It all depends on how you installed Mailman 3. If you follow the doc at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html, the django management command will be `mailman-web`, but installation in other ways can result in its being `manage.py` or `django-admin` or almost anything. For example, https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/pre-installation-guide.html#what-do-i-n… refers to a typical Django project in which the management command is `manage.py`. https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html is inconsistent in itself in that it uses `mailman-web` in most places except the note about qcluster at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html#running-the-task-queue which also links to http://hyperkitty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#asynchronous-tasks which uses `django-admin`. I'm thinking that we should put a note about this near the top of https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/ and let it go at that. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

It lets them go through, even as hold for moderation has been chosen. First, you can't filter on Bcc because Bcc is removed from the message before being sent. That's the whole point of Bcc. In otherwords, if I mail To: the list with Bcc: to others, the list never sees that Bcc: header and can't filter on it. As far as Cc is concerned, if in Header filters you have a rule with 'cc' in the header box and '.*' in the pattern box, the action box action should be applied to any message with a Cc: header. > I've asked EMWD to advise me because I think Affinity is very new, even though Brian Carpenter was developing it in 2020, is that correct? Affinity is not new, but it is a proprietary product of EMWD. If you have set the header filter as above and it is not working, only EMWD can help with that. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

You cannot add a non-member with a regexp email, but the legacy *_these_nonmembers list attributes still exist in Mailman core and accept regexps. These settings are exposed in Postorius 1.3.3+ under Settings -> Message Acceptance. With older Postorius, you ned to set these directly in core, e.g. with `mailman shell` as in $ bin/mailman shell -l list.example.com Welcome to the GNU Mailman shell Use commit() to commit changes. Use abort() to discard changes since the last commit. Exit with ctrl+D does an implicit commit() but exit() does not. The variable 'm' is the list.example.com mailing list >>> m.accept_these_nonmembers [] >>> m.accept_these_nonmembers = ['^.*[.(a)]good\.domain$'] >>> m.accept_these_nonmembers ['^.*[.(a)]good\\.domain$'] >>> -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

We have moderators who just can't get it through their heads to limit the size of attachments. One list today distributed a 6 mb pdf to over 700 recipients. I have found information on creating a custom handler and some old and brief logic on limiting max_message_size from Mr. Sapiro. > > Would anyone who has developed a custom handler to reject messages based on total size, mind sharing the full file? If so, could you also state where the handler was positioned in the chain of handlers. Is this a Mailman 3 question or a Mailman 2.1 question? If Mailman 3, the architecture is quite different. This would be done with a rule, not a handler, but based on details in your question, I think you are asking about Mailman 2.1. In that case, the appropriate list is really mailman-users(a)python.org <https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users>, but since you're here, the basic info on custom handlers for MM 2.1 is at <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030615>. There is an example called MyHandler.py linked from that page. It won't do what you want but can be used as a starting point. Also, look at Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py, in particular the code following the "# Is the message too big?" for how to determine the message size. That handler will compare the size to the list's max_message_size and hold the post if it's too big. You probably want to compare the size to a fixed value or a size defined in mm_cfg.py and either reject or discard the message. If you put your handler between Moderate and Hold, it's probably safe to reject the message because it is from a member or an address in accept_these_nonmembers. Rejecting post from arbitrary non-members is a bad idea because of spam backscatter. If you need more help, please join mailman-users(a)python.org and post to that list. In any case, this could be generally useful enough that I will probably add it to the stuff at <https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/>. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
