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 list sends but doesn't receive mail.
by JRC Groups May 10, 2011

May 10, 2011

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 … [View More]

owner alias bounces
by Florian Effenberger Jan. 23, 2011

Jan. 23, 2011

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 … [View More]

Pruning archived messages
by Rick Morrison Jan. 3, 2011

Jan. 3, 2011

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

Archives heading without domain name
by Danny hendrawan Dec. 31, 2010

Dec. 31, 2010

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.

Dec. 31, 2010

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?

Not sending to list members
by certuspersonality Dec. 31, 2010

Dec. 31, 2010

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

Administrative actions extremely slow
by Brian J Mingus Dec. 30, 2010

Dec. 30, 2010

I am moderating a list with 4200 members. Clicking on any link is extremely slow. I have asked that our server be upgraded, but I was told that the problem is with the mailman software. They claim that every time I try to perform any action mailman scans through every user. I have no ability to verify the validity of this claim as I don't have access to the server. I desperately need a fix to this problem. I just clicked on the link to the admin interface and it took 19 seconds. That's partly … [View More]

duplication question
by Mark Prewitt Dec. 29, 2010

Dec. 29, 2010

Good Day, I am having an issue which I need to figure out. One of the issues we are struggling with as we use Mailman to handle some internal traffic lists for our company is that we have some people with more than 1 email account. When some employees are sent an email and the list is cc'd, they are getting 2 copies of the email. Even though both the TO and the list subscription email account are the same. So if I send an email to 'joe(a)teris.com' and he is on the 'list(a)teris.com' and it … [View More]

Dec. 29, 2010

I have set up Mailman and Postfix, following the instructions to the letter, and although Mailman will send out email fine, when I, as the administrator, try to send my email to the list I have created, I get the following error: Response: 450 Host down (myserver.mydomain.org). I am quite new to this and am not a Mailman or Postfix expert by any means, but if someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

Changing Default Options for New Lists
by Fred Atkinson, WB4AEJ Dec. 27, 2010

Dec. 27, 2010

I am running a Web site that is providing free mailing lists for certain types of organizations. It uses Mailman 2.1.13. I want to simplify list creation for new moderators. I have a desired way by which these lists are to be set up and I want them to be created with these options when a new list is created rather than the way they are configured now. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Regards, Fred

Duplicate Emails to Members of Two Lists
by David Cunningham Dec. 21, 2010

Dec. 21, 2010

Hi All, I have a problem where users are listed on two separate lists, then the same email is sent to both lists, and they get two copies. For example, joe(a)test.com is on lists test1(a)lists.test.com and test2(a)lists.test.com. Dan(a)test.com sends an email to both test1(a)lists.test.com and test2(a)lists.test.com. So, joe(a)test.com get's two copies of the same email, one from each list. I know that the "nodupes" feature is only designed to stop duplicates in the event that a … [View More]

Removing root from receiving bounces
by Rohler, Brian L Dec. 21, 2010

Dec. 21, 2010

My current setup is that we have a list of admins who administer our mailing lists. The problem I am having is there is also a list of users who receive email from a support@ address. The list of support@ users are getting tired of receiving EVERY bounced message that comes in. I don't mind the mailman list administrators receiving the bounces but I don't want my support@ users getting these bounce messages. How do I turn this off?
