Likewise, the "From" address of the password reminder can be incorrect. Details: The cron script "mailpasswds" contains the following code: siteowner = Utils.get_site_email(host, 'owner') sitereq = Utils.get_site_email(host, 'request') sitebounce = Utils.get_site_email (host, 'bounces') The problem is, this code is oblivious to the user's actual subscriptions. On a CPanel server, for example, it always defaults to mailman-owner@host, etc. This results in confusion among users. Since the "From" address of the reminder is mailman- owner@host and that address is also referenced in the mail, users send their questions to that address -- which may go to the server administrator, or to nobody at all, instead of the appropriate list owner. On my setup (a CPanel system) the following replacement code appears to correct most of the problem (in combination with an "import string" statement near the top of the script): siteowner = string.replace ( listaddr, '@', '- owner@' ) sitereq = string.replace ( listaddr, '@', '- request@' ) sitebounce = string.replace ( listaddr, '@', '- bounces@' ) I have not tested it thoroughly, but I think it corrects the siteowner and sitereq values. (For some reason the corrected sitebounce address does not have any effect. The reminder messages still have a return-path of mailman-bounces@servername instead of the appropriate listname-bounces@host. But, I don't think this matters as much as making sure the siteowner and sitereq addresses are correct.) Thank you! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2004-12-23 11:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 CPanel sells a modified version of Mailman as part of its commercial hosting product. They have not made their modifications available to the Open Source developers and users of Mailman. Unless you can identify that this problem is present with unmodified, stable Mailman distribution source from sourceforge you will have to take this matter up with your ISP/or CPanel. This is not least because without the source code of the CPanel modifications it will be problematic diagnosing the cause of the problem you observe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1090208&group_id=103
