reply_goes_to_list broken in 2.1.18-1?
by Gibbs, David May 16, 2014

May 16, 2014

Folks: I was previously running 2.1.17 (after having not upgraded for a VERY long time). Everything is working just fine. I saw the new DMARC modifications and decided to upgrade to 2.1.18-1. The upgrade went fine ... but after running for a bit some of my users told me that when they replied to a list message it was going to the author of the message they are replying to instead of the list. The Reply-to header was *NOT* present in the messages being sent from the list. I have … [View More]

Postings being discarded due to DKIM failures?
by Robert Heller May 15, 2014

May 15, 2014

A list member recently tried to post a message to a list and the message was discarded for no *appearent* reason. The only clue is that for some reason the message is failing the DKIM check (DKIM=fail). I am using Mailman 2.1.16 on CentOS 5 (python-2.4.3-56.el5, httpd-2.2.3-85.el5.centos, dkim-milter-2.8.3-8.el5). Is there some way to get Mailman to log why it is discarding messages? -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller(a)deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http:… [View More]

Get newer version of Mailman for Debian 6?
by Sascha Rissel May 15, 2014

May 15, 2014

Hello there, I am running a vServer on Debian6. Via "apt-get install mailman" I installed and set up Mailman 2.1.13, which is running fine with 5 mailing lists on my server. Motivated by all those discussions about Yahoo's DMARC on this list, I wondered whether I can upgrade my Mailman installation to a newer version. I tried "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" but I did not receive a newer version of Mailman. Unfortunately I don't consider myself as good enough in Linux usage, to be … [View More]

mailman-AttachmentMove: completely remove moved attachment?
by Sylvain Viart May 15, 2014

May 15, 2014

Hi, What'd be the trouble if I completely remove attachment from the message? First I've copied the behavior of the Handler Scrubber.py and ThunderBird filelink module. It wipes the attachment but sill send a fake one. Which looks like: --------------020101070601020108020001 X-Mozilla-Cloud-Part: cloudFile; url=http://remotelocation/remotefile; name=original_name.pdf Content-Type: application/octet-stream Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Regards, Sylvain

Virtual Mailman broke!
by Jan Steinman May 15, 2014

May 15, 2014

I'm using the Mailman and postfix that came bundled with MacOS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on a Mac Mini Server. I have problems adding new lists using the web interface. It's been a problem forever, but I've forgotten the magic fixes to magic files that I've done in the past to correct it. I have a number of small non-profits that I host websites for, and each has one or more Mailman lists. I run my own DNS and MTA using the domain "bytesmiths.com". All these virtual domain lists were working, … [View More]

Subscription flood
by Bill Christensen May 15, 2014

May 15, 2014

Hi all, I've got a problem with one of my lists where it's being flooded with spurious subscription requests. The list was set to require subscription confirmation; the innocent victims whose addresses were used for the subscription requests started complaining, as they'd get anywhere from 2 to 400 (!) confirmation requests in a day from a list they'd never even heard of. About 12 hrs ago I switched it to require Admin approval. 500+ subscription requests - mostly in batches of 5-10 … [View More]

> I've got a problem with one of my lists where it's being flooded with spurious subscription requests... from the same address... Perhaps obvious, and perhaps in the FAQ Mark linked, but this sounds like a job for ipfw to me. I regularly get spambot subscription requests, and they go right in the firewall. (For example: "ipfw add deny tcp from 1.2.3.4 to any". You could add port 25, but I figure if they are so lax to allow email list spambots, I don't need to listen to them at all.) … [View More]

A word to the wise: spam-checking and RFC conformance
by Stephen J. Turnbull May 14, 2014

May 14, 2014

Hi all, I just discovered that the spam-checker for a non-Mailman list I subscribe to (I suspect SpamAssassin but I can't confirm yet, the MLM is ListServ) is introducing 8-bit characters into the header. What appears to be happening is that the original post uses a Content-Transfer-Encoding of 8bit or binary, and contains some 8-bit octets (typically fancy quotes and the occasional accented character in the posts I receive), and the spam checker copies an excerpt from the body into the "X-… [View More]

Just installed a fresh copy of 2.1.18-1. Sent a test message to a list where dmarc_moderation_action is set to 'munge from'.
