Re: Use of maxlength on non moderated lists

This is fundamentally the same as the message posted in Sep 2000.
Please excuse the cut&paste in lieu of making you go look for it.
The approval piece is identical, whether it needs approved due to
attachment, administrivia, or just a plain moderated list. I have
also replaced live domain names with sample.org and example.com.

============================================


First I had to modify my majordomo.cf $global_taboo_headers to allow the attachment.
Second, I had to set my mail user agent (Netscape Communicator) to NOT wrap messages at 72 characters.
Third, I set my mail reader to view all headers.
Forth, I attached an 8K zip file to a message to my test list.  Even though I had made changes to my majordomo.cf, the message still bounced to the owner-listname address/alias.
The message enclosed in @@@@@@@@@@ was the original bounce, and the message enclosed in &&&&&&&&&&&& is what I forwarded back into the test address.

This is only a test to see if I can attach a file (smaller than 40k).

Notice, when forwarding the message with the attachment back into the list address, I
made the "Approved: listname.password" the first line, purged all Received: lines, removed
the blank line between boundry= and "This is a multi-", and I removed the old Approved:
line deeper down in the message so that the first line following the first blank space
was actually message content.
