Mailman/Exim/MailScanner


I have installed 2.1 on a system with Exim and Mailscanner.

The email is getting to /mailscanner/qfiles/in/ but not being delivered
on to the list members.

It all depends on the system setup.  With a good portion of RAM, a clear
connection, and quick access to a DNS server, it should be fairly smooth.

A local DNS server will speed things up.

This process is handled by the MTA.  mailman hands off the mail to sendmail
and then sendmail processes the queue, usually host at a time.  Which means
if one host isnt' resolving, the rest of the queue will have to wait til
that host timesout.

Did you run the $prefix/bin/fix_url.py script?

This isn't a mailman question, but rather a MTA configuration question.

What's the result of (from lists.mlsnet.com):

 % dig mlsnet.com mx
 % cat /etc/resolv.conf

Can you send normal mail from that machine to users at mlsnet.com? In
other words, does something like this:

 % echo 'blah' | mail -s "test" luser <at> mlsnet.com

(where luser <at> mlsnet.com is a valid address at this domain) work?

What is in your logs?

Can you reach port 25 on mail.majorleaguesoccer.com from the lists
machine?

Does this work?

 % telnet mail.majorleaguesoccer.com smtp

Sounds like a networking (or maybe DNS resolution) problem.

Often useful are the tools at <http://www.dnsreport.com/>.  For one
thing, investigating from outside the local environs will sometimes
reveal stuff different than what is seen from within strangely
configured surroundings.

Subject disappeared

Hi:

I've been successfully using Mailman for E-Tailer's Digest which is a 
moderated discussion list digest.  Today the digest went out without a 
subject, even though there was one there when sent to the list.  Nothing 
has changed in the admin section.

Where do I look?

TIA

George

Content Filter Puzzle

Dear Mailfolk, we're running a text-only list using Mm 2.1.1 on Red Hat Linux.

I have the content filter set up to reject all of the following:
content-type: .*octet
content-type: .*oda
content-type: .*audio
content-type: .*image
content-type: .*alternative
content-type: .*digest
content-type: .*mixed
content-type: .*related
content-type: .*rich
content-type: .*html
content-type: .*video

The pass mime types is set up for text/plain, and the action is "reject."

My problem: Mm seems to be sending out two different messages to the sender 
when an incoming message gets filtered.  Sometimes -- and I can't figure 
out when -- it's sending out: "The message's content type was not 
explicitly allowed"

And other times, it's sending out:
"Your mail to 'Odnet-test2' with the subject
     test
Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.
The reason it is being held:
     Message has a suspicious header"

The content/type of the incoming message in both cases is text/html, so I
