I have no specific problem with mailman. I just wanted to point out how
futile and possibly senseless it is to have mailman handle every subject
prefix which dumb "mail user agent" writers happen to invent, by giving
an example how they don't even agree on one prefix for *one* language
(German).

Mailman itself works very fine for me, just dumb "MUA"s make me annoyed
on and off.

Does that really make sense? They don't even manage to use *one*
localized reply prefix, witness "AW:" in a German version of one
silly "mail client" (Outlook), and "Betreff:" in a German version
of one other silly "mail client" (IncrediMail; the incredible nightmare
for mailing list admins).

Perhaps the original poster set "reply-to" to the list address.

The setting "poster" does just not add an own reply to, but it leaves
original reply-to headers alone, AFAIK.

Two words: User education.

And set the "reply-to header" setting appropriately (i.e. do *not* set
reply-to to the list), if you usually want direct replies to poster.
Oh I read you have already done that.

Then... User education (they should use the reply to sender function,
not group reply or list reply in their MUA if they want their replies to
be private).

If they aren't supposed at all to send to the list, deny them the right
to do so (possible on the web interface). Or set the list to moderated.

[Mailman-Users] "bounce" message from misconfigured mail host(s) [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Returned mail: User unknown]

2005-10-26 Thread Hannah Schroeter
Hello!

I'm getting "bounces" like this from a misconfigured site which bounces
to the header From instead of the envelope from.

Perhaps that recipient should just be removed from the list?

The "bounce" has envelope from
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  (should be empty!)
header from
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and stems from
  [193.74.71.21] (helo=xizor.is.scarlet.be)
  (helo matches the reverse-mapping of the IP, double reverse check
  matches)

Its received lines seem to be echoed from the original mail (bad!).

The upmost received lines from the original mail are:
  Received: from (smtp-vbr10.xs4all.nl [194.109.24.30])
by fundy.is.scarlet.be  with ESMTP id j9NJNaoW011305
for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>;
Sun, 23 Oct 2005 21:23:36 +0200
  Received: from bag.python.org (bag.python.org [194.109.207.14])
by smtp-vbr10.xs4all.nl (8.13.3/8.13.3) with ESMTP id j9NJNV5u040983
for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sun, 23 Oct 2005 21:23:36 +0200 (CEST)
(envelope-from [EMAIL PROTECTED])
  Received: from bag.python.org (bag [127.0.0.1])
by bag.python.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E0E2B1E411D
for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sun, 23 Oct 2005 21:23:14 +0200 (CEST)

So something at or after smtp-vbr10.xs4all.nl or fundy.is.scarlet.be is
heavily misconfigured. Please fix this (CC is set to people who could be
responsible): DSNs should have an empty (null) envelope sender and
should be sent *only* to the envelope sender of the original message,
the header (From/Reply-To) should never be evaluated for creating
DSNs/bounces.

Kind regards,

Hannah.

I don't know whether there's a specific knob in mailman itself, but
you could either just not publish the list info address at all, or
deny access to it, using appropriate web server configuration (access
control or rewrite rules to show explanatory text instead).

No, it says
  BÍC:  knees or feet?

_ is a substitute for space in "q" encoding.

See section 4.2, no. (2), in RFC 2047.

It's used, because spaces are frequent in encoded headers and unencoded
spaces aren't allowed in an encoded-word.

I'd say: YAGNI (Ya ain't gonna need it). If the charset is declared
correctly, it isn't worse for German text. And it has less overhead
then.

Reasonable MUAs have a separate list reply function. E.g. with mutt,
I can register the mailing lists I'm on (the To address where
submissions to the list go), and if I ask mutt to do a list reply, it
takes all known list addresses from To and CC as target for the reply.

(private) reply addresses Reply-To, or From. (group) reply addresses all
addresses from From/To/CC except for mine.

There're a few things wrong with that command line.

First, you'd probably have to quote the special characters, ", <, and >.

Second, with "-r -" you specify that add_members will read the addresses
of the members to add from standard input.

I.e. you could try something like
  echo '"firstname lastname" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' |

IIRC you can set a "moderated" flag individually for users.

All users that are *not* moderated have their mails passed through
immediately, the others' contributions are held back and an
administrator or moderator has to pass them through.
