Hi All,

I'm having a problem with outlook.com and mailman. When I'm trying to
send a message through Outlook.com marks it as spam, but when I'm
sending a message from the same domain (and IP address), it is accepted
without a hitch.

Underneath the headers of a message that is rejected at outlook.com:


Rejected or marked as spam? They are not the same. And if it was
rejected, where did you find the headers?


They are moved into the unwanted box, so I was able to view the message 
and headers from there.






*Is there anybody who can help me solving this problem?


Probably only Microsoft, but the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/4oA9
may help.



The interesting part for me is that this problem only applies to mail 
sent through mailman, if I'm sending an email to the same address from 
the same domain name it is accepted without a problem, so I'm thinking 
that there is something in the headers that triggers this reaction at 
outlook.com.


p.s. the messages are accepted without a problem at gmail.com (I haven't 
tried any other major mail providers).


Greetings,
Tim Sterk

So they were not rejected but rather marked as spam and put in a spam
box rather than the inbox. Had they been rejected, you wouldn't have
seen them at all, and they would have been recorded as a bounce by Mailman.

Exactly. It could be the 'Precedence: list' header or some other header
or combination of headers, but only Microsoft knows for sure, and they
won't tell you because they consider it proprietary information which
would be useful to spammers.

Since you apparently use Mutt and have your own server, you could
experiment by resending the message directly with all Mailman's added
headers and delete headers one by one to find the header(s) that trigger
it, but it is possible that this is a more complex situation than that
which depends on the presence of certain headers in combination together
with body contents.

[Mailman-Users] Changing list name

2013-10-09 Thread William McQueen
I've been asked to change a list I manage to a different name. How is that
done?

If that can't be done, how would I transfer all of the subscribers to a
newly created list, *without* asking these very, very busy folks to
resubscribe.

Thanks,
Bill in Toronto

newlist, list_members, add_members with respective options (or indeed,
respective steps via the web interface)
