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]

Retrieve extra copy of Mailman bounces- report message?
by Thomas Gramstad June 23, 2023

June 23, 2023

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 … [View More]

Fwd: Duplicates To: address
by Martin Schumacher June 15, 2023

June 15, 2023

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 … [View More]

changes - need clarity
by Jeffrey Westgate June 9, 2023

June 9, 2023

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 … [View More]

Size limit leads to rejection instead of moderation
by Thomas Gramstad June 3, 2023

June 3, 2023

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 … [View More]

As an admin, I cannot _unsubscribe_ users from one of my lists
by Wikinaut June 3, 2023

June 3, 2023

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.
