[Bug 1586070] [NEW] Non Member Filters Not Working with Special Characters
Public bug reported: When using the @ symbol to Allow another mailing list to send to that list, any email address from the allowed to send list still gets held for moderation. EX: list2@mycompany.com has the following in the List of non-member addresses whose postings should be automatically accepted. @list1@mycompany.com Any member of list1 should now be allowed to send to list2. But, Members from list1 are still getting held for moderation??? Any help would be appreciated.

The @listname syntax uses just a list name in the same Mailman installation, not a list posting address. If you have standard GNU Mailman, this should be just '@list1' in this case. Please clarify whether this is the issue or if you have a Mailman which is modified to allow the same name in different virtual hosts by appending '@domain' so that the actual list name is list1@mycompany.com. ** Changed in: mailman Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1586070 Title: Non Member Filters Not Working with Special Characters To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1586070/+subscriptions
Not sure what you mean by "the same mailman installation"?? I am using the standard mailman from Bluehost. We have not modified mailman at all. I may not have explained my situation clearly enough. I will try again. I have a list list1@mycompany.com with 5 people. It is a members only mailing list. Only those 5 can send to the list. I have another list list2@mycompany.com with 50 people. There is an option for Allowing non members to send to a list. I do not want to type all 50 email addresses in the allow to send box. There is a help option that stated if you use the @ symbol and a list name, all email addresses on the list will be allowed to send. I tried just @list2 and received the same results. I contacted Bluehost support and was told I needed the whole list name after the @ symbol (@list2@mycompany.com). Therefore I typed @list2@mycompany.com as the allowed to send address. These email addresses are getting held for moderation as non members trying to send to a members only list.

You need to use the same listname as in URLs for the web admin UI for the list. I don't know how Bluehost uniquifies list names, but it is likely something like list2-mycompany.com or list2_mycompany.com. I *think* Bluehost uses cPanel Mailman and if this is the case, use @list2_mycompany.com, but in any case use exactly the same listname as in the listname part of URLs for the web UI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1586070 Title: Non Member Filters Not Working with Special Characters To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1586070/+subscriptions

cPanel is correct. As well as the url, it is the _ in cPanel. I have changed the lists from list2@mycompany.com TO list2_mycompany.com I will test and reply with my results.
