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

Today I check the subscribers list ("Membership Management...
Section") on one of our lists and called up
the legend using "Click here to include the legend for this table."
After clicking on that link, the page did indeed display the legend,
but the page now starts with:
Error: The form lifetime has expired. (request forgery check)

Hello
some of my list are being spammed with bot subscription request. I am
looking for a way to add a hidden field to the subscription page of each
list that a bot would see but a human user will not.
I would like to have Mailman automatically drop any subscription request
that has the hidden field fill out.
below is the subscription area for the list and I have added the subject
field. the subject field is what i would like to hide and have drop the
request.

I am new to HTML and this is as far as i can get at the moment. If anyone
has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. I am running Mailman on
a Linux server.
Thank you

Hello,
In some of our lists, we are receiving excessive spam messages. We
analyzed the spam messages and found that they have similar headers. As
a result, we developed the following list:
^X-Mailer: (?!Microsoft Outlook .*)$
^X-mailer: .*$
^X-Mailer-LID: .*$
^X-Mailer-RecptId: .*$
^X-Mailer-SID: .*$
^X-Mailer-Sent-By: .*$
^X-Spam-Status: Yes.*$
^X-Spam-Flag: YES
^X-Virus-Status: Yes
We don't want to receive any mails from external mail systems, only real
persons can send emails.
We enter this list to the bounce_matching_headers part (in the admin
panel, under Spam Filtering).
However, we couldn't make this list processed by Mailman. We also
couldn't understand in what part we are doing wrong.
Can you please assist us in this situation?
Thanks,
Note: We are using Mailman 2.1.13
Hello...
I'm wondering if someone can help me. I'm currently using version 2.1.14 of the GNU Mailman software to host a number of different lists. All of them work GREAT, but I'm running into a problem with one of them that I just can't seem to figure out.
Whenever members post messages to this particular list using any kind of URL, the URL comes through twice, for example:
heather_dubin(a)yahoo.com<mailto:heather_dubin@yahoo.com>
http://www.cce-usa.org/<http://www.cce-usa.org/>
I have looked through all of the settings and compared them to the settings of the lists that are working properly, but I don't see anything that's different.
Does anyone have ANY idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!

Hi all,
we have a problem with mailman on Ubuntu 10LTS. We have set a site password using mmsitepass (and before that using the Plesk interface). Mailman is referenced globally for several domains using a ScriptAlias, but when opening the admin interface (e.g. .../cgi-bin/mailman/create), mailman does not ask for a password. What else can be do to enable the site password that you have to enter before you receive any options in the mailman area?
Any help is really appreciated - thanks!

Hello,
I have mailman 2.1.14 running on OS X Server 10.6.8
One list runs on a virtual domain.
All webpages for the list are addressed via https.
I achieved that with a redirect rule in apache, it simply redirects all http of that domain to https.
That works fine so far, but when I try to approve the message of a moderated user nothing happens, the page just gets reloaded with no change.
What I'm missing here?
thanks
Matthias
Hi,
I suspect that my mailing list: sayeverything(a)sayeverything.org is not showing the exact number of total subscribers. Since last couple of weeks I have been approving the subscription request but the total number is shown as it was as earlier. total members reached to 406 a Month back but I am not able to see any change in numbers, wile I am subscribing other members too.
Please suggest.

Hello all,
Before I go and completely savage the lists we have here, I thought I
would try to get a little more information about using config_list.
I get the list information from a file sent to me. I want to use a
script to process the file, output the processed data to a file, then
use config_list to make the changes to the appropriate list(s). The
only values I want to change are the list's owner, moderator, and the
*_these_nonmembers.
Can I create a file (properly formatted) to input into config_list
containing only the values I want to change? Or, do I have to dump the
entire file, make the changes, then reload?
Next, I see the change_pw allows me to change a list's password. Is
that the owner's password, the moderator's password, or both? If it is
only the owners password, is there a way to change the moderator's
password through some other mechanism/program?
Thanks,
Chris
