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).

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.

Using cronjob to remove and add members to a mailing list
by Jerry Barnabee Aug. 10, 2022

Aug. 10, 2022

I want to be able to run a cronjob on my server that uses a php script to add new users and/or remove users from a mailing list. Not having any luck finding any simple examples. My thought is that the php script would get email addresses from a database (which I can do) and then feed them to a mailman command line to either add or remove a user. The cronjob is entered via Cpanel. Have several cronjobs that modify databases but have never tried something that would actually execute a unix command. Thanks, Pineyscripter

Mailman3 - from Whoosh to Xapian
by Kimmo L. July 5, 2022

July 5, 2022

Hello! My idea/plan is to replace Whoosh with Xapian. So far i have added this line inside settings.py: 'ENGINE': 'xapian_backend.XapianEngine', and installed pip package: pip install xapian-haystack Put i think its not enough and im missing something. If i try to do use "mailman-web rebuild_index", then i get some error messages: File "/opt/mailman/venv/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/xapian_backend.py", line 23, in <module> import xapian ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xapian' … [View More]

Held message notifications are not being sent to moderators
by Bruce Johnson June 22, 2022

June 22, 2022

We have numerous lists set as announcement lists by setting all members as moderated. However the moderators are not getting notifications for held messages; only the list owner is getting the notifications. This is a new-ish phenomenon, since I know they used to be sent to all the moderators, too. I can see the held messages in the vette logfile, and the smtp logfile shows the message to the list owner being sent, twice, but that’s it. vette: Jun 22 11:02:39 2022 (1248) Faculty post from … [View More]

Approved postings are not being delivered
by Francis Jayakanth June 22, 2022

June 22, 2022

Hi, I moderate and administrate a professional discussion list with about 6,000 subscribers. Most of the subscribers use Gmail, Yahoo, or other free email services. In the recent past, approved list postings are not being delivered to Gmail and Yahoo. I have subscribed to the list using my Gmail, Yahoo, and official email ids. I receive approved list messages only to my official email id, but not to my other two email ids. Our network support team tells me that the issue is because of the … [View More]

Odd issue after setting Mailman to use https by default.
by Bruce Johnson June 21, 2022

June 21, 2022

Last week I got a notification from our SSL cert provider that the cert for our mailman server was expiring, so I renewed it, and realized that when I rebuilt the server last year I didn’t actually enable it in Apache. So I did, and added a rewrite rule in the httpd.conf to force all traffic to use https. After that, whenever a moderator or admin tried to submit a response for a held message, we would get a pop-up stating that “This form is insecure” , if we proceeded, the form submitted but … [View More]

What can cause "Munge From" (from_is_list) to have no effect?
by Mark Hills June 18, 2022

June 18, 2022

I'm having trouble with a Mailman install which I maintain for a charity (2.1.39_1 on FreeBSD 12.3-p5) In diagnosing a DMARC "FAIL" reported in Gmail I notice that some settings are having absolutely no effect: from_is_list dmarc_moderation_action dmarc_quarantine_moderation_action dmarc_none_moderation_action So in my testing today, at no point have I been able to get Mailman to "Munge From" or "Wrap Message" in any way. Other nearby settings work, so I am able to change the … [View More]

Web links in templates - is this non-default?
by Andy Smith June 18, 2022

June 18, 2022

Hi, From Mailman 2 I am used to various administrative emails having web links in them for ease of use. For example, when confirming your subscription to a list I am used to the confirmation email having both an embedded code for replying back and also a link to the web interface for confirming by web. On a new install of mailman3-full on Debian 11 I am not seeing any web links, only text regarding replying by email, how to change options by email, etc. Am I right in thinking that this is … [View More]
