An implementation of a list setting for the default would be non-trivial. A hack to do it based on listname would be simpler.

I'm guessing you want something analogous to Mailman's subscription confirmation process and that's why you're thinking of Mailman, but it would be simpler and more straightforward to just send the email outside of Mailman. Mailman is designed to send messages to the members of lists, not to arbitrary individuals. Mailman uses Python's smtplib to send mail ( for Python3, for Python2.7). While it would be possible to use Mailman's Message class to create and send a message, it would be simpler to just create a plain text email from a template and use smtplib to send it. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

The one way I can think to do it, and it is a bit of a Rube-Goldberg, is to create a dummy mailing list, and then when the user signs up to your site, you create a subscription for them on the mailing list, with confirmation required. When they do confirm, mailman can send out an email that you can catch to see that they confirmed, or you can just interrogate the list to see if they are on the subscriber list (they won't be until they subscribe). This does create a lot of complexity, and possibly confusion if there isn't a need for a linked mailing list, it is likely simpler to just look at the code mailman uses and borrow the appropriate parts, this isn't THAT hard of a function. -- Richard Damon From guest2 at sgeinc.com Tue Jul 4 20:31:20 2017 From: guest2 at sgeinc.com (Richard Shetron) Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2017 20:31:20 -0400 Subject: [Mailman-Users] Send confirmation emails to user that sign up for my site In-Reply-To: <86dd35726ba11537e4e5bd7149c8b212@devplateau.com> References: <86dd35726ba11537e4e5bd7149c8b212@devplateau.com> Message-ID: <4b758073-7226-bda8-c61a-63c9d17b5432@sgeinc.com> If the web backend can generate the code and email for the message and you are on a *nix system then all you have to do is: cat | sendmail -r -s "" message can usually contain additional headers depending on the command line options. message can be a canned message if you put the code in the subject.

It makes a difference. I don't know why the link gives a 404. Possibly the link is to something like http://myserver.com/mailman/admindb/mailman_myserver.com and the list name is actually mailman_otherserver.com. Every Mailman 2.1.x installation has a site list, usually named 'mailman'. How this is configured in your mailman depends on various things like how Mailman was installed (cPanel, distribution package, source, ...), whether or not this is a shared server, etc. If you can access the admin interface for this list, you could put something like ^.* in Privacy options... -> Subscription rules -> ban_list to prevent anyone from requesting subscription to the list. If you need more help, please provide a copy of one of these messages with all headers and more detail about how Mailman was installed and what the server configuration is. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

(returning to the list) I would call this a bug in Tbird, but Mozilla probably calls it a deliberate feature.[1] It may be a response to something like , but that's old and not marked fixed. So far, I haven't found anything else relevant, but I haven't looked very hard. Here's the story: If a message contains a Reply-To: header and a List-Post: header, both containing the same address, "Reply" ignores the Reply-To:. Presumably, the theory is Tbird offers "Reply List" (shift+Ctrl+L), so if you are using "Reply" rather than "Reply List", you must intend the reply to go to the sender. The only thing you can do in Mailman is set include_list_post_header to No, but this may annoy some users who like the "Reply List" ability. [1] It is a bug in that it is a violation of RFC 5322 sec 3.6.2 which says in part The originator fields also provide the information required when replying to a message. When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it indicates the address(es) to which the author of the message suggests that replies be sent. In the absence of the "Reply-To:" field, replies SHOULD by default be sent to the mailbox(es) specified in the "From:" field unless otherwise specified by the person composing the reply. Of course, setting reply_goes_to_list is also a violation ... And I'm also somewhat sympathetic to the arguments in , but that asks for an option, and as far as I can tell, this behavior is not optional, even in the config editor. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

This is a deliberate "feature" in Tbird 52.0. See and . It appears to be a "fix" for .

Have you looked at all the system mail log messages for a message with this error to see things like the sender, recipient, message-id, etc. Since it's from localhost, it may be some local user or script sending a message with a very long list of To: and/or Cc: recipients. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Now, that's not the case with a new group of list users. (And yes, I've tried in the past to fix this, but never found a solution and it wasn't all that vital.) My scenario is simple enough; the mail server that runs mailman is on an internal, private network behind a firewall and has no direct external access. Mail gets through via a firewall / gateway machine, and web access to the web interface is done via "pipermail" interface through the web server. It all works except that the automated emails sent for things like bounces, initial welcome, password reminders and things like that ALWAYS have the internal system name for the URLs instead of the external one. I've tried to figure out how to modify the templates to get it to work correctly, all to many wasted hours of frustration, and of course I've tried to look it up online. I can't find any information about what substutitions are available within the various templates, though I found a conversation where someone some 12 to 15 years ago said it was on their to-do list. I've been tempted to just hard-code, but there are several problems with that, such as that there are different list names that have to get inserted, or different usernames. And even if I could hard-code the system name / domain name part, I'd prefer to have the URL be unique for the particular community the list is serving - simply because having to explain a different domain name is just more wasted time.

I'm a bit confused here too. That said, suppose you have two external web domains, web_domain1 with list1 at email_domain1 and web_domain2 with list2 at email_domain2. Of course you could have more domains and more lists per domain, but in this simple case you would put in mm_cfg.py add_virtualhost(web_domain1, email_domain1) add_virtualhost(web_domain2, email_domain2) (it's OK if different web domains have the same email domain.) Then to associate web_domain1 with list1, you run bin/withlist -r fix_url list1 -u web_domain1 and similarly for other lists.

What are the differences that I should be seeing after changing the dmarc_moderation_action? Here is an authentication header of a message from a gmail user to a gmail user. gmail.com publishes DMARC p=none _dmarc.gmail.com. 399 IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:mailauth-reports at google.com" Thus, you will see no differences in mail From: gmail.com unless you also set dmarc_none_moderation_action to Yes. (Note that this setting is not really recommended and is not available in Mailman 3's DMARC mitigations.) The underlying issue may be (speculating here) that Gmail doesn't like mail From: gmail.com with broken gmail.com DKIM signatures. If so, this is contrary to the recommendation of the DKIM standard RFC 6376. Section 6.3 of that RFC says in part: If the email cannot be verified, then it SHOULD be treated the same as all unverified email, regardless of whether or not it looks like it was signed. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

One warning, if you do establish SPF for your domain, then anyone who sets up a 'forwarding' for your list emails to gmail (or someone who checks SPF records) will start to bounce. -- Richard Damon From adamsca at gmail.com Thu Jul 20 12:16:12 2017 From: adamsca at gmail.com (Christopher Adams) Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2017 09:16:12 -0700 Subject: [Mailman-Users] Digests not being sent, accumulating instead Message-ID: Hello, I noticed that a list digest is not being sent.

There is probably some defective message in the digest.mbox which is causing some exception to be thrown in processing the digest. Part of the issue is you probably never see the output from Mailman's crons when they encounter errors. See . You can run cron/senddigests or cron/senddigests -l as the mailman user manually from the command line to get more information on the error.

You can sort of get that by creating list2 as an umbrella list that only contains list1, but they're still different lists, and that's not the same as two names for one list.

I understood David (OP) to be asking for something different. list1 at example.org is the canonical list David is asking for an alternate name, list2 at example.org, for the same list. So, list1 at example.org and list2 at example.org are the same list. > Couldn?t you just add list1 and list2 email addresses to the master > list membership list? Seeing as how list1 and list2 are two references to the same list, I think that this is inapplicable as such. I suppose list2 at example.org could be the master / umbrella list that has list1 at example.org as a member, as Carl suggested. - However, despite the viability, I think this technique an inelegant hack to accomplish what I understand the David's goal to be. -- Grant. . . . unix || die From dlugasny at protonmail.com Wed Jul 26 15:43:43 2017 From: dlugasny at protonmail.com (Dlugasny) Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2017 15:43:43 -0400 Subject: [Mailman-Users] How to check if E-mail from Mailman was opened by the subscriber ?

Compare it with normal (paper, snail mail) you send out to your clients. There, you have no guarantee if the recipient opened it / looked at it - unless you send it by "registered mail".

FWIW: Even sending registered snail mail is no guarantee that the letter was opened or read ... just that it was delivered. As to the OP's question ... There's no sure way to verify a message has been read. Some MLM systems use HTML beacons, but they are trivial to defeat. In fact, most email programs provide the option to not load remote images when viewing. Also, if someone chooses to read all mail in plain text, the beacon is meaningless. david -- IBM i on Power Systems: For when you can't afford to be out of business!

There is no way for Mailman to directly test to see if an E-Mail has been opened. *Unless* you do something the spammers do and most spam filters will easily detect: you can include a small (0x0 even) image in HTML E-Mail that is actually a script on your webserver. This will only be opened by a HTML capable E-Mail client and might be blocked by spam control and/or malware checking software. Basically, there is no reliable way to test for actually opened E-Mail. All you can know for sure is if the E-Mail was delivered and accepted by the final MTA server. Whether that server tossed the message into the bit bucket, or if the end-user deleted it unread or just never got around to actually opening message is not something you can be totally sure of. > Is it possible to get some statistics about bounced E-mails ?

You can't even be 100% sure of that. You can use SMTP's DSN feature to request to be notified when a message is delivered. However, chances are good that you will run into a server that will send back a DSN stating that the message has been relayed into a server / network that does not support DSNs. Thus no assurance that the message even made it to the final MTA server. > Whether that server tossed the message into > the bit bucket, or if the end-user deleted it unread or just never got around > to actually opening message is not something you can be totally sure of. You can add a header to request an MDN, a.k.a. return receipt. Supposedly MDNs are supposed to tell you if a message was displayed. However that does not mean that the message was actually read. Both DSNs and MDNs are fairly easy to thwart. - That being said, they are probably the best methods to go towards your goal. It's just very likely that you will not actually achieve your goal. There are other tricks, like images in HTML email, that can be used. They tend to be subject to various opinions about how spamy they are. Many of which are frowned upon for that reason. *IF* you really do want to do something like this, use a graphic that is unique per user, make it actually show up (as more than 0x0 / 1x1 / etc) like a company logo does, and then track that way. -- Grant. . . . unix || die From odhiambo at gmail.com Sat Jul 29 05:28:35 2017 From: odhiambo at gmail.com (Odhiambo Washington) Date: Sat, 29 Jul 2017 12:28:35 +0300 Subject: [Mailman-Users] nightly_htdig Message-ID: I am facing a weird problem with nightly_htdig.

The htdig search engine is not part of Mailman per se. It has not been supported for a long time. Richard Barrett developed patches to integrate htdig search with Mailman 2.1 archives. I have since incorporated those patches into a branch at which is kept in sync with the Mailman 2.1 master branch at . You may be able to use tools like gdb to find out more about the running process before you kill it or to inspect the core dump. You can also look at the Note: on each list's archive index page to see when the archive search index was last rebuilt. This will help you find on which list the process is "stuck". Other questions I would have are: How did you install Mailman? How did you install htdig, and which version? How did you upgrade Mailman to 2.1.24? What steps did you follow to rebuild the archives? All I can tell you is I run what is for this purpose essentially the head of the branch and htdig 3.2.0b6 installed from source, and I don't see this issue. I do know that depending on the actual server resources available, rebuilding the index for a large archive (tens of thousands or more posts) can take a long time. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

I simply would like to be informed if user > opened an E-mail. WIll it be possible ? Mailman itself has no such option. See other replies for possible ways to craft your mail to get this effect, although reliability is not 100%. > Is it possible to get some statistics about bounced E-mails ? No cumulative statistics are kept, but bounces are logged to mailman/logs/bounce (relative to the Mailman installation prefix, typically /var/lib/). You can get the list of members disabled due to bounce with "mailman/bin/list_members --nomail=bybounce". Internally Mailman keeps statistics about bounces since last successful delivery for each subscriber. These statistics can be accessed using mailman/bin/withlist and writing some code. (Mark may have a script that has not byet been included in the distribution.) I doubt this is very useful, though, since it is likely to reset frequently.
