Add "sender's name/email" to BODY of mail as header?

by Mal

I want all mails sent to the list to come from the list's email address... But, in this case, if the user forgets to sign their name at the bottom of their mail body, effectively the mail to the list is anonymous...! Is there a way to add the user name (or email address) to the top of each mail so that the mails have the name of the sender, while the mail itself comes from the list address? I have looked high and low for an answer, but noone seems to have the solution. Thank you! Mal

Setting MIME as default for new Non-Digest subscribers

by Steve Reiter

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 Non-Digest Options... and new subscribers continue to come in as plain text. QUESTIONS: In order to avoid having to manually change this option for each existing subscriber, is there a way to force all existing subscribers to receive MIME in Non-Digest mode? If not, is there a way to force all NEW subscribers to be enrolled with MIME as their default? Also, is there a way to "lock" the MIME switch on, so that users who try to change their option to plain text will be prevented from doing so? Thanks - Steve

Changing the received time on an outgoing authorized email message?

by Paul Key

When authorizing a moderated list posting is it possible to change the date/time on the outgoing authorized list message to the time it was approved instead of the message showing the time it was first received by mailman? Thanks Paul

Mailman/Qmail/Plesk Problem

by Douglas G. Phillips

OK, I've got another problem with Qmail/Plesk/Mailman (same customer, rebuilt server). Plesk is 7.5.4 reloaded. Mail delivered fails with "need GID 110 got 101" error. I set up the brute-force wrapper to deliver with GID 110, and set the permissions correctly for it to work. Now, I'm getting the following (broken up into multiple lines for courtesy): qmail: 1157518628.995172 delivery 726: success: group_mismatch_error._Mailman_expected_the_mail_wrapper_script_to_be/ executed_as_one_of_the_following_groups:/[mail,_nobody,_mailman],/ but_the_system's_mail_server_executed_the_mail_script_as_group:_"popuser"./ Try_tweaking_the_mail_server_to_run_the_script_as_one_of_these_groups:/ [mail,_nobody,_mailman],/or_re-run_configure_providing_the_ command_line_option:/'--with-mail-gid=popuser'./Failed_to_start_ /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman./did_0+0+1/ I'm about ready to pull my hair out. I even added the popuser user to the mailman group in /etc/passwd. So, that being said, are there any ideas out there? I have been messing with this for a week, and have not come up with anything else to do. -- Douglas G.

is it possible to set up mailman on a host without a MTA?

by Tomasz Chmielewski

Is it possible to set up mailman on a host without a MTA? I imagine mailman could easily send emails through an external MTA, and receive email using externam pop3 or imap account - however, I didn't find many hints about such setup in the fine documentation. Any clues? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://blog.wpkg.org

ImportError: No module named _md5

by Helmut Schneider

Hi, I'm running mailman 2.1.9 chrooted. Recently FreeBSD switched from Python2.4 to Python2.5 as default. As an effect mailman won't start anymore using Python2.5: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 107, in <module> from Mailman import Utils File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py", line 32, in <module> import sha File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/sha.py", line 6, in <module> from hashlib import sha1 as sha File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/hashlib.py", line 133, in <module> md5 = __get_builtin_constructor('md5') File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/hashlib.py", line 60, in __get_builtin_constructor import _md5 ImportError: No module named _md5 What did I miss? I suspect that some additional files need to be copied to the jail but which ones? Using Python2.4 mailman still works fine. Thanks, Helmut

Posts to list returned

by montgoss

I setup a new list. But the messages aren't going through. I get a "returned mail" with the following: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <list(a)my-domain.com> (reason: 550 5.1.1 User unknown) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 5.1.1 <list(a)my-domain.com>... User unknown I have no clue what that error means. And none of my searching turned up a solution that worked for me. Thanks, Steven -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Posts-to-list-returned-tf4709439.html#a13461150 Sent from the Mailman - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
