According to the mm developers it's the only (easy) safe way to add the footer. To have the footers really appended to your text: 1. Configure your MUA to send plant text emails. 2. Set the default language of your mailing list on the mm admin page to English/US-ASCII. It's funny that this solution also works with non ASCII characters, e.g. german Umlauts (ISO-8859-1), but only if you use English as default language, not german. cu, boris -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/

HTML mail is pure evil, in addition, some MUA's cannot cope with HTML mail, or do not render it properly.

[Mailman-Users] Dropping local domain.
I run Mailman on a system that uses Postfix.

I am going to change the local domain into a virtual domain, so that all domains on the system are virtual and none are local. Mailman's aliases all resolve at the local level though, so I'm wondering how to do what I want to do without breaking Mailman. Is anyone running Mailman on a system with only virtual domains?

[Mailman-Users] GID For Virtualized Qmail[Vmailmgr]
Hi there, I am running Vmailmgr on my mail server so it can host multiple domains. The build is based on qmail, and stores mail in the following structure: /home/dom/mydomain/users/username I noticed the documentation notes possible things to do: ---snip--- - You might need to set the mail-gid user to either "qmail", "mailman", or "nofiles" by using the --with-mail-gid configure option. BN: it highly depends on your mail storing policy. For example if you use the simple ~alias/.qmail-* files, you can use `id -g alias`. But if you use /var/qmail/users, the specified mail gid can be used. If you are going to be directing virtual domains directly to the "mailman" user (using "virtualdomains" on a list-only domain, for example), you will have to use --with-mail-gid= This is incompatible with having list aliases in ~alias, unless that alias simply forwards to "mailman-listname*". - If there is a user `mailman' on your system, the alias `mailman-owner' will work only in ~mailman. You have to do a "touch .qmail-owner" in ~mailman directory to create this alias. NB: An alternative, IMHO better solution is to `chown root ~mailman', that will stop qmail from considering `mailman' to be a user to whom mail can be delivered. (See `man 8 qmail-getpw'.) ---snip--- My question is this: 1. I plan on using mailman to run lists for users on xyx.net, there are 20 users. We plan to use about 5 lists with unique names. What's the best choice of the above recommendations given my described setup?

HTML mail is pure evil, in addition, some MUA's cannot cope with HTML mail, or do not render it properly. Plus it adds a whole load of unneeded bloat, and can be a security risk - especially when used in conjunction with 'LookOut'. http://www.betips.net/etc/evilmail.html http://www.georgedillon.com/web/html_email_is_evil_still.shtml http://www.usethesource.com/articles/03/04/07/14.shtml -- -jamie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | spamtrap: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: http://silverdream.org | p: [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp key @ http://silverdream.org/~jps/pub.key 14:30:01 up 4 days, 32 min, 2 users, load average: 0.91, 0.90, 0.72 -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
[Mailman-Users] Custom signup page?
I would like to integrate the signup form on my existing website, just with the "your email adress:" entry and the subscribe button under it. The default signup page is good for advanced users so I still wanna keep it, but most of the people who visit my site are pretty clueless about anything internet related, a whole page with text is just confusing to them. So is it ok to integrate the email field and the subscribe button on your existing homepage, and if so what code do you need for it? Thanks! quasi. -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
Re: - [Mailman-Users] Custom signup page?
Yes, you can modify. Just pull the code that is just for subscribe off that page. If you need a sample - let me know and I will send you a sample page I use.

[Mailman-Users] Multiple same-named (virtual hosted) lists on the same machine
Hello all! I searched for an answer to my question in the faq, archive, docs, and also on the web, but no luck. Anyway, we are running Mailman and Sendmail on a Debian GNU/Linux machine, and do web hosting for multiple domains. Turns out that two of our clients both want Mailman managed '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' named mailing lists. Well, our primary mail server is on another machine, is the MX host for all the domains, and which has all the current aliases for all our client domains in it's virtusertable. It, too, is running Sendmail. I am unfortunately not permitted to switch MTA's, nor to move MTA functions for those two domains on to separate machines. I must maintain the current configuration and functionality, but somehow have Mailman know which staff alias it is sending to, and write it's outgoing list mail from '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Currently, I am able to have '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' aliases on the MX machine which forward to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', and on the Mailman machine, 'domain-staff:' aliases for Mailman lists called 'domain-staff' who recognize 'To: ' headers containing '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' as explicit list addresses (so postings don't get held). Great. The problem is that the lists intrinsic names are still configured as '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', which means that list mail is sent from that instead of '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Moreover, the CGI generated pages, welcome emails, and other list aliases ('domain-staff-owner' instead of 'staff-owner' etc) all contain the workaround address. All I need is for Mailman to somehow claim universally (in welcome messages, list 'To:' headers, URL's etc) that it's list address is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Short order, huh? :) Now that I've thoroughly confused the issue, first, does anybody understand what it is that I want? Second, is there a FAQ question, or statement in the docs that I missed that gives me the short answer? ('no! you can't do that!', right?) Third, has anybody had this problem before, known anyone who has had this problem, ever heard of this problem, or, most importantly, done any work towards making this possible? If not, and some coding is involved, than I can accept that as an answer, but would like a bit of advise on where/whether to start. I don't know any Python at all, but have been programming in C/C++, perl (and now some PHP) for many years. I'm not afraid of Python, but would rather have a configuration/workaround based option instead. (What if I need to upgrade Mailman for security reasons or whatever? I'll have no guarantee that I can even port my modifications to the new code, and I'm pretty certain that nobody wants my hacky cruft in their codebase, no matter what functionality it provides). Thanks for any and all comments or responses (also big thanks to anyone who actually reads my entire message)! -- Sunit M.

Re: [Mailman-Users] newbie question
I double checked the information you suggested below. I did your suggestion and it works ok. Now new question. I am following the mailman doc to create my first list ex: http://my.dom.ain:8080/mailman/create Note the port number! The screen comes up and I put in the data requested but when I click on create I receive the 'mailman/create' page can't be found plus the URL in my browser does not keep the port# 8080 in its path. I am assuming this is my trouble. To correct this I added DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'pipeline.langara.bc.ca:8080' to my mm_cfg.py file at the end. I then stopped and started mailmanctl. When I try again the url still keeps loosing the port# 8080 from the URL. Referencing the following list off the create page returns similar no port# url as follows. http://pipeline.langara.bc.ca/mailman/admin (overview) http://pipeline.langara.bc.ca/mailman/listinfo (list overview) Can you offer any suggestions on how to keep the port# in the URL's for mailman?
