email to specific account
by Robert P. Schwartz April 29, 2014

April 29, 2014

I am a member of multiple email lists from different sources and I have multiple email addresses set up. It appears that emails from my yahoo.com account are not receiving messages. I have checked with other and it appears that if they use yahoo, they are not getting the email either. It happens with multiple email lists from totally different sources. There is one source I know of the their yahoo users are getting the emails. It there a setting I can check or somewhere else I can look at? … [View More]

Newsreader access.
by Joe April 28, 2014

April 28, 2014

Hi, everyone. Can Mailman be set-up for newsreader access ? I would like to allow users to access the mailing lists I host using a newsreader instead of the conventional e-mail method. How complicated is it to set-up Mailman so that users can access it this way ? Will I need to configure my server for this or is the configuration restricted to the Mailman administrative interface ? Thank you in advance of your help and replies. Joe.

Mailman, DMARC and OpenDKIM
by Lindsay Haisley April 27, 2014

April 27, 2014

My understanding is that DMARC alignment depends on both SPF and DKIM and that if a test using either protocol passes, then a DMARC will pass. This is probably an oversimplification, but I'm exploring the idea of whether it might be possible to interpose a milter using OpenDKIM (perhaps zdkimfilter) between Mailman and the outgoing SMTP server (courier-MTA) so that outgoing list posts are appropriately signed. I know next to nothing about DKIM, but there was a time when I knew next to nothing … [View More]

How to re-send list traffic from archives?
by Dan Mahoney, System Admin April 26, 2014

April 26, 2014

Hey there all, Due to a VERP misconfig on one of our systems, we had a number of outbound posts bounce with a 500-series error. What we'd like to do is go through the archives for the period of time we missed, and re-send those messages. Is this something anyone's had to do in the past and could maybe provide pointers? Failing that, can someone tell me why it might be a really bad idea? -Dan Mahoney -- --------Dan Mahoney-------- Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet … [View More]

Mailman 2.1.18 release
by Mark Sapiro April 26, 2014

April 26, 2014

I am pleased to announce the first release candidate for Mailman 2.1.18. Python 2.4 is the minimum supported, but Python 2.7 is recommended. This release has new features to help with mitigation of the impacts of DMARC on mailing lists. There is also a new dependency associated with these features. Namely, the new Privacy options -> Sender filters -> dmarc_moderation_action feature requires that the dnspython <http://www.dnspython.org/> package be available in Python. There are … [View More]

Workaround for yahoo/aol dmarc?
by Conrad G T Yoder April 25, 2014

April 25, 2014

I’ve been poking around the Mailman options (that I have access to… I am using a hosted Mailman 2.1.14) and brainstorming - would it be possible, using the options in the “Non-digest options” page, to munge the “From:” header of Yahoo/AOL posters to change their address to something like smith(a)aol-removethis.com? I don’t know enough python to answer this. -Conrad -- Loose talk is noose talk. Be a live patriot, not a dead traitor.

DMARC: Testing anonymous_list as an option
by Terry Earley April 25, 2014

April 25, 2014

I have been reading these posts and your documentation<http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/DMARC>with interest, and since in our list, we moderate every post, we did not have too much concern about having moderators re-post yahoo messages. Then the news that AOL is joining the DMARC party got me worrying that soon the big players, gmail, hotmail, etc may also decide to implement DMARC for messages coming from their users. To prepare for that possibility, I have been testing one of the … [View More]

I : Error message "Bug in Mailman version 2.1.12" when approving a moderated post and selecting "Preserve message for the Administrator"...
by Jacques Setton April 25, 2014

April 25, 2014

Hi, I was logged-into Mailman as a moderator and just hit the error message "Bug in Mailman version 2.1.12 - We're sorry, we hit a bug! " The latter was generated when approving a moderated post and concomitantly selecting "Preserve message for the Administrator" - see all the details below. When returning to the approval form screen (back arrow in the navigator) , this time I only approved the post without selecting the "Preserve message for the Administrator" check button. This led … [View More]to a screen indicating that the approval procedure resumed. As moderator, I later received a copy of the post indicating that sections of it were filtered out, according the rules enforced in the admin section . Would anyone have an idea about the related problem and possible workaround solution ? Thanks for your help - Regards.
