Hey folks, I hope you don't mind another question from a Mailman "newbie". I am another of the Mac enthusiasts who have moved over to OS X in the past couple of years, and am enjoying expanding my knowledge to include some UNIX basics.
I've noticed a strange problem whereby Mailman appears to munge the "From" address when it contains both a name and an address, and the name contains a period. The setup: Mailman 2.0.7 on OS X 10.1.2, with Postfix (20010228-pl08) as the MTA. The list in question is called "test", and restricts postings to subscribed users. If I send a message, and the "From" header is set to: Matthew E. Shames <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mailman rejects it because it states that it is being sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Additionally, it tries to send a bounce message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is not a valid address, so the postmaster (also me) gets notified. Now, if I set the "From" header to: Matthew Shames <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> the message goes through without any incident. Additionally, if I set member_posting_only to false, messages from either scenario make it through without incident. I'm not completely sure if this is a postfix issue, or a mailman issue, or something else. However, I don't seem to have this issue when sending non-list mail through postfix. I hope this makes sense--I'd be happy to explain further. If anyone has any insights, I'd be most grateful. Thanks, matt ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
