July 21, 2008

Hello, I went big including hundreds of my members with mailman. THought everything was working, but not so. By default -automatic bounce processing is enabled and I found that it had checked 'nomail' [B] for several members eventhough they had a valid email ID Setting was at5.0. Then from admin interface I changed to 'mailman automatic procesing - No". Also unchecked all the members who had 'nomail' [B]. This should rectify all users to get mails again. Unfortunately, when a new message was … [View More]

how to address bounceback spam?
by Ali, Saqib July 21, 2008

July 21, 2008

bounceback spam is becoming a problem for me. spammers use the some email random email addresses in the From/ReplyTo field and spam my mailman subscription address @ fde-subscribe(a)www.xml-dev.com. This causes "unknown command" bounceback to some innocent email user who never sent any emails to fde-subscribe(a)www.xml-dev.com how can I address this problem? The IP block owner for my servers wants a resolution ASAP. saqib http://doctrina.wordpress.com/

Users get email, but admin messages are not sent
by Russell Horn July 21, 2008

July 21, 2008

Hi, I migrated my mailman installation to a new server. I had some initial teething trouble updating the list URLs but that's taken care of. All my lists work with regards to the web interface, adding/removing members and sending posts to the list. What does not work, however, is admin emails. Messages regarding pending subscription requests, posts needing moderator approval etc, they never even make it to postfix. The mailman smtp log doesn't show anything other than list posts. The error … [View More]

Message stuck in <list>.mbox after archive re-installation
by Roger Price July 20, 2008

July 20, 2008

My apologies in advance for such a noob question. I run mailman on opensuse and I've just upgraded to opensuse 11.0 which provides mailman 2.1.9, postfix 2.5.1 and apache2 2.2.8. Before the upgrade, I saved the archives of my club's slow moving mailing list. I ran cp -a <mailman>/archives/private/club <safe-place>/archives/private/club cp -a <mailman>/lists/club <safe-place>/lists/club based on the mv's in http://wiki.list.org/viewpage.action?pageId=… [View More]

Mailman rpm in opensuse 11.0 clobbers postfix administration
by Roger Price July 20, 2008

July 20, 2008

The installation of the mailman rpm included in opensuse 11.0 may lead to later problems with postfix administration. This note explains how to avoid those problems. The distribution opensuse 11.0 contain a package which installs mailman 2.1.9. The package contains an essential README: /usr/share/doc/packages/mailman/README.SuSE which explains how to set up mailman. Amongst the instructions is 3) Add /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases to the alias_maps statement in /etc/postfix/main.cf:… [View More]
