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

Hi,
I have waited almost a year for AOL and Yahoo to admit that they messed up and to remove their DMARC policy. My AOL and Yahoo subscribers are pretty upset at me because I won’t let them post. A number now have two subscriptions, one for posting (from GMail) and another for receiving the messages.
So against my better judgement, I included this hack in Cleanse.py;
22c22
< from email.Utils import formataddr, parseaddr
—
>from email.Utils import formataddr
69,74d68
<
< # Added to deal with DMARC issuej
< name, addrs = parseaddr(msg.get('from'))
< addrs += '.invalid'
< del msg['from']
< msg['from'] = formataddr((name, addrs))
\ No newline at end of file
I found it in the discussion list.
I don’t get compile errors, but Cleanse.pyc is not being updated. I have stopped and restarted Mailman and I have also rebooted, but same non-action. I have not tried ‘compileall’ and am not eager to, either (permissions, where to invoke, etc). Any suggestions?
The host OS is Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 with Mailman 2.1.14
Yours,
Allan

Hi,
I have Mailman up and running. I just sent an e-mail to 5 lists and
the e-mail came duplicated to the recipients. I checked the header and
the only difference is the following:
1. Header:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.5 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00
autolearn=unavailable version=3.3.1
2. Header:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.5 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00
autolearn=ham version=3.3.1
How can a avoid duplicates in future? What is the reason?

Hi everybody!
I'm new to most of the fields related with this issue so, please, accept my
apologies in advance if the question or the way towards its answer is too
obvious!
I have a number of Maildir format mailing lists archives and I would like
to add them to the archives of the same lists created in a new Mailman
installation.
I find several messages/scripts doing the job the other way round
(mbox/pipermail/mailman to maildir), but nothing about Maildir to Mailman,
assumable by a "programming capabilities-less user".
Thanks for your time!!!

Are there any guidelines for adding authentication and /or authorization mechanisms to the Mailman web user interface?
Specifically, I was wondering if there is any kind of guidance for authenticating the user via an HTTP header (e.g. HTTP_REMOTE_USER) so that an authenticating reverse proxy could be placed in front of the Mailman web interface.
If there is no such built-in mechanism or pluggable mechanism, is there any kind of guidance on how the existing authentication mechanism might be replaced from a technical standpoint?
Thanks,

Hello,
We recently upgrade from Debian 5 to 6, and are now having issues with
Mailman. Messages are still flowing properly, but the web archives are not
being generated since the upgrade.
When I run 'bin/arch mylistname' I get the following:

We're running 2.1.13, but as you can see, the problem persists even with
the latest release. We're using the stock Debian Python (2.6.6), but
Mailman for tarballs.
Thanks for any info.

On the archive page of my mailman list the dates are not showing up
properly. It looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/IrmWnie.png
As you can see, instead of the date a string "%(date)s" is shown. It is
also worth noting, that it already worked properly. However, suddenly (at
least I cannot state when exactly) it stopped working and since then dates
are shown as seen in the screenshot.
The archives are generated with Pipermail 0.09 (Mailman edition).
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks and best,
Peter
Thank you Mark. About Vette list, I don't know if I have shell access. I have CPanel, and that is all I have used. Any way to check?
I will, in the meantime, try another subject, though somehow I don't think that is it, as I havenever set anything to discard. Anyway to check what my settings are within mailman, such as if I marked my name for automatic deletion by mistake?
