NETSCAPE ISSUES |
|
7 |
||
8 |
Some of your users may experience problems sending mail to a |
|
9 |
members-only list, if they are using Netscape Communicator as |
|
10 |
their MUA. Communicator 4.x on Linux has been observed to insert |
|
11 |
bogus unqualified Sender: headers -- i.e. Sender: headers with |
|
12 |
only the username part of the email address. Other version of |
|
13 |
Netscape may also have the same bug. |
|
14 |
||
15 |
By default, members-only lists use the From: header as the first |
|
16 |
field to authenticate against, falling back to Sender:. The site |
|
17 |
administrator can also configure Mailman to always use Sender: |
|
18 |
first. If Sender: is used, and it exists in the email message, |
|
19 |
but it is unqualified, it will never match a mailing list member's |
|
20 |
address, and their post will always be held for approval.
|
|
21 |
||
22 |
In the future, Mailman will improve its algorithm for finding a
|
|
23 |
matching address, but in the meantime, M. A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>
|
|
24 |
provides the following advice. You can send this snippet to any user
|
|
25 |
whose posts are being held for seemingly no reason.
|
|
26 |
||
27 |
Edit the two .js files in your .netscape directory (liprefs.js and
|
|
28 |
preferences.js) to include the function call:
|
|
29 |
||
30 |
user_pref("mail.suppress_sender_header", true);
|
|
31 |
||
32 |
BTW, the binary includes a comment which says that this is only
|
|
33 |
necessary on Unix.
|
|
34 |
||
35 |
Since Communicator regenerates this file upon exit, the change
|
|
36 |
must be done when Communicator is not currently running. With the
|
|
37 |
next start, it will stop adding the Sender: header and things
|
|
38 |
start to work like a charm again.
|
|
39 |
||
40 |
The reason things start to work again, is that Mailman falls back to
|
|
41 |
authenticating the From: header if the Sender: header is missing,
|
|
42 |
even if the site administrator has configured things to look at
|
|
43 |
Sender: first.

MOZILLA

There are no known problems with Mozilla 0.9.x at this time. I
|
|
49 |
don't know whether the above Netscape problem also affects |
|
50 |
Mozilla. |
