I've unchecked that field for the affected users. Think that could be the culprit? I'm going to wait until we have another broadcast email going out to see the results. >2) Is it a gmail account? Gmail (and possibly others) filter out by >message ID anything that came from the the recipient. Nope, not Gmail. But good to know of that behavior; it might crop up as a question in the future from one of our users. Oleg also wrote: >Seems like there's some problem in user's settings, did he checked >``Sent my own posts to list to me'' or some like that? That option is set to "Yes" for the users I'm dealing with. So I'm mystified--if it's not the settings change I described above. Thanks, guys! Allan

When I try to remove a member from a ban_list, I receive an error message. It only says: Error (in red) Bad email address for option ban_list and then all the banned member are listed. I am correctly removing the member. Any ideas? J////

Double address in Reply-To header
by Tomi Snellman Aug. 25, 2006

Aug. 25, 2006

Hi Our Mailman was recently upgraded to 2.1.5. After the upgrade, a couple of subscribers began complaining that they were receiving double replies to their posts. It turned out that their MUA was appending their private address to the list address in the Reply-To header. I've tried to find out what is happening, but without success. One subscriber was using an old version of Outlook Express, but she was still getting the same behaviour after she upgraded OE, and even after she switched over to Thunderbird. Another subscriber is using some version of elm. What really makes me wonder, what is different in the messages that this can happen at all? With the old version of Mailman, nothing of the sort happened. TIA Tomi Snellman

SMTPHOST?
by Jay Vaagen Aug. 25, 2006

Anyone have any suggestions on this issue? Mailman is running, and I've created a few different mailing lists. I'm running Blue Quartz and have virtual domains. Currently all email sent from Mailman is originating from my localhost FQDN. I would like email from one of my virtual domains to originate from that domain name/IP, not the localhost domain name and IP.. Is this possible? Thanks!

Exchange is really all that's recently changed in our environment. I think I'll focus my trouble-shooting there now. Thank you, all! Allan -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

OK, I'll do that. But once I determine the problem, then how to fix it? Say I confirm Mailman is only delivering one copy of a message (rather than 20), what can I do? (First thing I do will probably be to come right back here and post!)

Sendmail can't keep up with qfiles/out director
by Rob Jackson Aug. 24, 2006

Aug. 24, 2006

Our mail server is getting overloaded and the out directory will hit over 7,000 in just one day, and we can't clear them out fast enough. We are using Sendmail as our MTA. How can we speed things up? -Rob

Sender not receiving messages
by Allan Trick Aug. 24, 2006

Aug. 24, 2006

Anyone have a clue as to why one of our people might not be receiving messages he is sending to lists to which he is subscribed? I've checked and see his address on the membership list for each list. The "mod" box is unchecked. (I'm also subscribed to these lists and received all the messages he sent out.) But he hasn't received any of them. My first thought was a filter or rule on his local email client. But I don't see any evidence of that. Therefore I'm suspicious there's a setting somewhere in Mailman that is preventing his messages from being sent to himself. Thanks in advance! Allan

Actually, looks like the nodupes box is checked on most if not all of our user records. Each school year we dump and reimport all the addresses for all our lists (because we don't have a direct link to Exchange or our Banner administration system). I guess when I did the import everything came in with nodupes checked. Is there a global way to uncheck that for everyone on all our lists? I certainly don't want to go in to each person's record and uncheck that box. :-) Thx, Allan
