I have looked and cannot find it. Is there a setting for bouncing message with multiple to's or to: and CC: We want mail coming in to our list to be only for our list and not being sent to others in the same message.

Question About last_mailman_version During Migratrion
by Barry Finkel 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

I am testing migrating Mailman from an Ubuntu Dapper system with my own Mailman 2.1.14 package built from the SourceForge source to an Ubuntu Lucid system with the Debian Lucid Mailman 2.1.13 package. I tested the Lucid system, and then I copied /var/lib/mailman/archives /var/lib/mailman/data /var/lib/mailman/lists /var/lib/mailman/qfiles [no files present] from my test Dapper to the Lucid system. I then rebuilt the /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases file (each system has test lists). The question regards /var/lib/mailman/data/last_mailman_version The current file on Lucid has "0x2010ef0", and before the merge it had "0x2010df0". I have not done extensive testing with the lists I copied, but I had no trouble accessing the admin web pages for a few lists. Given that the Lucid installation is 2.1.13, should the last_mailman_version be set back to "0x2010df0"? I am assuming that there will be no problems with the list config files in /var/lib/mailman/lists between 2.1.13 and 2.1.14. I have not loooked in detail at the Debian patches to 2.1.13, other than to discard most of them when I attempted to build a 2.1.14 Lucid package from the SourceForge source. The only problem I had in building the package is that is was built for AMD64 (as I have on Dapper), not for X86-64 (as I have on Lucid). I have not yet had the time to determine why, as I am told that I have to install the Debian Lucid package. Thanks. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry S.

*list*-manager getting mail
by Raven 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hi all. I run a mailman installation with a couple hundreds users and since last system update (Debian mailman_2.1.13-4.1_i386), I am getting a copy of all messages in the "*list*-manager(a)domain.com" mailbox. No settings have been changed in ages so I'm wondering why this is happening. Any clues? -RV

Mailman not sending messages
by Alex Ylinärä 20 Feb '11

20 Feb '11

Hi, Tried to find the answer from the website but didn't find it, so trying this way. I have this problem that mailman sends randomly messages to the list subscribers. Not to random members but in random occasions. For example: myself, as a administrator, have succeeded couple of times but there has been times that even I was unable to send messages. Also some subscribers have had this kind of experiences. The most interesting thing in this thing is that nevertheless all messages can be found from the archives. Unfortunately not in subscribers inboxes... Hope that I did explain this right... Any ideas? Yours sincerely from freezing Finland Alex Ylinärä

https and virtual domains
by David Newman 20 Feb '11

20 Feb '11

How to configure Mailman to handle https redirects to public archives for virtual domains? This is for a server with a canonical name of mail.domain1.tld, and virtual names of lists.domain2.tld, lists.domain3.tld, etc. With the mm.cfg config pasted below, clicking the archives link on a list page for lists.domain2.tld redirects to https://mail.domain1.tld/pipermail/listname which fails because the list name is associated with domain2.tld and not domain1.tld. Not sure if this is related, but this is after running 'withlist -l -r fix_url listname' on domain2.tld's mailing list and restarting mailman. Thanks in advance for configuration clues. dn # Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line. MTA = 'Postfix' MAILMAN_SITE_LIST = 'mailman' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.domain1.tld' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mail.domain1.tld' DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/' PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'https://%(hostname)s/pipermail/%(listname)s' # Clear the Defaults.py VIRTUAL_HOSTS entry VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() add_virtualhost('lists.domain2.tld','lists.domain2.tld') add_virtualhost('lists.domain3.tld','lists.domain3.tld') add_virtualhost('lists.domain4.tld','lists.domain4.tld') add_virtualhost('lists.domain5.tld','lists.domain5.tld') VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS = Yes VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES = Yes VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = Yes VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1 OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = 1

Keep receiving from MYLIST-bounces a notification that is wrong
by Olivier Michel 19 Feb '11

19 Feb '11

Hi, I keep receiving from a list called MYLIST a moderator request for a waiting message that should be considered (all traffic is moderated on that list) while actually there is no such message to be moderated. I looked through the FAQ of Mailman, through the pending queues and the postfix sending queue and everything is empty. Do you have any clue where I could look for that message to be removed? Configuration: mailman 1:2.1.11-11+lenny1 + postfix 2.5.5-1.1 All the best, Olivier.

Mailman not reciving mail
by Joe Madden 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

Hi all, I recently bough a new URL and wanted to port over the mailman from the old url to the new url. I did this by using the "withlist" script, edited the url, moved the mailman lists accross and checked the url - Working. I then sent an email to the mailman system to post on the list and nothing, mailman didnt pick it up. I then reverted the changes using the same method however i came up agienst the same issue (It was working before the url change) I also made the relevent changes to mm_cfg.py. If anyone has any suggestions that would be excellent. thanks Joe.
