virtual host problem - mail not originating from subdomain
by David Buntin Aug. 21, 2007

Aug. 21, 2007

I'm a newbie to Mailman. I've read through the archives and seen many posts around this topic. None of the threads seem to fit my problem. The solution may be there, but perhaps I just can't see it. I apologize if it is. Here's my problem with details changed to keep it generic: - I have a server at www.domain.com <http://www.domain.com/> and host a list with address list1(a)domain.com. - I have configured a subdomain for a customer at www.subdomain.domain.com <http://www.… [View More]

Adding One Address to accept_these_nonmembers
by Barry Finkel Aug. 20, 2007

Aug. 20, 2007

I have a number of similarly named lists. Is there a way through the command line with withlist to ADD one e-mail address to the accept_these_nonmembers list of e-mail addresses without going through the admin web interface for each list to make the addition? Each of the lists currently has its own set of non-member posters, so I do not want to have the same list of non-member posters for each list. I know from a recent posting how to change one variable setting in a number of lists, … [View More]

Can this be done using Mailman?
by DAve Aug. 20, 2007

Aug. 20, 2007

Good morning/Afternoon/evening, I've been looking for a possible solution now for a few days, checked the docs, archives, search engines, etc. No clue. We maintain several large mail lists for a client, excess of 40k subscribers, all opt-in - verified - signed in blood addresses. We use verp to purge the list of mis behaving subscribers. People who use the AOL spam button to unsubscribe and their ilk. No issues there, all is working fine. The client is asking for the ability to manage … [View More]

a few questions about the NNTP gateway
by Manlio Perillo Aug. 20, 2007

Aug. 20, 2007

Hi all. I'm using Mailman 2.1.5. I have enabled the NNTP Gateway but there are some problems. 1) The messages from the newsgroup are not sent on the mailing list. I don't know why, there is nothing in the error log 2) When sending a message to the newsgroup, Mailman does not obscure the email address (there is an obscure_addresses, but it only works for the web archiver) I would like to know if 2) has been implemented in recent Mailman releases. One last thing. What happens … [View More]

Bounce processing
by John Mellon Aug. 20, 2007

Aug. 20, 2007

Hi there I am new to this, please excuse. My ISP has created a Mailman mailing list service, which is working fine, except for one problem: As list moderator/administrator, if I send an email to my subscribers, and some subscribers have bad email addresses, I would like to receive a list of those addresses that are bad. My ISP does not seem to be able to help with this. I understand from the FAQs that there is a bounce log file generated by Mailman, but being removed from the technical … [View More]

Is it possible to filter what is archived?
by Mike Peachey Aug. 20, 2007

Aug. 20, 2007

If you assume Mailman is configured for an organisation as a hierarchical structure of umbrealla lists.. e.g.: ALL@ -> Dept1@, Dept2@, Dept3@ Dept1@ -> Dept1admin@, dept1engineers@ Dept2@ -> Dept2admin@, dept2engineers@ Dept3@ -> Dept3admin@, dept3engineers@ When archiving, it can get a bit messy when e-mails to ALL@ get archived in all of the sub lists the messages pass through. What I would like to do is filter what gets archived so that if a message originates in mailman (… [View More]
