Re: [Mailman-Users] Change of member address via web fails
Nancy Shoemaker wrote I'm one of those who does not have access to the command line utilities (Mailman installed on shared hosting via control panel). Our list admins (we have about 500 lists and 300 admins) are in the same situation: they do not have access to the Mailman server and command line scripts, and thus must administer lists via web. Although I am a site admin and could help by running clone_member script, I'd much prefer that this task is left to list admins. The link provided by Mark Sapiro: Feature Request: Admin change subscriber's e-mail https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/266809 shows that the issue is not a new one, so I am looking forward to this feature in Mailman 3.

Re: [Mailman-Users] can I use a mailman list address as a (qmail) sender address?

I think all you need to do is create the mailing list as usual, and then create the system user with the same name. The mailing list's explicit alias should take precedence. I was finally able to try it and did not succeed. I created the mailing list address dt...@mydomain.com (using my real domain instead of mydomain, of course) and when I tried to add an email address with the same name through PLESK I got an error message telling me that the email address already existed. Then I tried to add an account (role: mail user) with this email address through PLESK then I got the explicit message that a mailing list with this name already existed in this domain. Anyone another idea? Again,I need the VERY SAME address for the SMTP account because only then will replies to incoming messages (through the mailing list) automatically select the correct sender profile in Thunderbird and other mailers. If I use a different name for the SMTP account, the mailers of the list users will always select the default profile for replies which is exactly what I want to avoid.

You misunderstood me -- incoming messages (through the list) have the to-header set to the list address. If I have my MUA set up with a profile that has the *same* email address, then any reply to list messages are sent with this profile. If I really can not create a mail user with the same address on my system (for sending the replies) then the profile is not selected automtically, instead the default profile is used, no matter how similar the addresses for sending and receiving are.

Best regards, Stefan. You can set up a profile in your MUA with the address of the mailing list without the MTA having an account by that address. You will just need to manually config the SMTP authorization for an account that does exist. This is common enough of a situation that I would expect most MUAs to allow this sort of customization (if only because you need at least to be able to select whether the username for authentication includes the domain or not). Unless your MTA is VERY locked down and doesn't allow for From != Authentication, this should work (and if it was locked down this hard, mailing list mail would be having problems too). Even if it does default to this sort of restriction, it should have some way to override it, but that may not be exposed in the PLESK control panel. -- Richard Damon -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

If it does, also check mm_cfg.py for a DEFAULT_NEW_MEMBER_OPTIONS setting containing this bit. If all of the above indicates reminders and welcome messages should be sent, try running 'cron/mailpasswds -l LISTNAME' and subscribing a new member and check Mailman's 'smtp' log and the MTA logs to see if the messages are being sent and what's happening to them. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
