This file is part of the PSNFSS bundle, version 9 +% +% Authors: S. Rahtz, P. MacKay, Alan Jeffrey, B. Horn, K. Berry, W. Schmidt +% +% Idea is to have all the characters normally included in Type 1 fonts +% available for typesetting. This is effectively the characters in Adobe +% Standard Encoding + ISO Latin 1 + extra characters from Lucida + Euro. +% +% Character code assignments were made as follows: +% +% (1) the Windows ANSI characters are almost all in their Windows ANSI +% positions, because some Windows users cannot easily reencode the +% fonts, and it makes no difference on other systems. The only Windows +% ANSI characters not available are those that make no sense for +% typesetting -- rubout (127 decimal), nobreakspace (160), softhyphen +% (173). quotesingle and grave are moved just because it's such an +% irritation not having them in TeX positions. +% +% (2) Remaining characters are assigned arbitrarily to the lower part +% of the range, avoiding 0, 10 and 13 in case we meet dumb software. +% +% (3) Y&Y Lucida Bright includes some extra text characters; in the +% hopes that other PostScript fonts, perhaps created for public +% consumption, will include them, they are included starting at 0x12. +% +% (4) Remaining positions left undefined are for use in (hopefully) +% upward-compatible revisions, if someday more characters are generally +% available. +% +% (5) hyphen appears twice for compatibility with both ASCII and Windows. +% +% (6) /Euro is assigned to 128, as in Windows ANSI +% +/TeXBase1Encoding [ +% 0x00 (encoded characters from Adobe Standard not in Windows 3.1) + /.notdef /dotaccent /fi /fl + /fraction /hungarumlaut /Lslash /lslash + /ogonek /ring /.notdef + /breve /minus /.notdef +% These are the only two remaining unencoded characters, so may as +% well include them. + /Zcaron /zcaron +% 0x10 + /caron /dotlessi +% (unusual TeX characters available in, e.g., Lucida Bright) + /dotlessj /ff /ffi /ffl + /.notdef /.notdef /.notdef /.notdef + /.notdef /.notdef /.notdef /.notdef + % very contentious;

It is known to be + missing sections and hasn't been proofread completely yet. However, + I'm putting it online anyhow because some questions have come up on + the lists which are answered in here. + + 2 Introduction to GNU Mailman + + GNU Mailman is software that lets you manage electronic mailing lists. + It supports a wide range of mailing list types, such as general + discussion lists and announce-only lists. Mailman has extensive + features for controlling the privacy of your lists, distributing your + list as personalized postings or digests, gatewaying postings to and + from Usenet, and providing automatic bounce detection. Mailman + provides a built-in archiver, multiple natural languages, as well as + advanced content and topic filtering. + + Mailman provides several interfaces to its functionality. Most list + administrators will primarily use the web interface to customize their + lists. There is also a limited email command interface to the + administrative functions, as well as a command line interface if you + have shell access on the Mailman server. This document does not cover + the command line interface; see the GNU Mailman site administrator's + manual for more details. + +2.1 A List's Email Addresses + + Every mailing list has a set of email addresses that messages can be + sent to. There's always one address for posting messages to the list, + one address that bounces will be sent to, and addresses for processing + email commands. For example, for a mailing list called + mylist@example.com, you'd find these addresses: + + * mylist@example.com - this is the email address people should use + for new postings to the list. + * mylist-join@example.com - by sending a message to this address, a + new member can request subscription to the list. Both the Subject: + header and body of such a message are ignored. Note that + mylist-subscribe@example.com is an alias for the -join address. + * mylist-leave@example.com - by sending a message to this address, a + member can request unsubscription from the list. As with the -join + address, the Subject: header and body of the message is ignored. + Note that mylist-unsubscribe@example.com is an alias for the + -leave address. + * mylist-owner@example.com - This address reaches the list owner and + list moderators directly. + * mylist-request@example.com - This address reaches a mail robot + which processes email commands that can be used to set member + subscription options, as well as process other commands. + * mylist-bounces@example.com - This address receives bounces from + members who's addresses have become either temporarily or + permanently inactive. The -bounces address is also a mail robot + that processes bounces and automatically disables or removes + members as configured in the bounce processing settings. Any + bounce messages that are either unrecognized, or do not seem to + contain member addresses, are forwarded to the list + administrators. + * mylist-confirm@example.com - This address is another email robot, + which processes confirmation messages for subscription and + unsubscription requests. + + There's also an -admin address which also reaches the list + administrators, but this address only exists for compatibility with + older versions of Mailman. + +2.2 Administrative Roles + + There are two primary administrative roles for each mailing list, a + list owner and a list moderator. A list owner is allowed to change + various settings of the list, such as the privacy and archiving + policies, the content filtering settings, etc. The list owner is also + allowed to subscribe or invite members, unsubscribe members, and + change any member's subscription options. + + The list moderator on the other hand, is only allowed to approve or + reject postings and subscription requests. The list moderator can also + do things like clear a member's moderation flag, or add an address to + a list of approved non-member posters. + + Normally, the list owner and list moderator are the same person. In + fact, the list owner can always do all the tasks a list moderator can + do. Access to both the owner's configuration pages, and the moderation + pages are protected by the same password. However, if the list owner + wants to delegate posting and subscription approval authority to other + people, a separate list moderator password can be set, giving + moderators access to the approval pages, but not the configuration + pages. In this setup, list owners can still moderate the list, of + course. + + In the sections that follow, we'll often use the terms list owner and + list administrator interchangably, meaning both roles. When necessary, + we'll distinguish the list moderator explicitly. + +2.3 A List's Web Pages + + Every mailing list is also accessible by a number of web pages. Note + that the exact urls is configurable by the site administrator, so they + may be different than what's described below. We'll describe the most + common default configuration, but check with your site administrator + or hosting service for details. + + Mailman provides a set of web pages that list members use to get + information about the list, or manage their membership options. There + are also list archive pages, for browsing an online web-based archive + of the list traffic. These are described in more detail in the GNU + Mailman user's manual. + + Mailman also provides a set of pages for configuring an individual + list, as well as a set of pages for disposing of posting and + subscription requests. + + For a mailing list called mylist hosted at the domain + lists.example.com, you would typically access the administrative pages + by going to http://lists.example.com/mailman/admin/mylist. The first + time you visit this page, you will be presented with a login page, + asking for the list owner's password. When you enter the password, + Mailman will store a session cookie in your browser, so you don't have + to re-authenticate for every action you want to take. This cookie is + stored only until you exit your browser. + + To access the administrative requests page, you'd visit + http://lists.example.com/mailman/admindb/mylist (note the admindb url + as opposed to the admin url). Again, the first time you visit this + page, you'll be presented with a login page, on which you can enter + either the list moderator password or the list owner password. Again, + a session cookie is dropped in your browser. Note also that if you've + previously logged in as the list owner, you do not need to re-login to + access the administrative requests page. + +2.4 Basic Architectural Overview + + This section will outline the basic architecture of GNU Mailman, such + as how messages are processed by the sytem. Without going into lots of + detail, this information will help you understand how the + configuration options control Mailman's functionality. + + When mail enters the system from your mail server, it is dropped into + one of several Mailman queues depending on the address the message was + sent to. For example, if your system has a mailing list named mylist + and your domain is example.com, people can post messages to your list + by sending them to mylist@example.com. These messages will be dropped + into the incoming queue, which is also colloquially called the + moderate-and-munge 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. + + 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 queue runner + (or ``qrunner'') that processes messages in the queue. The qrunners + are idle when there are no messages to process. + + 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 .db and + the message file has a suffix of either .msg if stored in plain text, + or .pck if stored in a more efficient internal representation1. + + 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. + + 3 The List Configuration Pages + + After logging into the list configuration pages, you'll see the + configuration options for the list, grouped in categories. All the + administrative pages have some common elements. In the upper section, + you'll see two columns labeled ``Configuration Categories''. Some + categories have sub-categories which are only visible when you click + on the category link. The first page you see after logging in will be + the ``General Options'' category. The specific option settings for + each category are described below. + + On the right side of the top section, you'll see a column labeled + ``Other Administrative Activities''. Here you'll find some other + things you can do to your list, as well as convenient links to the + list information page and the list archives. Note the big ``Logout'' + link; use this if you're finished configuring your list and don't want + to leave the session cookie active in your browser. + + Below this common header, you'll find a list of this category's + configuration variables, arranged in two columns. In the left column + is a brief description of the option, which also contains a + ``details'' link. For many of the variables, more details are + available describing the semantics of the various available settings, + or information on the interaction between this setting and other list + options. Clicking on the details link brings up a page which contains + only the information for that option, as well as a button for + submitting your setting, and a link back to the category page. + + On the right side of the two-column section, you'll see the variable's + current value. Some variables may present a limited set of values, via + radio button or check box arrays. Other variables may present text + entry boxes of one or multiple lines. Most variables control settings + for the operation of the list, but others perform immediate actions + (these are clearly labeled). + + At the bottom of the page, you'll find a ``Submit'' button and a + footer with some more useful links and a few logos. Hitting the submit + button commits your list settings, after they've been validated. Any + invalid values will be ignored and an error message will be displayed + at the top of the resulting page. The results page will always be the + category page that you submitted. + +3.1 The General Options Category + + The General Options category is where you can set a variety of + variables that affect basic behavior and public information. In the + descriptions that follow, the variable name is given first, along with + an overview and a description of what that variable controls. + + 3.1.1 General list personality + + These variables, grouped under the general list personality section, + control some public information about the mailing list. + + real_name + Every mailing list has both a posting name and a real name. The + posting name shows up in urls and in email addresses, e.g. the + mylist in mylist@example.com. The posting name is always + presented in lower case, with alphanumeric characters and no + spaces. The list's real name is used in some public information + and email responses, such as in the general list overview. The + real name can differ from the posting name by case only. For + example, if the posting name is mylist, the real name can be + Posting. + + owner + This variable contains a list of email addresses, one address + per line, of the list owners. These addresses are used whenever + the list owners need to be contacted, either by the system or + by end users. Often, these addresses are used in combination + with the moderator addresses (see below). + + moderator + This variable contains a list of email addresses, one address + per line, of the list moderators. These addresses are often + used in combination with the owner addresses. For example, when + you email mylist-owner@example.com, both the owner and + moderator addresses will receive a copy of the message. + + description + In the general list overview page, which shows you every + available mailing list, each list is displayed with a short + description. The contents of this variable is that description. + Note that in emails from the mailing list, this description is + also used in the comment section of the To: address. This text + should be relatively short and no longer than one line. + + info + This variable contains a longer description of the mailing + list. It is included at the top of the list's information page, + and it can contain HTML. However, blank lines will be + automatically converted into paragraph breaks. Preview your + HTML though, because unclosed or invalid HTML can prevent + display of parts of the list information page. + + subject_prefix + This is a string that will be prepended to the Subject: header + of any message posted to the list. For example, if a message is + posted to the list with a Subject: like: + + Subject: This is a message + + and the subject_prefix is [My List] (note the trailing space!), + then the message will be received like so: + + Subject: [My List] This is a message + + If you leave subject_prefix empty, no prefix will be added to + the Subject:. Mailman is careful not to add a prefix when the + header already has one, as is the case in replies for example. + The prefix can also contain characters in the list's preferred + language. In this case, because of vagarities of the email + standards, you may or may not want to add a trailing space. + + anonymous_list + This variable allows you to turn on some simple anonymizing + features of Mailman. When you set this option to Yes, Mailman + will remove or replace the From:, Sender:, and Reply-To: fields + of any message posted to the list. + + Note that this option is simply an aid for anonymization, it + doesn't guarantee it. For example, a poster's identity could be + evident in their signature, or in other mail headers, or even + in the style of the content of the message. There's little + Mailman can do about this kind of identity leakage. + + 3.1.2 Reply-To header munging + + This section controls what happens to the Reply-To: headers of + messages posted through your list. + + Beware! Reply-To: munging is considered a religious issue and the + policies you set here can ignite some of the most heated off-topic + flame wars on your mailing lists. We'll try to stay as agnostic as + possible, but our biases may still peak through. + + Reply-To: is a header that is commonly used to redirect replies to + messages. Exactly what happens when your uses reply to such a message + depends on the mail readers your users use, and what functions they + provide. Usually, there is both a ``reply to sender'' button and a + ``reply to all'' button. If people use these buttons correctly, you + will probably never need to munge Reply-To:, so the default values + should be fine. + + Since an informed decision is always best, here are links to two + articles that discuss the opposing viewpoints in great detail: + + * Reply-To Munging Considered Harmful + * Reply-To Munging Considered Useful + + The three options in this section work together to provide enough + flexibility to do whatever Reply-To: munging you might (misguidingly + :) feel you need to do. + + first_strip_reply_to + This variable controls whether any Reply-To: header already + present in the posted message should get removed before any + other munging occurs. Stripping this header will be done + regardless of whether or not Mailman will add its own Reply-To: + header to the message. + + If this option is set to No, then any existing Reply-To: header + will be retained in the posted message. If Mailman adds its own + header, it will contain addresses which are the union of the + original header and the Mailman added addresses. The mail + standards specify that a message may only have one Reply-To: + header, but that that header may contain multiple addresses. + + reply_goes_to_list + This variable controls whether Mailman will add its own + Reply-To: header, and if so, what the value of that header will + be (not counting original header stripping - see above). + + When you set this variable to Poster, no additional Reply-To: + header will be added by Mailman. This setting is strongly + recommended. + + When you set this variable to This list, a Reply-To: header + pointing back to your list's posting address will be added. + + When you set this variable to Explicit address, the value of + the variable reply_to_address (see below) will be added. Note + that this is one situation where Reply-To: munging may have a + legitimate purpose. Say you have two lists at your site, an + announce list and a discussion list. The announce list might + allow postings only from a small number of approved users; the + general list membership probably can't post to this list. But + you want to allow comments on announcements to be posted to the + general discussion list by any list member. In this case, you + can set the Reply-To: header for the announce list to point to + the discussion list's posting address. + + reply_to_address + This is the address that will be added in the Reply-To: header + if reply_goes_to_list is set to Explicit address. + + 3.1.3 Umbrella list settings + + TBD. Note that umbrella lists are deprecated and will be replace with + a better mechanism for Mailman 3.0. + + 3.1.4 Notifications + + Mailman sends notifications to the list administrators or list members + under a number of different circumstances. Most of these notifications + can be configured in this section, but see the Bounce Processing and + Auto-responder categories for other notifications that Mailman can + send. + + send_reminders + By default Mailman sends all list members a monthly password + reminder. This notice serves two purposes. First, it reminds + people about all the lists they may be subscribed to on this + domain, including the lists where their subscription may be + disabled. Second, it reminds people about their passwords for + these lists, as well as the url for their personal options + pages, so that they can more easily configure their + subscription options. + + Some people get annoyed with these monthly reminders, and they + can disable the reminders via their subscription options page. + For some lists, the monthly reminders aren't appropriate for + any of the members, so you can disable them list-wide by + setting the send_reminders variable to No. + + welcome_msg + When new members are subscribed to the list, either by their + own action, or the action of a list administrator, a welcome + message can be sent to them. The welcome message contains some + common boilerplate information, such as the name of the list, + instructions for posting to the list, and the member's + subscription password. You can add additional information to + the welcome message by typing the text into the welcome_msg + text box. Note that because this text is sent as part of an + email, it should not contain HTML. + + send_welcome_msg + This flag controls whether or not the welcome message is sent + to new subscribers. + + goodbye_msg + Like the welcome_msg, a ``goodbye'' message can be sent to + members when they unsubscribe from the list. Unlike the welcome + message, there's no boilerplate for the goodbye message. Enter + the entire goodbye message you'd like unsubscribing members to + receive into the goodbye_msg text box. + + send_goodbye_msg + This flag controls whether or not the goodbye message is sent + to unsubscribing members. + + admin_immed_notify + List moderators get notifications of pending administrative + actions, such as subscription or unsubscription requests that + require moderator approval, or posted messages that are being + held for moderator approval. List moderators will always get a + daily summary of such pending requests, but they can also get + immediate notifications when such a request is made. The + admin_immed_notify variable controls whether these immediate + notifications are sent or not. It's generally a good idea to + leave this set to Yes. + + admin_notify_mchanges + This variable controls whether the list administrators should + get notifications when members join or leave the list. + + respond_to_post_requests + This variable controls whether the original sender of a posting + gets a notice when their message is held for moderator + approval. + + 3.1.5 Additional settings + + This section contains some miscellaneous settings for your mailing + list. + + emergency + When this option is enabled, all list traffic is emergency + moderated, i.e. held for moderation. Turn this option on when + your list is experiencing a flamewar and you want a cooling off + period. + + new_member_options + Each member has a set of subscription options which they can + use to control how they receive messages and otherwise interact + with the list. While the members can change these settings by + logging into their personal options page, you might want to set + the default for a number of the member options. You can do that + with this variable, but see also the other categories for other + member defaults you can set. + + This variable presents a set of checkboxes which control the + defaults for some of the member options. Conceal the member's + address specifies whether or not the address is displayed in + the list roster. Acknowledge the member's posting controls + whether or not Mailman sends an acknowledgement to a member + when they post a message to the list. Do not send a copy of a + member's own post specifies whether a member posting to the + list will get a copy of their own posting. Filter out duplicate + messages to list members (if possible) specifies whether + members who are explicitly listed as a recipient of a message + (e.g. via the Cc: header) will also get a copy from Mailman. + + Of course, members can always override these defaults by making + changes on their membership options page. + + administrivia + This option specifies whether Mailman will search posted + messages for admimistrivia, in other words, email commands + which usually should be posted to the -request address for the + list. Setting this to Yes helps prevent such things as + unsubscribe messages getting erroneously posted to the list. + + If a message seems to contain administrivia, it is held for + moderator approval. + + max_message_size + This option specifies a maximum message size, in kilobytes, + over which the message will be held for moderator approval. + + host_name + This option specifies the host name part of email addresses + used by this list. For example, this is the example.com part of + the posting address mylist@example.com. + + It's generally not a good idea to change this value, since its + default value is specified when the mailing list is created. + Changing this to an incorrect value could make it difficult to + contact your mailing list. Also not that the url used to visit + the list's pages is not configurable through the web interface. + This is because if you messed it up, you'd have to have the + site administrator fix it. + + include_rfc2369_headers + RFC 2369 is an internet standard that describes a bunch of + headers that mailing list managers should add to messages to + make it easier for people to interact with the list. Mail + reading programs which support this standard may provide + buttons for easy access to the list's archives, or for + subscribing and unsubscribing to the list. It's generally a + good idea to enable these headers as it provides for an + improved user experience. These headers are often called the + List-* headers. + + However, not all mail readers are standards compliant yet, and + if you have a large number of members who are using + non-compliant mail readers, they may be annoyed at these + headers. You should first try to educate your members as to why + these headers exist, and how to hide them in their mail + clients. As a last resort you can disable these headers, but + this is not recommended. + + include_list_post_header + The List-Post: header is one of the headers recommended by RFC + 2369. However for some announce-only mailing lists, only a very + select group of people are allowed to post to the list; the + general membership is usually not allowed to post to such + lists. For lists of this nature, the List-Post: header is + misleading. Select No to disable the inclusion of this header. + (This does not affect the inclusion of the other List-* + headers.) + +3.2 The Passwords Category + + As mentioned above, there are two primary administrative roles for + mailing lists. In this category you can specify the password for these + roles. + + The list owner has total control over the configuration of their + mailing list (within some bounds as specified by the site + administrator). Note that on this page, for historical reasons, the + list owner role is described here as the list administrator. You can + set the list owner's password by entering it in the password field on + the left. You must type it twice for confirmation. Note that if you + forget this password, the only way for you to get back into your + list's administrative pages is to ask the site administrator to reset + it for you (there's no password reminders for list owners). + + If you want to delegate list moderation to someone else, you can enter + a different moderator password in the field on the right (typed twice + for confirmation). Note that if you aren't going to delegate + moderation, and the same people are going to both configure the list + and moderate postings to the list, don't enter anything into the + moderator password fields. If you do enter a separate moderator + password, be sure to fill in the moderator variable in the General + options category page. + +3.3 The Language Options Category + + Mailman is multilingual and internationalized, meaning you can set up + your list so that members can interact with it in any of a number of + natural languages. Of course, Mailman won't translate list postings. + :) + + However, if your site administrator has enabled its support, you can + set your list up to support any of about two dozen languages, such as + German, Italian, Japanese, or Spanish. Your list members can then + choose any of your supported languages as their preferred language for + interacting with the list. Such things as their member options page + will be displayed in this language. Each mailing list also has its own + preferred language which is the language the list supports if no other + language context is known. + + These variables control the language settings for your mailing list: + + preferred_language + This is the list's preferred language, which is the language + that the list administrative pages will be displayed in. Also + any messages sent to the list owners by Mailman will be sent in + this language. This option is presented as a drop-down list + containing the language enabled in the available_languages + variable. + + available_languages + This set of checkboxes contains all the natural languages that + your site administrator has made available to your mailing + lists. Select any language that you'd either like your members + to be able to view the list in, or that you'd like to be able + to use in your list's preferred_language variable. + + encode_ascii_prefixes + If your mailing list's preferred language uses a non-ASCII + character set and the subject_prefix contains non-ASCII + characters, the prefix will always be encoded according to the + relevant standards. However, if your subject prefix contains + only ASCII characters, you may want to set this option to Never + to disable prefix encoding. This can make the subject headers + slightly more readable for users with mail readers that don't + properly handle non-ASCII encodings. + + Note however, that if your mailing list receives both encoded + and unencoded subject headers, you might want to choose As + needed. Using this setting, Mailman will not encode ASCII + prefixes when the rest of the header contains only ASCII + characters, but if the original header contains non-ASCII + characters, it will encode the prefix. This avoids an ambiguity + in the standards which could cause some mail readers to display + extra, or missing spaces between the prefix and the original + header. + +3.4 The Membership Management Category + + The Membership Management category is unlike the other administrative + categories. It doesn't contain configuration variables or list + settings. Instead, it presents a number of pages that allow you to + manage the membership of you list. This includes pages for subscribing + and unsubscribing members, and for searching for members, and for + changing various member-specific settings. + + More details on membership management are described in the Membership + Management section. + +3.5 The Non-digest Options Category + + Mailman delivers messages to users via two modes. List members can + elect to receive postings in bundles call digests 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 + non-digest delivery. 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). + + 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. + + Non-digest deliveries can also be personalized which means certain + parts of the message can contain information tailored to the member + receiving the message. For example, the To: 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. + + 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. + + Note that because personalization requires extra system resources, it + must be enabled by the site administrator before you can choose it. + + Here are the variables which control non-digest delivery: + + nondigestable + This option controls whether members can receive immediate + delivery or not. If not, they will be forced to receive + messages in digests. You can't disable non-digest delivery if + digests are already disabled. + + personalize + This option turns on message personalization. + + msg_header + This text box lets you enter information that will be included + in the header of every non-digest message sent through the + list. + + See below for more information on what can go in the headers + and footers. If you leave this text box empty, no header will + be added. + + msg_footer + Just like with the header, you can add a footer to every + message. The same rules apply to footers as apply to headers. + + Headers and footers can contain any text you want. 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 substitution variables which Mailman will + fill in with information taken from the mailing list. These + substitutions are in Python string interpolation format, where + something like %(list_name)s is substituted with he name of the + mailing list. Note that the trailing "s" is required^2. + + For example, a footer containing the following text: + +This is the \%(list_name)s mailing list +Description: \%(description)s + + might get attached to postings like so: + +This is the Example mailing list +Description: An example of Mailman mailing lists + + Here is the list of substitution variables available for your headers + and footers: + + real_name + This is the value of the real_name configuration variable in + the General options category. + + list_name + This is the canonical name of the mailing list. In other words + it's the posting address of the list3. + + host_name + This is the domain name part of the email address for this + list. + + web_page_url + This is the base url for contacting the list via the web. It + can be appended with listinfo/%(list_name)s to yield the + general list information page for the mailing list. + + description + The brief description of the mailing list. + + info + This is the full description of the mailing list. + + cgiext + This is the extension added to CGI scripts. It might be the + empty string, .cgi, or something else depending on how your + site is configured. + + Note that real_name, host_name, description, and info substitution + variables take their values from the list configuration variables of + the same name. + + When personalization is enabled, the following substitution variables + are also available: + + user_address + The address of the recipient of the message, coerced to lower + case. + + user_delivered_to + The case-preserved address that the user subscribed to the + mailing list with4. + + user_password + The user's password, in clear text. + + user_name + The user's full name. + + user_optionsurl + The url to the user's personal options page. + +3.6 The Digest Options Category + + Digest delivery is a way to bundle many articles together into one + package, which can be delivered once per day (if there were any posted + articles), or whenever the package is bigger than a specified limit. + Some users may prefer this style of delivery for higher traffic lists + since they will receive fewer messages. + + Mailman supports two standard digest formats, and if digests are + enabled, users can select which of the two formats they receive. One + is MIME digests, where each message is an attachment inside a + multipart/digest. This format also contains a summary table of + contents, and of course the an optional header and footer, and it + retains most of the headers of the original messages. + + The second type is called ``plaintext'' digests because they are + readable in mail readers that don't support MIME. Actually, they + adhere to the RFC 1153 digest standard. The retain some, but not all + of the original messages, but can also include a summary and headers + and footers. + + Like non-digest delivery, you can enable or disable digest delivery, + but you cannot disable both types of delivery. You can specify + different headers and footers for digest and non-digest deliveries. + You cannot personalize digest deliveries. + + As list administrator, you may want to send an urgent message to all + list members, bypassing the normal digest bundling. To do this, send + the message with a Urgent: header, where the value of the header is + the list administrator's password. Non-digest members will receive the + message like normal, but digest members will receive the message + immediately5. + + Here are the variables which control digest delivery: + + digestable + The option controls whether members can receive digest + deliveries or not. If not, they will be forced to receive + immediate deliveries. You can't disable digests if non-digests + are already disabled. + + digest_is_default + Controls which style of delivery is the default for new + members. You can choose Regular (non-digest) or Digest + delivery. + + mime_is_default_digest + If a member is allowed to choose digests, this variable + controls which is the default digest style they will receive. + Plain digests are RFC 1153 format as described above. + + digest_size_threshold + Normally, digest members get at least one message per day, if + there have been any messages posted to the list. However, for + high volume lists, you may want to send out digests when the + size has reached a certain threshold, otherwise, the one digest + they receive could be huge. This variable controls the size + threshold by specifying the maximum digest size in kilobytes. + Note that this threshold isn't exact. Set this variable to zero + to specify that there is no size threshold, in which case no + more than one digest will be sent out per day. + + digest_send_periodic + This variable actually controls whether or not a digest is sent + daily when the size threshold has not yet been met. If set to + No, then digests will only be sent when they are bigger than + digest_size_threshold. + + digest_header + This text box lets you enter information that will be included + in the header of every digest message sent through the list. + The same information can go in this header as can go in the + msg_header, except for the personalization variables. + + digest_footer + Just like with the header, you can add a footer to every + message. The same rules apply to digest footers as apply to + digest headers. + + digest_volume_frequency + Each digest is numbered with a volume and an issue. This + variable controls how often a new digest volume is sent. When + the digest volume number is incremented, the issue number is + reset to 1. + + _new_volume + This is an action variable, which forces an increment of the + volume number as soon as you submit the form. + + _send_digest_now + This is another action variable. Select Yes, submit the form, + and the current digest is packaged up and sent to digest + members, regardless of size (well, there has to be at least one + message in the digest). + +3.7 The Privacy Options Category + + The Privacy category lets you control how much of the list's + information is public, as well as who can send messages to your list. + It also contains some spam detection filters. Note that this section + is not used to control whether your list's archives are public or + private; for that, use the category. + + There are four sub-categories: + * Subscription rules - i.e. the rules for joining and leaving your + mailing list + * Sender filters - the rules for who may post messages to your list + * Recipient filters - moderation rules based on the recipient of the + message + * Spam filters - some regular expression based rules for header + matching + + The sender, recipient, and spam filtering rules are part of the + general list moderation features of Mailman. When a message is posted + to the list, it is matched against a number of criteria, the outcome + of which determines whether the message is reflected to the membership + or not. In general, the outcome is one of four states: + + * Approved or Accepted - the message may be sent on to the members + of the mailing list. + * Hold - the message will be held for moderator approval. The list + owners and moderators will then have to explicitly approve the + message before the list members will see it. + * Reject - the message is bounced back to the original sender, often + with a notice containing the reason the message was rejected. The + list members never see rejected messages. + * Discard - the message is simply thrown away without further + processing. + + Many of the fields in this section are text boxes accepting addresses, + one per line. Unless otherwise noted, these also accept regular + expressions which will be matched against an address, if the line + begins with a (caret) character. + + 3.7.1 Subscription rules + + This subcategory controls the rules for exposing the existance of this + list, and for what new members must do in order to subscribe to the + list. + + advertised + This option controls whether this list will show up in the list + overview for the site. Normally, an overview contains the name + and short description of every mailing list in the virtual + domain. By setting this variable to No, it will not show up in + this overview, nor will it show up in the administrative + overview. The only way then to find the list is to guess (or + know!) its name. + + subscribe_policy + This option controls the steps that a new member must take to + join the list. The available options may differ based on some + defaults that the site administrator chooses. They are: + + + None - No verification is done on the subscribing member. + This is also called open subscriptions and is generally + disabled by default. The site administrator must allow list + admins to choose this option; if not, this option will not be + presented to you. + + Confirm - An email confirmation step is required before the + address is added to the list. When a member requests + subscription, either via the web page or by sending a message + to yourlist-join@example.com, Mailman will send a + confirmation message to the requesting address. This + mail-back confirmation contains a unique identifier, which + the requester can present to Mailman in order to confirm + their subscription. This can be done either by replying to + the mail-back, or by visiting the url in the mail-back + message. The url points to a page that lets the user either + discard or confirm their request. + + Require approval - All subscription requests are held for + approval of the list moderator. No mail-back confirmation is + sent, but the list admins will recieve a message indicating + that approval is pending. + + Confirm and approve - Here, a mail-back notice must first be + confirmed by the requester. Once confirmed, the list + moderator must then approve the request. This is the most + secure method for users to subscribe since it both verifies + the requesting address, and forces the list moderators to + approve the request. + + unsubscribe_policy + Specifies whether the list moderator's approval is required for + unsubscription requests. No is highly recommended, since it is + exceedingly impolite to not allow people to leave a mailing + list whenever they want (i.e. opt-out). Yes is useful in some + specialized contexts; e.g. you may not want to allow employees + to unsubscribe from the company newsletter. + + ban_list + This contains a list of addresses (or regular expressiosn), one + per line, that are banned from ever subscribing to your mailing + list. If a match occurs during the subscription process, the + request will be automatically rejected, and the requester will + get a rejection notice. You can use this to permanently ban + troublesome posters to a members-only list. + + private_roster + This specifies who is allowed to view the roster of member + addresses. If you choose Anyone, then the list membership is + completely public. You can limit exposure of the roster to just + list members, or just to the list administrators. In the former + case, a user must enter a valid member's address and password + before they can view the roster. In the latter case, a list + administrator's password must be enter; if a matching admin + password is entered, address field is ignored. + + obscure_addresses + Controls whether some simple obfuscation of addresses is used + when member addresses are included on web pages. This should + reduce the opportunity for email address harvesting by + spammers, although it probably doesn't eliminate it. + + 3.7.2 Sender filters + + When a message is posted to the list, a series of moderation criteria + are applied to determine the disposition of the message. This section + contains the modeation controls for postings from both members and + non-members. + + default_member_moderation + Member postings are held for moderation if their moderation + flag is turned on. Note that only the list administrators can + change the value of a member's moderation flag. + + You can control whether new members get their moderation flag + turned on or off by default when they subscribe to the list. By + turning this flag off by default, postings by members will be + allowed without further intervention (barring other + restrictions such as size or implicit recipient lists - see + below). By turning the flag on, you can quarantine new member + postings to make sure that they meet your criteria for + netiquette, topicality, etc. Once you determine that the new + member understands the community's posting rules, you can turn + off their moderation flag and let their postings go through + unstopped. + + E-newsletter style lists can also be set up by using the + moderation flag. By setting the member_moderation_action to + Reject, and by turning off the moderation flag for just the few + approved senders, your list will operate in essentially a + one-way direction. Note that you'd also need to reject or + discard postings from non-members. + + member_moderation_action + This is the action to take for postings from a member who's + moderation flag is set. For typical discussion lists, you'll + likely set this to Hold so that the list moderator will get a + chance to manually approve, reject, or discard the message. For + e-newsletter and announcement lists, you might want to set this + to Reject or Discard. + + Note that when a moderated member posts to your list, and the + member_moderation_action is set to Hold, the message will + appear on the administrative requests page. When you dispose of + the message, you will be given an opportunity to clear the + moderation flag at the same time. If you're quarantining new + posts, this makes it very convenient to both approve a new + member's post and de-moderate them at the same time. + + member_moderation_notice + When a member's moderation flag is turned on and + member_moderation_action is Reject, this variable contains the + text sent in the rejection notice. + + The next batch of variables controls what happens when non-members + post messages to the list. Each of these accepts one email address per + line; regular expressions are allowed if the line starts with the + (caret) character. These address lists are always consulted in the + order in which they're presented on this page (i.e. accepts first, + followed by holds, rejections, and discards). + + accept_these_nonmembers + Postings from non-members whose addresses match this list are + accepted, barring other list restrictions due to size, implicit + recipients, etc. You might want to add alternative addresses of + approved posters to this list. + + hold_these_nonmembers + Postings from non-members whose addresses match this list are + held for moderator approval. + + reject_these_nonmembers + Postings from non-members whose addresses match this list are + rejected, i.e. bounced back to the original sender. There + currently is no way to add additional text to the rejection + message. + + discard_these_nonmembers + Postings from non-members whose addresses match this list are + discarded, with no bounce back message. You might want to add + the addresses of known spammers to this list. + + generic_nonmember_action + This variable controls what happens to non-member posts when + the address of the sender doesn't match any of the above four + lists. If you set this to Hold, the posting will appear on the + administrative requests page, and you will be given an + opportunity to add the non-member to one of the above four + lists at the same time you dispose of the held message. + + forward_auto_discards + When messages from non-members are discarded, either because + the sender address matched discard_these_nonmembers, or because + generic_nonmember_action is Discard, you can choose whether + such messages are forwarded to the lsit administrators or not. + + 3.7.3 Recipient Filters + + The variables in this section control various filters based on the + recipient of the message. + + require_explicit_destination + This controls whether the mailing list posting address must be + explicitly named in the To: or Cc: recipient lists. The main + reason why it wouldn't is if the message was + blind-carbon-copied (i.e. Bcc:'d) to the list. Spammers like to + do this, but sometimes legitimate messages are forwarded to the + list this way. + + If the list is not explicitly addressed and this setting is + turned on, the message will be held for moderator approval. + + acceptable_aliases + This is the list of alternative addresses that are acceptable + as a list posting address when require_explicit_destination is + enabled. This is useful for when there aliases for the main + posting address (e.g. help@example.com may be an alias for + help-list@example.com). + + max_num_recipients + This is the maximum number of explicit recipients that are + allowed on the posted message. Spammers sometimes send messages + with lots of explicit recipients, so setting this number to a + reasonable value may cut down on spam. + + 3.7.4 Spam Filters + + This section provides some adjuncts to spam fighting tools; it doesn't + replace dedicated anti-spam tools such as SpamAssassin or Spambayes. + + bounce_matching_headers + This variable contains header regular expressions, one per + line, and if any of a message's headers matches one of these + patterns, it will be held for moderation. The format is a colon + separated header and value, where the header is case + insensitive and the value is any valid Python regular + expression. Lines that start with # are ignored. + + This variable can be used to catch known spammers by writing + regexps that match against To: or Cc: lines, or known-bad + Message-ID:s. Perhaps more useful though are patterns that + match headers added by spam detection tools higher up in the + tool chain. For example, you might configure SpamAssassin to + add an X-Spam-Score: header with between zero and 5 stars + depending on the spam score. Then you can add a line to this + variable like: + + X-Spam-Score: [*]{3,5} + + This line will match from 3 to 5 stars in the value of this + field. + +3.8 The Bounce Processing Category + + These policies control the automatic bounce processing system in + Mailman. Here's an overview of how it works: + + 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 hard for fatal errors, or soft for + transient errors. When in doubt, a hard severity is used. + + If no member address can be extracted from the bounce, then the bounce + message is usually discarded. Every member has a bounce score, + 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. + + When a member's bounce score is greater than the bounce score + threshold (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. + + 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. + + bounce_processing + Specifies whether or not this list should do automatic bounce + processing. + + bounce_score_threshold + 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. + + bounce_info_stale_after + 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. + + bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings + 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. + + bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval + The number of days between each disabled notification. + + bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner + 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. + + bounce_notify_owner_on_disable + 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. + + bounce_notify_owner_on_removal + 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. + +3.9 The Archiving Options Category + + Mailman comes with a built-in web-based archiver called Pipermail, + although it can be configured to use external, third party archivers. + + archive + 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. + + Note that senders can control whether their own posts are + archived, on an individual per-message basis. If the posted + message has a X-No-Archive: header (regardless of value), or a + X-Archive: header with a value of No (case insensitive), then + the message will not be archived, although it will be treated + as normal in all other ways. + + archive_private + 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. + + archive_volume_frequency + Controls how Pipermail splits messages in the archive. The most + common option is Monthly meaning a new archive volume is + started every month. Very high volume lists may want a shorter + frequency (e.g. Weekly or Daily) where as lower volume lists + may want a longer frequency (e.g. Yearly). This option has no + effect when a third party archiver is used. + +3.10 The Mail/News Gateway Category + + Mailman has a sophisticated mail-to-news gateway feature. It can + independently gate messages from news to mail and vice versa, and can + even be used to manage moderated newsgroups. + +3.11 The Auto-responder Category + +3.12 The Content Filtering Category + +3.13 The Topics Category + + 4 Membership Management + + 5 Tending to Pending Moderator Requests + + 6 Editing the Public HTML Pages + + 7 Deleting the Mailing List + + 1 This is an Appendix + + To create an appendix in a Python HOWTO document, use markup like + this: + +\appendix + +\section{This is an Appendix} + +To create an appendix in a Python HOWTO document, .... + + +\section{This is another} + +Just add another \section{}, but don't say \appendix again. + + About this document ... + + GNU Mailman - List Administration Manual, October 2, 2004, Release 2.1 + + This document was generated using the LaTeX2HTML translator. + + LaTeX2HTML is Copyright © 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, Nikos Drakos, + Computer Based Learning Unit, University of Leeds, and Copyright © + 1997, 1998, Ross Moore, Mathematics Department, Macquarie University, + Sydney. + + The application of LaTeX2HTML to the Python documentation has been + heavily tailored by Fred L.

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.

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.

This file is part of the PSNFSS bundle, version 9 +% +% Authors: S. Rahtz, P. MacKay, Alan Jeffrey, B. Horn, K. Berry, W. Schmidt +% +% Idea is to have all the characters normally included in Type 1 fonts +% available for typesetting. This is effectively the characters in Adobe +% Standard Encoding + ISO Latin 1 + extra characters from Lucida + Euro. +% +% Character code assignments were made as follows: +% +% (1) the Windows ANSI characters are almost all in their Windows ANSI +% positions, because some Windows users cannot easily reencode the +% fonts, and it makes no difference on other systems. The only Windows +% ANSI characters not available are those that make no sense for +% typesetting -- rubout (127 decimal), nobreakspace (160), softhyphen +% (173). quotesingle and grave are moved just because it's such an +% irritation not having them in TeX positions. +% +% (2) Remaining characters are assigned arbitrarily to the lower part +% of the range, avoiding 0, 10 and 13 in case we meet dumb software. +% +% (3) Y&Y Lucida Bright includes some extra text characters; in the +% hopes that other PostScript fonts, perhaps created for public +% consumption, will include them, they are included starting at 0x12. +% +% (4) Remaining positions left undefined are for use in (hopefully) +% upward-compatible revisions, if someday more characters are generally +% available. +% +% (5) hyphen appears twice for compatibility with both ASCII and Windows. +% +% (6) /Euro is assigned to 128, as in Windows ANSI +% +/TeXBase1Encoding [ +% 0x00 (encoded characters from Adobe Standard not

It covers the use of + the web and email interfaces for subscribing and unsubscribing, + changing member options, getting password reminders and other + subscriber-level tasks. It also answers some common questions of + interest to Mailman list members. + + Information for list and site administrators is provided in other + documents. + + This document need not be read in order. If you are simply looking for + an answer to a specific question, jump to the appropriate place and + references to other sections will be provided if necessary or + potentially helpful. + + Note: For the purposes of this document, we assume that the reader is + familiar with common terms related to email (eg: Subject line, body of + the message) and web sites (eg: drop-down box, button) or can look + them up. We also assume that the reader can already use his or her + email program and web browser well enough that instructions such as + ``send email to this address'' or ``visit this web page'' or ``fill in + the form provided'' are clear. If you are not familiar with these + actions, you may want to consult other documentation to learn how to + do these things with your particular setup. + +1.1 Acknowledgements + + Sections of this document have been borrowed from the List + Administrator Manual found in Mailman CVS, which was written by Barry + A. Warsaw, and from the in-line help for Mailman 2.1. + + The rest of this manual has been written by Terri Oda. Terri has been + maintaining mailing lists since the year she attained voting age in + Canada, although the two are not related. She currently oversees the + mailing lists at Linuxchix.org, as well as several smaller servers. In + the world outside of list administration, Terri is doing work with an + artificial life spam detector, and is actually more of a programmer + than technical writer. + + Thanks to Margaret McCarthy, Jason Walton and Barry Warsaw for their + help in proofreading and otherwise improving this manual. + + Thanks also to Ikeda Soji, who made the Japanese translation of this + document, and Pablo Chamorro C., who made the Spanish translation. + +1.2 What is a mailing list? + + A mailing list is simply a list of addresses to which the same + information is being sent. If you were a magazine publisher, you would + have a list of the mailing addresses of all the subscribers to the + magazine. In the case of an electronic mailing list, we use a list of + email addresses from people interested in hearing about or discussing + a given topic. + + Two common types of email mailing lists are announcement lists and + discussion lists. + + Announcement lists are used so that one person or group can send + announcements to a group of people, much like a magazine publisher's + mailing list is used to send out magazines. For example, a band may + use an announcement mailing list to let their fan base know about + their upcoming concerts. + + A discussion list allows a group of people to discuss topics amongst + themselves, with everyone able to send mail to the list and have it + distributed to everyone in the group. This discussion may also be + moderated, so only selected posts are sent on to the group as a whole, + or only certain people are allowed to send to the group. For example, + a group of model plane enthusiasts might use a discussion mailing list + to share tips about model construction and flying. + + Some common terms: + * A ``post'' typically denotes a message sent to a mailing list. + (Think of posting a message on a bulletin board.) + * People who are part of an electronic mailing list are usually + called the list's ``members'' or ``subscribers.'' + * ``List administrators'' are the people in charge of maintaining + that one list. Lists may have one or more administrators. + * A list may also have people in charge of reading posts and + deciding if they should be sent on to all subscribers. These + people are called list moderators. + * Often more than one electronic mailing list will be run using the + same piece of software. The person who maintains the software + which runs the lists is called the ``site administrator.'' Often + the site administrator also administrates individual lists. + +1.3 GNU Mailman + + GNU Mailman is software that lets you manage electronic mailing lists. + It supports a wide range of mailing list types, such as general + discussion lists and announce-only lists. Mailman has extensive + features which make it good for list subscribers, such as easy + subscription and unsubscription, privacy options, and the ability to + temporarily stop getting posts from the list. The list member features + are covered in this document. + + Mailman also has many features which make it attractive to list and + site administrators. These features are covered in the list and site + administrator manuals. + + 2 Translating from our examples to real lists + + Often, it's easier to simply give an example than explain exactly how + to find the address for your specific list. As such, we'll frequently + give examples for a fictional list called LISTNAME@DOMAIN whose list + information page can be found at + http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME. + + Neither of these are real addresses, but they show the form of a + typical list address. The capital letters used for the list-specific + parts of each address should make it easier to see what should be + changed for each list. Although specific list configurations may be + different, you will probably be able to just replace the words given + in capital letters with the appropriate values for a real list: + + LISTNAME + The name of your list. + + DOMAIN + The name of the mail server which handles that list. + + WEBSERVER + The name of the web server which handles the list web + interface. This may be the same as DOMAIN, and often refers to + the same machine, but does not have to be identical. + + As a real-life example, if you are interested in the mailman-users + list, you'd make the following substitutions: LISTNAME=mailman-users, + DOMAIN=python.org, WEBSERVER=mail.python.org. As such, for the + mailman-users@python.org mailing list, the list information page can + be found at the URL + http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users. (These, unlike + most of the examples given in this document, are real addresses.) + + Most lists will have this information stored in the List-*: headers. + Many mail programs will hide these by default, so you may have to + choose to view full headers before you can see these informational + headers. + + 3 Mailman's interfaces + + Mailman has two different interfaces for the list subscriber: the web + interface and the email interface. Most discussion list subscribers + use the email interface, since this includes the email address you use + to send mail to all the subscribers of that list. + + The interface you use for changing options is largely a matter of + preference, since most (but not all) of the options which can be + changed from the web interface can also be changed by email. Usually + it is easier to use the web interface for changing options, since the + web interface provides instructions as you go, but there are times + when people may prefer the email interface, so both are provided. + + +3.1 The web interface + + The web interface of Mailman is its selling point for many people, + since it makes it much easier for subscribers and administrators to + see which options are available, and what these options do. + + Every mailing list is also accessible by a number of web pages. Note + that the exact URLs are configurable by the site administrator, so + they may be different than what's described below. We'll describe the + most common configuration, but check with your site administrator or + hosting service for details. + + List information (listinfo) page + + + Usually found at http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME + (for example, + http://lists.example.com/mailman/listinfo/mylist) + + The listinfo page is the starting point for the subscriber + interface. As one would assume from the name it's given, it + contains information about the LISTNAME list. Usually all the + other subscriber pages can be accessed from this point, so + you really only need to know this one address. + + Member options page + + + Usually found at + http://WEBSERVER/mailman/options/LISTNAME/EMAIL (For example, + http://lists.example.com/mailman/options/mylist/kathy@here.co + m) + + This page can also be accessed by going to the listinfo page + and entering your email address into the box beside the + button marked ``Unsubscribe or Edit Options'' (this is near + the bottom of the page). + + The member options page allows you to log in/out and change + your list settings, as well as unsubscribe or get a copy of + your password mailed to you. + + To log in to your member options page: If you are not already + logged in, there will be a box near the top for you to enter + your password. (If you do not know your password, see + Section 6.1 for more information on getting your password.) + Enter your password in the box and press the button. + + Once you are logged in, you will be able to view and change + all your list settings. + + List Archives + + + Usually found at http://WEBSERVER/pipermail/LISTNAME if the + list is publicly archived, and + http://WEBSERVER/mailman/private/LISTNAME if the list is + privately archived. (For example, + http://lists.example.com/pipermail/mylist or + http://lists.example.com/mailman/private/mylist) + + The list archive pages have copies of the posts sent to the + mailing list, usually grouped by month. In each monthly + group, the posts are usually indexed by author, date, thread, + and subject. + + Note: Pipermail is the name of the default archiver that + comes with Mailman. Other archive programs are available. + + If the archive is private, you will need to supply your + subscribed email address and your password to log in. (See + Section 6.1 for more information on getting your password.) + + +3.2 The email interface + + Every mailing list has a set of email addresses to which messages can + be sent. There's always one address for posting messages to the list, + one address to which bounces are sent, and addresses for processing + email commands. For a fictional mailing list called + mylist@example.com, you'd find these addresses: + + * mylist@example.com - this is the email address people should use + for new postings to the list. + * mylist-join@example.com - by sending a message to this address, a + new member can request subscription to the list. Both the Subject: + header and body of such a message are ignored. Note that + mylist-subscribe@example.com is an alias for the -join address. + * mylist-leave@example.com - by sending a message to this address, a + member can request unsubscription from the list. As with the -join + address, the Subject: header and body of the message is ignored. + Note that mylist-unsubscribe@example.com is an alias for the + -leave address. + * mylist-owner@example.com - This address reaches the list owner and + list moderators directly. This is the address you use if you need + to contact the person or people in charge. + * mylist-request@example.com - This address reaches a mail robot + which processes email commands that can be used to set member + subscription options, as well as process other commands. A list of + members' email commands is provided in Appendix A. + * mylist-bounces@example.com - This address is used in Mailman's + automatic bounce processing. + * mylist-confirm@example.com - This address is used for processing + confirmation messages for subscription and unsubscription + requests. + + There's also an -admin address which also reaches the list + administrators, but this address only exists for compatibility with + older versions of Mailman. + + For changing options, we use the LISTNAME-request address (for + example, mylist-request@example.com). + + Commands can appear in the subject line or the body of the message. + Each command should be on a separate line. If your mail program + automatically appends a signature to your messages, you may want to + put the word ``end'' (without the quotes) on a separate line after + your other commands. The end command tells Mailman not to process the + email after that point. + + The most important command is probably the ``help'' command, since it + makes Mailman return a message full of useful information about the + email commands and directions to the web interface. + + Quick references to the subscriber commands have been provided in + Appendices A and B. (These have been slightly adapted from the output + of the help command.) + + + 4 I need to talk to a human! + + If you have any trouble with any of these commands, you can always + reach the person or people in charge of a list by using the list + administrator email address. The list administrators can help you + figure out how to do something, subscribe/unsubscribe you, or change + your settings if you are unable to change them yourself for some + reason. Please remember that many mailing list administrators are + volunteers who are donating their spare time to run the list, and they + may be very busy people. + + This list administrator email address is in the form + LISTNAME-owner@DOMAIN, where LISTNAME is the name of the list (eg: + mailman-users) and DOMAIN is the name of the server (eg: python.org). + This email address, along with the email addresses of specific + administrators, is given on the bottom of the list information pages. + See Section 3.1 for more information on finding the list information + page for your list + + 5 Subscribing and unsubscribing + + Since subscribing (joining) and unsubscribing (leaving) lists are + often the only things a list member needs to know, these can both be + done without requiring you to know a password. + + +5.1 How do I join a list? (subscribe) + + There are two common ways you can subscribe to a Mailman mailing list. + + Using the web interface: + 1. Go to the list information page for the list you want to join. + (This will probably be something like + http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME) + 2. Look for the section marked ``Subscribing to LISTNAME'' and fill + in the boxes. You can fill in the following: + + You must enter your email address. + + You may choose to supply your real name. + + You may choose a password. If you do not choose one, Mailman + will generate one for you. + Warning: Do NOT use a valuable password, since this password + may occasionally be mailed to you in plain text. + + If the list supports more than one language, you may be able + to choose your preferred language. Note: This setting does + not affect posts to the list, only Mailman texts that come + from the list software, such as your member options page. + 3. Press the subscribe button. A new page should appear telling you + that your subscription request has been received. This page will + provide you with further instructions, such as the need to wait + for and reply to a confirmation messages, depending on the list's + subscription policies. + + Using the email interface: + 1. Open a mail program which sends mail from the address you want to + subscribe. + 2. Send a mail to the list subscription address, which will be in the + form LISTNAME-join@DOMAIN. The subject and body of the message + will be ignored, so it doesn't matter what you put there. + + After following one of these sets of instructions (you don't need to + do both!), there are a few possible outcomes depending upon the + settings for that list. + * You may receive an email message asking for confirmation that you + really want to be subscribed to the list. This is to prevent + anyone from subscribing you to lists without your permission. + Follow the instructions given in the message to confirm your wish + to be subscribed. + * A moderator may also need to confirm your subscription if you are + subscribing to a closed list. + * Or you may have to wait for a moderator and follow the + instructions in the confirmation mail. + + Once this is done, you will likely receive another message welcoming + you to the list. This message contains some useful information + including your list password and some quick links for changing your + options, so you may want to save it for later reference. + + Note: Subscribing can be done in other ways as well. See Appendix A + for more advanced email subscribing commands. + + +5.2 How do I leave a list? (unsubscribe) + + Don't want to be on a list any more? If you're just going on vacation + or are too busy to read mails and want to temporarily turn them off, + you may want to stop mail delivery rather than unsubscribing. This + means you keep your password and other settings so you can, for + example, still have access to private list archives. If this is what + you'd prefer, see Section 7.1 for instructions on disabling mail + delivery temporarily. + + If you actually want to leave the list, there are two common ways you + can unsubscribe from a Mailman mailing list. + + Using the web interface: + 1. Go to the list information page for the list you want to leave. + (This will probably be something like + http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME) + 2. Look for the section marked ``LISTNAME subscribers'' (usually + found near the bottom of the page). + 3. There should be a button marked ``Unsubscribe or Edit Options.'' + Enter your email address in the box beside this button and press + the button. + 4. You should be brought to a new page which has an ``Unsubscribe'' + button. Press it to unsubscribe and follow the instructions given. + + Using the email interface: + 1. Open a mail program which sends mail from the address you want to + unsubscribe. + 2. Send a mail to the list unsubscribe address, which will be of the + form LISTNAME-leave@DOMAIN. The subject and body of this message + will be ignored, so it doesn't matter what you put there. + + After following one of these sets of instructions (you don't need to + do both!), you will be sent a confirmation mail and must follow the + instructions given in that mail to complete the unsubscription. This + is to stop people from unsubscribing you without your permission. In + addition, a moderator may need to approve your unsubscription. + (Administrator-approved unsubscriptions are uncommon.) + + If you do not receive this confirmation mail with instructions, make + sure that you typed your email address correctly (if you were using + the web interface to unsubscribe) and that the address you tried to + unsubscribe is, indeed, actually subscribed to that list. For security + reasons, Mailman generates the same member options page regardless of + whether the address entered is subscribed or not. This means that + people cannot use this part of the web interface to find out if + someone is subscribed to the list, but it also means that it's hard to + tell if you just made a typo. + + Once your unsubscription has been processed, you will will probably + receive another message confirming your unsubscription from the list, + and at that point you should stop receiving messages. + + If you wish to skip the confirmation process (for example, you might + be unsubscribing an address which no longer works), it is possible to + bypass it by using your password instead and either logging in to your + options page using it (See Section 3.1), or sending it with your email + commands to LISTNAME-request (See Appendix A for advanced email + unsubscription commands). See Section 6.1 for more information on + getting your password. + + + 6 Passwords + + Your password was either set by you or generated by Mailman when you + subscribed. You probably got a copy of it in a welcome message sent + when you joined the list, and you may also receive a reminder of it + every month. It is used to verify your identity to Mailman so that + only the holder of the password (you!) and the administrators can view + and change your settings. + + Warning: Do NOT use a valuable password for Mailman, since it can be + sent in plain text to you. + + +6.1 How do I get my password? + + If you've forgotten your password and haven't saved the welcome + message or any reminder messages, you can always get a reminder + through the web interface: + + 1. Go to the list information page for the list from which you wish + to get your password (This will probably be something like + http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME) + 2. Look for the section marked ``LISTNAME subscribers'' (this section + is usually found near the bottom of the page). + 3. There should be a button marked ``Unsubscribe or Edit Options.'' + Enter your email address in the box beside this button and press + the button. + 4. You should be brought to a new page which has an ``Password + Reminder'' section. Press the ``Remind'' button to have your + password emailed to you. + + If you do not receive the password reminder email after doing this, + make sure that you typed your email address correctly and that the + address you used is, indeed, actually subscribed to that list. For + security reasons, Mailman generates the same member options page + regardless of whether the address entered is subscribed or not. This + means that people cannot use this part of the web interface to find + out if someone is subscribed to the list, but it also means that it's + hard to tell if you just made a typo. + + You can also get a reminder using the email interface, + 1. Send a mail to LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN with the command password + Commands can appear in either the body or the subject of the + message. (See Section 3.2 for more information about sending mail + commands.) + If you are not sending mail from your subscribed address, you can + also specify this address by sending the command password address= + $<$ ADDRESS $>$ . + +6.2 How do I change my password? + + Warning: Do NOT use a valuable password, since this password may be + mailed to you in plain text. + + From the web interface: + 1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1 for + instructions on how to do this.) + 2. Look for the password changing boxes on the right-hand side of the + page and enter your new password in the appropriate boxes, then + press the button marked ``Change My Password.'' + + This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you + are subscribed to more than one list on the same domain. See + Section 10.1 for information about changing settings globally. + + From the email interface: + 1. Send a mail to LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN with the command password + $<$ OLDPASSWORD $>$ $<$ NEWPASSWORD $>$ . + Commands can appear in either the body or the subject of the + message. (See Section 3.2 for more information about sending mail + commands.) + If you are not sending mail from your membership address, you can + also specify this address with address= $<$ ADDRESS $>$ after $<$ + NEWPASSWORD $>$ . + For example, if kathy@here.com wanted to change her mylist + password from zirc to miko, but she was sending mail from her work + address kathy@work.com, she could send a message to + mylist-request@example.com with the subject set to + password zirc miko address=kathy@here.com. + +6.3 How do I turn password reminders on or off? (reminders option) + + If you don't wish to the reminder email including your password every + month, you can disable it from the member options page. (You can + always get the password mailed out when you actually want it. See + Section 6.1 for instructions.) + + Using the web interface: + 1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1 for + instructions on how to do this.) + 2. Look for the section marked ``Get password reminder email for this + list?'' and change the value accordingly. + + This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you + are subscribed to more than one list on the same domain. See + Section 10.1 for information about changing settings globally. + + Using the email interface: + 1. Send a mail to LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN with the command + set reminders on or set reminders off. + Commands can appear in either the body or the subject of the + message. (See Section 3.2 for more information about sending mail + commands.) + 2. Set it to ``on'' to receive reminders, and ``off'' to stop + receiving reminders. + + 7 Changing mail delivery + + +7.1 How do I turn mail delivery on or off? (delivery option) + + You may wish to temporarily stop getting messages from the list + without having to unsubscribe. If you disable mail delivery, you will + no longer receive messages, but will still be a subscriber and will + retain your password and other settings. + + This can be handy in a many different cases. For example, you could be + going on vacation or need a break from the list because you're too + busy to read any extra mail. Many mailing lists also allow only + subscribers to post to the list, so if you commonly send mail from + more than one address (eg, one address for at home and another for + when you're travelling), you may want to have more than one subscribed + account, but have only one of them actually receive mail. You can also + use this as a way to read private archives even on a list which may be + too busy for you to have sent directly to your mailbox. All you need + to do is subscribe, disable mail delivery, and use your password and + email to log in to the archives. + + To disable/enable mail delivery using the web interface: + 1. Log in to your options page. (See Section 3.1 for instructions.) + 2. Go down to the section marked ``Mail delivery'' and select + ``Disabled'' to stop receiving mail, and ``Enabled'' to start + receiving mail. + + This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you + are subscribed to more than one list on the same domain. See + Section 10.1 for information about changing settings globally. + + To disable/enable mail delivery using the email interface: + 1. Send a mail to LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN with the command + set delivery off or set delivery on. + Commands can appear in either the body or the subject of the + message. (See Section 3.2 for more information about sending mail + commands.) + 2. Set it to ``off'' to stop receiving posts, and ``on'' to start + receiving them again. + + +7.2 How can I avoid getting duplicate messages? (duplicates option) + + Mailman can't completely stop you from getting duplicate messages, but + it can help. One common reason people get multiple copies of a mail is + that the sender has used a ``group reply'' function to send mail to + both the list and some number of individuals. If you want to avoid + getting these messages, Mailman can be set to check and see if you are + in the To: or CC: lines of the message. If your address appears there, + then Mailman can be told not to deliver another copy to you. This + means you get only the copy sent by the original sender, and not a + copy which been altered by Mailman (to include headers and footers, + strip attachments, etc.). + + To turn this on or off using the web interface: + 1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1 for more + details on how to do this.) + 2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to the section marked + ``Avoid duplicate copies of messages?'' and change the value + accordingly. + + This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you + are subscribed to more than one list on the same domain. See + Section 10.1 for information about changing settings globally. + + To turn this on or off using the email interface: + 1. Send a mail to LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN with the command + set duplicates on or set duplicates off. + Commands can appear in either the body or the subject of the + message. (See Section 3.2 for more information about sending mail + commands.) + 2. Set it to ``on'' to receive list copies of messages already sent + to you, set it to ``off'' to avoid receiving these duplicates. + + +7.3 How do I change my subscription address? + + To change your subscription address, + 1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1 for more + details on how to do this.) + 2. In the section marked ``Changing your LISTNAME membership + information,'' enter your new address. + 3. If you wish to change your address for all subscriptions using the + old address, select the ``Change globally'' box. If you have + subscriptions under another address or for lists on a different + domain, these will have to be done separately. See Section 10.1 + for more information about changing settings globally. + + A confirmation message will be sent to your new address, and the + change will not happen until you confirm the change by following the + instructions in that message. + + There is no special way to do this from the email interface, but you + can subscribe and unsubscribe for more or less the same effect. (See + Sections 5.1 and 5.2 for more information on subscribing and + unsubscribing.) + + +7.4 How do I stop or start getting copies of my own posts? (myposts option) + + By default in Mailman, you get a copy of every post you send to the + list. Some people like this since it lets them know when the post has + gone through and means they have a copy of their own words with the + rest of a discussion, but others don't want to bother downloading + copies of their own posts. + + Note: This option has no effect if you are receiving digests. + + You may also want to see Section 7.5, which discusses acknowledgement + emails for posts sent to the list. + + To set this using the web interface: + 1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1 for more + details on how to do this.) + 2. Look for the section marked ``Receive your own posts to the + list?'' Set it to ``Yes'' to receive copies of your own posts, and + ``No'' to avoid receiving them. + + To set this using the email interface: + 1. Send a mail to LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN with the command + set myposts on or set myposts off. + Commands can appear in either the body or the subject of the + message. (See Section 3.2 for more information about sending mail + commands.) + 2. Set it to ``on'' to receive copies of your own posts, and ``off'' + to avoid receiving them. + + +7.5 How can I get Mailman to tell me when my post has been received by the +list? (ack option) + + On most lists, you will simply receive a copy of your mail when it has + gone through the list software, but if this is disabled (See + Section 7.4), your list mail delivery is disabled (See Section 7.1), + you are not subscribed to that topic (See Section 9.2) or you simply + want an extra acknowledgement from the system, this option may be + useful to you. + + Note: If you are not subscribed to the list, this option cannot be + used. You must either check the archives yourself (if the list has + public archives), ask someone who is subscribed to the list, or + subscribe to use this option. + + To set this using the web interface: + 1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1 for more + details on how to do this.) + 2. Look for the section marked ``Receive acknowledgement mail when + you send mail to the list?'' Set it to ``Yes'' to receive a mail + letting you know your post has been received, and ``No'' to avoid + receiving such an acknowledgement. + + To set this using the email interface: + 1. Send a mail to LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN with the command set ack on + or set ack off. + Commands can appear in either the body or the subject of the + message. (See Section 3.2 for more information about sending mail + commands.) + 2. Set it to ``on'' if you wish to receive mail letting you know your + post has been received, and ``off'' to avoid receiving such an + acknowledgement. + +7.6 I don't seem to be getting mail from the lists. What should I do? + + There are a few common reasons for this: + * No one has sent any mail to the list(s) you're on for a little + while. + To check if this is the case, try visiting the archives of the + list (assuming that the list has archives). If the list has no + archives, you may have to ask another subscriber. (See Section 3.1 + for help in finding the list archives.) + Note: Generally, it is considered impolite to send test messages + to the entire list. If you feel a need to test that the list is + working and for some reason you cannot simply compose a regular + message to the list, it is less disruptive to send a help message + to the list request address (LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN) to see if + that works, or to contact the list administrator + (LISTNAME-owner@DOMAIN) to ask if the list is working. + * You were bouncing mail and have had mail delivery (temporarily) + disabled by the list software. + If your mail provider ``bounces'' too many messages (that is, it + tells Mailman that the message could not be delivered) Mailman + eventually stops trying to send you mail. This feature allows + Mailman to gracefully handle addresses which no longer exist (for + example, the subscriber has found a new Internet service provider + and forgot to unsubscribe the old address), as well as addresses + which are temporarily out-of-service (for example, the subscriber + has used up all of the allotted space for his or her email + account, or the subscriber's mail provider is experiencing + difficulties). + Even if you are unaware of any difficulties with your mail + provider, it is a good idea to check this. Some popular webmail + providers and internet servers are not as reliable as one might + assume, nor is the internet as a whole. You may want to also send + yourself a test message from another account or ask a friend to + send you a test message to make sure your subscribed address is + working. + To check if this may be the reason you are not receiving messages, + log in to the your options page (See Section 3.1 for more details + on how to do this) and look at your options. If your subscription + has been disabled or Mailman has received bounces from your email + address, there will be a big banner at the top of this page. + To re-enable mail delivery, look for an option marked ``Mail + Delivery'' and set it to ``Enabled'' to start receiving mail + again. To get rid of your bounce score, you can disable and then + re-enable delivery. For more instructions on disabling or enabling + mail delivery, see Section 7.1. + Note: Even if you have not been disabled at the time you check, + you could be bouncing messages and not have reached the threshold + for your subscription to be disabled. You may need to check again. + * There is a delay or break in the networks between you and the list + server. + No matter what many of us would like, the internet is not 100% + reliable, nor is it always fast. Sometimes, messages simply take a + long time to get to you. Try to be patient, especially if the + server is far (in terms of networks, not geography, although often + one implies the other) from your internet service provider. + To check if this might be causing your problem, you can try + pinging the list server or tracing the route between you and it. + (Instructions on how to do this varies from platform to platform, + so you may want to use a search engine to find those appropriate + for you.) + * The mail server or Mailman might not be functioning properly. This + can happen if the system is overloaded with viruses or spam and + the mail system that hosts Mailman has trouble keeping up. + To test if this is a case, try visiting the list's web interface + and try sending a message to LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN with the + command ``help'' (without the quotes) in the Subject:. If neither + of these works after a reasonable length of time, this may be the + problem. You may wish to contact either the list or site + administrator(s). + + 8 Digests + + +8.1 How can I start or stop getting the list posts grouped into one big email? +(digest option) + + Groups of posts are called ``digests'' in Mailman. Rather than get + messages one at a time, you can get messages grouped together. On a + moderately busy list, this typically means you get one email per day, + although it may be more or less frequent depending upon the list. + + You may also want to look at Section 8.2 which discusses MIME and + plain text digests. + + To turn digest mode on or off using the web interface, + 1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1 for more + details on how to do this.) + 2. Look for the section marked ``Set Digest Mode.'' + Set it to ``On'' to receive messages bundled together in digests. + Set it to ``Off'' to receive posts separately. + + To turn digest mode on or off using the email interface, + 1. Send a mail to LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN with the command + set digest plain or set digest mime or set digest off. + Commands can appear in either the body or the subject of the + message. (See Section 3.2 for more information about sending mail + commands.) + 2. Set it to ``off'' if you wish to receive individual posts + separately, and to ``plain'' or ``mime'' to receive posts grouped + into one large mail. See Section 8.2 for more information on plain + versus MIME digests. + + +8.2 What are MIME and Plain Text Digests? How do I change which one I get? +(digest option) + + MIME is short for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions. It is used to + send things by email which are not necessarily simple plain text. (For + example, MIME would be used if you were sending a picture of your dog + to a friend.) + + A MIME digest has each message as an attachment inside the message, + along with a summary table of contents. + + A plain text digest is a simpler form of digest, which should be + readable even in mail readers which don't support MIME. The messages + are simply put one after the other into one large text message. + + Most modern mail programs do support MIME, so you only need to choose + plain text digests if you are having trouble reading the MIME ones. + + Note: This option has no effect if you are not receiving mail bunched + as digests. (See Section 8.1 for more information on receiving mail as + digests.) + + To set your digest type using the web interface: + 1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1 for more + details on how to do this.) + 2. Look for the section marked ``Get MIME or Plain Text Digests?.'' + Set it to ``MIME'' to receive digests in MIME format, or ``Plain + text'' to receive digests in plain text format. + + This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you + are subscribed to more than one list on the same domain. See + Section 10.1 for information about changing settings globally. + + To set your digest type using the email interface, + 1. Send a mail to LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN with the command + set digest plain or set digest mime. + Commands can appear in either the body or the subject of the + message. (See Section 3.2 for more information about sending mail + commands.) + 2. Set it to ``plain'' to get posts bundled into a plain text digest, + or ``mime'' to get posts bundled together into a MIME digest. + + + 9 Mailing list topics + + Some lists are set up so that different topics are handled by Mailman. + For example, the courses list on Linuxchix.org is a discussion list + for courses being run by linuxchix members, and often there are + several courses being run at the same time. (eg: Networking for + beginners, C programming, LATEX document mark up.) Each of the courses + being run is associated with a separate topic on the list so that + people can choose only to receive the course they want to take. + + These topics must be configured by the list administrator, but it is + the responsibility of each poster to make sure that their post is put + with the correct topic. Usually, this means adding a word or tag of + some type to the subject line (eg: [Networking] What type of cables do + I need?) or making sure the Keywords: line has the right information. + (By default, you can put a Keywords: section in the beginning of the + body of your message, but this can be configured by your list + administrator.) Note that these tags are case-insensitive. + + +9.1 How do I make sure that my post has the right topic? + + When a list administrator defines a topic, he or she sets three + things: + * a topic name + * a regular expression (regexp.) + * a description + + You can view this information by logging in to your member options + page. (See Section 3.1 for more details on how to do this.) and + clicking on the ``details'' link for any topic that interests you. + + To post on a given topic, you need to make sure that the Keywords: or + Subject: headers in a message match the regular expression for that + topic. A regular expression is a pattern which may match more than one + thing. Regular expressions can actually be fairly complex, so you may + want to just ask the list administrator if you don't know how to make + heads or tails of the expression given. + + If you really want to know more about regular expressions, read on, + but for the most part, your list administrator should include in the + topic description what you need to add to your Keywords or Subject + line to match the topic pattern. + + Most Mailman topic expressions will be fairly simple regular + expressions, so in this document we will simply give you some common + examples. Regular expressions are a bit too complex to teach in a few + lines here, so if you really want to understand how the regular + expressions work, you should find a tutorial or reference elsewhere. + (For example, DevShed has a decent tutorial at + http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/Administration/RegExp/) + + Here are some examples of possible regular expressions and matching + lines: + + Regular expression Matching lines + zuff Keywords: zuff + zuff Keywords: ZUFF + zuff Keywords: Zuff + zuff Keywords: amaryllis, zuff, applesauce + zuff Subject: [zuff] Do you have the right stuff for zuff? + zuff Subject: Do you have the right stuff for zuff? + zuff Subject: What is zuff? + \[zuff\] Keywords: [zuff] + \[zuff\] Subject: [zuff] Do you have the right stuff? + \[zuff\] Subject: Online zuff tutorials (was Re: [zuff] What is zuff?) + + A few notes: + * The matching is case-insensitive, so if zuff matches, so will + ZUFF, zuFF, and any other variations in capitalization. + * Some characters have special meaning in a regular expression, so + to match those characters specifically, they must be ``escaped'' + with a backslash (\). As you can see in the above example, [ and ] + are such characters. (Others include ``.'', ``?'', and ``*''). The + backslash is also used for other things (I wasn't kidding about + regular expressions being complex: consult other documentation for + details about other uses of the backslash character), but this is + the most likely use in a topic expression. + + +9.2 How do I subscribe to all or only some topics on a list? + + If topics have been set up by your mailing list administrator, you can + choose to subscribe to only part of a list by selecting the topics you + want to receive. + + If you wish to get all messages sent to the list, make sure you are + not subscribed to any topics. + + 1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1 for more + details on how to do this.) + 2. Look for the section marked ``Which topic categories would you + like to subscribe to?'' + If any topics are defined, you can select those you wish. If you + do not select any topics of interest, you will receive all posts + sent to the list. + + You probably also want to look at Section 9.3 which discusses changing + your settings for messages where no topic is set. + + +9.3 How do I get or avoid getting messages with no topic set? + + Some messages will not match any predefined topic pattern. You can + choose to receive or ignore such non-matching messages. If you wish to + get all messages sent to the list, make sure you are not subscribed to + any specific topic. (See Section 9.2.) + + If you are only subscribed to some topics, you can either choose to + either receive or not receive messages with no topic set, much the way + you can choose to subscribe only to certain topics. + + To change this setting, + 1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1 for more + details on how to do this.) + 2. Look for the section marked ``Do you want to receive message that + do not match any topic filter?'' + If you wish to receive messages with no topic set, select ``Yes.'' + If you do not wish to receive such messages, choose ``No.'' + + This setting has no effect if you are not subscribed to any topics. + + 10 Setting other options + + +10.1 Change Globally? Set Globally? What does that mean? + + For some of the options given in your member options page, there is a + checkbox which says ``Change Globally'' or ``Set Globally.'' This + means that if you change this option, you can also have the change + made for all your other subscriptions on the same domain. This can be + handy if, for example, you want to make sure all your passwords are + the same, or you are going on vacation and want to turn off mail + delivery from all the lists. + + +10.2 How do I change my name as Mailman knows it? + + To change your subscription name, + 1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1 for more + details on how to do this.) + 2. In the section marked ``Changing your LISTNAME membership + information,'' enter your new name in the appropriate box. + + This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you + are subscribed to more than one list on the same domain. See + Section 10.1 for information about changing settings globally. + + Note: You do not need to have a subscription name set. + +10.3 How do I set my preferred language? + + Mailman is multi-lingual, meaning its interface has been translated to + many different languages. Your list administrator can enable various + languages for their use when interacting with Mailman. (For a complete + listing of the languages see http://www.list.org/i18n.html.) If your + list has other languages enabled, you may be able to have the web + interface, etc. in a language of your choice. + + Note: This does NOT necessarily mean that all the posts sent to the + list will be in the language you selected. Only the pre-prepared texts + presented by Mailman will be affected by this setting. Posts are in + whatever language the poster uses. + + Your preferred language is set when you subscribe (see Section5.1), + and can be changed later if the list supports more than one language. + + To change your preferred language in Mailman, + 1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1 for + instructions on how to do this.) + 2. Go to the section marked ``What language do you prefer?'' and + choose the appropriate language from the drop-down list. If there + is no drop-down list of languages, the list you are on probably + only supports one language. + + If your list does not support the language you would prefer to use, + you may contact the list administrator (LISTNAME-owner@DOMAIN) to see + if it can be added, but remember that this may mean some work that the + list and/or site administrator(s) do not have time or the ability to + do. + + If your language of choice is not available because no translation + exists for Mailman, please consider volunteering your time as a + translator. For more information you may want to consult the + mailman-i18n mailing list at + http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-i18n. The current + status of internationalization efforts is available at + http://www.list.org/i18n.html. + + Note: i18n is a common short-hand for ``internationalization'' because + the word starts with an i, ends with an n, and has 18 letters in + between. If you mumble a bit, i18n even sounds a bit like + ``internationalization.'' + + +10.4 How do I avoid having my name appear on the subscribers list? (the hide +option) + + If you do not want to have your email address show up on the + subscriber list for any reason, you can opt to have it concealed. + + Common reasons for doing this include avoiding unsolicited bulk email + (spam). By default, the subscribers list is obscured to hinder spam + harvesters, but if you feel this is insufficient it's easy enough to + remove your address from the subscriber list given in the information + pages or by email request. (Note that this does not conceal your + address from the list administrators.) You may wish to see + Section 11.2 for more information on what Mailman can do to help avoid + spam. + + To change this setting using the web interface: + 1. Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1 for + instructions on how to do this.) + 2. Go to the section marked ``Conceal yourself from subscriber + list?'' and choose ``Yes'' to hide your name from the list, or + ``No'' to allow your name to appear on the list. + + To change this setting using the email interface: + 1. Send a mail to LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN with the command + set hide on or set hide off. + Commands can appear in either the body or the subject of the + message. (See Section 3.2 for more information about sending mail + commands.) + 2. Set it to ``on'' to conceal your email address from the membership + list, or ``off'' to stop concealing your address. + + 11 Other common questions + +11.1 How do I view the list archives? + + If the list is being archived, previously posted messages can be + viewed by going to the archive's web pages, a link to which can be + found on the list information page and in the List-Archive: header of + every posted message (unless your list administrator has disabled such + headers). Many mail programs hide the List-Archive: mail header, so + you may have to tell your mail program to allow you to view full + headers before you will be able to see it. + + Public archives usually have addresses of the form + http://WEBSERVER/pipermail/LISTNAME/ and private archives usually have + addresses of the form http://WEBSERVER/mailman/private/LISTNAME. + + See Section 3.1 for more information on finding the addresses of a + list. + + +11.2 What does Mailman do to help protect me from unsolicited bulk email +(spam)? + + A technical list's archives may include answers to a range of + different questions. Often, the people who have posted these answers + would be happy to help someone who doesn't quite understand the + answer, and don't mind giving their address out for that purpose. But + although it would be wonderful if everyone could contact each other + easily, we also want to make sure that the list and list archives are + not abused by people who send spam. + + To make a range of options available to list administrators, Mailman + allows a variety of configurations to help protect email addresses. + Many of these settings are optional to the list administrator, so your + particular list may be set up in different ways. List administrators + must walk a fine line between protecting subscribers and making it + difficult for people to get in touch. + + * Subscriber lists + + The list administrator can choose to have the subscriber list + public, viewable only to list members, or viewable only to + list administrators. + + The subscriber list is shown with the addresses obscured to + make it difficult for spam harvesters to collect your + address. + + You can choose to have your address hidden from the + subscriber list. (See Section 10.4 for more information.) + + Note: The entire subscriber list is always available to the + list administrators. + * List archives + + The list administrator can choose for the archives to be + public, viewable only to members (private), or completely + unavailable. + + The HTML archives which are created by Pipermail (the + archiving program which comes default with Mailman) contain + only obscured addresses. Other archiving programs are + available and can do different levels of obfuscation to make + addresses less readable. + + If you wish to be more sure, you can set the mail header + ``X-No-archive: yes'' and Mailman will not archive your + posts. Similarly, you can set the mail header ``X-Archive: + no'' to disable archiving. + Warning: This does not stop other members from quoting your + posts, possibly even including your email address. + * Limited posting to the lists + + The list administrator can choose who can post to the list. + Most lists are either moderated (a moderator or administrator + reviews each posting), set so only subscribers may post to + the list, or allow anyone to post to the list. + + By allowing only subscribers to post to a list, Mailman often + blocks all spam and some viruses from being sent through the + list. As such, this is a fairly common setting used by list + administrators. + * Anonymous lists + + Lists can also be made fully anonymous: all identifying + information about the sender is stripped from the header + before the message is sent on. + + This is not typically used for anti-spam measures (it has + other uses), but it could be used in that way if desired. + + Of course, many address-obscuring methods can be circumvented by + determined people, so be aware that the protections used may not be + enough. + + + 1 Email commands quick reference + + * confirm $<$ CONFIRMATION-STRING $>$ + + Confirm an action. The confirmation-string is required and + should be supplied within a mailback confirmation notice. + * end + + Stop processing commands.

Use `set digest + plain' if instead you want to receive postings bundled into a + plain text digest (i.e. RFC 1153 digest). Use `set digest + mime' if instead you want to receive postings bundled + together into a MIME digest. + * set delivery on + set delivery off + + Turn delivery on or off. This does not unsubscribe you, but + instead tells Mailman not to deliver messages to you for now. + This is useful if you're going on vacation. Be sure to use + `set delivery on' when you return from vacation! + * set myposts on + set myposts off + + Use `set myposts off' to avoid receiving copies of messages + you post to the list.
