Hide list address?
by Ricardo Kleemann 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

Hi, Is there any way to configure Mailman such that, for an announcement-only type list, when a message is sent to the list, the To: shows the member's address, rather than the list address? Some list software allows the ability to hide the list address itself, so that address is not advertised. I couldn't find any configuration specific to that.

Where is 'reject' message stored
by Warren Hoffman 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

One of my associates set up content filters to reject attachments and other things. He created a custom message to explain this. Now he wants to change the message, but I cannot locate which file in /mailman holds the text (and I did look at all of them). Can somebody tell me how I could find it. I do know text fragments. Thanks!!! --Warren

Upgrade hell (Debian)

Upgrade script broke (not the first time). from Mailman import MailList from Mailman.LockFile import TimeOutError from Mailman.i18n import _ I'm getting error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/update", line 51, in ? from Mailman.i18n import _ ImportError: No module named i18n It doesn't balk on the line before, so it doesn't seem to be a path issue. When I comment that line out (for grins), it balks on: from Mailman.Queue.Switchboard import Switchboard from Mailman import OldStyleMemberships from Mailman.MemberAdaptor import BYBOUNCE, ENABLED Any clues? -- _Deirdre http://deirdre.net "Cannot run out of time.

Mailing List Defaults
by Merle Reine 19 Feb '04

19 Feb '04

Hello, all. I have around 300 mailing lists and more going up all the time. For each list I setup, I have to setup some defaults for our company such as listadmin, do not send pass reminders, digest options, etc. My question is, is there a way to set my particular defaults to be the defaults for a newlist creation? So when I create a new list, all the settings that I usually have to go into and change for each and every list would already be there? I have created a custom admin page with just a simple text box with "Create List". this way, only I can get to this page and to add a list, I simply type in the name and hit submit to create the list. If I could get it to have all the defaults I normally have to change and have them setup by default, it would make for no hassle management. If anyone knows where the defaults are stored for a list creation, or how to change all of the defaults, please let me know.

As I said, you would set this just above where you set the list footer on the non-digest options page. The section states: "Should Mailman personalize each non-digest delivery? This is often useful for announce-only lists, but read the details section for a discussion of important performance issues." Also, please reply to the list so that the answers will be in the archive for others to benefit from in the future.

More on Sendmail
by T. Glen Haggard 03 Feb '04

03 Feb '04

Sorry for the multiple post on this. In researching more it seems that Mailman must create an alias in the /etc/aliases file. If this is so does it run the new aliases program? There are entries in this file from Mailman but nothing about the new lists that I created. This must be why they do not work. So what is the fix? How do I make Mailman write to the aliases file and run new aliases, if this is needed? Is there something in Mailman that I missed? Glen

The recommended method to reduce or change your archive is to edit the file .../private/etrans-echanges.mbox/etrans-echanges.mbox and remove the older messages from the file. Once you have done this, you can run /usr/local/mailman/bin/arch --wipe etrans-echange You can also try and figure out which message in the mbox file you want to start archiving (instead of deleting them from the file) and run .../bin/arch --start=N --wipe etrans-echange At least this should get you started. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own
