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

Hi, I received the following error this morning. So I rerun configure again with the following command: ./configure --with-cgi-id=apache --prefix=/var/mailman. I'm still getting the same error. Is there any place that I can look for so that I can debug this problem better? Perhaps, looking at the config history file or something. Any other places that I can check the cause of this error?

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]

Mailman - trouble creating a second list at an existing virtual host
by Dean Suhr Nov. 30, 2010

Nov. 30, 2010

I have a Virtual Alias error problem on my Mac running OSX Server 10.4.6. I realize that is not a completely typical Mailman install, but I think the problem is Postfix to Mailman related more on the Postfix side. I have a Mailman list working (for months) ... discuss at lists.MLDfamily.org. I've just created a new list ... discuss-adults at lists.MLDfamily.org. The web interface works fine for the new list and it shows lists.MLDfamily.org as its host_name. http://lists.mldfamily.org/… [View More]mailman/admin/discuss-adults Both lists show up when I run the following command: /usr/share/mailman/bin/list_lists -V lists.MLDfamily.org But deliveries to the Postfix mail server nets me this error on my local server (i.e. the email is making it fine to my server): Nov 28 11:44:11 darcee postfix/smtpd11450 <http://discussions.apple.com/> : NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-pv0-f170.google.comhttp://74.125.83.170: 550 5.1.1 <discuss-adults(a)lists.mldfamily.org>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table; from=<deansuhr(a)deansuhr.us> to=<discuss-adults(a)lists.mldfamily.org> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-pv0-f170.google.com> Deliveries to the initial discuss list at this virtual domain continue to work but discuss-adults give the virtual alias table error. What do I need to do to get this new list into the virtual domain table? I am thinking I am overlooking the obvious - your help is appreciated. I will respond with more config info if it¹s necessary. Thanks in advance, Dean -- FWIW, this is the process I used to create the list: (did not need to create the virtual domain since it already existed) Stopped the mail server using server admin sudo /usr/share/mailman/bin/rmlist -a discuss-adults (to remove all residual old list stuff) sudo /usr/share/mailman/bin/newlist discuss-adults sudo /usr/share/mailman/bin/list_lists new list showed up sudo /usr/share/mailman/bin/list_lists -V lists.MLDfamily.org new list did not show up sudo /usr/share/mailman/bin/withlist -l -r fix_url discuss-adults -u lists.MLDfamily.org sudo /usr/share/mailman/bin/list_lists -V lists.MLDfamily.org new list now shows up at the proper virtual domain sudo /usr/share/mailman/bin/genaliases sudo postfix reload failed since mail server was stopped started mail server using server admin To confirm the updates of the virtual alias table I did the following: ls -l /var/mailman/data aliases, aliases.db, virtual-mailman, & virtual-mailman.db all were time stamped the last few minutes Looking inside aliases and virtual-mailman conformed the proper entries. Aliases and virtual-mailman both contained the following stanzas (in addition to others): ~~ # STANZA START: discuss # CREATED: Sun Nov 28 11:39:09 2010 discuss: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman post discuss" discuss-admin: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman admin discuss" discuss-bounces: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman bounces discuss" discuss-confirm: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman confirm discuss" discuss-join: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman join discuss" discuss-leave: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman leave discuss" discuss-owner: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman owner discuss" discuss-request: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman request discuss" discuss-subscribe: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe discuss" discuss-unsubscribe: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe discuss" # STANZA END: discuss ~~ # STANZA START: discuss-adults # CREATED: Sun Nov 28 11:39:10 2010 discuss-adults: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman post discuss-adults" discuss-adults-admin: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman admin discuss-adults" discuss-adults-bounces: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman bounces discuss-adults" discuss-adults-confirm: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman confirm discuss-adults" discuss-adults-join: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman join discuss-adults" discuss-adults-leave: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman leave discuss-adults" discuss-adults-owner: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman owner discuss-adults" discuss-adults-request: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman request discuss-adults" discuss-adults-subscribe: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe discuss-adults" discuss-adults-unsubscribe: "|/usr/share/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe discuss-adults" # STANZA END: discuss-adults [View Less]

text/plain flowed wrapping
by Steve Foster Nov. 30, 2010

Nov. 30, 2010

HI Folks, I'm trying to track down where a spurious "!" is being injected into a number of lines in a text/plain message that is being wrapped at about 990 chars. The "!" doesn't appear in the copy in the archive, just the email that is sent out. I've been lookin in the code in pythonlib/email and pythonlib/smtplib but can't see anything glaring. The only mention of RFC3676 is in Handler/Scrubber which appears to be the relevant RFC. Anythoughts?
