footer format
by Kim, DongInn 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

Hi, Is there a way to keep the footer format (or layout)? In the most emails, the footer format is fine but when a user uses digital signature (pgp or S/MIME), it surely breaks the format. It seems that it is possible that the format is broken regardless of the signature issue but I can not track down this case. For example, the broken format looks like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hwukqz2iuqa18cg/Screenshot%202016-12-12%2017.47.1… The right format looks like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7tqfdxvjb6hxqbg/Screenshot%202016-12-12%2017.48.0… Maybe, can we use <pre> tag around the footer for the html format of email? Regards, -- - DongInn

formatting issue?
by Dave Stevens 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

I'm trying to subscribe to a list by sending to <listname>-request(a)domain.tld with a blank subject line and then two subscribe commands in the body, like this subscribe=address(a)domain.tld subscribe=phonenumber(a)phoneprovider.com the second command phonenumber is formatted as nnn-nnn-nnnn Mailman rejects the second line saying "unprocessed" I don't know why. Do I need to use a different format? Dave -- Reporter to Mahatma Ghandi after his tour of east London "What do you think of western civilization, Mr. Ghandi?"

Root URL / vs /listinfo?
by Caesar Samsi 11 Dec '16

11 Dec '16

Hi, I have two installations of mailman. One is version 2.1.18 the other is version 2.1.23 Both apache2.conf, 000-default.conf, default-ssl.conf, and mailman.conf have the same content (they were copied), except for the relevant host specific entries. The 2.1.18 resolves http://www.mydomain.com <http://www.mydomain.com/> to https://www.mydomain.com <https://www.mydomain.com/> and displays the listinfo page (expected as there’s a ScriptAlias / /…/…/listinfo) I’ve tried many things in the RedirectPermanent directive but nothing seems to work to get the 2.1.23 to resolve to / This happens when I try to reach mailman with http://mail.mydomain.com/ <http://mail.mydomain.com/> Thank you, Caesar.

Smart quotes are not properly encoded in mbox
by Kim, DongInn 11 Dec '16

11 Dec '16

Hi guys, Is there a way to display/keep smart quotes (for example ‘Apple’ and “Banana”) properly in mailing list’s mbox? It seems that the smart quotes at the example above are saved with uni-hex code. > =E2=80=98Apple=E2=80=99 > =E2=80=9CBanana=E2=80=9D The received email from the mailing list do not have this kind of issue though. The smart quotes feature can be disabled with the following instruction on Mac but I do not think that it is a good idea to have all the Mac subscribers disable smart quotes only for mailman. http://www.iclarified.com/38772/how-to-disable-curly-quotes-in-mac-os-x-mav… Regards, -- - DongInn

pending status in mailman subscribe log file
by Dave Stevens 10 Dec '16

10 Dec '16

in a new setup I have a problem with the would-be subscriber sending to list-request and the /var/log/mailman/subscribe file shows the request at an appropriate place with the correct info and status "pending" The user has not received a verification email. Where should I look to see what has happened? I've checked the mailman administration page for that list and see no pending admin tasks. Mailman 2.1.16 on a ubuntu 14.04 system.

Regular subscriber receiving both regular and digest delivery
by Brian Austin 09 Dec '16

09 Dec '16

Running Mailman 2.1.12 on CentOS 6.8. We have a regular-delivery subscriber who is somehow receiving both regular and digest delivery for the same list. She only wants regular delivery. Here’s what we’ve checked so far: * Looked at Mailman’s web interface. Confirmed user is listed there as a non-digest, plain text subscriber * Double-checked by running the # list_members –r <listname> command. Reran with the –d option. Output matched results above. * Several people at her office are subscribers. Asked user if she receives mail on behalf of any current/former coworkers. She said no. * In case user misunderstood what “digest” means, asked her to forward us a copy of a recent delivery. Sure enough, it’s the digest. * Restarted Mailman via # sudo /etc/init.d/mailman restart * Manually unsubscribed user via remove_members and re-added her for regular delivery * Checked /var/log/mailman to see if anything useful there. Didn’t find anything relevant to the problem. Going forward: It’s very possible I’ve overlooked something basic. Would be nice to see “under the hood” how Mailman is handling the user’s subscription. Am guessing there’s a way but am a fairly newbie sysadmin and am not familiar enough with Mailman to know. Any suggestions on how to pin down and solve the problem? Thanks in advance for your time and advice. Brian

Hi Y'all, I'm administrator/moderator of several Mailman mailing lists through my hosting service hostmonster.com. One of the lists MBRS(a)OptimistClubOfStAndrews.org <mailto:MBRS@OptimistClubOfStAndrews.org> is bouncing to addresses with sc.rr.com and earthlink.com domains. I've deleted and rebuilt the list at least once, more I think. The bounces continue. How can I fix the problem? TIA, >don< Donald R Keating DBS Company www.dbscompany.com <http://www.dbscompany.com> 803-312-4246 Phone 800-513-2321 Fax 800-513-2321 Fax

Unable to delete moderation request
by Caesar Samsi 08 Dec '16

08 Dec '16

Hi, I have a single moderation notification for a message that was sent to the default mailman alias. I clicked on the “Delete” radio button and hit “Submit all data”. The page refreshes but the moderation notification is still there. Questions: 1. How do I fix the situation where the notification isn’t removed (presumably by deleting the notification)? 2. How do I delete the notification? Thank you, Caesar.
