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!

Good Day
We are using mailman 3, and would like to whitelist a domain for acceptance
of messages as non-members.
It seems possible from my online searches, I have also tried with an online
python regex tester(https://www.regextester.com/94044), but I have not
managed to be successful.
Below are 2 examples I have tried
^.+(a)noldor\.co\.za$
^[a-zA-Z0-9_.+-]+@(?:(?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.)?[a-zA-Z]+\.)?noldor\.co\.za$
^.+(a)gmail.com$
^.*gmail\.com$
Regards

Hello list.
I'm receiving a lot of fake Subscription Requests and spend time to
discard them.
1. how can I "lock" lists not to receive requests except administrator's
mass subscription?
2. how can I mass discard those request from console?
Thank you in advance,
Nikos.
I have mailman 2.1.34 running on both RHEL 7 and CentOS 7. When mail
arrives from CentOS 7 the from header reads:
{sender's name} via {list name} <email address>
I don't know what I did to get that format. When mail arrives from RHEL
7 the from header has just some text. I'd like the RHEL 7 from header to
be the same but I cannot find how to do that. Can someone point me in
the right direction? TIA.

Assuming you don't use some kind of custom MemberAdaptor, all list
specific settings including list admin and moderator passwords, list
membership, member options, etc. are in the lists/LISTNAME/config.pck file.
The site admin and list creator passwords are files defined as
SITE_PW_FILE and LISTCREATOR_PW_FILE in Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py. The
defaults for these are /var/lib/mailman/data/adm.pw and
/var/lib/mailman/data/creator.pw. Also in /var/lib/mailman/data/ are
aliases and maybe virtual mappings for Mailman-Postfix integration, but
these can be updated on the new server by running Mailman's
bin/genaliases after moving the lists/* files. Other thinggs in data/
are installation specific and should not be moved.

We are in the process of upgrading our mailing server with a new
machine. This system is also running an updated version of the
operating system (RHEL-8 vs RHEL-6.)
We have numerous Mailman mailing lists, along with their associated
configurations, and archives. Fortunately, the archives are located on
a networked file system, so we don't have to move those files.
However, I would like to be able to just "copy and paste", if you
will, the entire configuration from one server to the other so that we
don't have to reconfigure anything. Is this possible? If so, are there
any detailed instructions for it posted anywhere?
Thanks!

Okay, upon reflection I think I figured out what happened here. I
replied to an existing thread but deleted the entirety of the message
thread and changed the subject entirely. I thought that started a new
message thread but perhaps the list software registers that as a reply
to an existing thread. I organize my email client by date and not by
thread so I would not see this. Apologizes to all if this is the case.
I'm told by my list subscriber the following:
a. He thinks that the Digest message formatting is messed-up as it
originally comes from the list, but he is not sure (reply messages might
be messing up the formatting).
b. He is using iPhone and Outlook for Apple email clients.
c. He is also experiencing quote marks (") and apostrophes (') being
turned into question marks (?) throughout the text of digest messages.
Is this mess a function of his Apple email clients, or a problem that
rests with the Mailman list management software?
Thanks,
Michael

I am running a listserv which was
recently moved to GNU Mailman 2.1.23
on a Dream Host server (I assume UNIX). I am encountering the
following
problem:
Please see
<https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Mailman%20is%20not%20Listserv>.
Replies to Digest messages (both MIME
and plain text) sometimes have
line breaks stripped from them. We have seen this so far with
both a
version of Microsoft Outlook and an email client program for
an Android
phone. As far as I know, the digest messages themselves
originally all
look fine when sent from the listserv.
Anyone know if there is anything I can do about this?
Use a different mail client that doesn't do this. Otherwse,
there's
nothing you can do to control what users mail clients do.
Bonus Question: I do not have command
prompt access -- only admin panel
access (listserv software is implemented through Dream Host).
Anything I
can do from the admin panel? What would I ask Dream Host to
change?
There is no change to the digests themselves that would mitigate
this
issue without breaking the way the original digests render.
Further, people shouldn't be replying to a digest. For a MIME
format
digest, they should open the individual message and reply to
that. For
the plain digest, they should just copy/paste relevant context
from the
digest into a new post to the list. Of course, training list
members to
do that is probably not possible ...
Hello everyone,
I am observing increased CPU(%) usage whenever a Mailman User Service
runs. The journal tells me that SELinux is preventing httpd from map
access on the
file /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/<list>/<date>/<page>.html. A
setroubleshoot service follows. This cycle repeats quickly, resulting
in a surge in CPU (%) usage.
Why am I getting AVC denials {map} associated with list archives? Any
ideas on how I should stabilize this?

Onyeibo
