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]

moderation bit silently turns off on some lists
by Michael McAndrew Oct. 16, 2007

Oct. 16, 2007

Hi there, I operate a number of mailing lists. Some of these lists are announce only lists. The annouce only lists work by setting everyone's moderation bit to 1 apart from those that have posting permission. This is done automatically by a script that takes its data from a remote database via a text file that is created when requested. (and yes, I know that's a long winded way of doing things!) But every now and again on some lists (its only happened so far on large lists) all the … [View More]

Preventing spam to list owners
by Gary Spivey Oct. 4, 2007

Oct. 4, 2007

My lists are locked down to only allow posts from members, so my members are not getting any SPAM. However, as list owner, every one of my lists is getting a large amount of SPAM - generally sent to the listname-owner or to mailman-owner. My maillog entry looks like this: Sep 23 10:39:34 hostname sendmail[17245]: l8NHdYwF017244: to="|/usr/lib/mailman/mail /mailman owner mailman", ctladdr=<mailman-owner(a)my.domain.com> (8/0), delay =00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=140071,… [View More]

Hello all! I would like to run mailman 2.1.9 at my site. I have a web server with apache2 and a mailserver with zimbra; these are 2 different servers. Where do i install mailman? On the apache2 server or on the mailserver, or does it matter which one? Please excuse my novice-ness. Chris

Bounce Processing -- Disable/Removal Notification
by Greg Sims Sept. 30, 2007

Sept. 30, 2007

We have a newsletter type list that has been running for almost two years now. The list currently has 1,100 members who receive one email each morning. The Bounce Configuration page for this list is configured as follows: Yes, 5.0, 30, 2, 7, Yes, Yes, Yes which I believe may be the defaults. The system is running under RedHat V4. I ran the following command: grep 'score' /var/log/mailman/bounce and received a list of 28 users that have records containing "(score 5.0 >= 5.0)". I can … [View More]
