Hi,
I recently set up a mailman server for internal use and as list owner I am getting confirmation emails for every posting even though I set DEFAULT_GENERIC_NONMEMBER_ACTION = 0 in all the lists and restarted mailman.
I'm missing something here. How do I get it to accept all emails from non-members without list owner intervention?
Thanks

DEFAULT_GENERIC_NONMEMBER_ACTION is the default setting for newly created lists. Changing it has no effect on any existing list.
Go to the web admin interface Privacy options... -> Sender filters and set generic_nonmember_action to Accept or use bin/config_list to set
generic_nonmember_action = 0
for the list.

Thanks mark,
I did that and it still does it. looking at the config shows it as 0 as well. I even restarted mailman. that's what has me baffled. see output of config_list attached. is there another setting I need to change?
thanks
roger

For what reason are the messages being held? What does the "confirmation email" you receive say?

This message was held because the list was not explicitly addressed in a To: or Cc: header of the post. See the settings require_explicit_destination and acceptable_aliases on the Privacy options... -> Recipient filters page.

Thank you mark. I will make these changes. I am very new at mailman and I appreciate you helping me out.

Apart from what people have already told you, if you want to make a list accept *all* non-member postings, you'll also need to set the max number of recipients to 0 (unlimited) in Privacy/Recipient Filters, and also set the max message size to 0 (unlimited) in General settings.
