Running two list with same email prefix
by Andrea Cappelli 27 Feb '24

Hi all, I'm running a mail server with Debian Lenny, MTA is Postfix and i will use postfix-to-mailma.py script to run list I would set up Mailman for running mailing list with same email prefix on different domains, obvious with different list names For example we have ml.domain1.com and ml.domain2.net, i would like to have LISTADDRESS LISTNAME tech(a)ml.domain1.com tech-ml.domain1.com tech(a)ml.domain.2.net tech-ml.domain2.net In this way i can have the same address on differente domains and Mailman (my version is 2.1.11) can distinguish between lists because the list name is different. The list name will be also used to access web interface, so we have http://ml.domain1.com/mailman/admin/tech-ml.domain1.com http://ml.domain2.net/mailman/admin/tech-ml.domain2.net Is possible to accomplish this task? Any idea?

Hide list address?
by Ricardo Kleemann 17 Nov '23

17 Nov '23

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 05 Aug '23

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 to solve this? Thank you very much

Retrieve extra copy of Mailman bounces- report message?
by Thomas Gramstad 23 Jun '23

23 Jun '23

For one of my lists, I have a recurring problem of subscribers trying to post to the list by sending e-mail to the address listname-bounces@ . I solve that problem by manually sending the sender a standard message with info about the correct address, what they did wrong, and a copy of their posting so that they can send it to the correct address for the list. I get the sender's address and a copy of their attempted post from Mailman itself, since it reports such incidents to me. My question is: If I accidentally delete that report message from Mailman, is there a way I can retrieve or send myself a copy of it? Thomas Gramstad

Fwd: Duplicates To: address
by Martin Schumacher 15 Jun '23

15 Jun '23

Dear MailMan-Users, I am using MailMan version 2.1.39 I have just set up a Private Mailing List, and want any subscriber to email to the Email List, and their email be sent (un-moderated) to all the other List Subscribers. I have sent out just one email to this list, which would have gone to all nine (9) subscribers. One of the subscribers replied to my email, but in their email, in the “To:” box, the Email List address is repeated for each subscriber. (So it has the same MailingList Email address nine times in the “To:” box. I cannot find anywhere in the Configuration to stop this. (Or is this normal, and expected behaviour?) Regards, Martin

changes - need clarity
by Jeffrey Westgate 10 Jun '23

10 Jun '23

Greetings all. As I have time, I've been migrating to a new, updated, upgraded list server - from SciLin 7.9 / Mailman 2.1.20, to RHEL 8.7 and Mailman 2.1.39. I've done my best to 'match' the created file systems during the config/make phases, but their distribution between /usr/lib/ and /var/lib are different, and I'm wondering if I've missed something, or if I can just press forward with rsyncing the old to the new regardless of where they now lie, as long as the contents are correct. What I mean is: old structure new structure $ ls -l /var/lib/mailman/ | awk '{ print $NF }' $ ls -l /var/lib/mailman | awk '{ print $NF}' archives archives data data lists lists locks spam logs $ ls -l /usr/lib/mailman | awk '{ print $NF}' qfiles /var/lib/mailman/archives spam bin $ ls -l /usr/lib/mailman/ | awk '{ print $NF }' cgi-bin /var/lib/mailman/archives cron bin data cgi-bin icons cron lists icons locks mail logs Mailman mail messages Mailman pythonlib messages scripts pythonlib templates qfiles tests scripts spam templates tests so, it should work as long as old 'data' goes to new 'data', old 'qfiles' goes to new 'qfiles'... correct? -- Jeff ________________________________ From: mailman-users-request(a)python.org <mailman-users-request(a)python.org> Sent: Sunday, June 4, 2023 11:00 To: mailman-users(a)python.org <mailman-users(a)python.org> Subject: Mailman-Users Digest, Vol 232, Issue 2 Send Mailman-Users mailing list submissions to mailman-users(a)python.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.pyth…<https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to mailman-users-request(a)python.org You can reach the person managing the list at mailman-users-owner(a)python.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Mailman-Users digest..."

Size limit leads to rejection instead of moderation
by Thomas Gramstad 04 Jun '23

04 Jun '23

I have a size limit on postings to my mailing lists so that I can check and decide whether to approve or reject big postings. That is, they go to the moderation approval queue. However, a list has started to reject messages back to the sender, instead of putting them in the moderation queue. This is new, unexpected and unwanted behavior. I thought some list parameter may have been changed, but I have looked through the setting pages and I can't find where or what. How can I restore the desired behavior, that big messages are put in the moderation queue, and not automatically rejected? Thomas Gramstad

Hello, I cannot unsubscribe users. The dialog "unsubscribe selected" (after selecting) or massunsubscription appears to work, but that specific user/s are not removed from the list. Please advice.
