[Mailman-Users] customized From handling?
I'm a member of the "Linux for blind general discussion" list (blinux-l...@redhat.com), which uses Mailman. Some time ago, the list was having problems with folks spamming members, using addresses harvested from the "From" lines of messages. So, the list admins opted to change the "From" line to simply say: > Linux for blind general discussion Although this solved the immediate problem, it also resulted in some confusion, because all postings are now anonymous by default. Is there a configuration option that would (say) result in a From line that only reveals the poster's name, but not their email address? -r -- Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/

Thanks for the prompt and informative response! It sounds like the "Munge From" setting would meet their desire for spam avoidance, except that "the original From will be placed in either CC or Reply-To depending on other settings". However, I can't find this setting; can you provide a link? Meanwhile, it appears that the "remove_headers" option could be used to remove the CC and Reply-To headers. Is this correct and are there any other headers we'd need to remove? https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/config/docs/config.html#remove-headers -r -- Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/

As a complete newbie to Mailman, I didn't even notice that there was a major revision involved :-). Looking at the headers of a recent blinux-list message, I see: > X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Meanwhile, looking at https://launchpad.net/mailman/+milestone/2.1.15, I see: > This is the final release of Mailman 2.1.15. ... So, it sounds like any feature requests should be directed to Mailman 3: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues Mailman Core seems to be the best bet for this issue; I'll post there and see how the maintainers respond... -r -- Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/

Seems like that web site is a bit out of date. In any event, the blinux-list admins would probably be more inclined to update within version 2.1.x (and tweak the config a bit) than to move to version 3. Where can I find the right place to post a feature request for Mailman 2.1.x? -r -- Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/
