Description Vaclav Slavik 2004-04-06 14:51:08 UTC
From its homepage:
"mladmin main purpose in the life is to automatically discard the messages held for administrative approval by Mailman mailing list manager. If you use Mailman (for example because your mailing lists are hosted by SourceForge) you probably get as much spam as I do, that is anything between 1 and 10 messages daily. I got tired of having to click on half a dozen checkboxes in my browser to delete them manually and so wrote this tiny script to do it automatically. It is especially useful for the announcement lists where normally no messages are posted at all so there is no danger of discarding a legitimate message."

Attached is ebuild for this script.

Updated ebuild: new version, new homepage & SRC_URI, installs as /usr/bin/mladmin rather than /usr/bin/mladmin.pl.

Why not set the max_days_to_hold option instead?

Because it's nowhere near being the same thing, this tool is useful if you *don't* want to delete legitimate mails. This is immediately obvious from reading the page at the URL provided above, really.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into the overlay.
So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your
ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.

This does not seem to exist any more and likely is for mailman2.
