mailpasswds

Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way to change the Sender: and Errors-To:
addresses used by the password reminder module "mailpasswds" to
mailman-owner rather than some list -admin address. Have I done
something wrong here? Here is part sample of the email headers I have
received when I ran the module "mailpasswds".

    Subject: dev.anu.edu.au mailing list memberships reminder
    From: mailman-owner <at> dev.anu.edu.au
    Sender: usg.staff-admin <at> dev.anu.edu.au
    Errors-To: usg.staff-admin <at> dev.anu.edu.au
    X-BeenThere: usg.staff <at> dev.anu.edu.au
    X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.9

Thanks,
Shu

monthly reminder passwords

I changed my mailman password when I joined my list, but today I received
a reminder with the pw included.  That my pw was not the one I was
expecting.  I found that I could change my options using either the pw in
the reminder email, or the one I changed it to.  Seems like a bug?

running mailman 2.0.11

I believe the parser quits after it finds the first command.

Go to the list admin interface.  Either type in the email addresses
or copy and paste the addresses into the space.

2.1b2 and digest Reply-To not being set

I've had an interesting problem crop up recently with my 2.1b2
install.

My digest subscribers on one of my lists are complaining that 
the Reply-To: header is *not* being set by Mailman.  Since the
From: header is being set to the list request address...

I've verified this is a problem by subscribing a new account and
seeing what headers are there.

Am I missing something obvious here?

New error message

What does this mean, and what do I need to fix?  It started doing this 
after I reconfigured eth1 for multiple IP addresses (may or may not be 
related).

That last is the key part; it's from your nntp server.  It's telling you that you're not
allowed to talk to it.  Chances are your server is configured to accept certain hostnames
and/or ip addresses, and now that you've added some vifs, your connection is going out as
one of those other ip addresses.  Get the server administrator to add the other ips, or
switch to username/password authentication with them.

I'm also trying to get "true" virtual support with Mailman & qmail and also
realize that if I create test1 <at> lists.net and test2 <at> lists.net, and want them
to appear as test <at> domain1.com and test <at> domain2.com, still I in the list info
page they appear as test1 & test2 list ie. it's not possible to hide them.

Or I am missing something?

(each domain has its own listm but cannot hide real names.) 

So, it is proper to conclude that there is no real true virtual domain support
in Mailman?

(it can save me some time in experimenting further 

Sincerely,
Gour

Are you the listadmin and a member in to the same list? If yes, you
have two passwords. One for the listadmin and another for your
membership.

With the memberpassword you can only change your subscibtion. With the
listadminpassword you can change the list and all members properties.

It's very simple.

Member password only good for own member properties.
Listadmin password good for all members in the list and only for the
own list.
Mmsite password good for all member in all lists and all lists.
