Weird response from a subscriber's mail server
by Christian F Buser 25 Mar '17

Hi all I have a new problem with our mailing list (Mailman 2.1.23 on cPanel 62.0.17 where a subscriber's provider rejects messages from the list. Not the usual way, where the message simply bounces; here the original sender of the list message receives a notification as shown in the attachment. The receiving address is a subscriber of the list for a long time, but these messages started to show up just today. What can I do to solve the problem? Thank you, Christian -- Christian F.

when emailing my list the email is delivered as an attachment to a blank email
by Michael Demenis 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

Hi When sending an email to any of my newly created lists the email is delivered as a *subject*.eml file attached to an email that is otherwise blank except for the email footer. This happens whether I send text emails, html emails, I’ve read a few articles that have led me to the content filtering options, played around with a few of these options and not changed any of this behaviour, this still happens when content filter is disabled. This appears to be different from most user’s issues where the footer becomes the attachment, I’m getting the footer but the body is the attachment. If I set there to be no footer I still get the body as an attachment. In fact I’d much rather have the issue others have seen. I’m sure this is a simple setting somewhere but I can’t seem to find where it is, any help would be greatly appreciated. It would be much clearer for my users if these appeared as an email, rather than an attachment. Thanks in advance Mike

HI, is it possible to hide or rewrite subscriber E-mails ? So for example, user A posting a question on the list. User B answering, but user A is not able to see user B E-mail address. Will it be possible ? Cheers Zalezny

Hello :-) Gmail recipient anti spam filters get me mad. After some work, I have one list that reaches the gmail recipients, good! but I have an other list that get bounces. same server, same domain. I guess I forgot some setup on the other list comparing on the web interface is very difficult. is there a way to read these setups directly on the server in a config file where I could make a diff? thanks jdd

how to automatic update aliases and virtual maps in Postfix ?
by Zalezny Niezalezny 23 Mar '17

23 Mar '17

Hi, maybe somebody will be able to support me here. I have a Mailman 2 and Postfix 3.10 on Ubuntu. Since few hours I`m trying to configure automatic update of /etc/mailman/alias and /etc/mailman/virtual-mailman during creation of the new mailing list. In my Postfix main.cf I have configured everything as it was described in the documentation: alias_map = hash:/etc/mailman/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/mailman/virtual-mailman newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases (in redhat I have "newaliases.postfix" is this the same ?) In my /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py I have configured everything as in the documentation, for automatic update MTA='Postifx'. E-mail and URL was also configured, but its not the point. When I`m creating new mailing list, I would like to force Mailman to create automaticaly aliases in /etc/mailman/aliases /etc/mailman/virtual-mailman How to do it correctly. On Redhat everything is running but on Ubuntu... not. I will appreciate Your support. With kind regards Zalezny

an unrelated site's (cgi) access to mailman cmdline tools
by karrageorgiou.giannis＠yahoo.com 23 Mar '17

23 Mar '17

dear mailman team, I have a cgi program running under a site that is NOT the one hosting the mailman's web interface (i.e. both mail.[domain] (mailman) and www.[domain] are apache's virtual domains in the same system, but under DIFFERENT user/group directives) The cgi program must generate userinfo lists taking the email parts live from the list_members stdout; when the various lists/*/config.pck are world readable it works fine; but when their permissions are reset/recreated, it breaks. Notice that I am not talking about the group permissions, but world's. I even tried setting an acl giving the cgi/httpd user read permissions but again they get lost. since there is no way to have the main site under mailman's group, is there a way to make mailman processes not ruin the world or acl permissions on the */config.pck? (I mean natively, without resorting to suid wrappers or sudo tricks) thanks beforehand for any answer giannis

DMARC issue with Mailman List
by Terry Lund 22 Mar '17

22 Mar '17

We are getting the following error for one of our users in one of our mailman lists. I've tried to figure out if one of the configuration options in Privacy Rules can be used to address this issue, but I am afraid I am not real clear on the implications of the relevent DMARC related parameters. Any insight or assistance would be much appreciated. Our configuration is that our web site integration with PayPal has PayPal sending confirmation emails to a mailman list called treasurer-alias, so that multiple people are aware of the PayPal transaction. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: MAILER-DAEMON(a)bounce.mail.unifiedlayer.com To: treasurer-alias-bounces(a)catoctinareaturners.org Cc: Bcc: Date: 16 Mar 2017 02:55:28 -0000 Subject: failure notice Hi. This is the qmail-send program at bounce.mail.unifiedlayer.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up.
