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).

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

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]

Admin approval messages not being sent
by Christopher Adams April 25, 2013

April 25, 2013

Hello, Confirmation messages sent to users are being sent successfully. Messages intended as approval for subscriptions and sent to the list administrators are not being sent. They appear as 'held subscription' in the mail logs. The list has the *admin_immed_notify* set to 'yes'. The cron /cron/checkdbs runs every morning at 8 am. I have read of possible Handler exceptions in Mailman, but the error logs don't show anything. What else could I look for to diagnose this problem? Thank you. -… [View More]
