mailman doesn't send messages from smart phone
by Camelia Botez 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

One of our user tried to send an e-mail to a mailing list from his smart phone including an attachment. He got back the following error message: The attached message was received as a bounce, but either the bounce format was not recognized, or no member addresses could be extracted from it. This mailing list has been configured to send all unrecognized bounce messages to the list administrator(s). How can I fix this? Thank you for help

Hi all, I just see the useful mailman fail2ban jail posted bu jimpop : https://code.launchpad.net/~jimpop/mailman/security-logging <https://code.launchpad.net/%7Ejimpop/mailman/security-logging> But I don't figure out how to add a mailman security log which will contain Authentication Failure entries, and a web search don't return anything. Can someone explain me how to do that ? Thanks a lot. R.C

Google Groups Migration API?
by Joseph Brennan 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

I wonder if anyone on this list can share a script to migrate Mailman archives to a Google group using the Groups Migration API announced about a year ago. I'm actually looking to move mbox files made by 2 or 3 other software packages, but, same solution should work.

Protect seeing the list of mailing lists, using htaccess, or similar?
by Mark London 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Hi - I want to hide our list of mailing lists from the public, but still make the list viewable to administrators. Is this possible, i.e. through an htaccess file, or perhaps some other method? Thanks. Mark London

configuration glitch causing mail delivery fail
by Steve Lindemann 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

I recently moved my email server (with mailman) onto a new server with a different host name. In previous moves the server name was always email.marmot.org (which has an mx record). The server it's on now has a different name and does not have an mx record. I did add the old IP address to the public interface so DNS still points to that box as the mail server and by the name email.marmot.org and I have that in /etc/hosts. Unfortunately when mailman sends messages they fail to deliver to most of the list subscribers and the maillog shows that the helo used is the actual name of the server, not the name of the email server. Naturally the receiving server disconnects when the names isn't right. I could understand this with the move to the new server except every where I know to configure this (both postfix and mailman) I have the name email.marmot.org configured as the URL of the host. Regular email works fine from that box, just mailman is having a problem sending. Does anyone have any idea what I'm missing? -- Steve Lindemann, MSIS __ Network Administrator //\\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Marmot Library Network \\// against HTML/RTF email, +1.970.242.3331 x116 //\\ vCards & M$ attachments http://www.marmot.org

Quick mailman configuration question...
by Scott Chapman 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

I have been poking around and trying to see if I can configure mailman to not include the list in the email being sent? The idea is we are going to be sending a newsletter and want to prevent users from accidentally reply-all to the entire the group. Instead we want it to only go back to the original poster. Make sense? Thanks in advance! -Scott.

User's emails being rejected for "content type not explicitly allowed"
by Peter Shute 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

I've got one user whose emails always get bounced back with the message "The message's content type was not explicitly allowed'. There are no attachments or images in the rejected emails that I can see. Where do I start looking to find out what it's objecting to? Note that we've just moved this list to a new list server, so it's likely to be something we've set wrongly on the new server. There's a dkim-signature header in it. Could that be doing it? I'm not an admin, so I don't have access to any of the list settings. What settings should I ask the admin for to help diagnose it? Peter Shute Sent from my iPad
