[Mailman-Users] Non-rejected posts
I'm having a problem with mailman: I have a list set up for the faculty/staff on our campus. Any facstaff member can post (supposedly). However, whenever a member sends a post to the list, it's posted but they receive a rejection notice anyway. Anyone have any clues?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Adding users via email - No confirmation wanted.

Take a look at the $prefix/bin/add_members command, with options similar to these: $prefix/bin/add_members --regular-members-file=file \ --welcome-msg=n --admin-notify=n listname (Run add_members with --help to get a full syntax help display.) I haven't tested this on my system, but according to the documentation this should subscribe the people listed in the file, with no confirmation messages. Try it on a short list of just a couple of users first, to make sure it behaves as you wish it to. It's possible to write a perl script to parse an email and run add_members... then set up an account on the server that is allowed to run the script under sudo with no password... then have his .forward file contain the line | sudo scriptname. Honestly it sounds like a hackish way of doing it, but it could work. The line you add using the visudo command would look something like this: username ALL=NOPASSWD: /absolute/path/to/script Just a thought. If you're better with python or shell scripting, it doesn't *have* to be a perl script. That setup would allow for adding via email without allowing a root ssh shell to your list administrator. The script could also be modified to remove members as well, but it would change the format of the input to something like this (if you're good, you could add several users and remove users in the same email): add usertoadd add usertoadd remove usertoremove remove usertoremove /tim -- Tim Faircloth, System Administrator GSW OIIT Office: (229) 931-5076 Beeper: (229) 928-1458 -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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/

You'll need to find your aliases file for your distro (mine is /etc/aliases), and add something like: test-owner: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner test ...to it. When you created the list it should have given you this list of aliases to insert. There is one alias for each virtual email address used by mailman: test-request; test-subscribe etc. I can post my aliases stub here if you want. Then rebuild the aliases db with something like: newaliases It could also be a problem with your MTA as well. For example, Sendmail won't allow any application to send mail unless it resides in a specific directory (in my case /var/adm/sm.bin). To fix this problem, I had to place a link to the mailman program in /var/adm/sm.bin: $ ln -s /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman /var/adm/sm.bin/mailman and change the aliases line to use the symlink instead of using the binary directly.

[Mailman-Users] domain woes
Our mail server (host.my.domain) recieves mail addressed to @host.my.domain and @my.domain. Right now, it is set up to send mail as @my.domain, but before, it was set up to send mail as however joe user had it set up in eudora to send (either @host.my.domain or @my.domain). However, since the change to force @my.domain on outgoing mail (using the MASQUERADE_AS option on sendmail, many users have complained that they cannot post to mailing lists because they subscribed as user@host.my.domain. Is there a way to set up mailman to accept either domain as coming from the same domain? i.e. : if Joe user ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) subscribed to my a list as [EMAIL PROTECTED] through the web interface, is there a way that I can let him post as [EMAIL PROTECTED]? I realize that I could set up a filter to specifically allow [EMAIL PROTECTED] to post, but I would prefer that mailman accept an @my.domain address to be treated the same as the corresponding @host.my.domain addresses. /tim -- Tim Faircloth, System Administrator GSW OIIT Office: (229) 931-5076 Beeper: (229) 928-1458 -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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/
[Mailman-Users] Stripping headers
Hello I am using Mailman version 2.1.4 on a Solaris 5.8 box using sendmail. I'm using it to host interoffice lists to which users should not be given the chance to subscribe/unsubscribe. That's all well and good, but when someone posts to the list, mailman puts in a few unwanted headers: List-Unsubscribe: List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: I do not want members of the lists to be able to unsubscribe, subscribe, etc. (all subscriptions are handled by list admins and moderators), so I do not want the users to see these headers. Is there a way to strip these headers out, or configure mailman to leave out these headers? /tim -- Tim Faircloth, System Administrator GSW OIIT Office: (229) 931-5076 Beeper: (229) 928-1458 -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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/
