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]

by Paul Key Sept. 7, 2010

Sept. 7, 2010

When authorizing a moderated list posting is it possible to change the date/time on the outgoing authorized list message to the time it was approved instead of the message showing the time it was first received by mailman? Thanks Paul

Where is the template for monthly password reminders?
by Michael R Boudreau July 21, 2010

July 21, 2010

Where can I find the template for the monthly password reminder email? I'd like to modify it so that it doesn't contain the password (our members object to this being sent unbidden in plain text), and so that it reminds users to make sure their subscription address matches the address from which they currently send email (ideally with a link to their personal options page so they can update). -- Michael R.

Uncaught runner exception: regular_exclude_lists
by Adam Nielsen June 2, 2010

June 2, 2010

Hi all, I've followed the FAQ to move some lists across to a new server, but now on the new machine any message posted to a list gets passed to Mailman and then disappears. The Mailman error log says this: Sep 24 10:34:18 2009 (5311) Uncaught runner exception: regular_exclude_lists Sep 24 10:34:18 2009 (5311) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 120, in _oneloop File "/usr/lib64/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 191, in _onefile … [View More]

Mailman + Postfix + Virtual Maps = initial mailman list works but new lists don't
by Aaron Couch June 1, 2010

June 1, 2010

*in short: *i can get mailman to work with the 'mailman' list but not with subsequently added lists. * disclaimer:* I've searched long and hard for an answer to this, including the archives of this mailing list. There were similar threads but none of the solutions solved this problem including: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg55226.html and http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/msg55226.html and http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/… [View More]msg54930.html *versions:* ubuntu 9.04 mailman 2.1.12 postfix 2.5.5 *what works:* postfix virtual domains with mysql work fine. mailman with apache works fine. i'm able to create new lists and the alias and virtual-mailman files are updated. I receive the proper "you've been added" emails. the initial mailman(a)mydomain.org list and email works. i am able to send and receive email and add new users. *what doesn't work:* any lists added after the inital 'mailman' list fails. it is added through the web interface and added to the alias and virtual mailman files. the new users get the "you've been added email". however any emails sent to that list, let's call it pleasework(a)mydomain.org, fail. *the logs:* here is what the mail.log file says for emails that fail to pleasework(a)mydomain.org: May 29 20:13:44 servername postfix/virtual[12598]: 4936C5CB9F: to=< pleasework(a)mydomain.org>, relay=virtual, delay=888, delays=888/0.05/0/0.01, dsn=4.1.1, status=SOFTBOUNCE (unknown user: "pleasework(a)mydomain.org") here is a successful log message to mailmain(a)mydomain.org: May 30 16:15:15 servername postfix/pipe[31452]: 51F265CBCB: to=< mailman(a)lists.mydomain.org>, orig_to=<mailman(a)mydomain.org>, relay=mailman, delay=0.66, delays=0.25/0.01/0/0.4, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via mailman service) *uninformed analysis:* it seems like the mailman-virtual map isn't working. i've tried changing the permissions in the mailmain-virtual file in case that was an issue but to no avail. again the 'pleasework' list does show up in it and the alias file as well: # LOOP ADDRESSES START mailman-loop(a)mydomain.org mailman-loop # LOOP ADDRESSES END # STANZA START: awesome # CREATED: Sun May 30 17:25:53 2010 pleasework(a)mydomain.org pleasework I have had a hickup when trying to regenerate the alias files. The bin/genaliases file had the following errors: Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/genaliases", line 116, in <module> main() File "bin/genaliases", line 83, in main modulename = 'Mailman.MTA.' + mm_cfg.MTA TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects In my mm_cfg I had MTA=None which is recommended when using the '/usr/share/mailman/postfix-to-mailman.py'. I tried changing it to MTA="" but still got an error. It succeeded when I just removed the MTA variable. It says to add the list info to the /etc/aliases file and use the newaliases command but in my main.cf file I have the mailman aliases file added to the alias_maps variable (see below) so I would think that shouldn't be an issue. *my setup:* mm_cfg.py file: MAILMAN_SITE_LIST = 'mailman' DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/' PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL = '/cgi-bin/mailman/private' IMAGE_LOGOS = '/images/mailman/' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mydomain.org' DEB_LISTMASTER = 'listmaster(a)mydomain.org' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.mydomain.org' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) add_virtualhost('lists.mediamobilizingproject.org', ' lists.mediamobilizingproject.org') DEFAULT_SERVER_LANGUAGE = 'en' USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER = 0 DEFAULT_SEND_REMINDERS = 0 postconf -n : alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases append_dot_mydomain = no biff = no broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes config_directory = /etc/postfix delay_warning_time = 4h disable_vrfy_command = yes inet_interfaces = all mailbox_size_limit = 0 masquerade_domains = mail.mydomain.org masquerade_exceptions = root mydestination = mediamoblizing.org, localhost.mydomain.org, , localhost myhostname = servername.mydomain.org mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 myorigin = mydomain.org readme_directory = no recipient_delimiter = + relay_domains = lists.mydomain.org, lists.mediamobilizingproject.org relay_recipient_maps = hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman relayhost = smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu) smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_invalid_hostname, permit smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unauth_pipelining, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname smtpd_sasl_path = private/dovecot-auth smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-mail.pem smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/ssl-mail.key smtpd_tls_mandatory_ciphers = medium, high smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = SSLv3, TLSv1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache smtpd_use_tls = yes soft_bounce = yes tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport unknown_address_reject_code = 554 unknown_client_reject_code = 554 unknown_hostname_reject_code = 554 virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/my_alias_maps.cf, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman virtual_gid_maps = static:8 virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail virtual_mailbox_domains = mydomain.org virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/my_mailbox_maps.cf virtual_minimum_uid = 150 virtual_transport = virtual virtual_uid_maps = static:150 Thanks for any assistance you can offer! best, -Aaron [View Less]
