stopping cross posting?
by Adam Morris 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

Hi all, Not sure if I'm using the correct terminology. People send messages to a list I run as well as other lists that I have nothing to do with. When people reply to the message sent to other lists the replies go to my list as well as the list they replied to. Is there a way to stop this apart from asking people to only send the message to one list at a time? -- Adam Morris Jaws certified 2016 email: adam(a)damorris.com

I have the same issue, but the mailing list thread doesn't show, what you did to address this, only that it evidently ceased to be broken. Yours, Dominik Hoffmann

moderated usenet newsgroup gateway
by Gérald Niel 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

(repost, first post with a wrong address, sorry for the adminstrators/moderators) Hi to all, I’m new member of this liste. But no new user of mailman. I’m the administrator of public Usenet grisbi hierarchy <http://news.grisbi.org <http://news.grisbi.org/>> and the administrator of the grisbi’s mailing lists. I successfully use the mail to news gateway since a long time. I recently move both services to a new server and disable the news -> mail mailman’s gateway (via cron) for use news2mail feeds, then i preserve the original message-id. And gateway mail -> news with mailman. Everything works fine, except for the grisbi.info <http://grisbi.info/> moderated group. The moderation address is the mailing list hosted on the mailman. When message are approved for posting and published on the list it is not posted on the newsgroups. I’ve tried the both setting : Open list, moderated group or Moderated but nothing working. I don’t see connexion from mailman on the news server on approval. And message not relayed to the group. What i’m missing? I’ve look at the archive but don’t find anything can help me. Do I change something on the code? — Gérald Niel

Personalised mails, content very depending on mail client
by Henrik Rasmussen 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

As I am testing personalized mails from Mailman (2.1.12) I was wondering why various email clients display the content different. * If I send an HTML mail containing only text, both Gmail and Outlook includes personalization in msg_header "Hello %(user_name)s . This is a test" * If I send an HTML mail containing an image, Gmail shows "Hello [member's name]. This is a test" on top and the rest of the mail, including image, but Outlook only show the e-mail (including the image), NOT the msg_header not msg_footer. * If I use Outlook to email received on Gmail, using IMAP connection, "Hello [member's name]. This is a test" is displayed at the top of the received mail, but the content from the sender and the image is attached. My content filtering -> pass_mime_types are multipart/mixed multipart/alternative text/plain text/html but pass_mime_types shouldn't affect the mail as content filtering -> filter_content if off. Also collapse_alternatives or convert_html_to_plaintext doesn't change a thing (as content filtering -> filter_content if off). Is there something I, as site admin, or the list-admins can do, to get personalized HTML mails, even to Outlook users? Henrik Rasmussen

Relaying issues with Mailman and Postfix
by Fongaboo 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Running Postfix 2.11.7 on FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE. I am migrating a listserv on an older box to this one, running newly-installed Mailman 2.1.20. I found a one-pager that showed me what to tar up and move over to migrate my lists to the new instance of Mailman. Hostname is not changing, so that made this part fairly painless. However I think I'm not even getting that far yet. I'm running into a roadblock that I believe is strictly Postfix. So I take it that messages aren't even touching the new Mailman daemon yet. No matter what I do, I am getting relay errors when I send a message with the Subject 'help' to <listname>-request(a)lists.domain.tld, as such: Oct 3 14:12:20 <servername> postfix/smtpd[67338]: connect from mail.outsidedomain.tld[x.x.x.x] Oct 3 14:12:20 <servername> postfix/smtpd[67338]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT frommail.outsidedomain.tld[x.x.x.x]: 454 4.7.1 <listname-request(a)lists.domain.tld>: Relay access denied; from=<outsideuser(a)outsidedomain.tld> to=<listname-request(a)lists.domain.tld> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.outsidedomain.tld> But then additionally I'm noticing these entries as well: Oct 3 14:09:13 <servername> postfix/qmgr[49782]: warning: connect to transport private/mailman: No such file or directory Oct 3 14:09:14 <servername> postfix/error[67292]: E587C642A5F: to=<listname-bounces(a)lists.domain.tld>, relay=none, delay=4801, delays=4801/0.02/0/0.03, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (mail transport unavailable) I tried adding the following, but to no avail: main.cf: relay_recipient_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/relay_recipients transport_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/transport relay_recipients: (for each list) listname(a)lists.domain.tld OK listname-listname(a)lists.domain.tld OK listname-bounces(a)lists.domain.tld OK listname-confirm(a)lists.domain.tld OK listname-join(a)lists.domain.tld OK listname-leave(a)lists.domain.tld OK listname-owner(a)lists.domain.tld OK listname-request(a)lists.domain.tld OK listname-subscribe(a)lists.domain.tld OK listname-unsubscribe(a)lists.domain.tld OK transport: lists.domain.tld mailman: I then postmap'ed relay_recipients and transport and restarted postfix. Even restarted mailman for good measure. But no such luck. My only suspicion is that maybe in Postfix 2.11.7, I need to do something in MySQL/PostfixAdmin concerning this line in main.cf?: relay_domains = proxy:mysql:/usr/local/etc/postfix/mysql_relay_domains_maps.cf Any assistance or advice, as always, would be greatly appreciated! Thanx

Configure admin mail Return-Path
by Bryan Blackwell 04 Oct '16

04 Oct '16

Greetings, I have a functional Mailman 2.1.20 environment on Fedora 22 (I own and built the box). The native domain is skiblack.com, and I host corvair.org. The config and archives were copied over from the old server and normal list delivery works fine. I've had trouble delivering moderator request e-mail and found this error: Oct 3 08:00:29 tiger postfix/smtp[1851]: B63BC16541: to=<patiomatt(a)aol.com>, orig_to=<vv-help(a)corvair.org>, relay=mailin-04.mx.aol.com[152.163.0.100]:25, delay=25, delays=0/0/25/0.39, dsn=5.7.1, status=bounced (host mailin-04.mx.aol.com[152.163.0.100] said: 554 5.7.1 <mailman-bounces(a)localhost.localdomain>: Sender address rejected: Access denied (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) vv-help is a local alias that points to three separate addresses, we are the admins for the lists. Sending mail directly to the alias works fine. I think the issue is localhost.localdomain in the sender header, can someone tell me where that's configured?I've pasted the headers from a moderator e-mail below.
