My question is where and how do I add an Approved header ? If you have a copy of the message sent to you as moderator, and your MUA allows it, in the group of headers at the top of the message, you add something like the following: Approved: list-moderator-password-here Alternatively, you can add that as the first line of the content of the post, either from your MUA or from the copy of the message you see within web interface. I've been through the Mailman interface, but I am a little confused on how to do this. There's not a separate part of the admin interface for this.

I configured mailman with './configure --with-mail-gid=mail --with-cgi-gid=apache' I installed exim with the user and group 'mail'. I followed the instructions to configure exim for mailman. My MTA seems to be working fine. But I cant seem to get any mailing lists to work. I can sbuscribe to groups but never get an email reply. when I do a '$MM_PREFIX/mail/mailman post', I get: Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed as group mail, but the system's mail server executed the mail script as group root. Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as group mail, or re-run configure, providing the command line option `--with-mail-gid=root'. This happens when you run the command as user/group root. What happens when Exim runs it? If exim (or you) runs it as group 'mail', it should be fine. when I check Mailmans smtp-failure log, I get: Mar 23 14:27:36 2005 (1390) Low level smtp error: (111, 'Connection refused'), msgid: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mar 23 14:27:36 2005 (1390) delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code -1: (111, 'Connection refused') I am assuming that exim cannot do the delivery because it cannot run the '$MM_PREFIX/mail/mailman post' script. No, that is probably not the reason since the '$MM_PREFIX/mail/mailman post' script is run for an incoming post and the smtp-failure message above is related to an attempt by Mailman to send some message (generated by mailman judging from the msgid) to you. Mailman is unable to connect to the outgoing MTA via SMTP. If you haven't changed SMTPHOST and SMTPPORT from their defaults in Defaults.py, this means Mailman can't connect to 'localhost' port 25.

Dylan Thanks for your help Mark. You were right about the 'connection refused' error. I couldn't telnet to my localhost on port 25 as we have a mail virus scanner on that port, which I'd forgotten about, which needed a bit of messing around with. Now I get replies from mailman. Alas, I still cannot post to the list I'd created. I think I' getting there though. I try to use mailing lists and usenet as a last resort and try to figure these things out for myself.

[Mailman-Users] What am I missing: HTML messages are being stripped?
Hello, Probably a temporary brain moment here, but our lists are stripping HTML messages, although the settings are as follows for content filtering: filter_content is yes, filter_mime_types and pass_mime_types are both empty, and convert_html_to_plaintext is set to no. If I turn off content filtering for the list, HTML messages arrive ok, however it seems as though we should be able to have content filtering turned on yet HTML messages passing through unharmed with the settings indicated above - what am I missing?

With content filtering turned on but nothing defined, Mailman will strip everything but the first MIME bodypart type, which may or may not be HTML. If you want to pass HTML messages, you will need to define to define some MIME bodypart types that you want to pass -- such as text/html.

The HTML parts that are being removed are one subpart of a multipart/alternative part. When content filtering is enabled, it always selects only the first remaining part (after any filtering) from a multipart/alternative group for delivery to the list. The fourth paragraph of the description on the Content Filtering page says: After this initial filtering, any multipart attachments that are empty are removed. If the outer message is left empty after this filtering, then the whole message is discarded. Then, each multipart/alternative section will be replaced by just the first alternative that is non- empty after filtering. The last sentence describes this behavior.
