Running two list with same email prefix
by Andrea Cappelli 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

Hi all, I'm running a mail server with Debian Lenny, MTA is Postfix and i will use postfix-to-mailma.py script to run list I would set up Mailman for running mailing list with same email prefix on different domains, obvious with different list names For example we have ml.domain1.com and ml.domain2.net, i would like to have LISTADDRESS LISTNAME tech(a)ml.domain1.com tech-ml.domain1.com tech(a)ml.domain.2.net tech-ml.domain2.net In this way i can have the same address on differente domains and Mailman (my version is 2.1.11) can distinguish between lists because the list name is different. The list name will be also used to access web interface, so we have http://ml.domain1.com/mailman/admin/tech-ml.domain1.com http://ml.domain2.net/mailman/admin/tech-ml.domain2.net Is possible to accomplish this task? Any idea?

Hide list address?
by Ricardo Kleemann 17 Nov '23

17 Nov '23

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 17 Feb '21

17 Feb '21

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

Mailman CGI Error-Group mismatch error
by Wang, Mary Y 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

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 Mary

Setting MIME as default for new Non-Digest subscribers
by Steve Reiter 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

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

Changing the received time on an outgoing authorized email message?
by Paul Key 08 Sep '10

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 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

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.

Hello, I have a problem with a user of a list that I create. She receive all the list emails but she can't send emails. She recive this error response: Remote host said: 554 <chile-datos(a)mail.degu.cl>: Relay access denied I think that is strange because other users have no problems sending emails to the list. -- Regards, Daniel H.

allow non-subscribed users to send email
by Umarzuki Mochlis 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

I know this is so not what mailing list admin normally should allow but it has been asked for and the one asked worries more about complains such as "why this person do not have permission to send to this list" etc. Anyway, how do i allow anyone valid mail address to a list? -- Regards, Umarzuki Mochlis http://debmal.my

Few questions and details
by Joni Töyrylä 01 Jul '10

Hey Mailman postlist subscripers! I did some minor tweaking on 2.1.13 Mailman as well as went through most of the Finnish translations. Im not sure should i post this to anywhere but Here is minor changes to code: 1) Mailman/HTMLFormatter.py:402: '<mm-host>' : Utils.get_domain() --- To get correct mm_cfg.DEFAULT_URL_HOST instead of server hostname, for some reason MailList.InitVars() is either not ran yet or variables has been overwritten? Im not sure why mm_cfg.py settings are not working here. 2) Mailman/MailList.py:187 and Mailman/HTMLFormatter:46 host_name = Utils.get_domain() --- Same as above 3) In 2.1.11 there is different fontsize in admin/listinfo pages, is this same for 2.1.13? If not, this is easily changed in MailList/Cgi/admin.py - i changed this for 2.1.11 but i dont remember was this in 2.1.13 or did i change this for 2.1.13 too... pff. Example at http://stonelake.fi/mailman/listinfo. Best regards, Joni Töyrylä
