[Mailman-Users] Need to see sender of post to my list
Hello, I've been using Mailman for years and have a situation that I can't find in docs FAQs. I have the reply to address set to list and I have senders email addresses hidden to protect privacy and prevent spam abuse. Occasionally, I - as the administrator - need to see the actual poster of a message sent by a member. They sent an inappropriate message, or perhaps their email is spam virus infected and they are unknowingly spamming. When I go to archives, all I can find in the emails is the obfuscated information about a message, but not the actual senders email address. If they don't sig the email, I have no way to know who they are. How can I find out, while maintaining privacy so that addresses are not exposed to the list at large? Here is a sample message header from my archives From jam at australianbakery.com Fri Feb 22 13:54:16 2013 From: jam at australianbakery.com (Aussie Bakery Jam) Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:54:16 -0500 Subject: [Aussie BG Jam] Musicians needed Message-ID: mailman.7.1361566462.28962.jam_australianbakery@host414.hostmonster.com Thanks very much, and if I've overlooked the answer already posted, sorry. regards, Greg -- Protect your privacy http://donttrack.us/ break out of the bubble http://dontbubble.us/ - Search with DuckDuckGo https://duckduckgo.com/ -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

If they don't sig the email, I have no way to know who they are. That's why the setting is called anonymous_list. You arenn't supposed to be able to determine who sent a post from the received post or the archives. How can I find out, while maintaining privacy so that addresses are not exposed to the list at large? The only place you can find this information is in mailman's 'post' log. For each post, there will be an entry like post to LISTNAME from contents of original From: header anonymized. If you don't have access to the Mailman logs on the server, you will have to get this information from someone who does. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
