The Service-Assistant of my hosting tried to solve, but did not found both of the default entries in mm_cfg.py. SMTPHOST = 'localhost' SMTPPORT = 0 So he's asking for accurate steps to handle SMTP Host Override (Plesk 12.5.x.). Also he wants to know, how to prevent overriding that values during next server-update. K.

Renaming a list
by Chris Nulk 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

Hello all, We have come up a few times where a list was created incorrectly. Normally, we catch the mistake, delete the list, and recreate it properly. However, there are times when the mistake is caught after having been in use. So, the delete and recreate is not available to use. I have a copy of Mark's clone_list command and it will allow us to rename lists. Which is great and not a problem for me. However, I am not the person normally involved with list creation, etc. Another group does it. Normally through the web interface which works well for them. Unless a mistake is made then they have to use the command line tools. Again, not a problem for me but that group has very limited knowledge of linux/unix and Mailman. I can easily train them to use the Mailman tools, however, ensuring they do the appropriate checks to avoid other problems is more difficult. Specifically, they can run the clone_list command but rebuilding the archives requires checking if the scrub_nondigest settings is No (this is explained in the clone_list help). What I have done is modify the clone_list command to combine the renaming/cloning of a list and include an option to rebuild the archives. However, the archives will not be rebuilt if the scrub_nondigest setting is Yes. Below my message is a diff of my changes to clone_list. While I try testing my changes on a test system, I would appreciate it if someone could take a look at my changes to ensure I am not off-base with my process.

Spam through my mailman?
by Michael Shulman 25 Mar '16

Hi, I am receiving spam to my list-owner address that appears to be sent from the same list-owner address. Here are some of the headers, anonymized a bit (google is there because my email is forwarded to my gmail address). Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of mailman-bounces(a)my.server.com designates MY.IP.ADDR.ESS as permitted sender) client-ip=MY.IP.ADDR.ESS; Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; dkim=pass header.i=(a)my.server.com; spf=pass (google.com: domain of mailman-bounces(a)my.server.com designates MY.IP.ADDR.ESS as permitted sender) smtp.mailfrom=mailman-bounces(a)my.server.com DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; q=dns/txt; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=my.server.com; s=mcmaildk; h=Sender:Content-Type:Date:Message-Id:MIME-Version:Subject:To:From; bh=(STUFF) Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=www.my.server.com) by my.server.com with esmtp (Exim 4.84) (envelope-from <mailman-bounces(a)my.server.com>) id 1ajRhe-0006bB-4A for listmaster(a)my.server.com; Fri, 25 Mar 2016 08:23:06 -0500 Received: from [SPAM.IP.ADDR.ESS] (helo=spammer.domain.com) by my.server.com with esmtp (Exim 4.84) (envelope-from <mylist-owner(a)my.server.com>) id 1ajRhW-0006b2-Jk for mylist-owner(a)my.server.com; Fri, 25 Mar 2016 08:23:00 -0500 From: A.

Is there some way that my mailman may be misconfigured that could be allowing the spammer to spam through it in this way? Or has my server been hacked? Thanks!! Mike

Subscribers being deleted
by Rafael Salasnik 20 Mar '16

20 Mar '16

On one of my lists 18 subscribers were deleted yesterday at the same time with no apparent reason. All the messages were in the format of: "xxxxx(a)xxxxx.xxx has been removed from xxxxxx." All addresses are aol, yahoo or hotmail/live. However other users with those accounts weren't removed For this group I have two lists. Some (but not all) belong to both lists but their subscriptions to the other list was not removed. Any thoughts/suggestions? Many thanks

Mass subscribe breaks MM 3.0.2
by treal tv 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Just got latest Mailman set up from git to replace the mailman-bundler one I was using. Everything seems to be working alright, except we can't use mass subscribe or unsubscribe anymore. I'm having trouble figuring out if this is a problem with me not setting the program up correctly or a MM 3.0.2 bug. could anyone provide some insight on our problem? The traceback ends in: File "/opt/mm3/postorius/src/postorius/views/list.py" in list_mass_subscribe 315. validate_email(email) Exception Type: NameError at /postorius/lists/(list@domain)/mass_subscribe/ Exception Value: global name 'validate_email' is not defined here is a dpaste of the output. http://dpaste.com/3YPPJ66
