Does this question from the FAQ (http://www.list.org/faq.html) sound at all like what you're seeing? Q. I set member_posting_only to yes because I want to limit posts to members only, however it seems like all messages coming from members are held for approval. Why? A. There appears to be a problem on some systems where the envelope sender (e.g. the Unix "From " line) is set incorrectly. This will cause a negative match when checking to see if the sender is a member of the list. Until 1.0b12, Mailman defaulted to using the envelope sender before the sender (i.e. "From:" header) because the former is set by the SMTP agent while the latter is easily spoofable by the end user. [ The possible causes for envelope sender munging taking place are many, but the "owner-alias" sendmail feature probably deserves special mention: If mail arrives for list "foo", and there is an alias entry for "owner-foo" as well, the envelope sender of the message will be changed to the single-level expansion of the "owner-foo" alias. Code has been included in post-1.0rc2 Mailman releases to try working around the problem this (unconfigurable) sendmail feature constitutes. Prior to this, some people worked around the problem by not including the suggested "owner-LISTNAME" alias entries for Mailman lists in their alias files. ] However, if you are having this problem, you may opt to favor the From: header over the envelope sender. Do this by adding the following line to your mm_cfg.py file: USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER=0 if you want (arguably) more security, add this to your mm_cfg.py file: USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER=1 However, read the comments about this variable in the Defaults.py file for a full discussion of the issues. By default, Mailman 2.0 relies on the From: header for doing address matching. - -- "The gift of compressing the largest number of words into the smallest amount of thought" - -Winston Churchill, on Prime Minister Ramsay McDonald (whom Churchill also labeled "the boneless wonder") -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9Rs2y+5AbbCEHPXwRAtoUAKCHPaeU5Asse+WqDiUmbInJJQkYggCeL4xe G3tyy/hZCWr7SH5A46/Dfd0= =3bwB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------ 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/
