List DMARC compliance reconfiguration
by Andy Cravens 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

Using mailman 2.1.26. I’m auditing the lists on my server for DMARC compliance I’ve found several list configs that do not have the DMARC action set to “munge_from.” It appears I need to edit all those list and fix that setting. I’ve also noticed that in mm_cfg.py there is no setting for REMOVE_DMIM_HEADERS. I just wanted to verify the proper order for fixing these issues. Seems like I need to correct the munge_from setting for all the affected lists and them as quickly as possible add REMOVE_DKIM_HEADERS = 1 to mm_cfg.py and restart. It appears that which ever task I complete first some messages will be undeliverable until both changes are complete. Maybe it would be best to stop mailman, complete both changes and then restart? Just looking for the best way to do this.

Mailman with Interworx server administration
by Christian F Buser 04 Nov '19

Hi all Our hosting provider writes that he wants to change from cPanel to Interworx. At present, we have our virtual server on cPanel version 78.0.41, which includes Mailman version 2.1.27. I found a comparison of the two environments on this page <https://www.hostdime.com/kb/hd/interworx/interworx-for-cpanel-administrator…> stating > Important Differences: > ... > cPanel supports PostgreSQL, Mailman mailing lists, NodeJS, server-side > Java, Ruby on Rails and the DNSSEC protocol, but InterWorx does not > support those things at this time. However our provider thinks that Mailman could also be installed there. Does anybody have (positive or negative) experience with Interworx? Thank you, Christian -- Christian F.

I have no access to that and I just got another "has been removed" message this morning. Is there any way for a non-privileged mailman admin to figure out why? I didn't get any "bounce score incremented" messages for either unsubscribe. /Bernie\ Bernie Cosell bernie(a)fantasyfarm.com -- Too many people; too few sheep --

Subscriber password override?
by Lindsay Haisley 03 Nov '19

03 Nov '19

I have signed a neighbor up to a mailing list I administer. She's borderline computer literate and hates passwords, so I said I'd assign her a simple password. It seems that Mailman 2 doesn't allow the list administrator to assign passwords and I get "Error: The list administrator may not change the password for a user" when I try. Is there any way to override this? There should be, since passwords are as much for protection of the integrity of a list's subscriber base as they are for protection of a subscriber - and this is rightfully a concern of the list admin, as is helping subscribers who need some hand holding. -- Lindsay Haisley | "The only unchanging certainty FMP Computer Services | is the certainty of change" 512-259-1190 | http://www.fmp.com | - Ancient wisdom, all cultures

user unsubscribe
by Bernie Cosell 02 Nov '19

02 Nov '19

i received a notification that one of the users on my list was unsubscribed. I'm surprise because the configuration for the list specified that unsubscribes have to be approved, and this wasn't. How could that happen? /Bernie\ Bernie Cosell bernie(a)fantasyfarm.com -- Too many people; too few sheep --
