I'm sorry for not being clear. VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP is set to the same value that comes with Defaults.py

When confirmations are sent, the FROM header does not follow this pattern "Mailman <listaddr-confirm+cookie@example.org>", it just has the addres, i.e, "listaddr-confirm+cookie@example.org". I wolud like to add the "Mailman <" to the beginning and ">" at the end.

Why? So that those who receive the invitation/confirmation email see a human readable name in the "From" header.

Hope I'm being clear. Thanks!

Currently they follow the default value of VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP. I've been trying to change it so that I can get something like this:

From: Mailman <listaddr-confirm+cookie@example.org>

That is what you get by default if VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes

...

This is currently in my mm_cfg.py:

VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP = r'(?s)^(.*<)?(?P<addr>.+)\+(?P<cookie>[^@+]+)@.*$'

Wht are you changing this in this way? It should work, but so should the default. You should only need to change VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXp if you've changed VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT.

...

VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes

Does anyone know how to do this?

I do not understand what the problem is. Are you not getting the From: you want? If not, did you restart Mailman after changing mm_cfg.py?

THANK YOU! Worked like a charm. I owe you a beer, at least. :)

There are two ways to accomplish something like what you want. To do it only in mm_cfg.py, there's no way to add the trailing '>', but you could set

VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT = '(Mailman) %(addr)s+%(cookie)s' VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP = r'(?s)^\(Mailman\) (.*<)?(?P<addr>.+)\+(?P<cookie>[0-9a-f]{40})@.*$'

That last should all be on one line. Also the "[0-9a-f]{40}" instead of "[^@+]+" is not a necessary change, but it fixes a problem if the list name contains a '+'

The above will create a From header "(Mailman) listaddr-confirm+cookie@example.org and the regexp will recognize it in replies, although the two MUAs I tried (Thunderbird and Mutt) will address the reply to "Mailman <listaddr-confirm+cookie@example.org>" which will be recognized by the default regexp.

The other way involves editing Mailman/MailList.py and changing

def GetConfirmEmail(self, cookie):
    return mm_cfg.VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT % {
        'addr'  : '%s-confirm' % self.internal_name(),
        'cookie': cookie,
        } + '@' + self.host_name

to

def GetConfirmEmail(self, cookie):
    return 'Mailman <' + mm_cfg.VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT % {
        'addr'  : '%s-confirm' % self.internal_name(),
        'cookie': cookie,
        } + '@' + self.host_name + '>'

This will produce a From: of "Mailman <listaddr-confirm+cookie@example.org>" which will be recognized by the default regexp, so only

VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes

is needed in mm_cfg.py.
