Umbrella Lists
by Marc Silverman July 26, 2005

July 26, 2005

Forgive me if I didn¹t locate a solution to this I did find some posts about Umbrella Lists, but nothing addressed my problem: I have a dozen mailing lists. I created an Umbrella List to post to all of them. The posts go out, but each separate list Holds the message for Admin Moderation: Reason: Message has implicit destination No matter what I¹ve tried, I cannot get my post to not hit the ³Hold for Admin Moderation² Facts you might want to know: I added each of the dozen list addresses … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Rewriting Headers in 2.1.5
by Cogley, Rick July 26, 2005

July 26, 2005

Mark - thanks very much for your response and advice. >>Make the "another-list" list anonymous. Then the From: address in the message it sends back to the tracking system will be the address of the list which can be a registered user in the tracking system. The original submitter is still available in the From: header of the attached message. >>Alternatively, if you can make the tracking system validate on envelope sender, you only need to register another-list-bounces(a)… [View More]domainofmine.net as a user in the tracking system. Note that if you can do this, you might also be able to have the rejected-as-unknown mail go directly back to the tracking system depending on what the envelope sender of the rejected-as-unknown mail is. It's now working, and here is what I did to get this working with TrackStudio (the tracking system I use)- * created a single list [prereg] with a single member track(a)domainofmine.net, and set the list to anonymous * set the tracking system "reject" mail address to prereg(a)domainofmine.net * created a user in the tracking system with email address prereg(a)domainofmine.net, and granted it post permissions on a particular folder - folder "PREREG" * associated an email import rule on the PREREG folder - "import mail with subject that contains "[prereg]" " Now when a mail comes in to track(a)domainofmine.net, it is sent to the tracking system, which looks at it to see if it can be processed. If it cannot, the system rejects it sending it to the mailman list. The mainman list reformats the subject line and From: address, making it look like the mail is coming in from the list itself, and, resends to track(a)domainofmine.net. When the tracking system receives the second time, it now recognizes the From address as being from a known user, and sees that the mail's subject matches a string in one of the import rules, and thereby imports to the correct folder. Now I have another potential problem that I would like to bounce off the list. If an unknown user sends an email in, and includes no information in the body of the text such as an informative signature or other text indicating who they are, since the From: gets overwritten, we have a potential situation where we cannot tell who sent the mail in. The tracking system is not an email client per se, and does not allow you to view headers. Therefore I would like to grab the initial From: address (say, unknown(a)someco.com) and put it on the subject line, or, in the body. How can I accomplish that with Mailman? Google and RTF FAQ etc have given some info about VERP, but I would like to get some advice before embarking on a wild goose chase. Also, for some reason the tracking system does not do very well with importing footers, where I know you can place personalized info. Can I add the original From: to the bottom of the body? Can someone kindly point me in the right direction? TIA!! Best Regards, Rick Cogley Tokyo, Japan [View Less]

Hello everyone, I have a mailing list that appears to have eaten a post today, and I'm a bit concerned because the mailman logs don't include any information as to why. First, the exim logs show that the message was sucessfully received and routed to mailman: 2005-07-25 12:23:57 1Dx5kD-0005Ag-0p <= lin-mark(a)lin-mark.com H=rwcrmhc12.comcast.net [216.148.227.85] P=esmtp S=7082 id=01fc01c59135$30b79900$2202a8c0@MarkXP 2005-07-25 12:23:57 1Dx5kD-0005Ag-0p => linmarka <Linmarka(a)list.… [View More]

setting options globally via email
by Thomas Tschoellitsch July 25, 2005

July 25, 2005

Hello, is there a way I can set options for mailman accounts on a specific server with more than one list globally (similar to what you can do via the web interface by ticking the 'set globally' box)? I'd like to do this for options that you can adjust via the set command - so e.g. 'set ack on' for all lists on of a specific server. Thanks in advance! Thomas Tschoellitsch

Query list for dynamic mailings (sub lists)?
by Vince Van De Coevering July 25, 2005

July 25, 2005

I've been asked to upgrade the mailing portion of the companies e-deals web site. The current method of sending mail is primitive at best and requires a lot of maintenance to keep bounces to a minimum. I am impressed with mailman and its ability to manage most of these functions. What I need to be able to do is to send mail to all customers, those customers who sign up for a particular store and to send email to customers on (or near) their birthday. Obviously, I would need to extend the … [View More]

Hi I have the problem, that I don't know where I can set that members must have passwords by default. The problem is, that if no password is set, other persons can change the user options. Greets Alexander Baldauf ISG-SB DFKI
