We use Mailman 2.1.14 to send mail to a list of about 90 subscribers. There
is an exchange server sitting between us and the outside world. The mail is
arriving in various formats to different mail-clients e.g. an email with
content in the body, including one image, only arrives back to us (Outlook
2003) as an email with a header in the body plus two text attachments (one
with a footer and the other with the email body content) plus one html
attachment (with image and email body content). …
[View More]Sometimes the email arrives
back to us with the email content in the body of the email and not converted
to attachments. If there are attachments sent these seem to stay as
attachments wherever they go. To a person external to us the content
arrives as we would want it i.e. in the body of the email. To another
person external to us using a Mac (Safari?) it arrives with the content in
the email but includes a header and footer.
We'd like the emails to arrive as they are sent i.e. with the content in the
body, and not as attachments. What settings do I need to adjust to achieve
this? Thanks.

Hello all,
Don't know if this small addition would be useful to anyone else but I
will pass it along.
A little explanation first. It seems our users have some difficulty in
unsubscribing from the lists they are on. I know it is simple, yet I
get a lot of email complaining the process is to difficult. The biggest
issue I see is when the user puts in their email address then clicks the
"unsubscribe or edit options" button and the user lands on the Options
page. Apparently, the users see the …
[View More]password field and try a password
and then find out it is not the correct one. The users just don't seem
to read the page first which even tells the users to click the
unsubscribe button if they are trying to unsubscribe. Well, they don't
read, have problems, then email me that they have tried "everything" and
it doesn't work.
My solution was to modify the Mailman/Cgi/options.py file to add a line
under the Password field telling the user to leave the password blank
and click on the unsubscribe button.
As I said, don't know if it will help anyone but if you have user's with
problems reading, it might help. Below is a diff file with the
changes. I modified the original file from Centos 5.6 (their mailman
package is v2.1.9-6). If you are running a different version, take
care when making any changes.

Mark, if you think this is useful, let me know what I need to do to get
it put into 2.1.15 (you are still working on) and / or 3.0+.
Disclaimer: the change(s) I made works for me with my implementation of
mailman. Your mileage may vary. Use at solely your own risk. Just
because it worked for me, doesn't guarantee it will work for you.
Thanks,
Chris

I have a list that started getting a lot of spam from a particular
address. Most of them get sent to moderation because of "Too many
recipients" and they are easily dealt with.
The address in question was an alternate address for one member and
after speaking with him, we decided it would be OK to take the address
off the list completely. I have done so but continue to receive spam
from that address. The list has generic_nonmember_action set to discard
but the messages continue to come …
[View More]in, although they still mostly go to
moderation rather than the list. But I don't see how they are getting
there. I tried adding the address to discard_these_nonmembers but that,
too, seems to have no effect.
Looking at the header of one of the message, however, and I see that
although they show up as From that single banned address, there are
multiple addresses in the From field. At least one other of the
addresses is a valid list address. I assume that as long as at least one
From address is valid, mailman will let it through the gate. Is that
right? Should there be some setting to only let in mail with a single
From address? I can't see any reason to allow multiple From values. Or
possibly a setting that says "all From addresses must be on the list".
Or am I missing something?

Some of my users are complaining that they receive the monthly reminder twice - and I have no idea what the problem could be.
