How to get the senders email address in the custom footer?
by Arlen Raasch Sept. 20, 2015

Sept. 20, 2015

I have recently acquired the responsibility of maintaining a small listserver with about 1000 users. We are using version 2.1.16 of Mailman. The emails that currently are sent out via the listserv server have headers that include the original sender's email address as the "From:" address. Yahoo's and Aol's DMARC policy causes these to bounce as our server is not one they recognize. I have seen many posts regarding this problem, but no actual solutions that told me what I should do. This is … [View More]

The subscriptions have also moved on to include addresses at SMS gateways after we added filters similar to what the thread suggested. In case others are also dealing with this at volume, some background on what the IETF mailman admin is doing: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tools-development/p4iI5kxO-J1LZR5CQLe… and … [View More]

Is there a way to create multiple lists at once via mailman script?
by Montanez, Victor Sept. 17, 2015

Sept. 17, 2015

Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to have several mailman lists created at once via command line. I am talking about 100 lists or so. Otherwise creating them through the GUI would take forever. Maybe creating a file with list name, password,etc and passing that file to the create binary? Anyone have any experience with that? Thanks in advance Victor Montañez

Ban list - correct regular expression?
by Clare Redstone Sept. 16, 2015

Sept. 16, 2015

I get lots of spam held for moderation from email addresses that begin Hayley@ . I go to the moderation queue, discard each email address and tick to ban that address from every subscribing. And to discard anything coming from that address automatically. It would save me a lot of time if I can have this happen automatically. But am not entirely sure how. I've tried adding ^hayley to the list of addresses banned from membership (subscription rules). And to the List of non-member addresses … [View More]

Is there a preferred owner and group of the MM2 directory "/usr/local/mailman?"
by Tom Browder Sept. 15, 2015

Sept. 15, 2015

The installation instructions are a little confusing, but I take away from them the best (almost default) choice for owner:group for the "/usr/local/mailman" ($prefix) directory is 'mailman'. Any other opinions or recommendations? Thanks. Best regards, -Tom
