What you are looking for is an anonymous remailer. The only way I can think of to make this work in majordomo is to have a moderated list, which means all messages are processed by hand and approved with a munged header that only the moderator can send back into the list.

Wouldn't life be MUCH easier if you just uploaded the file to an ftp site and posted the URL to the site/file in an email?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-Id: <200312042303.55912.simon.hampton@freebel.net> X-Archive-Number: 200312/17 X-Sequence-Number: 4199 Hi, (I'm a newbee) I am having some problems configuring majordomo with qmail. I'm trying to set up just on list but only want to have one public email address. I'm using procmail to sort incoming emails (see http://users.pandora.be/sim/linux/mailinglist.htm ) for my notes I'm on what I'm doing. My problem is that I need to set resend_host to two different values at the same time! Currently $whereami is set to my own computer on the domain I call my home network, but unknown to the Internet. This makes sense as all the majordomo mails need to be delivered locally to me and not sent to my ISP. However, if a user subscribes to my group, when the welcome message is sent out it goes out with Return-path: LIST@private.domain and that is being rejected by the SMTP server of my ISP. I've tried playing around with resend_host but that has not helped. I suspect the welcome message is not sent by resend at all. If I set $whereami to my ISP's domain then the welcome message goes out but the confirmation of subscription is sent to LIST-owner@ISP and that's not a known address. Is there some way around this?

As far as the interface goes. I have heard of people successfully managing majordomo with webmin, but have never personally done anything majordomo related through any interface other than the unix shell prompt.

Since unix files ARE case sensitive, CAPS != caps != CaPs. In order to allow for mis-capitolized email addresses, the address and the files are all handled as lower case.

I have rented two webhotels that run Majordomo (v. 1.95 and 1.94 respectively), and I have set up one mailinglist. It's pretty easy to manage the basics, and the list is running. I have found the Majordomo homepage, I have skimmed the README file and the FAQ. I looked at the archives and checked out some of the threads that sounded relevant judged by their subject. I did not find what I was looking for though. I do not run Majordomo myself, and it seems that all the questions and answers are concerned with people managing their own server. I would like to know if I am able to send a message to Majordomo@ with proper comands and password and thereby change the way the maillist works. I have received a copy of a config file, and by a few experiments I managed to work out how to get one more - and that's about it. If I could get the recipe on how to change maxlength (with which I can make pretty harmless experiments), then I think I can work out the rest by myself. If someone knows how I can make Majordomo automatically put the list address in the To:-field when one responds to a message, I wouldn't mind. I know how to use Reply To All - but that sends an e-mail copy to the writer as well, and that is A Bad Thing.

Many of them disable features, or change the way they are configured. Others use versions such as the built-in one on Cobalt servers that have functionality disabled. Majordomo is documented for server owners because they are the only ones you can guarantee have actually seen Majordomo. The only people who know how Majordomo works on the servers you're renting is your "hoteliers." If they can't tell you, it's time to find another one.

The werb uses mj_wwwusr, mj_wwwadm, and mj_wwwconfirm. What do their log files say? You may need to edit either the aliases or the program themselves to step up the debug level.

Do any of you know of a place that can outline how to install majordomo on a cPanel box? I REALLY despise the list software that they use and would very much like to install and run majordomo even if it all has to be done manually.

Many are part of the nhs.uk domain with strict security policies so many bounces etc. Today I noticed this to the list owner mailbox... which contained the greatly snipped details below. Whilst I sort of understand the gist of the info I can't tell if the problem is local or nhs.uk refusing such a large influx of messages from a single domain (as an anti-spam measure) Any info as to the problem, and more importantly the solution! Many thanks Tim (Since posting this to the cobalt-users list, I have tried adding maxaddrs=20 to the config file for the list without effect, and looked at sendmail without benefit so far...)

Has anyone had trouble with the pre-installed majordomo version on this type of Sun Cobalt server rack If so, what did you do to solve the problems?

The maxaddrs=20 is not a setting in a majordomo 1.94.x list config file that I am aware of. This is a possible setting in some MTA config files though. This problem needs to be addressed at your MTA, not majordomo. However, you can attack this problem via the "-outgoing" alias for your list by using tlb or bulk_mailer.

Write the administrator at the other end, and if he doesn't budge, advise the user that his site is deliberately configured not to accept lists and he needs to get an email account elsewhere.

From: Andrew Beverley To: majordomo-users@greatcircle.com Content-Type: text/plain Organization: Simplelists.com Message-Id: <1071687335.5735.96.camel@andylap.andybev.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.4.4-5mdk Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 18:55:35 +0000 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archive-Number: 200312/44 X-Sequence-Number: 4226 I've recently encountered a problem where a misconfigured email server of a list member was directing list emails back to the list, causing a mail loop. The emails were keeping the original headers, so my thought to prevent this is to add a custom header to the list, and check for the custom header - for example in taboo-headers. My question is, does anyone know of any patches to majordomo to do this automatically, without having to edit each config file, and also without each looped message being bounced for approval. Note: because with every pass through the majordomo server another set of headers was added, the recursive email was eventually stopped somewhere along the line because of the excessive number of Received headers.
