Hide list address?
by Ricardo Kleemann Nov. 16, 2023

Nov. 16, 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. 16, 2021

Feb. 16, 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. 7, 2010

Sept. 7, 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]

Phantom moderation pending requests & heldmsg files
by Chris Waltham May 8, 2008

May 8, 2008

A couple of weeks ago our Mailman 2.0 server crashed (a physical problem, it wasn't Mailman's fault!) and we had to upgrade to 2.1 in a real hurry. As a result, I had to copy the entire ~mailman/data directory... which may not have been such a good idea: [mailman@list ~/data]$ ls -al | wc -l 40054 There are a _lot_ of files prefixed with "heldmsg-" in the data directory, as you can see. There are entries all the way back to 2005, in fact! I realize that I'm going to have to deal … [View More]

by Shams Fantar May 1, 2008

May 1, 2008

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm installing mailman, I created the first mailing list[1], it works fine. So, it's possible to subcribe to the list, that works, but it isn't possible to send mails to the mailing list. It's a probleme with sendmail, I'm reading the documentation of mailman[2], but the output of the command "grep smrsh /etc/mail/sendmail.cf" is empty (sendmail is installed). Do you have any ideas? And when I send a mail to the list, I see nothing in log... … [View More]
