Mailman Admin Notes

Create a new list

First, generate the list on scale-lists server:

$ sudo /usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist <list> <admin-user-email>
Initial <list> password:

You will need to add the list to Chef.

Put the password in Bitwarden (coming soon).

Then log into the admin interface for it: https://lists.linuxfests.org/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/<list>

The following settings are recommended:

Under "General"

• from_is_list - no
• first_strip_reply_to - yes
• reply_goes_to_list - yes

Under "Privacy options" -> "Sender Filters"

• dmarc_moderation_action (NOT to be confused with from_is_list) - Munge From
  • This will prevent problems with subscribers whose domain have a strict DMARC policy
• dmarc_quarantine_moderation_action - yes
• dmarc_none_moderation_action - no
