value), or a <span class="mailheader">X-Archive:</span> header with a value of + <code>No</code> (case insensitive), then the message will not be + archived, although it will be treated as normal in all other + ways. <P> </DD> -<DT><STRONG>bounce_notify_owner_on_disable</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This option controls whether or not the list owner is notified - when a member's subscription is automatically disabled due to - their bounce threshold being reached. +<DT><STRONG>archive_private</STRONG></DT> +<DD>Controls whether Pipermail archives are private or public. + Private archives require a valid member address and password, or a + list administrator password in order to access them. This + option has no effect when a third party archiver is used. <P> </DD> -<DT><STRONG>bounce_notify_owner_on_removal</STRONG></DT> -<DD>This option controls whether or not the list owner is notified - when a member is removed from the list after their disabled - notifications have been exhausted. +<DT><STRONG>archive_volume_frequency</STRONG></DT> +<DD>Controls how Pipermail splits messages in the archive. The most + common option is <em>Monthly</em> meaning a new archive volume is + started every month. Very high volume lists may want a shorter + frequency (e.g. <em>Weekly</em> or <em>Daily</em>) where as lower + volume lists may want a longer frequency (e.g. <em>Yearly</em>). + This option has no effect when a third party archiver is used. </DD> </DL> <P> <DIV CLASS="navigation"> -<p><hr> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<p></p><hr /> <table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> <tr> -<td><A HREF="node25.html"><img src="../icons/previous.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Previous Page" width="32"></A></td> -<td><A HREF="node9.html"><img src="../icons/up.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Up One Level" width="32"></A></td> -<td><A HREF="node27.html"><img src="../icons/next.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Next Page" width="32"></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="2.8 The Bounce Processing" + href="node25.html"><img src='previous.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="2 The List Configuration" + href="node8.html"><img src='up.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Up One Level' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="next" title="2.10 The Mail/News Gateway" + href="node27.html"><img src='next.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Next Page' width='32' /></A></td> <td align="center" width="100%">GNU Mailman - List Administration Manual</td> -<td><A href="contents.html"><img src="../icons/contents.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Contents" width="32"></A></td> -<td><img src="../icons/blank.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="" width="32"></td> -<td><img src="../icons/blank.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="" width="32"></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="contents" title="Table of Contents" + href="contents.html"><img src='contents.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Contents' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> </tr></table> -<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node25.html">3.7.4 Spam Filters</A> -<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node9.html">3 The List Configuration</A> -<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node27.html">3.9 The Archiving Options</A> -<hr> -<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on October 2, 2004.</span> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="prev" href="node25.html">2.8 The Bounce Processing</A> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="node8.html">2 The List Configuration</A> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node27.html">2.10 The Mail/News Gateway</A> +</div> +</div> +<hr /> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 13, 2004.</span> </DIV> <!--End of Navigation Panel--> |
