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]

Web admin slow
by Jon Harris Dec. 1, 2006

Dec. 1, 2006

Hi List I have a (bit aged) Redhat 9 box (Pentium II/512Mb RAM) running Mailman 2.1.6 with Postfix. Its only has to run a single moderated mailing list sending out one email every day to around 20,000 subscribers. Sending out the emails is not problem - it works great. The major problem is logging in to approve the email. It (Apache/2.0.40) is so slow that it usually times out with a 500 error after you try and login. Is there a way of speeding up the web interface? Can I approve postings … [View More]

Hello Folks, I recently setup a mailman server with ver 2.1.6, and I am liking it so far.

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.

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]

March 3, 2006

Hi, I use spamassassin to filter spam. So I configured a rule in mailman that detect the string "{Spam}" in the subject of the email and then defer the email. The problem is that mailman sent to owner of the list the email that is spam with the body of the email. So, spamassassin detects the body and mark the email as spam, and mailman differ the mail sended to the owner. My question is: how can I configure mailman to not sent the body of the email in the notification to the owner of the … [View More]

user is removed, but they still receive list emails
by Zack Beatty March 3, 2006

March 3, 2006

I've removed sevaral list members, using the Mailman Admin interface. However, they're still gettting my mailings, and are threatening to complain to the spam cops? I've double checked to confirm that these email addresses are NOT in my membership list. What's the deal? ZB __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
