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.

Add "sender's name/email" to BODY of mail as header?
by Mal Feb. 17, 2021

Feb. 17, 2021

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 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]

Changing the received time on an outgoing authorized email message?
by Paul Key Sept. 8, 2010

Sept. 8, 2010

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 July 24, 2009

July 24, 2009

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/ … [View More]

running External Archiver on background/foreground
by Mohamed CHAARI Jan. 17, 2008

Jan. 17, 2008

Hi all, I'm using Mailman for lists management, in a collaboration infrastructure site. I configured Mailman so that an external archiver is used, but I hesitate to run this archiver in background or foreground. More concretely, in mm_cfg.py conf file, should I put: PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = 'cat > /var/run/mailman/mail_tmp; /usr/local/bin/external_arch %(listname)s' or PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = 'cat > /var/run/mailman/mail_tmp; /usr/local/bin/external_arch %(listname)s &' … [View More]

Restoring lists on newer version
by Ivan Van Laningham Dec. 10, 2007

Dec. 10, 2007

Hi All-- My server suffered a catastrophic hard drive failure. I have backups (unfortunately, two weeks old, but that's better than nothing), but when the server was restored I was forced to upgrade to Fedora 6 (from 4) and to Mailman 2.1.9, where it used to be 2.1.5 (I think). I also have Plesk, through which I make new lists; once the lists are made, their administration is exactly like a normal Mailman installation, except for the locations, which I know. List aliases are made by … [View More]

Removing admin email addresses
by Spyro Polymiadis Dec. 5, 2007

Dec. 5, 2007

Hi All, Im using mailman 2.1.9, and ive got close to 100 mail lists on it. We just have had one of our IT guys leave our company, and I was wondering if there was an easy (bulk, cli) way to remove/change the email address from the "List of Administrators" (2nd text box in General Options) Otherwise, its very a very cumbersome job to log in to each list and remove the address manually.
