Bounce processing not working
by Lindsay Haisley Aug. 13, 2009

Aug. 13, 2009

I have a list (several lists, actually) running on Mailman 2.1.11 and it looks as if bounce processing is broken. On the list in question, the following are set: bounce_processing = Yes bounce_score_threshold = 1.0 bounce_info_stale_after = 1 bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings = 0 bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval = 7 /var/lib/mailman/logs/bounce shows many entry lines of this form, in sets of 3 as shown below: Aug 11 12:35:24 2009 (19017) listname: user(a)hotmail.com bounce score: 1.… [View More]

Postfix vdomains with multiple instances of mailman
by Jeffrey Goldberg Aug. 12, 2009

Aug. 12, 2009

In trying to get things like pta-board(a)one-domain.example and pta-board(a)second-domain.example to be distinct lists on a site that is hosting both of those domains, I attempted to install multiple instances of Mailman on the same host. That is advice that I saw somewhere on this list. Unfortunately, it is still not working for me. From the web end of things it is actually working fine. Within the virtual domains in the Apache configuration file for each domain, I … [View More]point to their respective (and distinct) mailman installations. But I am still having problems separating these as far as Postfix is concerned. For one mailman instance, I will have in /usr/local/mailman/vhosts/lists.wilson-pta.org/data/virtual-domains # STANZA START: pta-board # CREATED: Wed Aug 12 17:17:42 2009 pta-board(a)lists.wilson-pta.org pta-board pta-board-admin(a)lists.wilson-pta.org pta-board-admin pta-board-bounces(a)lists.wilson-pta.org pta-board-bounces pta-board-confirm(a)lists.wilson-pta.org pta-board-confirm pta-board-join(a)lists.wilson-pta.org pta-board-join etc. And in /usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-domain # STANZA START: pta-board # CREATED: Fri Mar 30 14:20:25 2007 pta-board(a)lists.shepard-families.org pta-board pta-board-admin(a)lists.shepard-families.org pta-board-admin pta-board-bounces(a)lists.shepard-families.org pta-board-bounces pta-board-confirm(a)lists.shepard-families.org pta-board-confirm pta-board-join(a)lists.shepard-families.org pta-board-join etc. The problem is that right hand side of those, something like pta-board-confirm with no domain at all, should sometimes go to the alias defined in /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases which says pta-board-bounces: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces pta-board" But at other times, it should get delivered to the alias specified in /usr/local/mailman/vhosts/lists.wilson-pta.org/data/aliases which says pta-board-confirm: "|/usr/local/mailman/vhosts/lists.wilson- pta.org/mail/mailman confirm pta-board" Anyway, in my set up, it's always going to the first one first (which is listed earlier in postfix/main.cf) Both these aliases files and both virtual-domains files are generated by Mailman. So I don't see where I have scope to fix things. I would like to know how people who have run multiple instances of mailman have managed to keep lists in different namespaces.

Multiple instances of Mailman on FreeBSD
by Jeffrey Goldberg Aug. 12, 2009

Aug. 12, 2009

I'm posting this to both the mailman-users list and the freebsd-ports list. I realize that not all follow-up will make it to both lists. I would like to set up multiple instances of Mailman on a FreeBSD 7- STABLE system with using Postfix. Looking at the ports Makefile, it appears that if I set MM_DIR=mailman/vhosts/domain-for-this-instance everything should work file (plus add FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER allow this second instance to be installed.) But when I do % cd /usr/ports/mail/… [View More]

How do I kill a message in the middle of being distributed?
by J.A. Terranson Aug. 12, 2009

Aug. 12, 2009

I just had someone post a few dozen 5mb files - since thats the list max size (not that anyone's ever sent even ONE of those before!) - and everything is clogged. I want to clear *everything* and just come up empty. I cant find this in the wiki. Thanks! -- Yours, J.A.

Users' names on roster page
by Eric Shubert Aug. 12, 2009

Aug. 12, 2009

I would like to see the users' names (which I know are optional) on the List Subscribers page (http://domain/mailman/roster/list). Is there an option for this that I missed, or would it require a program change? TIA -- -Eric 'shubes'

List Question - who can send to the list
by Magann Orth Aug. 9, 2009

Aug. 9, 2009

Is there a way to make the list only allow people who are on the list to send to the list? Also, how do you change the default "reply to" the list moderator? Magann Orth
