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

not really an umbrella?

Mailman 2.1.5 on RedHat Linux - How can I set up a new list that sends to multiple existing lists - but only sends one message to each person - even if the person is a member of multiple lists? a. LSOFT calls this a "superlist" b. Can "Mailman" do this? c. In this case, we have a system newsletter that will be sent to multiple lists. I'd like people to receive the message only once, even if they are on more than one of the lists included in the mailing. Thank you, … [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]

Some detail questions about migrating lists
by Frank Griffin March 16, 2008

March 16, 2008

Hi all, I need to migrate lists from an *old* Slackware system running MM 2.0 (0x200000f0) to a new system where MM is installed via RPM (2.1.9). I've read the posts linked to by the FAQ, and the basic procedure is to copy the data, lists, and archives directories and run withlist fix_url. But I have a couple of minor questions: According to the UPGRADE document, file formats have changed as have actual files (some new, some gone). What triggers the 2.1 version to do the necessary … [View More]

mass subscribe by email
by Julian Bradfield March 7, 2008

March 7, 2008

This appears to be a moderately FAQ, but I haven't yet found an answer in the archives, and I can't immediately extract one from the source. As a list owner, how do I *by email* subscribe a number of users, without requiring either their or my separate approval? (The normal list setting is to require admin approval.)

Regular expressions in list config files?
by bernholdtde＠ornl.gov March 3, 2008

March 3, 2008

Our corporate mail gateway adds a header to flag things it believes are spam. I'd like to be able to take advantage of this in my Mailman lists. I'm having some problems setting the header_filter_rules properly. If I use a simple regex, like '^x-spam-flag: *yes' it seems to show up properly in the configuration. But if I use a more precise regex that accounts for all forms of whitespace with the "\s" sequence, like this '^\s*x-spam-flag:\s*yes\s*$' then what appears in the … [View More]
