To override the From: address, at lines 220.. in cron/mailpasswds you
will see

msg = Message.UserNotification(
addr, siteowner,

change siteowner to the literal address you want in quotes as

msg = Message.UserNotification(
addr, 'fromu...@example.com',

To override the envelope sender, at lines 235.. you will see

msg.send(sitelist, **{'errorsto': sitebounce,
  '_nolist' : 1,
  'verp':
mm_cfg.VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS,
  })


('verp' line in this email is wrapped - don't change that)  Add a line
to set 'envsender' to the address you want as in

msg.send(sitelist, **{'errorsto': sitebounce,
  'envsender': 'sen...@example.com',
  '_nolist' : 1,
  'verp':
mm_cfg.VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS,
  })

Hi Mark,

After looking at this a bit I have a question. Are the strings 'owner',
'request' and 'bounces' appended to the list name?

list1-owner@domain
list1-request@domain
list1-bounces@domain

Re: [Mailman-Users] From Address for 'mailpasswds'

[Dennis Putnam]

Hi Mark,

I am using U-Verse which means the domain and from address of my Linux
server are fake. I tried setting up translation in Postfix (generic) but
it does not seem to work for this particular address. I'll try your
suggestion. Thanks.

Why is the From: invalid? it is the site list -owner address and the
envelope is from the site list -bounces address. These should be
deliverable addresses. There is a potential issue with virtual domains
in that the domain of these addresses can be the virtual host domain and
the address may not be valid in that domain.

We currently add the site list address in each virtual domain in
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS to the generated virtual-mailman file, but
we don't add the -owner and -bounces addresses. I'll fix that. See
.

As far as changing these addresses is concerned, at lines 197-199 in the
script you'll see

siteowner = Utils.get_site_email(host, 'owner')
sitereq = Utils.get_site_email(host, 'request')
sitebounce = Utils.get_site_email(host, 'bounces')

You could replace host in these lines with the literal host name which
is valid for the site list in quotes like 'example.com'.

It's actually going through just fine, it's the Email client which is 
displaying it wrong.  The From address will be that of the poster.

[Mailman-Users] From address format question

[Jonathan Larsen]

Why is it that in outlook, when I get an email from mail man that it puts;
[EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of ME [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Shouldn't it just be the listname?  Or if this is normal can someone explain
it to me.  I've been left with this duty of figuring out every odd and end
of mailman to tell my managers and they don't like the fact that it does
this.  Not that it matters to any of you but. ya.. hah anyways, any help is
much appreciated.

I managed to get some excellent support from the sendmail-questions list.
The answer was that the lists.dom.ain was set as a CNAME.
Switching this to an 'A' record has enabled the rewriting to work as

[Mailman-Users] From address to virtual domain with Sendmail

[Fran Boon]

I am using mailman-2.1.5 on RedHat Enterprise 3 (Sendmail-8.12)
I wish to configure mailman to use an alias for access: lists.dom.ain
(This is done so that I can move the service to another machine later, 
if I so wish)
I have set DEFAULT_URL_HOST  DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST to lists.dom.ain  the

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Admin mails come From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My guess is that this is more of a sendmail issue than a mailman issue, 
but it would be nice to know whether anyone has got this working.

To attempt to get Sendmail to change this I have added support for a 
genericstable in sendmail.mc:
FEATURE(`genericstable', `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable.db')dnl
GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/generics-domains')dnl

I have re-expanded a new sendmail.cf  this shows the FEATURE ok.
I have set up entries in this file:
list-owner  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
list-bounces[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have used makemap to create the hashed db.
Testing with sendmail -bt shows that the map is working:
 /map generics [EMAIL PROTECTED]
map_lookup: generics ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) returns 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (0)
 /map generics list-owner
map_lookup: generics (list-owner) returns [EMAIL PROTECTED] (0)

However, mailman still sends out mails From: @host.dom.ain
What will mailman pass to the MTA? 'list-owner' or 
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'?

Any hints greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot,
Fran.

I wish to configure mailman to use an alias for access: lists.dom.ain
(This is done so that I can move the service to another machine later, 
if I so wish)
I have set DEFAULT_URL_HOST  DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST to lists.dom.ain  
the Web interface  inbound mails all work fine.
However outgoing mails from the list appear as Sent by: 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Admin mails come From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My guess is that this is more of a sendmail issue than a mailman 
issue, but it would be nice to know whether anyone has got this 
working.

To attempt to get Sendmail to change this I have added support for a 
genericstable in sendmail.mc:
FEATURE(`genericstable', `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable.db')dnl
GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/generics-domains')dnl

I have re-expanded a new sendmail.cf  this shows the FEATURE ok.
I have set up entries in this file:
list-owner  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
list-bounces[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have used makemap to create the hashed db.
Testing with sendmail -bt shows that the map is working:
 /map generics [EMAIL PROTECTED]
map_lookup: generics ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) returns 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (0)
 /map generics list-owner
map_lookup: generics (list-owner) returns [EMAIL PROTECTED] (0)

However, mailman still sends out mails From: @host.dom.ain
What will mailman pass to the MTA? 'list-owner' or 
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'?

Any hints greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot,
Fran.

Re: [Mailman-Users] From Address and non-member posts

[Yogesh Subhash Talekar]

But suppose I really want to make sure that all recepients get the mail.
Then how can I detect that mail delivery has failed for some users?

It will simply keep me in dark and I may never know that someone is not
getting any announcement!

any advice??

 hi

 two questions:

 1. When I post to my mailming list the From address comes like
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Why can't I have the from address as the
 address of the sender?

 Because that's where bounces go, and you want automatic unsubscription
 to work, don't you?

  As Ralf says, let mailman see the bounces and deal with them.
 No, that's wrong. The question was about the From: address. Bounces
 go to the Sender: address. The from address has to be the person who
 composed the message. The sender address is the agent that sent it to
 the recipient.
	There is the header From: field, and then there is the envelope 
sender address.  The latter is sometimes indicated as something like:

From [EMAIL PROTECTED]
	In particular, note the lack of a colon after the word From. 
This is sometimes indicated as the From_ address, where the 
underscore character is understood to stand for a space character in 
this usage.

	It is not exactly clear to me which one is being referred to 
here.  The original quote does not indicate a colon after the word 
From:, but I'm not 100% certain as to whether or not the author was 
aware of this connotation.

	Note that some MTAs will promote the envelope sender address into 
the header From: field (especially if no header From: field 
exists), and some MUAs display an address listed in the Sender: 
field in addition or in place of the From: field (if they are 
different).

	Bounces are sent to the envelope sender address, which may or may 
not be recorded in the Sender: field, or elsewhere in the message. 
It's important to distinguish between the envelope sender address and 
the contents of the From: and Sender: fields, because the 
envelope sender address may be lost or irretrievably altered once the 
message is received.

	You should never attempt to bounce a message to any address in 
any header field -- you should always bounce back to the actual 
envelope sender address.  This obviously causes problems if the 
envelope sender address is lost or irretrievably altered.

No, that's wrong. The question was about the From: address. Bounces 
go to the Sender: address.
Almost but not quite. Bounces go to the SMTP envelope sender NOT, as 
Ian says, the address in the message From: header. MM normally puts the 
same value as the envelope sender into the message Sender: header but 
an MTA generating a bounce should only work off the envelope value and 
never off the message headers. In general you can have a different 
value in the Sender: header to the envelope From, which can ameliorate 
the behaviour of some versions of Outlook which upsets some users 
getting mail from lists; see:

http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq02.003.htp
The from address has to be the person who composed the message. The 
sender address is the agent that sent it to the recipient.

There is an option in the General Options page of the web management 
utility which hides the original sender of the message. Hide the 
sender of a message, replacing it with the list  address (Removes 
From, Sender and Reply-To fields). It fixes a setting called 
anonymous_list.

Enriko,

After going through the Python modules step-by-step I confirmed your
response was absolutely correct.  Nonetheless my problem remained.  The
source of the problem?  It turns out our sys admin folks look for stuff like
this, and automatically remove the host name portion.  They then run an
alias file that redirects traffic to the correct host on the inbound side.
This setup of course hides host names from the outside world and in the
process allows us to move services from one host to the other without
impacting clients using those services.

The lesson learned: Don't automatically blame the new software -- it may be
a system config issue.  Thanks again for your reply.

[Mailman-Users] From Address in mailman

[David Jacobson]

Hi all,

I got a quick question, when mailing to a list it then says in the From header
From listname-whatever@hostname on behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now I need it to basically just say From the USER that emailed the list and not from 
listname on behalf of user.  eg if I mail the list it must say from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and 
nothing else.  Please if somebody could tell me how to do this it'd be greatly 
appreciated, please reply to me off the list.

Regards,
Dave.
