See the NEWS file at <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/view/head:/NEWS> for all the features and bug fixes since 2.1.17. > My primary issue with MM 2.1.17 is about list messages from members who don't > have their human names configured into their email clients, resulting in a > list message from an unknown.

I just know that it's been over 2 years since 2.1.17 which has an > annoying omission due the the whole DEMARC thing. You have set from_is_list to Munge From. As Andrew says, in 2.1.18 and beyond, there is a more selective dmarc_moderation_action setting that does this munging only for post From: a domain with DMARC policy p=reject and optionally p=quarantine. Also, at some point (see the NEWS file for when) this munging was fixed to use the user's real_name list setting if the display name was not in the email. > What are the advantages of upgrading beyond 2.1.17? > How best to make a good case to convince them to upgrade their MailMan? > What version should I ask for? You should look at the NEWS for all the things that are enhanced/fixed since 2.1.17. You should ask for the latest possible version. Note that the Mailman that manages this and over 300 other @python.org lists is at the head of the 2.1 branch at <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1/>. The latest 'official release' is 2.1.22 and 2.1.23 is coming soon. It is possible, even likely, that your hosting company has installed a downstream packege (.rpm or .deb) for which there is no upgrade available. In this case, upgrading may be tricky, but at least if it is Debian/Ubuntu, see <https://wiki.list.org/x/17891606>, and in any case, we're here to help. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
