2.1.18 internal documentation suggestions
by Lindsay Haisley May 3, 2014

May 3, 2014

The internal documentation in the admin screens for 2.1.18 is a bit confusing with regard to Reply-To munging. In the doc for the from_is_list option we have "It replaces the poster's address in the From: header with the list address and adds the poster to the Reply-To: header, but the anonymous_list and Reply-To: header munging settings below take priority." Which Reply-To: header munging settings take priority, and how should one set them so that they don't override from_is_list? If … [View More]

Issue approving subscription requests
by Murray S. Kucherawy May 2, 2014

May 2, 2014

For a list I recently migrated from 2.1.14 on one machine to 2.1.17 on another, I'm unable to approve pending subscription requests. After making my choices and clicking "Submit all data", the radio buttons simply reset themselves with no changes made to the subscriber records. "check_perms -f" and "check_db" make no complaints about my configuration. Is this a bug? Could something have gotten botched in the migration? The lists seem to be operating fine otherwise. -MSK

Private mailing list reply watcher
by Tomas Babej May 1, 2014

May 1, 2014

Hi, for our organization, we do host several mailing lists that serve two purposes: * for our internal communication * for people outside our organization to contact us However, it sometimes happens that a person that is not a member (and thus not subscribed to the list) writes us an email and we do reply, but to the list only (by mistake), not delivering the message to the intended participant. I plan to write a script that will handle such cases in a generic way, however, I don't like … [View More]

Excessive bounces to list members on my list
by Gregori Kurtzman, DDS April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Need some insight and help. I have recently taken over a list that is using mailman v 2.1.14. And we are getting a lot of bounce notices regarding members and de-activation's of their subscriptions due to this. In the bounce notices I get as list manager I see the following 'This message failed DMARC Evaluation" Also members are complaining they see no messages coming from the list or even their own posts. Can any one guide me on this? Greg Gregori M. Kurtzman, DDS, MAGD, FPFA, FACD, … [View More]

Mailman 2.1.16: where is the from_is_list option?
by Robert Heller April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

I can't seem to find this option! I have mailman 2.1.16 setup on a test server, but I cannot find the from_is_list option. Is there some special config magic that is needed for this? -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller(a)deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments

Disappearing messages
by sherwin April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Hi, I run a forum on Ibiblio and am seeing a strange phenomenon lately. Messages are dropping off for certain users like AT&T, sbcglobal, etc. Gmail users are seeing these messages as Spam, but others are seeing nothing. Strangely, these messages do appear in the Archives of Ibiblio. Many of these messages are sent from AOL subscribers and Yahoo. I am being told that AOL and Yahoo are appending certain things to their headers which makes them incompatible with standard practices. … [View More]

'Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender' error when using an e-mail from a domain co-hosted with the one used for Mailman lists
by Jacques Setton April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Hi, After completely abandoning the use of a Plesk based Linux package (see previous discussions <https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg63856.html> ), I have been able to successfully deploy Mailman lists on a Webmin/Postfix/Dovecot Linux package. All mailman lists functions & features work well on the later system except in one specific case. When I try to subscribe to a list (say Mailman) using an e-mail address based on a virtual domain (say domain.net… [View More]) which is co-hosted with the default virtual domain used for Mailman lists (say domain.org), I immediately get an Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender error as depicted below : -------------------------------------------------------------------- De : Jacques Setton [mailto:jsetton@domain.net] Envoyé : lundi 21 avril 2014 8:00 À : 'mailman-request(a)domain.org' Objet : RE: confirm c36ad7639824b608c00b962a9afa76e2ccf006d1 De : MAILER-DAEMON (Mail Delivery System) [mailto:MAILER-DAEMON (Mail Delivery System)] Envoyé : lundi 21 avril 2014 8:00 À : jsetton(a)domain.net Objet : Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender This is the mail system at host vps12345.ovh.net.

The second mail is the response received in return, indicating that the mailman specified address was unknown. The attached error report follow thereafter. The collocated virtual domains labeled domain.org and domain.net are hosted on the same physical server vps12345@ovh.net, sharing a common IP address. Would such behavior be related to a bad or incomplete definition of the mydestination / myorigin parameters in the Postfix main.cf file ? Here is an excerpt of the related values produced by the postconf n command line : ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [ ] mydestination = localhost.$mydomain, localhost, localhost.localdomain mydomain = localdomain myhostname = vps12345.ovh.net mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 myorigin = $mydomain [ ] unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 [ ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If not, what else could cause such failure ?

Q : Is there a possibility to localize / customize the standard Mailman lists home page / UI look ?
by Jacques Setton April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Currently, when choosing a specific local language (French in our case) for Mailman' lists user interface, I have noticed that the standard home page (for example the one depicted by 'lists.domain.org/mailman/listinfo') remains in the English language. Would there be a possibility to localize that page as well ? While being on this topic, I'd like also to know if it is possible to customize the general look & feel of the display UI say, at the minimum, eventually replace or add a … [View More]

moving mailman
by jdd April 30, 2014

April 30, 2014

Hello, I hate disturbing you :-(, but I can't manage it myself :-( my original mailman server broke. I had a backup. I loan a new hosted server, mailman is here: http://culte.org/mailman/listinfo the list "test" should be open. I followed all the infos to move mailman from here: http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030682, but only mostly, because the infos are old and my distribution is openSUSE, so some minor changes (for example wwwrun:mailman as owner) I try to … [View More]
