accept_these_nonmembers and case sensitivity
by Ephraim Silverberg 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

In Mailman 2.1.17, a user is listed under Privacy options->Sender filters->accept_these_nonmembers as: someone@somedomain This individual sent a message to the list as: Someone@somedomain I.e. with the first letter of the username capitilised. Since Mailman's policy is LCE, I would expect the message to be sent to the list members seemlessly, but this is not what happened. >From the Exim logs, Mailman sent the sender and moderator a "Post by non-member to a members-only list" message, but also simultaneously sent the message to the list members WITHOUT the moderator having approved the message, giving the sender the impression that the message hadn't been sent out. _____________________________________ Ephraim Silverberg, CSE System Group, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.

Wrap Message and Munge From aren't happening
by Gretchen R Beck 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hi Folks, I have a new test mailman server running 2.1.18.1. It's got some customizations in it from our old 2.1.9 server. Everything seems to work except the DMARC policy -- specifically, if I send mail to a list from my yahoo address, it bounces if the DMARC moderation action for the list is set to Accept (expected), Wrap Message, or Munge From (unexpected) are set. I turned off the Outgoing queue runner and examined the captured messages, and frankly, the headers/message body all looks the same, not matter which option is set. Any suggestions, helpful hints, or things to poke at? Thanks much! Gretchen Beck Carnegie Mellon

Re: [Mailman-Users] Fwd: member receiving confirmation of messages?
by Laura Creighton 17 Jun '15

Sure. Go to the Membership Management tab. Then select the member you want. Turn the legend on for the table you get at the bottom, so you will see that 'ack' is the thing you want to change. Laura

Fwd: member receiving confirmation of messages?
by Adam Morris 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hi all, I know in a members options for a mailman list they can tick a box to be notified when a message they send gets to the list. Is there a way for me as administrator to change that for individual members? -- Adam Morris email: adam(a)damorris.com

permission for archives
by Lucio Chiappetti 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

I am running a few mailing lists with private archive on my machine. I see that /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/ contains two directories per list one named "listname" and the other one "listname.mbox". Owned by wwwrun.mailman, permissions drwxrwsr-x The listname directory contains one index.html owned by wwwrun.mailman while all other directories and text files are owned by mailman.mailman. The listname.mbox directory contains a single file with the same name. Now I noticed that at present such file is owned by me (lucio.staff) with permissions -rw-rw-r-- And I see in the log files some error messages like Jun 16 07:02:26 2015 (3112) Uncaught runner exception: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/fitsconv.mbox/fitsconv.mbox' I suspect this may be due to the fact a while ago I created some soft links from my own ~/.mail directory e.g. fitsconv.mbox -> /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/fitsconv.mbox/fitsconv.mbox (the links are owned by me and have lrwxrwxrwx) The idea was that I could, as administrator, access the entire sequence of messages of a list from my mail client (alpine), instead than with the web interface. Of course I'd just need read access, not write. 1) which are the correct permissions ? 2) apparently since the wrong permission were setup, archiving stopped to work. Is there a way to rebuild the archives from messages stored in personal folders (I am not sure I have all of them though !) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lucio Chiappetti - INAF/IASF - via Bassini 15 - I-20133 Milano (Italy) For more info : http://www.iasf-milano.inaf.it/~lucio/personal.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Do not like Firefox >=29 ?

Who sees "real names"?
by Peter Shute 14 Jun '15

14 Jun '15

I've had a request to join our list under a false name. If I enter their real name in the Member Name field so I can tell who they are, who else can ever see that? The member controls the display name used in list messages, don't they? Peter Shute Sent from my iPad

Hide email address of specific sender
by Andrew Hodgson 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hi, I have had a request from a specific sender that their email address be hidden from postings (kinda like what the munging in the DMARC action does). Is there a way to do this for this *one* member only? Mailman 2.1.20 here. Thanks. Andrew.

migrating lists from one host cPanel to another
by Annette Carter 05 Jun '15

05 Jun '15

I manage several non-profits that use Mailman lists. One of them may be moving their domain from HostGator to BlueHost, both having cPanels. Can you direct me how I can migrate the lists from one to the other without having to build them from scratch? The domain will end up being the same, although I have a temporary name for the new one. Thank you in advance.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman-Users Digest, Vol 136, Issue 5

There's a link within cPanel's WHM (WebHost Manager, under "Transfers") for moving accounts between servers. I've never used it, but I would suspect/hope that it will transfer the Mailman lists for you, as long as you haven't modified the default installations.
