don't see where the mail is disappearing to
by Dave Stevens 24 Aug '18

I've got a set of lists that work as announcement only and which have been working fine. Between yesterday and today something has changed that results in no mail being distributed. I'm on the distribution lists. When I look at the debian /var/log/mail.log tail I see notifications about the relevant lists with a suffix (queue active). I take it that this indicates that mail can be sent in principle, is that right? Any suggestions about where to look for more info welcome. D

Hi all, Members of lists I run that are all from a particular ISP aren't seeing messages they post to my lists. Someone sent me the below link. If this can be implemented by me on my lists how can I do it? https://www.lsoft.com/news/techtipLSV-issue2-2017.asp.

Sender address as footer field?
by Jayson Smith 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Hi, I run a mailing list where posters are supposed to put their Email address somewhere in their message to make private replies easier, but some don't, even after being reminded privately. A year or two ago I investigated putting the sender's Email address in the footer, but when I checked, that wasn't one of the substitutions that were available. If personalization is enabled I can give the Email address receiving the message, but not the sender. Are there any plans to include this as a substitution, or is there a simple patch which could be applied to source? Thanks, Jayson

Link in list message footer?

Is it possible to include an HTML link or links in the footer of list messages? We use mailman to send messages to parents of our students. We have our own mobile app and would love to be able to include a link to the app in both the Apple App store and the Google Play store if that is possible. Thanks in advance.

Digest members of one domain marked bouncing
by Peter Shute 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Recently we've had a lot of members from one particular domain ( bigpond.com/bigpond.com.au) marked bouncing, and it looks like it's only digest members who are affected. I haven't checked yet if all digest members from that domain are affected. We unticked their nomail box, but a few days later they're marked bouncing again. I'm guessing that for some reason, that mail server thinks our digest emails are spam. Any ideas what to do about this? Peter Shute

@signs in FORMs
by Bernie Cosell 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

I'm a bit confused [as always]. On the Member List page, all of the @signs that appear [e.g., in all the email addresses] are HTML encoded: The member "jojo(a)newhost.com" ends up in the FORM for the list as <INPUT name="jojo%40newhost.com_realname" type="TEXT" value="jojojo" size="22" > <INPUT name="user" type="HIDDEN" value="jojo%40newhost.com" > I see in web developer, that the fields are apparently submitted just that way: -----------------------------265001916915724 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="jojo%40newhost.com_realname" jojojo -----------------------------265001916915724 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="user" jojo%40newhost.com -----------------------------265001916915724 But I can't get my dumb program to update the member list [e.g., to turn on a 'mod' checkbox]. I'm busy debugging but I'm wondering: when my program submits the form fields, should it use the %40 form, or convert the fields back to @signs? [At the moment I can't get it to work either way but I'd like to know which is correct]. Thanks!! /Bernie\ Bernie Cosell bernie(a)fantasyfarm.com -- Too many people; too few sheep --
