Hide list address?
by Ricardo Kleemann Nov. 16, 2023

Nov. 16, 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. 16, 2021

Feb. 16, 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]

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]

migrating Mailman server
by Peter Matulis Sept. 19, 2007

Sept. 19, 2007

I have the task of setting up a replacement for an existing Mailman/Postfix server. I am new to Mailman and I am looking for some guidance in this transition. Mailman is currently being used solely as a diffusion of information. That is, it does not accept contributions from list members (read-only). Firstly, should I attempt to migrate data/files over to the new system or should I start fresh? The new system will be running OpenBSD 4.0. Other comments welcome. Peter

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]

Original sender address stripped from forwarded emails.
by Jeff Thurston March 30, 2007

March 30, 2007

Hello list, I have a rather simple issue with my mailman list server, when someone forwards an email from the list to someone else, the original senders email address is removed. Instead it says the usual: From: listname-bounces(a)listserver.com [mailto:listname-bounces@listserver.com] On Behalf Of John Doe Sent: Friday, March 30, 2007 9:19 AM To: listname(a)listserver.com Subject: [Listname] Subject. --- I read up on the general options for an individual list and saw two functions that … [View More]
