Thanks for the help. Should we take this off list, since this seems unique, or do you think the list would be interested?

mime type of psd file
by rpschwar＠knology.net 11 May '11

11 May '11

Just tried: image/vnd.adobe.photoshop as suggested. Still did not work. How do you look at the raw message to see what the Content_type: header for the attached part says it will be? What is the mime type of a psd file? I have tried : application/octet-stream image/psd image/x-psd and they don't work. Robert

Mailman list sends but doesn't receive mail.
by JRC Groups 10 May '11

10 May '11

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 details of permanent failure: > Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient > domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further > information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server > returned was: 550 550 5.1.1 <list(a)domain.com>: Recipient address rejected: > User unknown in virtual alias table (state 14). What could be the cause ? In order for a Mailman list to work properly do I need to create an account for it in Workgroup Manager with its e-mail address ? Sorry if this is a simple question but I am not an IT specialist and don't have any experience with Mailman. Thank you in advance, Joe

Strange E-mail Message About List Description
by Barry Finkel 10 May '11

10 May '11

I created a new list today at 13:42 (Mailman 2.1.14), and the "Description" field contained a "+" character, per the customer's request. At 14:00 I received an e-mail from From: root(a)lists.anl.gov Subject: + in description for LISTNAME I cannot find anywhere in the source where this mail is generated, and I do not know why Mailman objects to a "+" character in the "Description" field. There also is a "+" character in the "Info" field, but there is no complaint about that. What generated the e-mail message, and what is the problem with a "+" character in the "Description" field? Thanks. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry S.

.py and .pyc files
by LuKreme 06 May '11

06 May '11

I made some changes to a .py file and then restarted mailman with /usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl restart however, the .pyc file did not get updated as its timestamp didn't change: # ls -lshtr Mailman/Handlers/Spam* 6 -rw-r--r-- 1 root mailman 4.4K Apr 24 2010 Mailman/Handlers/SpamDetect.pyc 6 -rw-r--r-- 1 root mailman 4.9K May 4 08:58 Mailman/Handlers/SpamDetect.py the change was simple, just added some text to the Errors.RejectMessage (Mailman-2.1.12) So, it looks like mm_cfg.py is the only .py that gets recompiled automatically, right? So how do I recompile SpamDetect.py after making my changes? -- <http://img.ly/system/uploads/000/780/083/large_IMG_0710.PNG?1300988642>

I started this thread some time ago and got to the point where I was able to trace things to Postfix and ultimately found where the message was apparently sent to my ISP.

However, my ISP never delivers the email to the recipient. All other mail to/from my mailing lists work and are successfully delivered including welcome messages, etc. This means to me (unless someone can think of something else) that the reason my ISP is not delivering the mail is because it is finding something unique in this particular email that does not exist in all others. There is no bounced message from the ISP so it must be throwing it into the bit bucket for some reason and I am not getting even a hint as to what is wrong. Can someone think of what is unique about these messages from all the others mailman generates? I doubt it is anything in the body so it seems it has to be something in the headers. The only straw I can grasp is perhaps the from address. 'Mailman-bounces' does not exist but is that not the from address of all mailman generated messages? Thanks.

per-list personalization without enabling OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE...
by William Yardley 04 May '11

04 May '11

http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030545 seems to suggest that it's possible to enable personalization (for headers / footers of messages), without enabling VERP itself (for the envelope-sender of messages). Is that correct? Some of the mailing list messages I have seen seem to imply that you have to also Also, is it possible to toggle personalization under the hood (using withlist / config_list to set 'mlist.personalize = 2') /without/ enabling OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION globally? I have a case where I'd like to enable personalization for a couple of lists without allowing any other list owners to enable this feature. w
