Add "sender's name/email" to BODY of mail as header?

by Mal

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! Mal

Mailman CGI Error-Group mismatch error

by Wang, Mary Y

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 Mary

Find a smtp server to send out emails

by Leon

Hi, This problem is not caused by mailman, but I still want to give it a shot here. I'm hosting a mailing list on top of mailman. Emails are supposed to be sent out by AWS ses. However, ses requires that sender address must be verified, which leads to a problem that emails sent by subscribers to mailing list cannot be sent to other subcirbers, since their addresses are not verified. And it is impossible to verified every subscriber. Are there smtp service providers allowing unverified email address to send out emails, or do I have other solutions? Thanks. Leon

rejecting messages with any HTML

by Jason A. Donenfeld

Hi, I run several mailing lists over at lists.zx2c4.com using mailman 2.1.30rc1. I would like to reject incoming messages that have any HTML parts in them at all. Or, perhaps, I'd like to whitelist a few different mimetypes, and reject incoming messages with parts that don't match. I noticed that mailman has a feature to strip out disallowed mimetypes, and also to reject messages that are empty after such stripping. But I could not find a button to reject the entire message (with a nice reject reply, preferably) based on the presence of a certain mimetype. Am I missing something? I should note that this isn't an unusual desire. Several kernel-orienting lists, such as netdev(a)vger.kernel.org, will reject your message if it has HTML in any part of it, and send you back an email letting you know what happened. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Jason

Handling Munged From Addresses

by Dennis Putnam

I think this may have been addressed but I can't find it. Now that I am munging the from address to mitigate DMARC, recipients can no longer tell who the message is from. What are other folks doing to handle that? Other than having list members add their own signature? Thanks.

multiple explicit reply addresses?

by Bernie Cosell

I don't want to break my lists, so I'll ask first..:o) Does mailman do the right thing if I want explicit replies to go to two addresses? It seems very explicit that the explicit reply address is singular.. would making it e1(a)x.com, e2(a)y.com work? /Bernie\ Bernie Cosell bernie(a)fantasyfarm.com -- Too many people; too few sheep --
