Remove / Strip Sender Signature Question
by Artabase March 17, 2010

March 17, 2010

Hi All I searched archives and checked faq but couldn't find this, apologies if I'm keyword 'tarded this morning. Is it possible to strip the Sender Signature? Our lists are subscribed to some other lists, and we're having problems with members unsubscribing us from those lists instead of unsubbing from ours. Thanks in advance, any help appreciated, moose

Sendmail mm-handler deployment.
by Mike Mestnik March 16, 2010

March 16, 2010

Hello, I'd like to share with every one that I just deployed mailman using the contributed mm-handler and that I had some issues working with the default sendmail configuration that I plan to bring to the sendmail developers. If there are any other comments or questions on this configuration I'd be glad to hear them. This configuration does work for me. -- Mike Mestnik Technical Team ___ Nagios Enterprises, LLC Email: mmestnik(a)nagios.com Web: www.nagios.com

available lists in a single page
by Lucio Crusca March 16, 2010

March 16, 2010

Hello *, my mailman hosts 8 lists, but only 6 are shown in this available lists page: http://vps.virtual-bit.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo One of the missing two shows up here: http://lists.virtual-bit.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo and the last one is here http://sulweb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo Those 3 names are CNAMEs for the same server. Is there a way to have all of the lists managed by the same mailman shown in a single page?

Best Mail Program to Use w/ Mailman
by Beyer, Clay March 16, 2010

March 16, 2010

We are setting up a Debian web server and would like to use Mailman to manage a couple of mailing lists that we control. After some initial complications with Mailman and Postfix we decided to uninstall and reinstall everything, before we get going again, I just wanted to get an idea of what the best mail program, taken from the Mailman Documentation, to use with Mailman... Postfix, Qmail, Exim, or Sendmail.

When I email to the lists that I moved over I'm getting this in the sender address: listname(a)mailman2.rmtc.fedex.com rather than listname(a)mailman.rmtc.fedex.com. I tried doing the withlist -l -r fix_url listname but that didn't seem to have an effect? I also tried withlist -l -a -r fix_url which seemed to run pretty quick considering all the lists and the time it took to do just one so I don't know if I ran it right?

by Lucio Crusca March 15, 2010

March 15, 2010

Hello everybody, I'm new here, hope not posting dumb questions. I've a mailman/debian lenny running a few lists. For some of those lists I don't receive the moderator notifications from mailman, such as when there's a pending message to accept or reject. Other lists on the same server with the same moderator address configured do work instead. Can you help me track down the problem please? Thanks in advace Lucio.

The configuration for exim has remained, as has the configuration for mailman. This *was* working, but is not after the update.

migrated lists getting firefox error, and new name not original list name
by Troy Campbell March 15, 2010

March 15, 2010

Hello, I just migrated some lists from a server called mailman.rmtc.fedex.com to a new server called mailman2.rmtc.fedex.com (both running 2.1.9) and configuring things to try to keep the lists the original @mailman.rmtc.fedex.com name and I'm running into two issues. First I've started getting the following error in firefox on Mailman pages where I try to add a user or create a list using the web pages: "Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party. Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?" Then when I hit "Continue" nothing happens, it's like I hit "Cancel". The workaround is to use the command line to do the function (such as add a member). I modified this in mm_cfg.py on mailman2 (after migrating) to: fqdn = 'mailman.rmtc.fedex.com' so as to have everything stay @mailman.rmtc.fedex.com in the name. Also I'm rewriting http to https URLs however I was doing that on the original server and not getting this error. After creating a newlist I see this: # withlist -l troytest Loading list troytest (locked) The variable `m' is the troytest MailList instance >>> m.getListAddress('admin') 'troytest-admin(a)mailman.rmtc.fedex.com' >>> m.getListAddress() 'troytest(a)mailman.rmtc.fedex.com' which seems to be what I want (not mailman2...). I was going to try running the withlist...fix_url command on all the lists I brought over but thought I should wait/see as the issue seems to be related more to the "fqdn" not taking effect? Secondly when I send an email using a test list I also get @mailman2.rmtc.fedex.com as the email address rather than @mailman.rmtc.fedex.com? Any help with either issue appreciated! Troy

Mailman Error
by Gordon Smith March 14, 2010

March 14, 2010

Hi Really sorry to bother you guys; I'm sure you're busy with lots of development issues. I'm just hoping you might be able to help with a problem with our Mailman configuration, even though it's not standard Mailman. We're running Mailman under Mac OSX Server 10.6.2. For the most part, it runs incredibly well and I'm more than happy with it. However, we're having a problem which nobody seems to be able to resolve and we cannot find out from anybody at Apple how to fix. We have a mailing list configured which, at one time, was set to require confirmation and approval on subscriptions. We changed that policy to just 'confirm', but it seems that when we made the change, a pending confirmation was waiting to be processed. Now, we're getting admin messages to the moderator and list owner's address daily telling us that this confirmation is outstanding. When we try clicking on the link and tending to the request by selecting reject, we get the message: "We hit a bug! Please inform the webmaster and look in the error log", or words to that effect. However, there doesn't seem to be anything in the err file pertaining to this. So what I'm asking is whether there is a way to clear this, as it must be cached somewhere I think. Also, subsequent subscription requests from the email address concerned are being ignored by Mailman which, I think, is part of the same problem. Thanks in advance, and may I just say also thanks for producing such an accessible web-based list manager. We use screen-readers to interface with our computers and MailMan is very user-friendly from our point of view. Descriptions for everything, very well written and explained interactive help. Great job. Gordon

3rd party email unsubscribe request fails
by Michael Belanger March 13, 2010

March 13, 2010

Folks, I have recently set up Mailman version 2.1.13. Everything works as expected except for the email form I use on my website to unsubscribe folks. It takes and email address submission and composes an email to listname-request(a)listserv.mydomain.org with body of: unsubscribe address=submitted(a)email.adr end apache gets an email response from mailman as follows: ... The results of your email command are provided below. Attached is your original message. - Results: Usage: unsubscribe [password] [address=<address>] Unsubscribe from the mailing list. If given, your password must match your current password. If omitted, a confirmation email will be sent to the unsubscribing address. If you wish to unsubscribe an address other than the address you sent this request from, you may specify `address=<address>' (no brackets around the email address, and no quotes!) - Unprocessed: unsubscribe address=example(a)yahoo.com end - Done. I have a similar form for subscribe requests that works as expected. my webserver sends the requests as apache(a)mydomain.org. It is not an admin, moderator, or list member of the list I am trying to modify. Is there something wrong with apache(a)mydomain.org sending the unsubscribe request? As I understand it, if the request is sent w/o password, the user must confirm the request -- which is exactly what I want.
