Re: [Mailman-Users] All AOL unsubscribed

2014-12-13 Thread Ed Ravin
AOL, AOL, AOL - they always do things a bit differently.  I can't fully
blame them as they probably are still the #1 target of spammers.

As others have written, the most important information is in the outgoing
SMTP logs so you can see what AOL said, if anything, about why they are
refusing the mail.

You will also find useful information at the links below, provided by AOL
to help the rest of the world navigate their unique email processing:

 Hi, I know from past experience that the OS X version of Mailman is met with 
 some contempt because of what Apple did with it .. but I have it working well 
 for several years on a 10.7.5 Lion Server, and it has been very stable.

Note that there's also a version from MacPorts:

$ port list mailman
mailman@2.1.13 mail/mailman

[this is on my Mountain Lion box, your mileage may vary]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mountain Lion server trouble

2014-11-09 Thread Ed Ravin
This is why it's important to keep server configurations in a
configuration management system, like Chef, Puppet, cfengine, Ansible,
Salt Stack, etc.  When set up right, the configuration management
will put back any unwanted OS changes, or at the very least tell
after an upgrade what files no longer contain your edits.

 1. Mostly good news - after the OS and server.app upgrades, mailman was 
 (mostly) running. The only thing that was not working was the web interface. 
 After a bit of investigation, I found that the upgrade overwrote 
 /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf, so that file had to 
 be edited (again) to add the following:
 
   #Mailman
   Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-mailman.conf
 
 I put the above right after Include 
 /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/other/*.conf. Apache must be restarted 
 after the edit.

[Mailman-Users] Squirrelmail and wrapped messages

2014-10-25 Thread Ed Ravin
I've converted a list to Mailman, and as I posted previously, I
decided to use wrapped messages to keep AOL's hairtrigger spam
filters from discarding incoming messages from AOL users.

Now I'm getting complaints from Outlook 2007 and Squirrelmail
users that the messages from Mailman show up as text attachments
that aren't automatically displayed or previewed.

It looks like Outlook 2007 users can turn previewing on, but I don't
see any such options for Squirrelmail.

How have other Mailman admins dealt with this?

I wonder if it's possible to to make wrapped messages a user preference,
or have them only turned on for certain domains as discussed previously.
Is this a patch that would be accepted in the future?

[Mailman-Users] AOL screening Reply-To header thru DMARC ?

2014-10-18 Thread Ed Ravin
I'm setting up a new Mailman server to replace an elderly MajorDomo
that isn't DMARC-compatible.

I set up the list to use the list's address as the From address and to
put the sender's address in Reply-To:.  I started playing around with a
test list - in no time at all, AOL began bouncing all my mail.

After researching AOL's error messages, it appeared that my server
had been temporarily blacklisted.  That went away but then I noticed
this error:

   Oct 18 01:01:26 vc18 postfix/smtp[25098]: C77D416B4D9: host 
mailin-01.mx.aol.com[152.163.0.67] said: 421 4.2.1 :  (RLY:SN) 
http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/421rlysn.html (in reply to end of DATA 
command)

According to that URL on AOL's site, either my From or Reply-To is using an
address in violation of DMARC.  I had already checked the From address so
it was apparent the Reply-To was at fault.  Aalthough the mail was not
being rejected, given AOL's hair-trigger sensors I figured it would be
better to do it their way.   Changing the  Reply-To: to the list's address
got rid of the 421 error.

Has anyone else run into this?  I hate doing this, since now we're going
to see people sending what they think are private messages to the entire
list.

I see from the docs that Mailman can do different behavior on the From:
address depending on whether it is in a DMARC-protected domain - are there
any plans to do the same for the Reply-To?  Looks to me like it will be
necessary given what AOL is doing.

Thanks,

 I have a somewhat different issue. I am using dmarc_moderation_action =
 Munge From, and when an AOL user posts to the list, the list message
 sent back to the user bounces with 521 5.2.1 :  AOL will not accept
 delivery of this message. (in reply to end of DATA command)). The same
 messages sent to other AOL users are accepted by AOL.

From your lips to AOL's ears!  I'm seeing that too.  A message
from an AOL user was bounced when sent back to the original user,
and AOL also bounced it going to the other AOL recipient on the test
list.

I think I'm going to have to set every AOL user to no metoo, and
tell them if they want to see confirmation of their posts they need
to turn ack on.  I just tested it and there's no bouncing.  But
that's probably going to be a headache to maintain, so maybe I'll
switch to wrapped messages.
