Hi,
I'm having a problem which I can't seem to solve for myself. The setup:
- Mailman 2.0.6
- Apache 1.3.19
Setting up Mailman was easy, administration via the webinterface works, and I can send mails to list members without problems. But, I can't seem to _save_ any changes to reply_goes_to_list and reply_to_address in a consistent manner.
The list ist test@lists.astrum.ch:
- When I set reply_goes_to_list to "This list", Reply-To: in outgoing mails gets set to "test@astrum.ch".
- When I set reply_goes_to_list is set to "Explicit address", the field "Explicit Reply-To:-Header" as entered there is not the same as in the Reply-To:-Header being set in outgoing mails.
E.g., I set "foo@lists.astrum.ch" to be put in Reply-To:, but still "test@astrum.ch" is being put in the outgoing mails.
/Sometimes/, I can't save the content of the "Explicit Reply-To-Header"- field; when I try to empty it and press "Submit", it pops up with the same content as before (it does not seem to be a problem with the browser, as I tested with Mozilla 0.9.3 and Lynx 2.8.3dev9.
Any ideas?
Thank you, Matthias

Try setting lists.astrum.ch to be the default "servername" in the main config page. It worked for me. Warning: take note of the details mentioned about this setting.
No ideas, but I can confirm this... that the "Explicit Reply-To-Header"- field has popped up with the same field for me too. Looks like a bug, though I haven't duplicated it.

Shame on me. It was a problem with sendmail masquerading from "lists.astrum.ch" to "astrum.ch" (through MASQUERADE_AS('...')- and FEATURE('masquerade_envelope')-m4-macros). Together with an incomplete delegation of nameservers (I took over the primary NS just a few days ago), this caused major confusion.
Lessons learned:
- Make double sure your DNS setup is correct.
- sendmails Masquerading-stuff also applies to Reply-To:- header rewriting.
So, nothing blame mailman for.
ACK. I also tried to duplicate - to no avail. I now set the default to "This List", which is required for the most part of my lists anyway.
Overall, mailman just works perfect :)
