Summary: Bad info in monthly reminder headers
Initial Comment:
It appears that "Return-Path", "Sender", "Errors-
To", "X-BeenThere" are all being set to the incorrect
list when sending out the monthly info. [on the 4
list servers that I run, it turned out to be the
alphabetically first list in all 4 cases]
See the example below where dj@subscriber.com is a
member of "junk" and "testa" yet "Return-
Path", "Sender", "Errors-To" and "X-BeenThere" are all
attributed to the "alist", and if subscriber.com
bounced the message for some reason, "alist-admin"
would be wondering why s/he couldn't find him amongst
the list members. [BTW - this is information exactly
as I received it for my subscriptions on one server.
Domains and IPs are the only things changed (for
privacy).]
In a perfect world this wouldn't be an issue, however,
the poor admin of alist (example headers below)
receives all the returns from all list reminders that
get sent out every month (and is starting to get tired
of it). Wouldn't it be better if these were
attributed to (one of) the list(s) that the subscriber
is a member of? Or if not that, shouldn't they at
least be attributed to mailman-owner (as in the "From"
header field)?
Return-Path:
# a_public_list = None some_admin_list = 'mm-reminders' a_public_list = MailList.MailList(some_admin_list, lock=0)

Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-04-05 14:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Note that in MM2.0, all reminders appear to come from the first public list at your site. This is a design flaw that's fixed in MM2.1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Russell Whitaker (whitaker) Date: 2001-12-10 19:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=68054 I should have added this information: the problem was seen in our (my company's) Mailman 2.0.6 and 2.0.8 installations. In the meantime, we have disabled the monthly 'mailpasswds' cron entry for security reasons.

For that matter, is this issue going to be assigned a fixer? Thanks, Russell Whitaker ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Paula B Morrison (morri027) Date: 2001-08-06 11:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=290757 We are experiencing the same problem - the return mail for all lists is going to the administrators of another list. However, the list that is getting the return mail is NOT the first list alphabetically. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean Reifschneider (jafo) Date: 2001-05-03 02:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=81797 Hmm, I just verified this on one the messages sent out on one of our boxes running Mailman 2.0.4. FYI. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=420482&group_id=103
