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

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]

migrating Mailman server
by Peter Matulis Sept. 20, 2007

Sept. 20, 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

Message received by mailman and archives, but won't deliver
by Kyle Banerjee Sept. 1, 2007

Sept. 1, 2007

Howdy all, I've been stumped with a problem with my installation of mailman 2.1.9. OS is BSD, and MTA is sendmail if that matters. Problem is that if I send mail to a list, it never gets sent out I can see the mail come through in maillog just fine. It shows up as posted with success in post. It shows up in smtp as sent to the number of recipients. I even see an outgoing message in maillog. But no one gets it. I really don't think it is a spam thing because the lists are huge and no one is … [View More]

Hyphenated Lists Stopped Working
by Andrey Falko Sept. 1, 2007

Sept. 1, 2007

Hi everyone, Here is how I migrated mailman from one server to another: 1) Create all mailings lists on destination server. 2) Copy the following folders to the destination server. archives data lists lists-generic locks logs qfiles spam 3) Ran fixurl for all lists (probably not relevant). Lists with hyphens like, "-", no longer work. Postix has no trouble delivering mail to these lists to the maildir, but the emails simply lie in /var/lib/… [View More]

problems with new web host and "too many complaints"
by Jonathan Dill Aug. 31, 2007

Aug. 31, 2007

Greetings, I hope this is not too OT, hopefully someone here has had a similar experience and can offer some practical advice, I'm not sure what to tell this customer at this point. I have a customer who has a fairly large opt-in only mailman mailing list (~40,000 subscribers) that they use to send out a weekly newsletter, people seem to primarily subscribe for the weekly contest for free tickets to events. Unsubscribe links are conspicuous, and people who otherwise complain are … [View More]

Limit to the Number of Subscribers for each list?
by wittygal Aug. 31, 2007

Aug. 31, 2007

Hi, I have my account hosted on bluehost. I have 5 new email lists that have been transferred to me from other mailman lists on a closing isp. The problem is there are delays from when a message is receive until it is sent out. Blue host support tells me that mailman only supports up to 150 subscribers per list. Is this true? What other reason could there be for such a problem. They tell me that phplist doesn't have the problems mailman does. Is there some response to this I could refer them to.
