DMARC and Reply-To lines with from_is_list munging.
by Glenn Sieb May 13, 2014

May 13, 2014

Greetings... So I run a bunch of mailing lists, with a bunch of people who are not technically adept whatsoever. ("I am not getting list posts! "That's because you set yourself to no mail" "What's no mail?" "It means you set yourself to be a member of the list, but not to get any email from it." "Oh that's good." "So we're good then?" "But why am I not getting any emails from the list?" *headdesk*--yes this was an actual conversation with a user.) People are, of course, bitching about the … [View More]

Logging fail?
by Mark J Bradakis May 12, 2014

May 12, 2014

So I update to the latest 2.1.18. Mailman quits working. Sure, all the qrunners are running, but any mail to any list just disappears. Postfix gets it and sends it on: May 11 19:09:51 autox postfix/local[22287]: 2A5C32D60BBD: to=<tn_admin(a)autox.team.net>, relay=local, delay=0.13, delays=0.01/0/0/0.13, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /local/mailman/teamnet/mail/mailman post tn_admin) Go to the logs directory, grep for 'tn_admin' and nothing shows up. Where did the … [View More]

Saving list subscribers from a backup
by Bernie Cosell May 12, 2014

May 12, 2014

in the face of zillions of bounce/unsubscribes thanks to the DMARC mess, what I'd like to do is get the sysadmin to snapshot the list members from, say, a week ago. Then when we get things cleaned up I can 'restore' the list as it was. I don't know how to do it and I tried googling and only found: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2003-March/027011.html which said ~/mailman/lists/<list_name>/config.db On our system, though, all I find is: mailman$ ls Mailman/ … [View More]

MM 2.1.18-1 question
by Lindsay Haisley May 12, 2014

May 12, 2014

My understanding is that MM 2.1.18-1 corrects a python version incompatibility in MM 2.1.18 and nothing more. My MM server is running python 2.7.3 and I've had no problems with MM 2.1.18. Are there any compelling reasons for me to upgrade? I have a patch collection which would need to be re-applied, a bit of a PITA but I can do it if necessary. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works if you let it" FMP Computer Services | 512-259-1190 | - The Roadie http://www.fmp.com |

Results of testing posts to yahoogroups from AOL
by Mark Sapiro May 12, 2014

May 12, 2014

I finally got around to testing this. I posted three times to my test Yahoo group from 'Mark Sapiro <my_aol_address(a)aol.com>'. One post with the group set to send replies to the group and one post with the group set to send replies to the sender and one post with the group set to send replies to the sender and the group. In all cases, the posts were sent with From: "Mark Sapiro my_aol_address(a)aol.com [my_yahoo_groupname]" <my_yahoo_groupname(a)yahoogroups.com> In the first … [View More]

MM-2.1.15: Small bug regarding the "request forgery check"
by Ralf Hildebrandt May 12, 2014

May 12, 2014

Today I check the subscribers list ("Membership Management... Section") on one of our lists and called up the legend using "Click here to include the legend for this table." After clicking on that link, the page did indeed display the legend, but the page now starts with: Error: The form lifetime has expired. (request forgery check) -- Ralf Hildebrandt Charite Universitätsmedizin Berlin ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de Campus Benjamin Franklin http://www.charite.de … [View More]

Yahoo forced browser update?
by Lindsay Haisley May 11, 2014

May 11, 2014

Does anyone know anything about this? And are there any connections between this forced browser update and Yahoo's DMARC implementation? http://yahoomail.tumblr.com/post/85155936276/an-update-to-yahoo-mails-suppo… -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works if you let it" FMP Computer Services | 512-259-1190 | - The Roadie http://www.fmp.com |

Private Archives Aren't Private
by Kevin Monceaux May 9, 2014

May 9, 2014

Fellow Mailman Users, I'm considering switching from Ecartis to Mailman to use some of Mailman's new features for dealing with DMARC. I have 2.1.18 installed via FreeBSD ports and have set up a test list. The list archives are set to private. When I visit the list info page it displays (The current archive is only available to the list members.) next to the archive link, but I can click the link and view the archives without being prompted to log in first. I'm probably overlooking something … [View More]

Can Someone Explain This?
by sherwin May 9, 2014

May 9, 2014

I am recently having trouble posting messages to Ibiblio from my AT&T mail account. There have been issues lately with AOL and Yahoo changing their headers, but I was not affected by this. My email postings to Ibiblio are being rejected with the following error: This is the mail system at host lists.ibiblio.org. I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below. For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster. … [View More]

mailman processor sponge?
by Ecklund, Morgan May 8, 2014

May 8, 2014

Hello Listers, I migrated to a VMware ESXI environment from an old P3/512 MB mailman server (RedHat/sendmail, mailman had been upgraded to 2.1.x (I think)). The new environment is CentoOS 6.2 Postfix Mailman 2.1.16rc2. Anyway the old server was a rock! The new mailman environment is a processor sponge (clearly not an all-natural hand collected sponge either) I will go over the entire process. After quite a bit of work with the migration (mostly because my learning curve with postfix) I got … [View More]
