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!

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?
"Mailman CGI error!!!
The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored in your syslog:
Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the CGI
wrapper script to be executed as group "nobody", but
the system's web server executed the CGI script as
group "apache". Try tweaking the web server to run the
script as group "nobody", or re-run configure,
providing the command line option `--with-cgi-gid=apache'."
Thanks

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 Non-Digest Options... and new subscribers continue to come in as
plain text.
QUESTIONS:
In order to avoid having to manually change this option for each
existing subscriber, is there a way to force all existing subscribers to
receive MIME in Non-Digest mode?
If not, is there a way to force all NEW subscribers to be enrolled with
MIME as their default?
Also, is there a way to "lock" the MIME switch on, so that users who try
to change their option to plain text will be prevented from doing so?
Thanks -
Steve
Hello, All.
I've just set up my first Mailman mailing list in OS X Server. It sends mail
as welcome notifications were received by several different members
subscribed to the mailing list. However, it doesn't seem to be receiving
e-mail. All attempts I've made have resulted in Delivery Failure
Notifications.
This is the text returned with this Delivery Failure Notifications:
> Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
>
> list(a)3domain.com
>
> Technical details of permanent failure:
> Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient
> domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further
> information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server
> returned was: 550 550 5.1.1 <list(a)domain.com>: Recipient address rejected:
> User unknown in virtual alias table (state 14).
What could be the cause ?
In order for a Mailman list to work properly do I need to create an account
for it in Workgroup Manager with its e-mail address ?
Sorry if this is a simple question but I am not an IT specialist and don't
have any experience with Mailman.
Thank you in advance,
Joe
Hello,
on all my mailing lists, I have the problem that mails to the -owner
alias seem to bounce. The sender doesn't receive a bounce, but the
list owners don't receive the e-mail -- instead, failures are logged
in mailman's bounce log. The owners are the same as the subscribers
(it's an internal list), and mails to the list reach these
destinations itself, so it can't be a general problem. The receipients
are within and outside of our domain.
I'm a bit clueless and can't find much in the logs. Any idea where to
start searching?
Thanks,
Florian
Hi,
I created a list from the admin interface, not from CLI. I administator of
that list do not get the list creation notification & I found these messages
in /var/log/mailman/smtp-failure

What should I do next so I can send and receive email to this list (test02)?
I've been asked to restrict our group's Mailman list to showing only the
last six months of archives. Is there any way to remove archived messages
older than a certain date and reflect that removal in the archive header's
"index.html" file?
Thanks,
Rick
Hi Mark and All,
I set my archives list to 'private' mainly to protect email addresses of
members being disclosed on the heading. I've set my heading to replace '@'
with 'at' but still this can be easilly taken by anyone. i.e. 'john at
domain.com'
How to set the headings as per your Searchable Archives:
http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ ? i.e. only shows
member's name with domain name
Happy New New Year.
Regards,
Danny
Hi all,
I'm a little confused about how the mailman web interface works, since
it doesn't use normal vhost conf files...
How would I go about specifying a different IP:port for the mailman web
interface?
Currently, in /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/50_mailman.conf I have:
ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /pipermail/ "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/"
<Directory "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
But I'd like to specify a redirect to a specific URL, namely:
https://lists.example.com:#####
Where/how do I go about doing this?
Thanks,
Charles
I have sent a email message to an email list of which I am the
administrator and also on the member list, received the email
requesting approval for publication, gave that approval, and then the
email message was sent to me (info(a)certuspersonality.com) as the
original supplier of the message, the number of times that equals the
number of members in the email list. It did not go to the list
members (except for me).
Which setting do I probably have wrong in Mailman?
Help greatly appreciated,
Herward Hencke
