List members can +elect to receive postings in bundles call <i>digests</i> one or a few +times a day, or they can receive messages immediately whenever the +message is posted to the list. This latter delivery mode is also +called <i>non-digest delivery</i>. There are two administrative +categories available for separately controlling digest and non-digest +delivery. You can even disable one or the other forms of delivery +(but not both). + +<P> +Both kinds of delivery can have list-specific headers and footers +added to them which can contain other useful information you want your +list members to see. For example, you can include instructions for +unsubscribing, or a url to the lists digest, or any other information. + +<P> +Non-digest deliveries can also be <i>personalized</i> which means +certain parts of the message can contain information tailored to the +member receiving the message. For example, the <span class="mailheader">To:</span> header +will contain the address of the member when deliveries are +personalized. Footers and headers can contain personalized +information as well, such as a link to the individual user's options +page. + +<P> +In addition, personalized messages will contain extra information that +Mailman can use to unambiguously track bounces from members. +Ordinarily, Mailman does some pattern recognition on bounce messages +to determine list members whose addresses are no longer valid, but +because of the vagaries of mail systems, and the countless forwards +people can put in place, it's often the case that bounce messages +don't contain any useful information in them. Personalized messages +avoid this problem by encoding information in certain headers that +unambiguously identify the recipient of a message. If that message +bounces, Mailman will know exactly which member it was intended for. + +<P> +Note that because personalization requires extra system resources, it +must be enabled by the site administrator before you can choose it. + +<P> +Here are the variables which control non-digest delivery: + +<P> +<DL> +<DT><STRONG>nondigestable</STRONG></DT> +<DD>This option controls whether members can receive immediate + delivery or not. If not, they will be forced to receive messages + in digests.

For non-English +lists, the headers and footers can contain any character in the +character set of the list's preferred language. The headers and +footers can also contain <i>substitution variables</i> which Mailman +will fill in with information taken from the mailing list.

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.

Without going into lots +of detail, this information will help you understand how the +configuration options control Mailman's functionality. + +<P> +When mail enters the system from your mail server, it is dropped into +one of several Mailman <i>queues</i> depending on the address the +message was sent to. For example, if your system has a mailing list +named <var>mylist</var> and your domain is <var>example.com</var>, people can +post messages to your list by sending them to +<var>mylist@example.com</var>. These messages will be dropped into the +<i>incoming</i> queue, which is also colloquially called the +<i>moderate-and-munge</i> queue. The incoming queue is where most of +the approval process occurs, and it's also where the message is +prepared for sending out to the list membership. + +<P> +There are separate queues for the built-in archiver, the bounce +processor, the email command processor, as well as the outgoing email +and news queues. There's also a queue for messages generated by the +Mailman system. Each of these queues typically has one <i>queue +runner</i> (or ``qrunner'') that processes messages in the queue. The +qrunners are idle when there are no messages to process. + +<P> +Every message in the queues are represented by two files, a message +file and a metadata file. Both of these files share the same base +name, which is a combination of a unique hash and the Unix time that +the message was received. The metadata file has a suffix of +<span class="file">.db</span> and the message file has a suffix of either <span class="file">.msg</span> if +stored in plain text, or <span class="file">.pck</span> if stored in a more efficient +internal representation<A NAME="tex2html1" + HREF="#foot41"><SUP>1</SUP></A>. + +<P> +As a message moves through the incoming queue, it performs various +checks on the message, such as whether it matches one of the +moderation criteria, or contains disallowed MIME types. Once a +message is approved for sending to the list membership, the message is +prepared for sending by deleting, adding, or changing message headers, +adding footers, etc. Messages in the incoming queue may also be +stored for appending to digests. + +<P> +<BR><HR><H4>Footnotes</H4> +<DL> +<DT><A NAME="foot41">... representation</A><A + HREF="node8.html#tex2html1"><SUP>1</SUP></A></DT> +<DD>Specifically, a Python pickle + +</DD> +</DL> +<DIV CLASS="navigation"> +<p><hr> +<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> +<tr> +<td><A HREF="node7.html"><img src="../icons/previous.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Previous Page" width="32"></A></td> +<td><A HREF="node4.html"><img src="../icons/up.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Up One Level" width="32"></A></td> +<td><A HREF="node9.html"><img src="../icons/next.gif" + 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> +</tr></table> +<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node7.html">2.3 A List's Web</A> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node4.html">2 Introduction to GNU</A> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node9.html">3 The List Configuration</A> +<hr> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on October 2, 2004.</span> +</DIV> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</BODY> +</HTML> diff --git a/admin/www/mailman-admin/node9.html b/admin/www/mailman-admin/node9.html new file mode 100644 index 00000000..bb4b7afc --- /dev/null +++ b/admin/www/mailman-admin/node9.html @@ -0,0 +1,168 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> +<html> +<head> +<title>3 The List Configuration Pages</title> +<META NAME="description" CONTENT="3 The List Configuration Pages"> +<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="mailman-admin"> +<META NAME="resource-type" CONTENT="document"> +<META NAME="distribution" CONTENT="global"> +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> +<link rel="STYLESHEET" href="mailman-admin.css"> +<link rel="first" href="mailman-admin.html"> +<link rel="contents" href="contents.html" title="Contents"> + +<LINK REL="next" HREF="node32.html"> +<LINK REL="previous" HREF="node4.html"> +<LINK REL="up" href="contents.html"> +<LINK REL="next" HREF="node10.html"> +</head> +<body> +<DIV CLASS="navigation"> +<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> +<tr> +<td><A HREF="node8.html"><img src="../icons/previous.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Previous Page" width="32"></A></td> +<td><A href="contents.html"><img src="../icons/up.gif" + border="0" height="32" + alt="Up One Level" width="32"></A></td> +<td><A HREF="node10.html"><img src="../icons/next.gif" + 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> +</tr></table> +<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node8.html">2.4 Basic Architectural Overview</A> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" href="contents.html">Contents</A> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node10.html">3.1 The General Options</A> +<br><hr> +</DIV> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +<H1><A NAME="SECTION002300000000000000000"> +3 The List Configuration Pages</A> +</H1> + +<P> +After logging into the list configuration pages, you'll see the +configuration options for the list, grouped in categories.
