OK. Now I understand the confusion. We use 'host' in a number of places
where we really mean 'domain' and it can be particularly confusing for
email addresses where the 'domain' may just have an MX record and not be
a 'machine' at all.

However, this terminology is deeply embedded and affects translations if
it were to be changed, so I don't propose to actually change it at this
point.

Sorry, I guess I should not have put it in quotes. That title is not at
all clear to me that it means the domain name (not host name) for
replying email. I had that set to my email domain (bellsouth.net).
Changing it to the reply email domain (gmail.com) worked. I tried the
host name 'pop.gmail.com' and that did not.

Where are you seeing "Preferred Hostname"?

Mailman's General Options page says

Host name this list prefers for email.
(Details for host_name)

which seems clear enough. I can't find the regexp 'preferred.?host' case
insensitively anywhere in the GNU Mailman distribution.

Got it. I guess the "Preferred Hostname" in the settings is somewhat of
a misnomer. It is really the preferred email hostname.

It is the list posting address, i.e. listname@host_name, the same as the
address in "To post a message to all the list members, send email to
..." on the list's listinfo page.

If the local part in the List-Post: header is not the list name,
something is seriously wrong, but I don't know what. If the domain is
not what you think it should be, the list's host_name (on the General
Options page) is wrong. You can change it there, although that may
indicate issues with add_virtualhost and DEFAULT_*_HOST in mm_cfg.py.

As I said before, if you sometimes don't see it, it might be because you
are looking at a reply sent to you directly (To: or Cc:) and not from
the list.

Google is back up. I guess I was wrong in my original assessment. The
headers are indeed there including List-Post. The reply to list button
is displayed (I don't know why I sometimes don't get that but I will

I use imap.googlemail.com for my gmail imap server, but that won't make
any difference. I've just tested, and it appears that gmail/googlemail
is now forcing SSL. I.e., neither imap.gmail.com nor imap.googlemail.com
is answering port 143 connects, but both work with SSL on port 993.

The next time you receive a post from the list in question, view the
source (More -> View Source in Thunderbird). If you don't see the List-*
headers, copy ALL of the headers and post them here. You can munge any
personal info if you like.

I am currently unable to test it to see as imap.gmail.com seems to be
down and has been for a while. The messages go from mailman on my
Postfix server to JetMail, to the subscriber's ISP (AT&T in my case).

Are there other Mailman headers such as X-BeenThere: and
X-Mailman-Version: in the messages?

Do you have any local modifications to Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py?

How do messages get from Mailman to you?

Thanks for the reply. Those options are and apparently always have been

somewhere along the way is stripping them out for some reason.

Thunderbird and many other MUAs rely on the RFC 2369 List-Post: header
for "reply to list". There are six RFC 2369 List-* headers; List-Id:,
List-Unsubscribe:, List-Archive:, List-Post:, List-Help: and
List-Subscribe:. Mailman's adding of these headers is controlled by the
lists General Options include_rfc2369_headers and
include_list_post_header settings.

If include_rfc2369_headers is No, none of these headers will be added.
If include_rfc2369_headers is Yes, List-Post: will be added only if
include_list_post_header is Yes, List-Archive will be added only if the
list is archiving and the other four will be added.

So to ensure posts received from the list have a List-Post header, both
include_rfc2369_headers and include_list_post_header must be Yes.

Also note that if your "Avoid duplicate copies of messages?" setting on
a list is Yes and you are directly addressed in a reply, the copy you
receive doesn't come from the list and won't have any Mailman headers.

[Mailman-Users] Reply-To-List Header

2016-01-09 Thread Dennis Putnam
On some mailman lists I receive messages in which Thunderbird displays a
"Reply to List" button. However, on my own lists that does not happen.
What header is TB relying on to get that and what setting do I need to
change my mailman for that to happen? TIA.
