Editing Mailman's text files
by Pete Bell May 8, 2024

May 8, 2024

Hi. I'm a new member of this group but have been running an email list with Mailman for a long time. I am now setting a list up again and want to give a "look and feel" to the list which has more branding of my user group as a whole, and less of a Mailman-feel. I seem to remember that besides editing the public HTML pages, it is possible to edit the text files which Mailman automatically sends out for certain needs (such as 'approve.txt', 'adminsubscribeack.txt', 'invite.txt', and so on). A.… [View More]

Hide list address?
by Ricardo Kleemann Nov. 16, 2023

Nov. 16, 2023

Hi, Is there any way to configure Mailman such that, for an announcement-only type list, when a message is sent to the list, the To: shows the member's address, rather than the list address? Some list software allows the ability to hide the list address itself, so that address is not advertised. I couldn't find any configuration specific to that.

Hevy resource footprint forces backdrop to mailman 2.1
by Martin Lorenz Aug. 5, 2023

Aug. 5, 2023

Greetings, after many years of smoothly running a mailman2 instance I had to migrate my virtual server to a new provider. There I found, that mailman2 was no longer supported and tried to migrate to mailman3 .. with much pain and no success. Mailman3 keeps crashing my v-server and swallows almost every mail sent to any of the migrated lists. So I wanted to switch back to mailman 2.1.39 by installing from the source package and found that this also fails due to missing python2 support. How … [View More]

mod_ruid2 and jail apache affects on mailman
by jason＠fayre.me Oct. 29, 2022

Oct. 29, 2022

Hi, On our cPanel server, I'm getting the following message in the security advisor: Apache vhosts are not segmented or chroot()ed. Enable "mod_ruid2" in the "EasyApache 4" area, enable "Jail Apache" in the "Tweak Settings" area, and change users to jailshell in the "Manage Shell Access" area. Consider a more robust solution by using "CageFS on CloudLinux". Note that this may break the ability to access mailman via Apache. I'm concerned about the mention of breaking Mailman via apache. … [View More]

More on AT&T Policies - Allowing Through Daily Digests
by Michael Reeder -- Hygeia MS Oct. 22, 2022

Oct. 22, 2022

FYI for those plagued by AT&T "spam" management policies: I've continued to monitor my own test AT&T email account. I've recently noticed that AT&T in september started: a) letting through a very few list emails again to my inbox, b) letting a few more list messages through to my spam folder, c) continued to block most list messages entirely, and d) **ALLOWED THROUGH ALL DAILY DIGEST EMAILS!** So if there are 15 messages in a day -- 2 will make it to the Inbox, 3 will make it to … [View More]

restoring a deleted list
by Bruce Johnson Oct. 21, 2022

Oct. 21, 2022

I deleted a bunch of old lists on our server a while back; found any list that had no messages in the last two years and deleted via rmlist, but first I copied all the list files in /var/lib/mailman/lists to a different archive directory, just in case. Now 3 months later I’ve gotten a question from someone about "where did this list go?” How can I restore the list? Is it just a matter of creating a new list with the old name, then replacing the files in that directory with the archived ones? … [View More]

AOL -- Automatically Sending List to Spam Folder
by Michael Reeder -- Hygeia MS Oct. 20, 2022

Oct. 20, 2022

*It looks like AOL is now automatically adding our Clinicians Exchange list messages to the Spam Folder. * I don't know yet if this is happening for all AOL members. When I created an AOL account today, it did this from moment one. I just individually emailed all our AOL members from outside the list with directions on how to get into their Spam Folder. They need to click the checkbox to the left of messages that are not spam, then click on the "OK" icon above the message … [View More]

Duplicate emails being received
by Mark Dale Oct. 18, 2022

Oct. 18, 2022

Hi, I've got a list with ~1600 subscribers (Mailman 2.1.39). It gets one or two messages posted to it each day (by subscribers). The problem: subscribers are all receiving duplicate copies of the original post and any replies. All the subscribers are have "nodupes" switched on, and the list is set to replies to go to "This list". I restarted the qrunner with: bin/mailmanctl -s restart That seemed to resolve things for a moment but then it started up again. Does anyone have any tips or pointers? Cheers.
