Editing Mailman's text files
by Pete Bell May 8, 2024

May 8, 2024

Hi. I'm a new member of this group but have been running an email list with Mailman for a long time. I am now setting a list up again and want to give a "look and feel" to the list which has more branding of my user group as a whole, and less of a Mailman-feel. I seem to remember that besides editing the public HTML pages, it is possible to edit the text files which Mailman automatically sends out for certain needs (such as 'approve.txt', 'adminsubscribeack.txt', 'invite.txt', and so on). A.… [View More]

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

Mailman CGI Error-Group mismatch error
by Wang, Mary Y Sept. 9, 2020

Sept. 9, 2020

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 … [View More]

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]

Message Body missing from Yahoo Mail users
by Phil June 30, 2011

June 30, 2011

Hi All, I'm sorry if this was posted earlier, but I didn't see it in my searches through the archives. It seems like every one of the members on my Mailman server who use Yahoo for their mail are missing the main body of the e-mail sent to the group. I am using Python 2.1.14 on a CentOS VPS. I have the list using a non-digest and digest options sent out as HTML. My non-digest Header and Footer are both defined, and both come in just fine in a Yahoo e-mail. Again, the body (between header … [View More]

How to integrate HTDIG when installing with Yum
by Rosenbaum, Larry M. June 30, 2011

June 30, 2011

I am about to install Mailman on a RHEL6 system using Yum. How do I integrate HTDIG with it? I have previously done HTDig integration on an install from source on Solaris, which involved a bunch of patching, I'm relatively new at Linux, but I suspect there is a better way to do it. Thanks, Larry

Re: [Mailman-Users] Admindb Issue - Submit doesn't change Holds

Well done Mark! I did fail to mention that I'm doing everything via https and apparently did not do step #3 in the 'Securing Mailman's web GUI by using Secure HTTP-SSL' instructions.

Admindb Issue - Submit doesn't change Holds
by Joel Schuster June 28, 2011

June 28, 2011

Folks, I have a number of holds waiting for moderation on my new installation. However, when I try to change the hold (accept, discard, etc) and click 'Submit All Data' nothing changes. All the holds are still in place. I've run check_perms and fixed everything needing attention since I figured this must be a permissions issue. I've also verified that url rewrites are off so it's not a post/cookie issue as far as I can tell. Does anyone have any other ideas? - Joel
