I want all mails sent to the list to come from the list's email address...
But, in this case, if the user forgets to sign their name at the
bottom of their mail body, effectively the mail to the list is
anonymous...!
Is there a way to add the user name (or email address) to the top of
each mail so that the mails have the name of the sender, while the
mail itself comes from the list address?
I have looked high and low for an answer, but noone seems to have the solution.
Thank you!

Hi,
I received the following error this morning. So I rerun configure again with the following command: ./configure --with-cgi-id=apache --prefix=/var/mailman. I'm still getting the same error. Is there any place that I can look for so that I can debug this problem better? Perhaps, looking at the config history file or something. Any other places that I can check the cause of this error?
"Mailman CGI error!!!
The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored in your syslog:
Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the CGI
wrapper script to be executed as group "nobody", but
the system's web server executed the CGI script as
group "apache". Try tweaking the web server to run the
script as group "nobody", or re-run configure,
providing the command line option `--with-cgi-gid=apache'."
Thanks

If ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX is set to 0 in mm_cfg.py, Mailman will not
create/update LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox files.

Lots of information is lost if there is no .mbox file.
You can do as well as anything with
cat /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/kinejapan/*.txt > kinejapan.mbox

Hi,
I am trying to install version 3.0.0b4 of Mailman on Debian 7 and for that purpose I took the original tar.gz file and ran:
sudo python setup.py install
There was an issue with the version of zope.interface which I resolved by running the following command:
sudo pip install -U zope.interface
Now Mailman got correctly installed but when doesn't seem to run. This is the output when I run the mailman command on its own:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/mailman", line 9, in <module>

Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong? Did I maybe forgot to do something or am I missing anything?
Thanks for the hints

Hi,
We're currently running Mailman 2.1.12
I have been asked if we can customized message for addresses that are
banned on certain lists, similar to the ability to customize
postheld.txt for specific lists. We have a group of lists that we would
like to limit membership to our domain but would like to have a little
more explanation than the default message provides. For the general
case the default is fine, but for a subset some customizing would great.
I did some looking around in the source tree and this doesn't seem that
this is possible, but I don't claim to be a Python expert, so it seems
worth checking.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
thanx

Never mind. This was my mistake. Those headers are added by my webhost when
it receives the email from the list.
Yes, I feel a little silly for so completely misunderstanding what was
going on... :)
Hi All,
I'd like to insure that sender's email addresses don't appear in any
headers.
I've set both anonymous_list and first_strip_reply_to to true.
Despite this, I'm seeing the following when I view headers:
X-Original-To: myaddress(a)mydomain.com
Received: from zapata.dreamhost.com (zapata.dreamhost.com [66.33.216.56])
by homiemail-mx17.g.dreamhost.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9E6524115BD16
for <myaddress(a)mydomain.com>; Sat, 28 Jun 2014 05:05:57 -0700 (PDT)
How can I prevent this?
Thanks,
Douglas
Hello,
I am runningseveral mailing lists with mailman version 2.1.18-1. Oneof
my mailing lists does not ever show the sender's name in the From:
headerfor DMARC domain policy=reject while the rest of my lists do show
the sender's name in the From: header. I have compared the individual
list settings and cannot find anything different. The list settings for
the list that isn't showing the sender's name are as follows_:
_General Options:
from_is_list = No
anonymous_list = No
first_strip_reply_to = No
reply_goes_to_list = "This list"
Privacy options > Sender filters:
dmarc_moderation_action = Munge From
dmarc_quarantine_moderation_action = Yes
My understanding is that one of the following should be displayed for a
DMARC domainpolicy=reject:
The author's display name fromtheir From: header
or;
If none and from a list member, the members real name from the
membership list
or;
If none, at least the local part of the emailaddress.
Does anybody have any idea what setting that I need to change to fix this?
Thanks,
Gordon
Hi,
Mailman version: 2.1.12-18
host: RH6 64-bit
I have set up to hold non-member sender to a mailing list in mailman, I
can see the message being help. But the moderator does not get an email
notice right away, I would take a day before the moderator receives the
moderation request.
Where should I set it so that the moderation email is sent right away as
soon as mailman receives the email from a non-member?

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to Python, Mailman and Virtual Environments so please excuse any
silly questions...
I have an existing python app running on my webserver at:
subdomain.mydomain.com
I have additionally installed mailman and the ui which is available on port
8000 via lynx on the command line at:
lynx 127.0.0.1:8000
I had to install this in a virtual environment as the python version was
different to the original app/what was available in yum.
What I can't do is now get mailman's ui to show up on anything but the
localhost.
How do I direct either
subdomain.mydomain.com:8000
or
subdomain2.mydomain.com
to the mailman interface?
I can't quite seem to work out why its only listening on localhost:
> netstat -anp | grep 80
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3780/python
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8001 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2608/python
tcp 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 3849/httpd
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Lauren
