Deleted initial mailman list
by DT Sept. 11, 2015

Sept. 11, 2015

Recently, I was troubleshooting another issue and decided to get rid of some old testing lists. I removed the mailman list that I initially created on setup. Looking through the archives, I found this thread - http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/msg30391.html - which basically says don't delete. The thread is from 2005, but does this still hold true? If so, can I simply issue a newlist command and recreate the mailman list or is there some other method? Thanks! DT

Potential "Bounce" Question
by Nancy C Sept. 10, 2015

Sept. 10, 2015

I am the admin for a group & some members frequently get warning messages like this: "Your current bounce score is 3.0 out of a maximum of 5.0" The subscriber has done nothing wrong & these messages are usually Hotmail, yahoo & aol accounts. What can be done to reduce / eliminate these messages? Thank you Nancy

Mailing List Bounce Problems
by Kevin Nowaczyk Sept. 10, 2015

Sept. 10, 2015

Hey everyone. The mailing list archive issue that I was inquiring about is a pretty low-volume list. When looking into the archive problem, i saw there were some messages listed in /var/lib/mailman/logs/post that I never received. When looking at the member list, most of my list members were no longer receiving emails due to excessive bounces. I have it set to notify the admin (my gmail account) when a user is disabled, but I've never received a notification. I enabled notification when a message I send to the list is sent out, and I receive that notification, but nobody receives the message. Admin emails from mailman go through just fine, but any message posted to the list does not. I have an IMAP email account on the same server which hosts the mailman instance, and it seems to get all my test messages that I post just fine, but all yahoo, windstream, gmail, etc get bounced. an example line from the /var/log/mail.info file is: Sep 10 12:49:21 bunsen postfix/smtp[4616]: 0DF621C375: to=<web-p6036h(a)mail-tester.com>, relay=mail-tester.com[94.23.206.89]:25, delay=2.6, delays=0.03/0.07/0.86/1.6, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host mail-tester.com[94.23.206.89] said: 550 Message Contains SUSPECT Content :: Please contact abuse(a)fortressitx.com for further information. (in reply to end of DATA command)) I've been using the services at mail-tester.com to ensure that my domain keys, DMARC, and SPF are all set well. You can see those results here (http://www.mail-tester.com/web-p6036H). I deleted the entire mailing list after exporting the 114 email address, and remade the list, and it behaves the same. The odd thing is, I have another mailing list on the same server with only 6 members, and it seems to be working fine! Any clue where to look? I've contacted abuse(a)fortressitx.com and received no reply. Thanks, Kevin Nowaczyk

Re: [Mailman-Users] Forbidden Mailman Archive

Changing this apache configuration allows me to see the archive. The archive only shows one message, one that I posted yesterday. There must have been some other permissions issue which prevented mailman from saving all the previous messages to the archive. Thanks for the help!

It looks like no archives are actually being created, despite the "yes" option being selected in the list configuration. My previous reply assumed that there had been successful posts to the list that weren't archived, but the "Forbidden" in the subject may imply that there have been no posts, but you are getting a 403 Forbidden status from apache when attempting to go to the archives. If this is the issue, the problem is probably that you have apache 2.4 and this > Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ > <Directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/public> > Options +FollowSymLinks > Order allow,deny > Allow from all > </Directory> needs to be Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ <Directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/public> Options +FollowSymLinks Require all granted </Directory> If that isn't the answer, but the issue is 403 Forbidden, what's in /var/log/apache2/lists-error.log? -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Forbidden Mailman Archive

This seems to be a somewhat common problem, so I've looked at the archives at all the suggestions, tried everything that is recent and nothing has worked. It looks like no archives are actually being created, despite the "yes" option being selected in the list configuration. Thanks for any help.

strange postings to non-existant lists
by Bruce Harrison Sept. 8, 2015

Sept. 8, 2015

For the last month or two, I get anywhere from 3 or 4 to 20 to 30 postings to non-existent lists on our mailman server. I've been reading of course about the subscribe spamming that folks have been talking about. Is this just someone poking at our mailman machine trying to find something to send spam to, or something more sinister? We use Microsoft filtering for spam, viruses, etc. so all mail I see comes from one of their servers. It's not causing any problems, but just strange to me. Comments?
