Re: [Mailman-Users] can I use a mailman list address as a (qmail)sender address?

But if I can not use this email address for *sending* because I can not create this user on my server then this profile is useless and I have to create a different sending address which is not selected by the MUA automatically (instead the default mail profile is selected). In the meantime I found out that despite the error message from PLESK the mail user with the same name as the mailing address was created anyway! It seems I get it to work...

That's interesting, will try that as well because it's much more reliable than fiddling around PLESK errors which might always lead to trouble in future updates! Thanks!

If mails are addressed to the list and come in on my PC and I hit reply then the MUA looks if it has a mail profile with the very same email address. I think there are a couple of issues that are leaving many of us confused. Why do you want to reply to email addressed to the list as the list rather than as you. That is not the way lists are normally used (e.g. I am replying to mail sent to this list as myself, not as the list). But if I can not use this email address for *sending* because I can not create this user on my server then this profile is useless and I have to create a different sending address which is not selected by the MUA automatically (instead the default mail profile is selected). Why does the list email address have to exist as a local user for you to send as it? Is your mail server doing a check to prevent mail being sent as from a non-existant user? While such checks (misguided in many cases, IMHO) can be set in many mail servers, it's not the default from my experience. If you have such checks, are they really needed? I don't recall if you described your environment but if it's one where you know all the users (as opposed to a public ISP), you probably don't need such checks. -- Larry Stone lston...@stonejongleux.com -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
[Mailman-Users] Coworking member mailing list - help!
Hello fine Mailman Users! I am one of the owners operators of Office Nomadshttp://officenomads.com/, a coworking http://coworking.com space in Seattle, WA. We have been using Mailman to manage our internal member mailing list for several years, to enable our members to contact one another about job postings, events going on, and requests for help. It's a fantastic system that is easy to use, but we're running up against a challenge: we've hit the 100 member mark and therefore don't have room for everyone on the mailing list. We are currently hosted at Bluehost, which I recognize is the piece that is responsible for the 100-member limit. Do any of you have recommendations on which hosting provider might not implement 100-member limits? The key here is that we're not looking for an email blast list like Mailchimp. We are looking for a system to use that enables any member to send a message to all of our members in the space. It's one little growing pain for us, but I'd love to hear any recommendations you all might have for how to solve the problem. I checked through the archive of questions adn the FAQ but didn't see any recommendations for alternate places to host our mailing list so we can keep using Mailman. Thanks for any help you can provide!

[Mailman-Users] iPhone App for moderating mails
Hello, I don't know if this is appropriate, but I want to share it if someone finds it useful: I have written an app for moderating mails from your mailman lists. You can add multiple lists and get an overview of all the pending moderation requests. The app shows details about every mail like size, preview of the mail and moderation reason and you can approve/reject/discard the mail(s). iMailModerate is available on the AppStore for 0,99$. http://cl.ly/DyCl Best regards, Manuel Weiel -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

The list is the public face of a committee, and at least some outgoing mail should appear to be from the committee. I must have missed where he mentioned that. I started to wonder about about setting it as an anonymous list but that would affect all posts - both from user to the committee as well as responses from the committee. But maybe something could be done with two lists - one for the users to send to that is normal and a second that the committee replies via that is anonymous and has the main list as its only member (I think this is an umbrella list but having never used umbrella lists, I'm unsure). -- Larry Stone lston...@stonejongleux.com -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

All of the other lists on the server are. I assume it's a db issue but could be wrong. Any suggestion on where to look at what the problem could be? Are the list's General Options settings send_reminders and send_welcome_message set to Yes? If so, you could visit the various member options pages via the email address links on the Membership Management... - Membership List pages and verify that their Get password reminder email for this list? settings are not all No. If they are all No, do bin/config_list -o - LISTNAME | grep new_member_options convert the decimal integer you see to binary and see if it contains the 0010 (2^5 = 32) bit which is the option to supress password reminder. If it does, also check mm_cfg.py for a DEFAULT_NEW_MEMBER_OPTIONS setting containing this bit. If all of the above indicates reminders and welcome messages should be sent, try running 'cron/mailpasswds -l LISTNAME' and subscribing a new member and check Mailman's 'smtp' log and the MTA logs to see if the messages are being sent and what's happening to them. Thanks Mark for the reply. It turned out having the Send password reminders to, eg, -owner address instead of directly to user. set to yes on the General Options page caused the welcome message and password reminder message from being sent out.
