Configuration Question: Regarding mailfilter based email addresses
by David Walker Aug. 26, 2009

Aug. 26, 2009

Sorry if the subject is not quite clear, but I have a question on configuring mailman. I set up a list for a group I'm apart of, and one person uses easier to filter on email addresses. I guess I'll jump to the example it'll make sense then Suppose I had an email: person(a)world.com However, for the purpose of mailman-users list I want to register my email as: person+mmusers(a)world.com <person%2Bmmusers(a)world.com> As we all (or at least most may) know, the +tag format described … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] won't let me edit the HTML
by Bill Catambay Aug. 25, 2009

I have an update on this. I was trying to pinpoint exactly what "change" caused this, and as I deleted changes, starting with the link, I still kept getting the same rejection. Then I just went to edit the page, and made no changes at all, clicked on Submit Changes, and it *still* gave me the rejection. Am I missing something?

won't let me edit the HTML
by Bill Catambay Aug. 25, 2009

Aug. 25, 2009

I am trying to customize our Options page, and I want to add links to our main website within the page (really the only changes I am making). When I try to save, I get: "The page you saved contains suspicious HTML that could potentially expose your users to cross-site scripting attacks. This change has therefore been rejected. If you still want to make these changes, you must have shell access to your Mailman server." Cross-site scripting attacks from a simple link? I'm feeling the … [View More]

Mailman not automatically updating its aliases file
by Mark Ratcliff Aug. 24, 2009

Aug. 24, 2009

Hi, I was recently tasked with setting up a new mailman server. We installed mm2.1.9 via yum on a RHEL5.3 server with postfix installed. varprefix=/var/lib/mailman and prefix =/usr/lib/mailman. This is what I have for custom lines in my mm_cfg.py: DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mm server name' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mm server name' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) MTA = 'Postfix' VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = 0 OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = 1 My problem is that whenever I … [View More]

Getting info about bounces
by Bernie Cosell Aug. 24, 2009

Aug. 24, 2009

How can I figure out *WHY* a particular user's email is bouncing? A member on one list, with whom I've exchanged email without a problem [and who successfully received the "Your membership in the mailing list has been disabled due to excessive bounces" messages [which, of course, didn't bounce..:o)] So the question arises: why did mailman think there were excessive bounces? Is there some log or something that would include the 'reason' info that the SMTP server sent back so I and the … [View More]

Reply-to munging depending on sender subscriber status?
by David Reitter Aug. 21, 2009

Aug. 21, 2009

Is it possible to configure Mailman to set the Reply-To header of a message depending on whether the sender is subscribed to the mailing list? Rationale: For an open mailing list set up to receive bug reports from users, I would like to set - Reply-To = sender, mailing-list if the sender is not a subscriber - Reply-To = mailing-list if the sender is a subscriber I've had a complaint from one of my collaborators that he couldn't filter messages correctly when they were sent … [View More]

Preventing postings with no Subject:?
by Thomas Gramstad Aug. 21, 2009

Aug. 21, 2009

How can I prevent postings with no Subject: from being distributed via a Mailman mailing list? Ideally there would be a way to automatically reject the posting and return it to the sender and ask them to post it again with a Subject:-line. Or at least a way to have Subject:-less postings placed in the moderation queue. Thomas Gramstad thomas(a)ifi.uio.no

Bounce processing
by Ian Gray Aug. 21, 2009

Aug. 21, 2009

Hello. Please be kind to me, although I have used mailman on a personal level for some years, I have only used Mailman as offered free from our web host. I no nothing about python and have got confused by some of the technical language used in the archive. I can only edit Mailman through the admin interface as it has been offered from my host (probably on a shared server) One of our clients wanted us to give him 4 mailing lists along side the website we built for him. I made 2 into announce … [View More]

Red Hat RPM install
by Hicks, Robert CTR Aug. 21, 2009

Aug. 21, 2009

I am moving a list to a new server. I have installed everything and I am going through the Exim part of the installation manual. For a RH install, do I still need to setup the mailman_router and mailman_transport or does RH assume I will be using the /etc/aliases way (which is how the setup I am moving away from works)? There are other quirky differences between the install manual and what RH did with theirs but this is the only one I have questions about. Thanks for any information you can give. Bob H.
