This may be difficult for some to read, and I can forward you a pdf version. In addition to the website ( <http://www.troop152.org/> www.troop152.org) I support the email distribution process. I am having a lot of setup tribulations and need some direction.
I am attempting to setup Mailman for 22 different distribution lists, with unique individuals contained with them. We need to be able to: (1) from a persons private email account, send an email to a distribution list on the Server where our website is housed. (2) when received, verify if the individual is authorized to submit email, and if not, notify the list owner of the attempt without forwarding it. (3) if the person is authorized, distribute/forward the email to the members of the distribution list. This has been done and works great, however we are encountering the following: 1. when a person submits an email for distribution and received by the recipients, the From: field displays: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; on behalf of; Thomas J Casey [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. We would like to remove the [EMAIL PROTECTED]; on behalf of; and the [EMAIL PROTECTED] at the end. Can this be setup and if possible how can I set it up. 2. when a person replies to the email, it attempts to reply to the originator only (example: Thomas J Casey [EMAIL PROTECTED] and not to the distribution list of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can this be setup and if possible how can I set it up. 3. I need to able to define who is authorized to submit email for redistribution. I was told by Support that the individuals email must be added to the General Section of Mailman in the List Moderator section. This causing havoc with the 87 individuals who are currently contained within the List Moderator section. They receive ever notice when an individual is added, removed, moderator request(s) waiting, failure notices and the like. Can Mailman be setup that only those individuals defied in the General Section of Mailman in the List Administrator section be notified and if possible how can I set it up. 4. when a person attempts to send an email to a mailing list, there email is held until I attend to it. Once authorized in #3, can the process of submission and distribution be automatic? I have been in contact with Support at Host Monster multiple times, and they have been no help whatsoever. I've weeded through the instruction on Mailman at: http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html but am more confused then ever. As you can imagine, I'm getting a lot of heat to rectify these problems PDQ. This is a Boy Scout Troop and I volunteer my services but these problems are causing us more problems then Mailman is worth to us. If you have any suggestions, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks ahead of time. tj casey Jacsdad aka Thomas J Casey Upon his retirement, a former NASCAR Winston Cup Champion was quoted: "the Older I get... the Better I was" ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
