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!

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

Hello Everyone -
I sent this message a couple of weeks ago and did not hear from anyone
so I am trying again.
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the way the preformatted
forms from mailman look.
I would like to change the editing-options form but cannot figure out
how to do that. The Mailman code is
<MM-Editing-Options>
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Brian

Hello - I was wondering if anyone has a way to provide subscribers a
simple and easy way to unsubscribe from a mailing list. I do not
provide passwords, so I was wondering if there is a simple enter your
email address box that I can include on a link in my footers?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, it’s been quite a while since I posted here, I kinda miss u guyz:)
I’m running a list of 3 Mil. subscribers for a local news agency as follows:
the whole list is hosted on a 32GBs Ram server, 10 domains, 30 lists, 100,000 subscribers each list..
the mail is distributed thru a relay of 120 servers identified as MX records in the main server’s domains’ DNS zones..
the question is, I noticed that mail delivery is slow, and it gets faster when I use: “postsuper –r ALL” .. do u think it’s a good idea if I added it as a cronjob that runs every minute? or better split the list into several servers??
Thanks..
The issue was that as of 12.04 ubuntu upgraded to ipv6 support.
My mailman install required relaying of mails by postfix but
because the system was now ipv6 enabled, this
was not possible until add following to mynetworks
[::1]/128
Thanks to Mark Sapiro on the mailman list for persisting
and finding the answer.
Maybe this will save someone else the time that it cost me.
Is the cause of this type of issue my ignorance alone?
Why (else) do these things happen?

I am trying to download Pipermail archives from
http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/users/. They are offered in txt.gz files. I
now understand that even though it is not immediately obvious, I can
download the uncompressed .txt versions by modifying the URL, and the
resulting files are fine. But if I download one of the txt.gz files and
unzip it to create a .txt file the results are undecipherable. It looks like
a different character encoding was used. The beginning of the unzipped file
has the host server's path in clear text at the top (information that is not
in the .txt file downloaded directly, BTW), but the rest is gibberish. Is
there something special about the process that Pipermail uses to produce the
.gz files, or is this something xwiki.org might have changed?

Hi
I have the following versions mailman 1:2.1.14-3 on postfix 2.9.1-5 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
When I configure post install with the following instructionsi such as this one:
http://free-electrons.com/blog/mailman-howto-ubuntu-10-04/
My installation is for lists on virtual domains
NOT foobar.fruitcom.com
but complete virtual domains, in this example
foobar.com
Postfix reports a warning:
warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter: mailman_destination_recipient_limit=1
Mails sent to one of the list committee(a)foobar.com give the following error:
<"|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post committee"@fruitcom.com>
(expanded from
<committee(a)foobar.com>): unknown user: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post committee"
Is there a suggestion to address this particular issue which I
think is the expansion to `committee"@fruitcom.com' ,
alternatively, are there other instructions
Thanks.

I've recently switched servers so had to re-set up all of my mail lists. I
set them up on the new server exactly how they were set up on the old
server. However, new messages now include a blank .txt file (ATT00115.txt).
Under Non-digest options, both the Header and Footer are blank (including no
extra spaces).
I do need to allow attachments, but I'd like to remove these blank ones.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hello,
I am finally getting around to to upgrading Mailman 2.1.13. Should I
upgrade to 2.1.14 and then upgrade to 2.1.15, or just go directly to 2.1.15?
It sounds like 2.1.15 changes some files significantly, but the process
remains the same. Basically, do as if installing mailman initially, using
all parameters that were previously used.
Am I correct in my assumptions and is there anything else that I should
know. based on what others experiences when upgrading.
Many thanks,
