I want all mails sent to the list to come from the list's email address...
But, in this case, if the user forgets to sign their name at the
bottom of their mail body, effectively the mail to the list is
anonymous...!
Is there a way to add the user name (or email address) to the top of
each mail so that the mails have the name of the sender, while the
mail itself comes from the list address?
I have looked high and low for an answer, but noone seems to have the solution.
Thank you!

Hi,
I received the following error this morning. So I rerun configure again with the following command: ./configure --with-cgi-id=apache --prefix=/var/mailman. I'm still getting the same error. Is there any place that I can look for so that I can debug this problem better? Perhaps, looking at the config history file or something. Any other places that I can check the cause of this error?
"Mailman CGI error!!!
The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored in your syslog:
Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the CGI
wrapper script to be executed as group "nobody", but
the system's web server executed the CGI script as
group "apache". Try tweaking the web server to run the
script as group "nobody", or re-run configure,
providing the command line option `--with-cgi-gid=apache'."
Thanks

Is there an efficient way to change the domain name that mailman is
affiliated with?
I have two mailing lists that were created for an organization before
that organization had their own domain. At the time the organization was
sure they did not want their own domain and would not be getting a
domain.
Since then, they have chosen to get a domain and set up a web site.
I would like to move their mailing lists onto their domain. It looks
like the process for this is:
1) get the list of subscribers
2) delete the mailing list from the one domain (losing the archives)
3) create the mailing list on the new domain
4) subscribe the list of subscribers
This process doesn't seem too difficult, but I would prefer to keep the
archives, if possible.
Both domains are on the same server, running CentOS7 and PLESK 12.5, if
that makes a difference.
Thanks,
Keith
I have about 100 mailing lists all using the domain name tunedinweb.com. All
the commands to subscribe, etc, come to something(a)tunedinweb.com which come
to my server and are processed by mailman.
But I also have real email boxes @tunedinweb.com. Those are hosted off my
server. So in order to make both mailman and my email work I have postfix
configured with tunedinweb.com listed in the mydomains file, but have setup
a transport file to tell postfix to redirect any email for
something(a)tunedinweb.com to the server where that email is hosted. With
lines in transport that look like this:
steve(a)tunedinweb.com smtp:mx.emailsrvr.com
stevew(a)tunedinweb.com smtp:mx.emailsrvr.com
This is all working fine.
The issue is that my email address steve(a)tunedinweb.com is also a member of
several mailing lists. When mailman tries to send to steve(a)tunedinweb.com I
see this error message in the postfix log /var/log/maillog:
Jun 6 17:02:08 166941-web1 postfix/smtpd[25836]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
localhost[127.0.0.1]: 550 5.1.1 <steve(a)tunedinweb.com>: Recipient address
rejected: User unknown in local recipient table;
from=<tunedin-temp-bounces+steve=tunedinweb.com(a)tunedinweb.com>
to=<steve(a)tunedinweb.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<166941-web1.tunedinweb.com>
So it seems that mailman is not respecting the /etc/postfix transport file
settings. I want mailman to send mail for those addresses specified in the
transport file to the server where that email is hosted.
I must be missing something. Can someone explain what is going wrong.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi There,
I see General List Information which is specific to the list, but wanting a global page to use for when there are a large number of lists.
Thanks you, Caesar.
Hi,
I’m running Mailman version 2.1.14 on an Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS build, with Postfix MTA.
I recently noticed up to one hour delays between Postfix delivering messages to command "/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post [listname]", and Mailman effectively sending out the message to list members (as evidenced in Postfix log file, email headers, and Mailman logs).
The delays are consistent in that each posted message, to any list and with any number of subscriptions (between 1 and 250), is delayed by at least 20 minutes.
The Mailman "post" log file /var/log/mailman/post does not indicate the message being posted, until the message is finally being sent out up to one hour after the post.
However, the list’s archives, as well as the list’s digest.mbox file, DO contain the posted message immediately after posting, confirming that Mailman did instantly receive the message from Postfix.
Similarly, email notifications to admin (new list, memberships, …) suffer from the same delays.
There are no errors found in the qrunner, mischief, or smtp log files that give pointers as to why this happens.
The system is not under any load to speak of, and Postfix is running fine otherwise, delivering mail to local users and remote recipients instantly. The mail queue is virtually empty.
Would running separate, verbose instances of qrunner possibly give me any insight, and how should I go about this? Any input is appreciated.
Regards,
Nicolas
Hi,
I'm looking for an easy way, as site administrator, to send a message to
all list administrators. Is there any possibility to set up a
autogenerated list with all list administrators of the site or another
smooth solution?
Regards,
Martin

https://httpoxy.org/ seems to impact any python program (among many

is a reasonable mitigation?

I have received several bounce notices for subscribers of my list with

I asked my provider for help about this, and he wrote back:
"from what I can see from the text files you sent me, it's a matter of
the mailing list configuration.
The sender ( From: ) needs to be set as the mailing list address and not
as the original sender (eg, ekxxxxxka(a)yahoo.com)
Read here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/postmaster/SLN7253.html
- but all mailing lists I know usually have the original sender's name
in the From-field...
So what am I doing wrong here?
My list runs on the cPanel 56.0.28 version of Mailman 2.1.20
Thank you, Christian

I've been running a number of mailing lists for quite a while and never noticed any problems until I setup one which has some yahoo and hotmail addresses on it. Now I have to deal with the DMARC problem. :(
Looking at:
https://wiki.list.org/DEV/DMARC
I see it says:
> In 2.1.16 a from_is_list feature was implemented which if enabled by a site configuration option would offer a list admin the ability to either:
>
> • Rewrite (Munge) the From: header with the posters name 'via the list' and the list's address and merge the poster's address into Reply-To: or
> • Wrap the message as a message/rfc822 sub-part in a MIME format outer message with From: and Reply-To: as above.
I'm running 2.1.17 and the only thing I see which seems related to this is the "anonymous list" option under General Options. Is this what's being referred to here, or is there some other "site configuration" (i.e., per-site configuration?) method somewhere?
