Currently, I administer all the mail lists and so this works well.
Going forward, I would like to make the list ownership of each list to the relevant project manager. So, the -admin, -bounce, etc of every list will have to go to a different email.
My Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py looks like below. This was done from my previous posting in this discussion forum. # Envelope sender (bounces) is always the site list. envsender = 'mailman@name.com'
Is it possible for : lista -admin -bounce -owner -confirm etc to go to name1@name.com listb -admin -bounce -owner -confirm etc to go to name2@name.com listc -admin -bounce -owner -confirm etc to go to name3@name.com
I have looked at the post at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-February/049229.html> and the surrounding thread. I am still a bit hazy on this as it relates to the -admin, -owner, -confirm, etc. addresses since the SMTPDirect.py modification only deals with bounces by effectively replacing the -bounces address with the address of the site list.
The prior thread seems to indicate that using aliases was problematic because more than one server was involved and you didn't have access to the incoming mail server for the domain. If it is the case that all the list mail comes to your server somehow and is then delivered to Mailman via aliases, then as Patrick suggests, you can use these aliases to send the mail anywhere you want.
If you want to address just bounces in the same manner as your current SMTPDirect.py modification that changes
# Calculate the non-VERP envelope sender.
envsender = msgdata.get('envsender')
if envsender is None:
if mlist:
envsender = mlist.GetBouncesEmail()
else:
envsender = Utils.get_site_email(extra='bounces')to
# Envelope sender (bounces) is always the site list.
envsender = 'mailman@example.com'You could instead change it to
# Envelope sender (bounces) is always the first list owner.
if mlist:
envsender = mlist.owner[0]
else:
envsender = 'mailman@example.com'This would set the envelope sender of any message sent on behalf of a list to the first address in the 'owner' attribute, and set it to the fixed address if there wasn't a specific list involved.
