How to accept mail from a single IP / DNS name only for a given list
by Emmett Perdue 01 Jan '09

1st, forgive me if this has been answered before. I have searched high and low and can not find an answer to my question. How can I setup a list so that mail can be accepted ONLY from 1 IP address? As an example I have a list named abc(a)123.com and it is setup as an announce list only accepting mail from 1 user with an address of bob(a)123.com . How can I set this list up so that even if the mail appears to come from bob(a)123.com the email will post to the list ONLY if bob(a)123.com's email came from bobspc.123.com which has an an IP address of 123.456.789.246 Thanks!

version 2.1.11 It appears that at least some of the help files are no longer available at the links embedded in Mailman, like this one: http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/re-syntax.html I wonder if someone with the keys to Mailman and/or python.org can fix this. - - - - - - - - - - - - Michael Welch, volunteer Redwood Alliance PO Box 293 Arcata, CA 95518 707-822-7884 mwelch(a)redwoodalliance.org www.redwoodalliance.org

Finding nomail subscribers
by Bernie Cosell 31 Dec '08

31 Dec '08

Is there a way to find the 'nomail' subscribers to a list [or, for that matter, subscribers selected by other criteria: e.g., all subscribers getting the list via digest]? I got a bounce-set-to-nomail notice and I cleverly deleted it by mistake and I'd like to follow up but I don't see an easy way to find the two bouncees other than shuffle through the [fairly large] list, 18-members-at-a-time looking for the two 'nomail/bounce's. Is there an easier way? [command line is fine: I do have shell access to the mailman server] Thanks! /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:bernie@fantasyfarm.com Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--

Dear all, I am new user in this list. I have question that confusing me, I setup mailman-2.1.11 by manual from source package. My system is a mailserver using postfix virtual. hostname of the server is "mail" with domain "domain.com". My question are: 1. I had install the mail server successfully and also can send email to other mail server such as yahoo and gmail. In the recipient, email sent from my mail server identify as "from : username(a)domain.com". but, why in mailman admin webinterface it listed as username(a)mail.domain.com. ?? 2. I cannot invite any person although in mailman admin web interface the user already "successfully invited". Are there something missing in my configuration.? please help. BR, Denny

Re: [Mailman-Users] mutiple senders listed

It's a server running only postfix and mailman, with an apache frontend for mailman. It runs multiple lists, and this is the only problem it seems to have, so it gets blocked by some recipients. >This doesn't look like a Mailman list. Return-Path: reflects the >envelope sender of the mail and if it is the Apache user, that >indicates this is something like phplist or some other web based list >manager. >Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, >San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

multiple senders listed

my mailing list is working fine, but there are 2 issues: 1. mail appears to come from 2 addresses, i.e.: From: noreply(a)domain.com, rn(a)www.domain.com 2. Return Path lists apache user, so: Return-Path: www-data(a)www.domain.com how can I fix these? Thanks, Cameron

Removing moderation flag via the command line
by Joe Auty 23 Dec '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I'm trying to remove the moderator flag on some users via the command line so that these users are allowed to post to lists where the moderator flag is set by default. I found this posting from Feb. 2005, but this doesn't appear to be working for me: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-February/042396.html My script in the Mailman base directory: > # DU mailman Modules > # This should live in the base Mailman install directory to be seen by the withlist Mailman binary. > > from Mailman import mm_cfg > from Mailman.Errors import NotAMemberError > > # Set a member's moderator flag to on or off > # e.g. to disable moderation: setMemberModeratedFlag listname, email_address, '' > def setMemberModeratedFlag (mlist, addr, mod): > #print "Setting moderator flag to ",mod," for ",addr > mlist.setMemberOption (addr, mm_cfg.Moderate, mod) > mlist.Save() My input: # withlist -l -r du.setMemberModeratedFlag testlist myemailaddress '' Importing du... Running du.setMemberModeratedFlag()... Loading list testlist (locked) Unlocking (but not saving) list: testlist Finalizing (I also tried replacing the double quotes with "off"). This does not actually remove the flag for this address - posting to the list by this address still gets a bounce back saying that moderator approval is required.
