[Mailman-Users] Mailing list limits
Dear all We (small Swiss NGO) would like to add further mailing lists to our lists on Mailman. As soon as we hit http://lists.okaj.ch/mailman/create:, this error message follows: "lscgid: execve():/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/cgi-bin/create: Permission denied“. Is there any way to extend the number of lists we have? Thanks for your help, I am still pretty new to this system and don’t yet know all the ins and outs.

[Mailman-Users] Mailing List Bounce Issues
Hello, I am the mailing list administrator for a charity cycling team. The list currently has about 150 members. The list and our website is hosted by a local ISP who is running Mailman 2.1.34. We seem to be having all too frequent occurrences of multiple bounces that seem to be related only to the domain of the address recipient. Previously we have had issues with AOL.com and Mindspring.com email domains. The main result of these are disabled subscriptions due to excessive bounces. The latest in this continuing saga occurred on Monday morning when I received notification that 12! list members with Yahoo.com email domain addresses had been unsubscribed from the list! I am assuming that this is the sum total of ALL yahoo addresses in our list. The interesting thing about this occurrence other than losing the name associated with the email address (since the members were unsubscribed not just disabled) is that I NEVER received ANY bounce notifications other than the unsubscribe notification. I find this quite odd and unsettling considering that the list shows that it IS configured to send earlier bounce notifications and I have received them in the past... just not leading up to this latest incident. The typical error message is: jonxx_daj...@yahoo.com has been removed from MSing-ride. (disabled address) So I guess that my question is whether or not these types of problems are now endemic to all email lists or ifOur ISP is technically "challenged" and 1. Doesn't know how to properly configure Mailman to send out the requested notifications. 2. Continues to get blacklisted for sending SPAM even though they don't. Thanks for any insight.

[Mailman-Users] Mailing List Bounce Problems
Hey everyone. The mailing list archive issue that I was inquiring about is a pretty low-volume list. When looking into the archive problem, i saw there were some messages listed in /var/lib/mailman/logs/post that I never received. When looking at the member list, most of my list members were no longer receiving emails due to excessive bounces. I have it set to notify the admin (my gmail account) when a user is disabled, but I've never received a notification. I enabled notification when a message I send to the list is sent out, and I receive that notification, but nobody receives the message. Admin emails from mailman go through just fine, but any message posted to the list does not. I have an IMAP email account on the same server which hosts the mailman instance, and it seems to get all my test messages that I post just fine, but all yahoo, windstream, gmail, etc get bounced. an example line from the /var/log/mail.info file is: Sep 10 12:49:21 bunsen postfix/smtp[4616]: 0DF621C375: to=, relay=mail-tester.com[94.23.206.89]:25, delay=2.6, delays=0.03/0.07/0.86/1.6, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host mail-tester.com[94.23.206.89] said: 550 Message Contains SUSPECT Content :: Please contact ab...@fortressitx.com for further information. (in reply to end of DATA command)) I've been using the services at mail-tester.com to ensure that my domain keys, DMARC, and SPF are all set well. You can see those results here (http://www.mail-tester.com/web-p6036H). I deleted the entire mailing list after exporting the 114 email address, and remade the list, and it behaves the same. The odd thing is, I have another mailing list on the same server with only 6 members, and it seems to be working fine! Any clue where to look? I've contacted ab...@fortressitx.com and received no reply.

Re: [Mailman-Users] FW: Your confirmation is required to leave the Mailman-Users mailing list
Thanks, that's most likely the answer. I've never thought to remove them other than to tidy up the message, and on some of the mail clients I use, it's so much effort that I don't bother. I looked at messages from a couple of other mailman lists I'm on, and they don't have the unsubscribe link, so that explains why it hasn't happen with those.

There's another scenario that's more likely. See, e.g. the post at <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2014-October/077947.html>. In this post, you quote a prior post which you received from the list and from which you did not remove the list footers including an 'Unsubscribe' link to your user options page. This sends your 'Unsubscribe' link to every list member and in turn some of these recipients forward it who knows where. Ultimately, someone receives it and thinks she wants to unsubscribe from what ever is sending her these, follows the link to your options page and clicks the Unsubscribe button on that page. Spiders won't do this because even though they will follow the link to your options login page, they won't post the form, but people who receive that message directly or indirectly will. Always remove list footers from quoted material before replying (if your MUA doesn't do it automatically), and this scenario can't happen. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

This is the second time I've received one of these. I'm told the only way one of these could be generated is if there's a URL published out there that does this when a bot crawls it, or if someone deliberately tried to unsubscribe me. Given that I've only had two in five months, I assume it must be the latter. It doesn't matter, but I'm curious about what would motivate someone to do that. Did anyone else get one recently?

Is it > possible to remove the "bounces apendation from the sent name so > that it only shows listname@hostname? It's technically possible, but you really don't want to do that, because then all the various automatically-generated admin traffic, which now can be automatically handled *because* "listname-bounces" is a different mailbox, will be distributed to list members.[1] The underlying issue is that the mail clients your list members are using are poorly behaved by design (they do things differently from all other clients in the history of email). What well-behaved mail clients do is display the From field (the actual author), and suppress the Sender field and the envelope sender.[2] I wish I could recommend switching email programs (they're most likely Microsoft products, which are an attractive nuisance in several ways), but it's not worth it. Footnotes: [1] Strictly speaking some of it will get caught by the "administrivia" filter and the list owner will have to deal with it. But it's pretty much certain that a fair amount will make it through to the members, confusing and annoying them, and possibly revealing somewhat private information like So-and-so isn't reading their mail and their mailbox overflowed. [2] This behavior makes a lot of sense, it's not just traditional. It's quite analogous to the way that secretaries discretely indicate that they sign routine correspondence on behalf of their bosses by appending a slash and their initials (in lower case, even). What Microsoft email programs do is the equivalent of the secretary signing letters with Lowly Secretary on behalf of Bigname Lawyer Of course it's possible to find out the sinder information (with a halfway decent mail program, anyway), but you only want to do that when you're having mail problems. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://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: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Mailman-Users] mailing list address
Ben -- Oddly enough, I've just been asked to do something similar. In my case, the problem is that they want some of these headers changed around and we have 10-12 lists that sort of relate to each other. For example, they kind of really want the same FROM: for a group of four lists. At the same time, they want the digest subscribers for those four lists to see the FROM as "common_name-dig...@domain.tld". I've looked into the CookHeaders.py file, and that is certainly the place to make any changes BUT there I'm pretty certain that making the changes we're talking about will have downstream effects on: 1) automated processing of subscription requests sent via email 2) automated processing of bounces 3) processing of posts (my lists are announce-only, so less imperative to me) 4) the upgrade process, which would wipe out the changes and would need to be re-implemented after upgrades (which means reading the new file and re-integrating the changes, not a simple re-insertion of the modified code). Also, CookHeaders.py is a file used by ALL lists in a given installation and I don't think there is any list-by-list way to make changes. So, if Mark or others with more experience have ideas on how to do this without upsetting the apple cart, I'd be happy to hear about them. -- Drew Tenenholz At 9:37 AM -0400 9/3/13, benjamin_joy...@ao.uscourts.gov wrote: >Hello, > >When I send a message out through the mailing list, the "sent by" address >alwayse seems to be "listname-bounces@hostname".

Beginning with Mailman 2.1.5, the site has the option (default in 2.1.5, but not in 2.1.6+) of sending bounce probes to members who have bounced. This is controlled by the mm_cfg.py option VERP_PROBES. If VERP_PROBES = Yes, when a member's bounce score reaches the threshold instead of disabling delivery and starting the "bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings" cycle, we reset the bounce score and send a probe message like the above to the member with envelope from listname-bounces+@..., and only if and when the probe with a token for that member bounces do we disable delivery and start the "bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings" cycle. > I have never seen this before and, since our mailing list was set-up > by the Web host, I'm not familiar with the set-up.

The standard probe message does not contain the member's password. It does contain the URL of the member's options page, but no password. If the member's password was included, that would be because the host service has modified their Mailman to include it. The other subscriber addresses were presumably in the DSN that caused the bounce that was attached to the probe. > Any help would be appreciated. What is it that I am supposed to do to > stop these e-mails being sent with the other addresses. (The list is > a bit "sensitive" as far as who the subscribers are.) Thanks! Tell the hosting service to set VERP_PROBES = No in mm_cfg.py. Also, review your list's bounce processing settings since if the probe was successfully delivered, this was apparently a transient bounce situation (I can't say for sure without seeing the triggering DSN) and perhaps bounce_score_threshold is too low or bounce_info_stale_after is too long or both for this list. Also, you might suggest to the host that if DSNs are being returned to Mailman with 121 addresses, there might be some systemic email issue. Again, without seeing the DSN, I don't know whether or not this is the case. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Mailing list not sending to members
Hi everyone!! A problem I came up with is that when I was playing around with about 5 members on the list I was able to send out an email and the recipients were able to receive them too. However, when I added extra emails via "mass subscription" (approximately 150 from an old emailing list) nothing would happen afterwards when I try to send off an email. Basically, I send off an email to the mailing list address but the recipients won't receive anything at all, not even the initial 5 addresses that were working previously. The only thing that has changed is that I've initially had 5 members which had no problem but as soon as I added the 150 the recipients the problem started. Any ideas?

If the message is archived, and the list is otherwise working, then Mailman has attempted the send the message to all the non-digest list members with the following exceptions: Any list member who has "nodups" set and whose address appears in To: or Cc: of the message will not be sent a copy. The poster (From: address) will not get a copy if the poster has "not metoo" set. If the list has topics defined and a member has subscribed to one or more topics and the message matches an unsubscribed topic or no topic if the member has not elected to receive 'non-matching' posts, the member will not be sent a copy. The poster will also not see a copy if the poster uses gmail/googlemail - see <http://wiki.list.org/x/2IA9>. If you are not receiving the post, and you are a non-digest member who doesn't fall into one of the above categories, then I don't know what the problem might be. If the problem is not one of the above, download the raw archive from a URL like <http://www.example.com/mailman/private/list.mbox/list.mbox> and find a direct message that you did receive and a redirected message that you didn't receive, and try to find some difference in the headers that might explain this. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Once there are some members, they will get it too. If your confusion is that you think the list owner should have received something, that is an incorrect thought. The list owner is not a list member unless explicitly added as a member and therefore does not receive copies of normal posts just by being the owner. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

If I understand correctly, the problem is with the 'l...@test.com' list and the 't...@test.com' list works as expected. Also, if I understand, you have a process external to Mailman the sees a post to 't...@test.com' with 'hello' in the subject and forwards it to 'l...@test.com', and these posts were being held for "implicit destination" by the 'l...@test.com' list. You then set require_explicit_destination to NO on 'l...@test.com' which is one way to avoid the "implicit destination" hold, and now the posts forwarded to 'l...@test.com' just "disappear". Do they appear in the archives of 'l...@test.com'? Does 'l...@test.com' have any eligible recipients (non-digest members with delivery enabled and in some cases not an explicit addressee and not the poster). What's in Mailman's vette log.

[Mailman-Users] Mailing list + message filter problem
Does anyone know how to set up a Mailing list and make it accept e-mails from anyone and also accept email from a forwarding rule within the same domain? For example: My main e-mail address is t...@test.com and I created a list: l...@test.com. I also created a message filter that forwards any e-mail sent to t...@test.com and has the word "hello" on it's subject to the list l...@test.com. I tried changing generic_nonmember_action to accept but it still would hold the emails sent with that subject and the messages get held with the reason: "Message has implicit destination". So again I tried changing require_explicit_destination to NO. But now when I send emails with that specific word on it's subject the e-mails seem to disappear. Hope I was clear in my explanation and someone could help me. Thank you!

This will be easier in Mailman 3. Currently, you need to get a list configured as you like and save it's configuration with bin/config_list -o file LISTNAME Then you may want to edit file to remove some list specific things like owner, moderator, description, info and subject_prefix.

Fil wrote: Spam apart, does such a service exist? A mail relay that works with major email providers to have the best delivery rates? If you sign up for service with a company like ReturnPath, they have a whole list of guidelines that you need to follow in order to be on their SenderScoreCertified list. They also have partnerships with a number of large providers, so that anyone on the SenderScoreCertified list gets a big improvement in their "spam" score, and thus you are much more likely to be able to get through the spam filters to the recipients. People can still complain about you, you continue to use the existing services that you already have, and there aren't any guarantees as to how many people you will be able to reach. However, you will need to stay on your toes to keep your lists ultra-clean, otherwise you will have more problems than you know what to do with. Any e-mail service provider that claims to give you guarantees of deliverability, etc... are just blowing smoke up your ... nether regions.

Re: [Mailman-Users] mailing list filtered as spam
On 6/26/08, jeff zemla wrote: Really, I have no problem sending e-mails from my domain because I do that through Gmail. Keep in mind that spammers have hacked the CAPTCHAs for hotmail, yahoo, and gmail, and they are aggressively using these services to send out their spam. About half of the traffic we see from Yahoo is actually spam coming from compromised or bogus accounts. The situation with gmail is even worse -- not only in terms of numbers, but also in terms of what they're being used for. Unfortunately, a disproportionate amount of phishing comes from gmail. So, while we might exempt Yahoo from our reputation-based filtering and filter their messages based on content only, we are much more loathe to do that for Gmail, because phishing is so much harder to detect. Note that this is for my current employer, one of the largest public research universties in the world, with ~50,000 students and ~20,000 faculty and staff, and we run the anti-spam filtering for pretty much the entire campus through our Ironport e-mail security appliances. We're throwing away ~97% of all inbound e-mail as almost certainly being "spam", with about another ~1% being filtered out due to content. That leaves millions of messages a day that make it through the system, and yahoo and gmail are, by far, our biggest correspondent sites. Now imagine what would happen if we were forced to exempt gmail from our reputation filtering. So, are you directly affected by any of this? Maybe, maybe not. Are you likely to get caught up and washed away in the spam flood of biblical proportions, in part due to your choice in providers? Yes. -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> -------------- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 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://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9

The addition of DKIM or domain keys to your outbound list mail clearly helps get your mail through to those direct recipients whose services like gmail or yahoo check DKIM or domainkey signatures and treat mail with valid signatures favorably. Since yours is an announce only list, you don't have to worry about the signatures on incoming mail being invalidated by things the list does to the message. The problem in your case is when [EMAIL PROTECTED] subscribes to your list and alumni.example.edu, which is just a forwarding service, forwards that mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the signature may now be invalid because the IP that the message came to gmail from is that of alumni.example.com, not your IP that signed the mail or because of other transformations to the message by the forwarding service. Gmail may consider this to be worse than if the mail was unsigned. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Re: [Mailman-Users] mailing list filtered as spam
Hmm I really don't know that much about this stuff. Does this really affect me? I'm not looking for the "be all end all" of spam, as you say. At least, not spam at large. Really, I have no problem sending e-mails from my domain because I do that through Gmail. The only time when my mail gets filtered as Spam is when I send out messages on my announce-only mailing list. So as long as it continues to keep my announcements out of users' spam boxes, I'm happy. Should I be worried?

Re: [Mailman-Users] mailing list filtered as spam
Thanks Brian and Brad. Thankfully the solution was not so painful. I e-mail Hostgator, explained the situation, and asked if I could be moved to a different server/ip address. They got back to me quickly, saying: "I have installed something called DomainKeys on your domains which helps prevent free email services like yahoo and gmail from marking emails from a domain as spam." And he told me a few other things in case that didn't work. But wouldn't you know it, it worked perfectly! So for anyone else on shared hosting who may run into this problem--tell your host to install DomainKeys! Thanks again guys!

But seeing as the website has no content on it (just a line of text that says "Things will be here shortly") i dont know why gmail would have a preconceived notion that it's a spamming site. This is one problem with reputation-based systems for detecting potential spam. You may have a nearby network neighbor that is responsible for generating a lot of spam (which seems likely, seeing as you say you bought the domain from hostgator.com). Or, the IP address you were assigned may have been used by spammers before it was re-assigned to you. There are a whole host of other reputational issues that you may be dealing with, but this should give you some idea. Fixing a tarnished reputation is hard. Very hard. Spammers don't care, since they just move on to somewhere else. But for the rest of us, it's a real pain. In the case of the first problem mentioned above (guilt by association), you're probably being caught by a blacklist that covers whole networks of machines, and there may not be any way for you to get off these blacklists. If you're on an IP-address specific blacklist, you may be able to get your provider to issue you a new address that is not blacklisted, or you may be able to get those blacklist owners to update their list to remove your address. Another option would be to move your domain and services to another provider, one that is much less friendly to spammers, and avoids both of the problems mentioned above. You could potentially sign up for service with a company like Habeas (for their "Safe List" service) or Return Path (for their "Sender Score Certified" service). If you're a small non-profit, they'll charge you a one-time fee, examine how your systems are set up and that you meet all appropriate "best practices" requirements, and then that will be that. If you're not a small non-profit, they'll do the same thing for you, but they'll charge you an annual fee. Habeas has the better reputation in the business, but is more expensive. Both are supported out-of-the-box with SpamAssassin, so they'll not only help you with all of the other customers with whom they have existing contracts and use the Habeas "Safe List" as a whitelist for incoming e-mail, but will also help you with anyone who runs a relatively generic install of SpamAssassin. Again, Habeas helps with sites running SpamAssassin more than Return Path, by improving your score by a full 8.0 points instead of just 4.0 points, and many sites run with 10.0 points being a guaranteed non-spam message, and 5.0 being a probable non-spam message. Any ideas?

I've used mailman before through my University and never had a problem with requests being filtered as spam. Basically, when I try to add an e-mail account to the mailing list, it goes into my Gmail spam box.

But seeing as the website has no content on it (just a line of text that says "Things will be here shortly") i dont know why gmail would have a preconceived notion that it's a spamming site. Any ideas? End original message. - It is quite possible that the ISP you are using has hosted domains that were a problem and gmail is filtering on the fact that your domain is hosted in their IP address block. It is also quite possible that they are being quite draconian about the content of the message. Either way, the only way you will know for certain what is happening is if you contact their technical support (if you can actually get an answer out of them, they may well ignore your request too).

It can be set lower or higher, and it can be set to 0 for no limit, but note that if you set it either to 0 or a large value, your server can be used a spam reflector or for 'Joe Jobbing'.

[Mailman-Users] Mailing list commands being limited?
We have an automated system that programmatically adds users to lists using the email command functionality (subscribe nodigest address=$theemailaddress). Though, some of the lists are large and occasionally we get the returned email response: "We have received a message from your address [EMAIL PROTECTED]' requesting an automated response from the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.

Brad has given lots of good advice already in this thread including a reference to <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.078.htp>. I want to emphasise that, as the thread seems to be concentrating more on NFS. In particular, look at Mailman's 'smtp' log and correlate that with your MTA logs. Normally, you will see in your MTA log that a post has been delivered to Mailman at some time and then you will see an entry Mailman's 'smtp' log x seconds later which says " smtp for n recips, completed in y seconds". Normally x is only slightly larger (less than 2 seconds) than y. y is the time for all the SMTP transactions to deliver the mail to the n list recipients, and y-x is the sum of the times the message was queued in Mailman's in and out queues and Mailman's non-SMTP processing time. Also, are the 'missing' posts in the list's archive? Do the delayed posts appear in the archive without delay? -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

We regularly did several million mail messages per day, after filtering out 95-99% of the incoming flood as spam. One thing I learned is that, many times when you have a problem, it's with a part where you think everything is okay. I'm not saying that I'm definite you're wrong about this, I'm just saying that you shouldn't necessarily be making any assumptions about where your problems lie, but you should instead be prepared to measure and be certain. >Both mail servers mount the /home for > the usernames, and everything is stored in Maildir.

Riight. Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine, especially when it comes to something like Maildir. Part of the problem is that Maildir does a number of things that are not necessary in order to solve the problem(s) it was trying to solve, and it doesn't fully solve even those issues. Meanwhile, it introduces a whole host of new issues, and this makes Maildir a much less than ideal solution for the problem. There are other mailbox directory solutions which really do resolve the issues in question and without introducing a whole host of new problems to deal with. Again, I'm not saying you should be forced to switch, just that you should be aware of the potential issues with your chosen solution, and you should be able to fully troubleshoot and deal with those problems. > Mailman is installed on both mail servers. /usr/lib/mailman is NOT > NFS mounted (meaning its installed on both machines), however I've NFS > mounted the /var/lib/mailman directory, where all the lists and such are. This is sounding like a binary package install version of Mailman. That's not where we put things in the source version from the gnu.org/lists.org website. In our version, you can put all of /usr/local/mailman on NFS, and as well as NFS can be made to work for anything, it should work for Mailman. This includes the Mailman queues as well as the archives, the source code, the compiled-on-demand object code, the whole kitten-and-caboodle. > Now, with that being said, you mentioned that Mailman can be unfriendly > when placed in an NFS environment. How can I test to see that it is an > NFS issue with Mailman? It's not Mailman per se. It's *anything* on NFS. Mailman will work about as well on NFS as anything else can possibly work on NFS, but simply throwing NFS into the mix is likely to cause a whole host of new issues that you're going to have to deal with that other site administrators might not. These aren't Mailman problems per se, but NFS problems that cause problems with applications running on NFS, such as Mailman. Now, your NFS server will have a huge impact on what problems you see and what tools you have available to you to help resolve those. Generally speaking, if you're using high-end equipment like Network Appliance, EMC, or Hitachi Data Systems, then if you have any problems you should be talking to your account representative and your support team. They're going to know much more about your hardware than we do, and they should know enough about your application to be useful. NetApp, EMC, and HDS have gotten their stuff down to the point where Oracle actually certifies their products as being suitable for use on these servers, whereas Oracle explicitly rules out any support for their products on other NFS servers. There's a reason for this. So, the hardware you have available to you will have a huge impact on your systems. > I'll take a look at those docs and reply back to here. Thanks again.

When you say they share a common NFS point, are you trying to use NFS for the postfix mail queue (which is a really, really bad idea), or just for the user mailboxes (which is also usually a bad idea, although it can be made somewhat less bad if you choose a mailbox format that is less NFS-unfriendly)? Mailman itself is about as NFS-friendly as can be reasonably done, but that still leaves a lot of room for problems. Many of the other parts of most mail systems are much, much less NFS-friendly than Mailman. > Please forgive me, as I'm very new to Mailman.

[Mailman-Users] Mailing List - people say their e-mails "never appear"
Hi all, I just installed Mailman on our load balanced Postfix servers. Both servers share a common NFS point. Please forgive me, as I'm very new to Mailman. While I know my way around Postfix, troubleshooting Mailman is another issue. I can see that e-mail gets sent and delivered to the particular mailing list in question, but sometimes people tell me their e-mails never get posted to the mailing list. Other people say they submit their post, and it eventually gets there, after 10 or so minutes. Since I don't know how to troubleshoot Mailman, I can only suspect that is has something to do with the NFS, although another part of me is telling me that it can't be. Can you folks push me in the right direction? What should I be troubleshooting? Is there anything I can provide so that you folks can help me troubleshoot further? Thanks in advance.

[Mailman-Users] Mailing list issue
Hey guys. I have two different mailing lists on two different domains. One has been in operation for some time ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and the other is new ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The new rockhound list is doing something that is causing me fits. The "From" address looks like this: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED]) On my Identity list, it simply looks like this: From: Shop Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The added header information ³(sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED])² is really interfering with people¹s ability to receive messages as spam software seems to be grabbing these emails. I have compared preferences for both sites, and I don¹t know what is different. How can I fix this??? Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailing List Configuration Files
Mark, Just in cast you want to make note of this or for any future readers who are looking for the same thing...the location of mailman under a cPanel install is in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman After figuring that out running the config_list -o command worked perfect. The only other problem I had was with the list name. I first tried the name if the list without the domain name and it would not accept it. I then tried it with the domain, but also with the @ symbol. That wasn't accepted either. I then tried using the underscore in place of the @ like it is shown in the mailman admin and it outputted exactly what I wanted. Thanks again for your help.

[Mailman-Users] Mailing List subscriptions are 'frozen'
I searched the archives for this issue and did not find any relevant messages, so I was hoping someone could help me. We've been running mailman 2.1.4 on Solaris for about 2 years and in the last week the subscription confirmations have seemingly stopped being sent to users. In looking at the subscription log, it's only been able to process 11 new subscriptions today, vs. 5000 pending ones. Now, the 5000+ subscription requests seems odd, since that would match the total number of subscribers to all lists, so I assume those are attempts by spam-subscribers. Do we need to dump out the confirmation queue? Does mailman eventually get full of bad (spam) sign-up attempts?

It looks like Vexim is trying to obtain the group under which to run
the pipe from a mysql database, and the database doesn't have an entry
for the 'users' list (address local part).

Mailman will, for the most part, transmit to the mailing list recipients whatever you send to it. You can configure filtering and conversion so that HTML gets stripped to plain text, and so that unsupported attachment types get removed, but that's it. If you want HTML-formatted messages to be sent to your recipients, then you need to write HTML-formatted messages for them to read. How you do that is going to be dependant on whatever program you use to read and write e-mail. -- Brad Knowles, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 Founding Individual Sponsor of LOPSA.
