G'day all,
I can't seem to get acceptable_aliases to work...
(domain names changed to protect the innocent, but all match up)
[email protected] = List email address
[email protected] = Google group (google group has one email address which is
[email protected]
[email protected] is a member of the mailman list and is set for nomail
User [email protected] sends email to [email protected]
List receives email and bounces with:
List: [email protected]
From: [email protected]
Subject: Testing
Reason: Post by non-member to a members-only list
The above is correct as user [email protected] is not a member of the
mailman list
And that is the entire issue. acceptable_aliases and
require_explicit_destination have nothing to do with this.
In the email header there is
To: <[email protected]>
I have in acceptable_aliases (tried various things)
[email protected]
"[email protected]"
.*[email protected].*
and require_explicit_destination is yes
I believe that should allow email sent to [email protected] to be accepted by
the list, maybe I am reading this all wrong?
All that does is avoid the message's being held for "implicit
destination" it doesn't bypass other checks.
If I am doing this wrong how do I get a google email to send to mailman
and be accepted?
There are a few of choices.
You can set Privacy options... -> Sender filters ->
generic_nonmember_action to Accept in order to accept posts from any
nonmember, but you may not want that.
You can ensure that everyone sending mail to [email protected] is a member of
the [email protected] list.
You can make use of the fact that mailman considers a post to be from a
member if any of the From:, Reply-To: Sender: or envelope sender
addresses is a list member. Posts from google groups generally have no
Sender: header, and the envelope sender is something like
'[email protected]' where the
'bncbcn2p7unuujrbfxhspsakgqe7gew6fa' may not be constant. However,
messages from Google Groups have a
Reply-To: [email protected]
header. If that address is a member of your list, it should be OK. You
say [email protected] is a member of your list. Is that an address you control
which forwards to the google group?. If so, you want to make
[email protected] a member of your list set to nomail. If in
fact by [email protected] you mean the actual [email protected]
address, then I don't know what the problem is.
