I have read the FAQs and searched both the FAQs and the archives and
can't find an answer so I am posting it here to see if anyone else
has seen this problem and/or knows a solution.
I have Mailman ver. 2.1.9 up and running successfully. All the lists
seem to be working fine with one "small" but potentially "big" flaw.
On all of my lists, when a message is sent to the list, the message
received by the list members has the entire list of members in the
header of the email. This text is quoted from one such header:
X-Thet.Net-Mailscanner-From: privatelist-bounces@lists.thet.net
X-Thet.Net-Mailscanner-To: user1@thet.net, user2@thet.net,
user3@thet.net, user4@thet.net, user5@thet.net, user6@thet.net,
user7@thet.net
Note -- I edited the list name and replace the real subscriber names
with user1, user2 etc. as this is supposed to be private list and we
are trying to avoid some spam.
I have done everything that I can think of and don't know where else
to look. Is this something Mailman is doing or is it Mailscanner?
How do I fix it?
The other complaint that I had from one subscriber was that the
messages from the list are in a "slightly odd format that confused my
mail reader. It was a multipart MIME message where the main part,
the message itself, was treated as an enclosure."
Is this something I can do something about?
Thanks in advance for helping someone new to Mailman!

Your outgoing MTA (Thet.Net-Mailscanner?) is creating this header based on the envelope recipients of the message.
You may or may not be able to fix this in the MTA.
I think you can avoid this issue by making mailman send a separate message to each recipient. You can do this in one of the following ways:
In mm_cfg.py set
SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 1
This is not recommended because it has all the performance implications of 2) and none of the advantages.
In mm_cfg.py set
VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1
In mm_cfg.py set
OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = Yes
and then on the list admin Non-digest options page set personalize to Yes. This will only affect individual messages, not digests.

messages from the list are in a "slightly odd format that confused my

This may be because you have specified a msg_header in non-digest options. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.039.htp> which applies to the msg_header as well as the msg_footer. If you don't think you have a msg_header, make sure the text box is empty, not just blank.
