Look at the headers and work out what really happened.

Forging email addresses is trivial.  It is the work of a few seconds
to send an email with somebody else's email address.  You can mitigate
somewhat by using SPF and DKIM, but it does require that everybody
checks your SPF and DKIM records - not everybody does.

[Mailman-Users] Odd Behavior

[Dennis Putnam]

I'm not sure this is really a Mailman issue but at this point, I don't
know where else to start. The problem stems from email to the root user.
I have an alias set (postfix) to send mail for root to my administrator
address. If it matters this address is in a different domain so the form
of the alias is administra...@myotherdomain.com. Also, FWIW, this seems
to have started when I upgraded from Mandriva 2007 to 2008.2.

What is happening, is that mail to root is somehow being routed through
Mailman. Each time something is sent to root, the following error email
is generated:

---

This is the mail system at host home.mydomain.com.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can

The standard version of Mailman can be configured to inform the sender 
that their message is being held for moderation, but there is no method 
I know of to configure it to notify the sender when the message has been 
released.


I don't know what kind of source-code level modifications might be 
necessary to make that happen.

Two comments in addition to the above good advice.

1) Almost anyone can spoof your address in the From: of an email. This
does not require an open relay server or anything fancy. Almost any
MUA can do it.

2) That is why for announce lists we recommend moderating everyone and
if you want to avoid moderation when posting, use an Approved: header
to bypass moderation. See the FAQs at 
and .

Exclude/include is done if the list address appears explicitly on the
To:/Cc: headers.  You should write 'staff-info' and 'non-staff-info' in
the regular_exclude_lists of 'All-info' and send a message
'To:staff-info,non-staff-info,All-info' to avoid duplicates.

Please clarify.  Did the From line contain your email address (m...@email.com 
) or not?  You seem to be saying two different things.


If, as I suspect, someone is merely forging your address to post to  
the list, there are two things that you can do (I would recommend that  
you do (1) as an immediate and temporary measure, until you can get  
(2) in place).


(1) Moderate even your own postings, so that your list moderator  
password is required to post, even if "from" your own address.


(2) Improve the spam/virus filtering on your mailserver.  A forged  
message from an open relay containing a virus should have been stopped  
by your mail system long before it reached mailman.


Cheers,

Re: [Mailman-Users] Help! "Stuck Messages"

[John]

I have a similar problem... I use a Virtual Dedicated server to host several
domains with a number of Mailman lists on them. Every so often the traffic on
the Mailman lists drops to a trickle or stops. Bounce volume and regular email
is usually unaffected. I've given up trying to debug it, I just reboot the
server and the flood-gates open. Sometimes the easiest solution/work-around is
brute force...  :-/

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Sibling lists

[Damion Theobald]

Hi,

 

Could anyone be of help in the setting up of mailman sibling lists.

 

I currently have the below setup

 

Parent list   Sibling list

Staff staff-info

  All-info

 

Non-staff non-staff-info

  All-info

 

This all works correctly except when a e-mail is sent to both the staff and
non-staff parent lists. It results in the people on 'All-info' list
receiving duplicate e-mails. I have tried adding the staff list into the
regular_exclude_lists in the 'non-staff' list but this does not work

 

Any help would be most appreciated.

 

Regards

Damion
