[Mailman-Users] Handling Auto-Receipt Notifications
Hi, I'm setting up Mailman for an organization where it's common practice to have mail user agents automatically send back receipt notifications. In other words, there's no getting around auto-receipt notification. How does one handle the case where a subscriber's MUA automatically sends Receipt replies to each email received including emails from mailing lists? I've gone through the admin configuration scripts and can't seem to find anything. Closest I found was in the Bounce options. -- Richi Plana -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
[Mailman-Users] one of my lists sends mails using [EMAIL PROTECTED] address
One of my lists sends mails (subscription, unsubscriptions etc.) using [EMAIL PROTECTED] address, where [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an email address defined in: MAILMAN_SITE_LIST = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Because of this added -bounces at the end, the mails are of course rejected. Other lists on the same server are not affected. Any ideas what I screwed? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

Bummer :-( How does one handle the case where a subscriber's MUA automatically sends Receipt replies to each email received including emails from mailing lists? I've gone through the admin configuration scripts and can't seem to find anything. Closest I found was in the Bounce options. To what address is the auto-receipt sent? If it is the envelope sender or the Sender: header, there may or may not be a problem. The receipt will go to the listname-bounces address and will be handled as a bounce. As long as it isn't VERPed, it will likely be unrecognized and will be discarded or forwarded to the list owner depending on bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner. If it is VERPed, it will be scored as a bounce for the VERPed address, which is a problem. If, as is more likely, it is sent to the Reply-To: or From:, it is a problem for the poster who gets all the receipts or for whatever the Reply-To: might be set to. In short, there's not really anything you can do with Mailman settings to compensate for this except turning off bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner in the one case where this might help. The real solution is to train the recipient MUA to not send a receipt for Precedence: list mail, or as long as the list is not fully personalized, to not send a receipt for mail of which the recipient is not a direct addressee. Or better yet, not send receipts at all. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED]The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] no dupes across lists?
Does the 'no dupes' option mean that members will not receive a messages sent to more than one list to which they are subscribed?

No. It only means that a member will not receive the post from the list if (s)he in specifically addressed in To: or Cc: of the post. If you have lists with duplicate members which are frequently cross posted, the new sibling lists 'exclude' feature in Mailman 2.1.10 can be used to avoid these duplicate messages. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED]The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
