Re: [Mailman-Users] Problems sending to prodigy.net mail server addresses

2019-02-11 Thread Richard Johnson
I sent postmas...@prodigy.net an email, and again, after the first one didn't 
receive a reply.  They finally replied to both messages saying it was a problem 
on their side (which I think we all knew already. :)  They said to send them 
another note if it happens again.

We'll see...

Thanks to all for the sanity check!

[Mailman-Users] Problems sending to prodigy.net mail server addresses

2019-02-04 Thread Richard Johnson
I run a small mailman server for our historical recreation group.  Lately, I've 
been seeing messages like:

: host al-ip4-mx-vip1.prodigy.net[144.160.235.143] said:
  550 5.7.1 Connections not accepted from servers without a valid sender
  domain.alph733 Fix reverse DNS for 149.28.67.38 (in reply to MAIL FROM
  command)

The addresses "email@hostname" is actually the failed recipient address.  The 
two giving problems are at pacbell.net and sbcglobal.net.  I assume their email 
is handled by prodigy.net.

What seems strange is that MOST of the time messages go through just fine, but 
ever now-and-then I'll get this failure notice.

The messages are all sent to the mailing list "cor...@cortha.org".  I have the 
mailing list setup with "host_name" set as "cortha.org", so that the address 
used in the messages will be "cor...@cortha.org" and replies will go there.  
The system which is actually handling the mailing list is officially named 
"peacock.place", but an MX points there from cortha.org.  The reverse DNS (PTR) 
record gives the peacock.place name, since that's the official hostname.

If Prodigy is comparing the From: address with the PTR record, then, yes, it 
will not agree.  This would be crazy, since the PTR can only point to one 
hostname and is supposed to be the official hostname.  I believe I have my DKIM 
and DMARC info correct as well.

Personally, I think Prodigy just has a problem with no one else has and it 
seems to be their own, but I'm wondering if there's some way to work with them?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Re: [Mailman-Users] Question re. moving a mailing list

2018-09-14 Thread Richard Johnson
Ok, it looks as if specifying my "General Options" -> "Host name this list 
prefers for email" as "mischievous.us" will force the From address on all 
outgoing messages to say "testl...@mischievous.us".  Since that matches with 
the original To address, then a Reply-all will not produce two addresses.

I think this will work for me and then when I'm ready to really move totally 
over, I'll just change it.

Thanks for the help!

[Mailman-Users] Question re. moving a mailing list

2018-09-14 Thread Richard Johnson
I have my original test mailing list "testl...@mischievous.us".  I copied it to 
be "testlist@peacock.place" and then aliased "testlist" on mischievous.us to go 
to "testlist@peacock.place".  This works fine.  My "General Options" has "Munge 
From", so the From address always says "testlist@peacock.place", when 
peacock.place is sending out the messages.  This works fine.

My issue is that the mail sent out says:

From: testlist@peacock.place
To: testl...@mischievous.us
Cc: 

such that when I do a Reply-all, I get a message addressed as:

To: testlist@peacock.place
Cc: testl...@mischievous.us

I notice that I don't seem to receive any duplicate messages.  Perhaps Mailman 
is taking care of that for me, which is great!  I had expected that my 
configuration in /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py of:

MTA = 'Postfix'
OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = Yes
RCPT_BASE64_HEADER_NAME = 'X-My-Recip'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'peacock.place'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'peacock.place'
add_virtualhost('mischievous.us', 'peacock.place')
add_virtualhost('peacock.place', 'peacock.place')
add_virtualhost('www.peacock.place', 'peacock.place')

would have maybe told it that "mischievous.us" is another way of sending to 
this same mailing list and thus it wouldn't include the CC, but maybe I'm 
missing something?

[Mailman-Users] Something wrong with moving a list

2018-08-22 Thread Richard Johnson
I recently moved a list from one server to another.  Probably I missed 
something.  Everything seems to be correct except that the footer which should 
be produced (using "Personalize: yes") doesn't get the values substituted with 
the real info.  It looks like this:

%(real_name)s mailing list
%(real_name)s@%(host_name)s
%(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s

Is there something obvious I'm missing?

Re: [Mailman-Users] How to force retry queue to try again?

2018-08-06 Thread Richard Johnson
Thanks, I'll keep this information around for future reference!  In the 
meantime, the queue was automatically retried and the changes I made to postfix 
configuration were correct, so the mail was delivered just fine!

(Mailman seems to deliver outgoing list messages to the local SMTP server via 
"::1".  I was expecting 127.0.0.1.  I wasn't expecting ipv6!  ["Nobody expects 
ipv6!"])   :)

I tried this just now, adding "%(user_address)" to the footer, and I'm geting:

Warning: The following illegal substitution variables were found in the 
msg_footer string: user_address

(I included "OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = Yes" into mm_cfg.py, and I did 
bin/mailmanctl restart.)

What version of mailman are you using?  Mine is 2.1.22, which I know is old.

Thanks for the suggestion!  I'll try it out.

As for routing directly to spam, I actually thought of that and asked him to 
verify that wasn't the case.  He says he has no such filter.

I'm hoping that if I can provide proof that it's him, he'll take it more 
seriously and take a closer look.  At any rate, if I can prove it's him, I'll 
have justification for removing him from the list or at least ask if he has a 
different email address I can use.

[Mailman-Users] How to track down someone mislabeling msgs as abuse?

2018-06-25 Thread Richard Johnson
I have a mailing list which has 51 members, all friends of mine.  We use it to 
communicate on things related to our history club.  About 1-2 times a month, I 
receive an automated message from AOL's abuse list, saying that someone has 
marked one of the messages as "abuse".  Unfortunately, there's no way to track 
down who this could be, since there are about 5 addresses on the list which are 
AOL addresses.  All I get is this:

Feedback-Type: abuse
User-Agent: AOL SComp
Version: 0.1
Received-Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2018 10:04:00 -0400 (EDT)
Source-IP: 98.173.52.230
Reported-Domain: mischievous.us
Redacted-Address: redacted
Redacted-Address: redacted@

Along with also a copy of the original message.

Using the "Received-Date" header, I can see that it looks as if the timing 
would point to one particular list member, but he says he's not doing anything 
like that.  (As a matter of fact, he has told me, on a few occasions, that he 
didn't even see the message in question at all!)

I've read that some people have addressed this by inserting a unique string at 
the end of each person's message.  I don't see a way to do this with Mailman 
2.1.22.  Would something like this be possible with more recent versions such 
as 2.1.27, or even the latest 3.x version?  Are there other ways to address 
this?  I don't want to reprimand the person, I just want to educate them to not 
mark list messages as abuse!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Mailman-Users] How to remove "cc" of sender but retain "sender"?

2018-03-08 Thread Richard Johnson
Hi!  I hope this isn't just a matter of my not having searched enough!  I 
searched through all of the configuration I see, but didn't find a way to 
configure a mailing list to (1) set the "From" as the list address, while also 
(2) NOT including the sender in to any "CC" list, and instead including the 
sender in a "Sender" header.  Why do I want this?  I want all replies to go 
back to the list, but without any CC's going back to the sender, and while 
still retaining enough Sender information so that people can see from whom the 
message originated.

Maybe there's some better way or some good reason why I really don't want this?

(What I'm seeing is that some mail user agents will sometimes include the 
sender of the message to which they are replying as well as their own address 
into a "CC" list.  I'm hoping to avoid the duplicate messages, if possible.)

[Mailman-Users] Some recipients not receiving messages?

2017-07-09 Thread Richard Johnson
I'm not sure what's going on here.  My mailing list has 47 recipients, yet when 
a message is sent to it, the "smtp" log sometimes says it's been delivered to 
40 recipients and sometimes to 41 recipients.  Questions:

(1) Why not "47" recipients, since that's the number on the list?
(2) Why sometimes "40" and sometimes "41"?
(3) Is there a way to see the entire list of recipients sent for each message 
received?

Thanks for any help!

Re: [Mailman-Users] Why do some get digests as a series of attachments?

2016-09-03 Thread Richard Johnson
Actually, my list is setup to send all digests in text format.  I was toying 
with the idea of sending in MIME format. Maybe that would be better?

But it sounds as if you're saying that a user can specify that they want MIME 
instead of there configured version, somewhere in their personal config?

[Mailman-Users] Why do some get digests as a series of attachments?

2016-09-02 Thread Richard Johnson
This is strange.  One of my list users gets digest messages as a series of 
attachments, while all other users receive digests as all text, with the 
messages one after the other.

The person who gets the attachments has a Cox.net address.  Maybe they're doing 
something to it?

Re: [Mailman-Users] DMARC problems

2016-07-15 Thread Richard Johnson
This is described as:

> Action to take when anyone posts to the list from a domain with a DMARC 
> Reject/Quarantine Policy.

but the problem I'm getting is:

https://help.yahoo.com/kb/postmaster/SLN7253.html

which seems to be caused by the "From" address not matching the domain name 
wince the message was sent.  I think in order to satisfy this, I need to simply 
apply "from_is_list"="Munge From".  When I apply this along with 
"reply_goes_to_list"="This list", then the original sender's address appears in 
the "CC" list, which is ok, since most people just hit "reply" and not "reply 
all".  I created a test list and played with it, looking at the SMTP 
interaction to verify that yahoo seems to think this is fine.

[Mailman-Users] DMARC problems

2016-07-15 Thread Richard Johnson
I've been running a number of mailing lists for quite a while and never noticed 
any problems until I setup one which has some yahoo and hotmail addresses on 
it.  Now I have to deal with the DMARC problem.  :(

Looking at:

https://wiki.list.org/DEV/DMARC

I see it says:

> In 2.1.16 a from_is_list feature was implemented which if enabled by a site 
> configuration option would offer a list admin the ability to either:

> message with From: and Reply-To: as above.

I'm running 2.1.17 and the only thing I see which seems related to this is the 
"anonymous list" option under General Options.  Is this what's being referred 
to here, or is there some other "site configuration" (i.e., per-site 
configuration?) method somewhere?

Re: [Mailman-Users] How to actively read the list online?

2016-07-08 Thread Richard Johnson
Thanks for the reply and thanks for showing me a working link for HyperKitty.  
I saw mention of HyperKitty on the net but didn't see any example screens, so I 
wasn't sure if it would be worth the trouble of downloading/installing or not.  
It actually looks like the closest match to what I was looking for, but it's 
true that I don't know if it does automatic updates.

I'll check into HyperKitty.  Thanks!
