More mass unsubscriptions
by Lindsay Haisley April 16, 2014

April 16, 2014

This morning at 9 AM CDT one of FMP's lists here saw another mass unsubscription event - 51 subscribers with the usual ESP addresses: hotmail, yahoo, comcast, bellsouth, etc. Checking the list archive, there have been no posts to the list from yahoo.com since the 13th. Someone else must be publishing a DMARC p=reject record. Any insight on this? I've told the list admins that putting all yahoo.com subscribers on moderation so that they can read list traffic but not post would put a band-… [View More]

handler to auto detach attachment and link it to a website?
by Sylvain Viart April 16, 2014

April 16, 2014

Hi, I've a project to setup a mailman for newsletter. I've found many interesting links about it. I will post them as a reminder at the end of this message, as it can help someone else. My question is: Is there any handler that I can setup in the pipeline to: * detach an attachment * post it to a webservice (or run a script uploading it to an online storage) * modify the content of the mail, linking it to the online stored attachment ? Or a good base to program it. The … [View More]

Best solution to fix the yahoo problem?
by Mark London April 13, 2014

April 13, 2014

Thanks for the replies to my other post, and sorry that I didn't search the archives first, before posting. In any event, I'm a unclear about the best solution (if there is one). Is there a solution, that will only modify messages from domains that are like yahoo? I.e., only yahoo posts will be modified so that they will get delivered, but all the other other posts, will look like they presently do? As a hack fix, could I simply modify my mailman code, so that @yahoo.com is changed to @… [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] DMARC issues

My native paranoia has caused me to take note of the fact that what can only be described as a naked power grab by a collection of corporate Internet giants, with blatant disregard for the principles of net neutrality, has occurred while the attention of the national tech media is focused on the Heartbleed bug.

DMARC victim example?
by Peter Shute April 13, 2014

April 13, 2014

We just had a list member disabled. Is this likely to be caused by the DMARC problem? Here's the header from the attachment in the bounce action notification email: <xxxxx.xxx(a)gmail.com> (expanded from <xxxxx(a)xxxxx.com.au>): host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[2607:f8b0:400e:c03::1b] said: 550-5.7.1 [2400:8900::f03c:91ff:fedb:b1ff 12] Our system has detected that 550-5.7.1 this message is likely unsolicited mail.

DMARC issues
by Siniša Burina April 13, 2014

April 13, 2014

Hello! I believe there's no need to elaborate on the problems recently introduced by Yahoo, changing their DMARC DNS record and rendering many mailman lists unusable for Yahoo mail users. I see the solution to this problem in changing the From: field to mailing list's address, but keeping the poster's name or address in the description part of the same field. For example: From: "List Name on behalf of Poster Name" <list(a)add.re.ss> or From: "Poster Name via List Name" <list(a)add.… [View More]

quick question
by Al Black April 13, 2014

April 13, 2014

Hi gang, I'm getting a little tired of going through the mail logs just to get an idea of "how are the damn dmarc bounces" doing today. Has anybody written a little script to sort through and count the bounces? Ideally, it would mail me the results, though part of me thinks it would be more ideal to mail to results to me and yahoo abuse. thanks, al

Cannot start after ubuntu upgrade
by Jeff Taylor April 9, 2014

April 9, 2014

I just upgraded an old ubuntu machine from oneiric to precise, and now I cannot get mailman to run. Something starts up long enough to set a pid file, but then it simply dies. There is nothing being added to either syslog or any of the mailman log files. I tried reinstalling mailman, and made sure there were no other packages that needed to finish installing after the upgrade, but I can't seem to find anything wrong. I've been searching google for a way to increase logging verbosity, … [View More]

sendmail and mailman mail0-wrapper
by Bruce Harrison April 8, 2014

April 8, 2014

Installing a new version of mailman on a new virtual machine (debian 4.6.3-14), and Mailman is complaining of a group mismatch error on the mail-wrapper. System is executing as mail and mailman wants it executed as mailman group. Looked for the smrsh config in sendmail, but this version on Debian seems not to use that. Also can't get sendmail to accept remote connections. Localhost works fine. Telnet to port 25 on host works fine. Remote telnet gets "554 mailman2.xxx.xxx ESMTP not accepting … [View More]

Prevent user subscription based on word pattern

April 8, 2014

Can we add email address into the Ban List based on word pattern? We have a particular email address that we want to prevent from re-subscribe. However, we would like to prevent any emails that have "sexy" pattern in. Yes, we have an email subscribed to our lists and as soon as a message send out. The senders will receive replies soliciting meetup encounter. If we want to prevent any emails that contain the word "sexy", will this works? *sexy* Thank you,

subscribed address that forwards to secondary address can't be identified
by Christopher Adams April 7, 2014

April 7, 2014

Hello all, This is not necessarily a Mailman question, but I thought someone administering Mailman may have come across this before. A person is receiving mail through a list. The address that they are currently using (@gmail.com) is not subscribed to the list. I assume that means a subscribed address is forwarding to the gmail account. The gmail account people don't have any idea what they could have been subscribed as. I thought maybe the Mailman or MTA logs would show the susbscribed … [View More]

Automatic entry into aliases file

Hello - We just moved Mailman to a new server and the version we're now using is 2.1.14. I'm sorry I don't remember what the old version was, but it was pretty old... we had not upgraded for years (oops). Anyway, with our old Mailman, whenever I created a new list it would automatically put a nice stanza into my aliases file that looked like this: # STANZA START: academicsenate # CREATED: Fri Sep 5 14:31:10 2008 academicsenate: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post … [View More]
