Today I created several email lists. On all of them, when I send a message to the list (which I am subscribed to) I get the message with the correct "To:" and "From:" headers, but the "Sender;" header is set to listname-bounces(a)mydomain.com. For example if the list is mylist(a)mydomain.com, "Sender:" on any received messages is set to: mylist-bounces@mydomain,com. The message body is correct and To and From are correct. How can I correct this. Many thanks. -- Thanks. Everett Johnson * NOTE:* Please do not send my email address to ANY company without my explicit permission. For example, DO NOT use it to send me a greeting card, news article, or anything thing else that will be emailed to me by someone other than you. Doing so has made my old evjohn.com domain name entirely unusable, and consumed many hours of time in recovering from the situation. Thanks.

create a copy of current mailman lists
by Jeff DeReus 23 May '06

All, I am interested in copying my entire mailman installation over to another machine to act as a mirror server in order to attempt an upgrade without the risk of breaking my current installation. Is there one certain directory path that I would have to move over in order to attempt this? or, can I install the latest mailman version and import mail list information in order to test? is one preferrable to another? Thank you, Jeff D

I don't know much about regular expressions, is this the proper format /^Medical -/g I want any email with "Medical -" to be filter into a topic.

If your ISP has their MTA properly configured so it is not an open relay, it is very likely the MTA refusing to relay mail from a source it does not recognize as valid. Without the fully qualified domain name, the MTA has no idea if somebody is trying to bounce spam off of it, it needs it to verify that the mail is from an allowed sender. This is a good thing.

Thank you very much John & Mark for your answers! I don't know if it is related to Mailman-Users but... is there some way to change the envelope of the messages? Bye, Antonio

Messages discarded by ISP

Hi! I have configured a mail server with Sendmail on my office and mails are sent fine. I'm using MailMan to send a newsletter to a test list of five people, one from hotmail, one from gmail, one from yahoo and two from my ISP (including my address). The newsletter is sent fine to all of the recipients (I've checked sendmail queue) but for some reason my ISP is discarding the message for their addresses (hotmail, gmail and yahoo are working fine). I suspect the problem is related to the headers sent by MailMan because when I send the newsletter directly from my mail client trough my office server, it is received without problems (the only difference between the one sent by MailMan and the one sent by my mail client is the headers). Is there some special header sent by MailMan that is well known as some kind of SPAM header? Thanks in advance! Greetings, Antonio

Is anyone running postfix with DomainKeys, if so how well does it work with Mailman. Do you notice any loss in speed when sending to lists?

PGP keys causing problems
by Jeff DeReus 21 May '06

21 May '06

Hello, I am running mailman 2.1.5 with sendmail. One of my users sent in an attachment with a message to the list. When he signs with his PGP key, only the PGP signature remains in the message. I have yet to locate the rest of the message. It is necessary to disable the signature to allow his posts to go through properly. Is there a method to allow for secure signatures on messages? I have searched quite a bit and have yet to find relevant information. Any information/assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jeff D
