On 6/1/06 7:51 AM, Dewhirst, Rob [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a mailing list set up to send monthly password reminders. Today, two of these reminder messages ended up in the Administrative requests for the list as being posted to the list from non-members. Coincidentally, the subscriber's email addresses are [EMAIL PROTECTED] Their email address usernames are the same as the name of the problematic list sending out the password reminders, but their complete email address is in another domain. I am running Mailman 2.1.8 on RHEL4 with Exim. Any ideas? I suppose I could post headers if this is not clear. Exim is seeing just the local part of the addresses when it processes aliases. I don't know how RedHat is packaging Mailman--assuming that's how you installed Mailman. I see that our installation would have the same problem, now that I look at our Exim configuration on the Mailman machine: mailman_router: driver = accept require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/$local_part/config.pck local_part_suffix_optional local_part_suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* : \ -confirm+* : -join : -leave : \ -owner : -request : -admin transport = mailman_transport In other words, if the local part of an address matches a list name, exim will treat the address as something to send to the list. Now that you've pointed out the problem, it would appear that the school solution for Exim configuration for lists is flawed. (And has worked at many sites for many years.) I think there should probably be something like domains = +mailman_domains as a condition in the router. Where that list would be defined in the early part of the configuration as something like domainlist mailman_domains = mailman.example.com : lists.example.com as needed (the above would be right for us were we example.com). An Exim macro could also be used, as was done with MAILMAN_HOME in the above. The above is top-of-the-head, and untested. I wonder whether the published solution ought to be changed. Note that if one is doing virtual domains--in the limited way Mailman does it now, it would be better to fill the mailman_domains list by reading a file, which could be managed by whatever software establishes lists in domains. When Mailman begins allowing real virtual hosting, the Exim solution will need to be changed, perhaps using a series of routers imported from a file managed by the management software (Exim does handle import statements in its configuration file--a feature which the stock Debian configuration for Exim exercises heavily). -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

Make sure the hosts are defined properly (as virtual host sets: URL and
Mailhost), then run withlist using the fix_url.py module on your list.
You might want to backup the list config file first.

Any ideas?
If you are supporting four virtual domains then you probably want to
say the following in your mm_cfg.py, before restarting mailmanctl and
using fix_url
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'box.mailhostname.tld'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'box.webhostname.tld'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
add_virtualhost('your.webhostname-1.tld', 'your.mailhostname-1.tld')

Re: [Mailman-Users] Password Reminders
There is also a per-list option, which I believe controls this. (I haven't actually experimented to make sure it works as I expect it to, though!). On the list's General Options page, a little more than half way down, you'll find Send monthly password reminders or no?. So you ought to be able to turn this off only for lists where it's inappropriate, but leave it on (leave the cron job on!) for lists where it is appropriate. --jessica Richard Idalski wrote: It should be nothing more than a matter of commenting out a cron entry.

The mailing list I run is one which passwords are not needed because people opt-in to the mailing list, no welcome message was distributed, so no password has been displayed to anyone. Is there a way, does anyone know, of turning off the monthly reminders? I am currently running mailman 2.0.5 but is not hosted in-house and I have little to no control over upgrading.
