Mailman 2.1.9 - Fedora 8 - upgrade
by Dragos Leahu Feb. 14, 2009

Feb. 14, 2009

Hi, I am running Mailman - mailman-2.1.9-8.2.fc8 (updated) from the distribution - on Fedora 8 (up-to-date), with Sendmail - sendmail-8.14.2-1.fc8. 1. Which is the best way to upgrade Mailman to a newer version (the latest if possible) without taking any risk? 2. Another issue: even if I have set Mailman (for a certain list) to receive messages only from the list's members and to automatically discard any other messages (to that list) there still are a very few (2 or 3 in a couple of … [View More]

A few configuration questions
by Jeff Grossman Feb. 13, 2009

Feb. 13, 2009

I just moved over to Mailman from a program called LetterRip Pro on the Macintosh. The main reason I moved over was because of the poor bounce management in LetterRip. I have a few questions about setup and usage that I am hoping somebody can help me out with. I am running 5 announcement/newsletter style lists. Moderation is turned on because I don't want anybody to send posts to the lists except for a few people in my company. The lists names are: Fishads Fishads-Text Huntads … [View More]

I have the same settings as the person in: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg35000.html I am not receiving a copy of messages I send to a list.

Removing Email Address From Archives
by shustak Feb. 12, 2009

Feb. 12, 2009

I would like to either remove the posters email address from the archives or replace it with the text "reply". So far my investigation of how to achieve this kind of email address removal resulted in the following : http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg46398.html > There is no option or setting to do this. You would have to modify the > code in Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py. Is this still the case? If editing this file is the best way to go about this, has … [View More]

DomainKey problem with Mailman
by Lindsay Haisley Feb. 12, 2009

Feb. 12, 2009

One of the subscribers to a list I host (Jack McKinney) has been having a problem with inbound mail from the list getting rejected by his mail server. He's tracked it down to a problem with the Sender header field, which gets re-written by Mailman to the VERP address of the list bounce processor containing the recipient's address. This triggers a rejection by libdomainkeys. RFC 2822 states as follows: The "Sender:" field specifies the mailbox of the agent responsible for the actual … [View More]

spam to -owner addresses
by Cristóbal Palmer Feb. 12, 2009

Feb. 12, 2009

Hi folks, I'm seeing a spike in spam to -owner addresses on the two hosts I administer. I'm hoping people can help me change site-wide settings so that I don't get messages (to -owner addresses) that start something like: Spam detection software, running on the system "mailman.example.org", has identified this incoming email as possible spam. The original message has been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label similar future email. If you have any questions,… [View More]

Feb. 11, 2009

Hi all. As my server is getting bocked in hotmail and yahoo, the pickled file bounce-events grows mega-fast and quickly fills-up the partition. Can Mailman be configured to "stop writing after some size", or will i have to doit with some sort of Linux quota system? Thanks! Gerardo

Thank you Mark, That worked flawlessly. The list members will appreciate seeing all the archive history.
