Bigg-Birdd-VA Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 In the manual for Mailman there is a function to restrict posting to list members. I have looked at every page in the admin interface and can't find it. Where the heck is it? "Restrict posting privilege to list members? (member_posting_only) Under nearly all circumstances this should be set to "yes." This restriction will cause Mailman to hold for administrative review all posts to the list that do not originate from a list member. Setting this to yes prevents you from being spammed by people who manage to get a hold of your list address." Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Welcome to the forums Bigg-Birdd-VA I have only tested mailman before and after looking through the settings I am coming up with nothing either. Hopefully one of our members that uses mailman frequently can answer your question. Quote

TweezerMan Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Welcome to the forums, Bigg-Birdd-VA! The documentation that you're looking at appears to be from an older version of Mailman. It looks to me like the option you're looking for is 'generic_nonmember_action', on the "Privacy Options" / "Sender filters" page: generic_nonmember_action (privacy): Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined. When a post from a non-member is received, the message's sender is matched against the list of explicitly accepted, held, rejected (bounced), and discarded addresses. If no match is found, then this action is taken. Actions available are Accept, Hold, Reject (bounce), and Discard. If you choose Discard, you may want to set the following option "forward_auto_discards" to "No". Hope this helps... Quote
