Hide list address?
by Ricardo Kleemann Nov. 17, 2023

Nov. 17, 2023

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.

Setting MIME as default for new Non-Digest subscribers
by Steve Reiter July 31, 2011

July 31, 2011

Hi - I have searched FAQ and archives to find an answer. Hoping you can help. I have a new list (with previously imported addresses) for announcements only, and wish these announcements to be received immediately. I set the defaults to allow non-digest and to not allow digest. I wish to send out announcements in html, and so wish to make the default for new subscribers be MIME. While I see a setting under Digest Options (MIME_is_Default_Digest), I don't see any equivalent option under … [View More]

MSN and HotMail "Eating" Messages
by fshagan May 24, 2007

May 24, 2007

Recently, my Mailman list users who use either a HotMail or MSN.COM email address have not received any messages. Mailman does not record a "bounce" from these email addresses, but they do not receive any of the list traffic. When trying to send a message to a Mailman list, the user gets the following error message: "This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification. Delivery to the following recipients failed." And it lists the Mailman list email address. However, Mailman … [View More]

March 21, 2006

Greetings, I cannot "Set everyone's moderation bit, including those members not currently visible" to on, in the membership management section in any list. I have set OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = 1 In /Mailman/mm_cfgy.py But still have the same problem. Also I cannot set or unset digest for all users, any thing I overlooked? This was happening before the changes made in the next issue explained below. In the last couple of days we had to reconfigure reverse mapping in DNS for … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] unsubscribe without confirmation
by Sintz, James Dec. 9, 2005

Thanks!! I understand the purpose of the confirmation, I just want the ability to turn it off. It is okay if users get unsubscribed from my list because of a spooked request. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Sapiro [mailto:msapiro@value.net] Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 11:52 AM To: Sintz, James; mailman-users(a)python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] unsubscribe without confirmation Sintz, James wrote: >Is there a way to enable unsubscribing without requiring user confirmation? … [View More]

by Arlequín Oct. 19, 2005

Oct. 19, 2005

Hello, there! I am using MailMain trough its web-based interface. I don't have access to the server where its runs, because it's a third-party hosting company which provides me the MailMan service. I want to export the subscribers list in a format like this: subscriber1(a)mydomain.com subscriber2(a)mydomain.com . . . . . . . subscriber9(a)mydomain.com I wasn't able to find the way to perform this operation, searching deeply into the options tree. Is it possible to obtain this kind of list? … [View More]

Mailman 2.1.5 and virtualdomains and/or subdomains
by Konrad Mauz Sept. 9, 2005

Sept. 9, 2005

Hi, I'm trying to setting up mailman and having trouble with virtualdomains and subdomains. I need a listing name schema of: xyz(a)a.fh-konstanz.de xyz(a)b.fh-konstanz.de xyz(a)c.fh-konstanz.de and so on. but I can only have "one" xyz list, since the domainname is not part of the "listname" My first workaround was: xyz(a)a.fh-konstanz.de is a-xyz(a)fh-konstanz.de and maps with sendmails virtusers and aliases database. Then I change the preferred hostname in the list configuration to a.fh-… [View More]

No mbox / No Archives
by Michael J McCafferty Aug. 1, 2005

Aug. 1, 2005

All, I am using Mailman 2.1.5 with Postfix on CentOS 3.5 (RHEL 3). My problem is that I have no archives. They are not being created. Each list is set to archive, and to make the archives public. I do have Apache set to follow symlinks. I also do not have any mbox directories or files being kept. I don't know why. I figure that I have no archives because I have no mboxes. I have checked the permissions (check_perms). Any thoughts on how to remedy or what to check next ? Thanks, Mike
