Setting up a mail list

I want to set up a mailing list for my website but I dont want everyone seeing the list of email addresses. Is there a way I can hide the cc list?

Use the BCC line. (You may need to show it, using the appropriate item in the View menu.)

Mailing list set-up in OS X Server.

Dear members:
I have been looking at different options for setting up a few mailing list groups. One of the best options I have found in terms of functionality and features is Listserv software but it is very expensive and is only available in a Unix version (no OS X available) which would require me to install it using terminal.
Two other options are DirectMail and OS X Server. According to the info page on Apple's web site setting up a mailing list in OS X Snow Leopard Server is a fairly simple thing to do. At least that is what they say.
According to your experiences how simple is it to set up a few mailing lists in OS X ? Please consider that I am an advanced user but without any advanced training in networking or programming.
Thank you in advance,
JRC

i have now resolved all my issues with the mail list functions on SL... and i am pretty confused as to why it is done like it is now. done... BUT... there are now TWO ways of creating lists in SL 10.6
1, the mailman way, which is a proper mail list server and can be relied on and has sensible mail handling and bounce control and aparantly no longer linked to workgroup manager or OD
2, the apple-wiki tool which uses a postfix alias populated with a group membership on creation.
SO... if you need a group that is linked to a OD group and you do not mind the complete lack of management and the fact that the mailing list will be called [email protected] then use mailing lists linked to wiki...
OR
Use mailman... 10.6 has now removed the link between groups and mailman lists.. and you will soon loose the workgroup manager control (that no longer works) for integration with mailman lists... if you use mailman you have an industrial strength mailing list tool that you can sync with various other DB sources (inc LDAP) and has sensible bounce and mail handling...
it took me a while yesterday to finally realise what has really changed and what i need to do to work as normal.
My plan is to create a group in workgroup manager called "Mailing Lists" and then with a perl script interrogate OD for groups that are in my "Master mailing list group" and then sync the OD group user list emails with the list of the same name (as any group in the OD group "mailing lists") in MailMan.... which will give me OD managed group mailing lists again and also give me [email protected] for my list name...
i object to have to call a mailing list with a "-wiki" extension to the name, and i would like to automatically have people added to mailing lists when they are put in groups...
i am still working on all of this and i hope my findings are of some help.

Mailing list in Flash using Godaddy

Hey Flash Experts –
Ive got a new question that I am having trouble finding the
solution to.
I had a email.php mailing form all set up but it wont work
with my hosting server because I am using godaddy and they require
you to use asp and their particular gdform.asp for form sending. I
check out the form and am not sure how to translate my php into asp
– any ideas? I could not figure it out and have spent a while
on google trying to see if anyone else has. Basically all I want to
do is set up a mailing list form where the user can simply enter in
their email address and the email address will show up in my email
account. I am not too familiar with mailing lists which is what
brings me to this forum. I was wondering if anyone had any
suggestions on how to make this work in the best possible way.
Should I use the gdform.asp ? a third party ? or is it possible to
set up a form someone directly in flash? My site is all flash so
this would be embedded in one of the swf pages. Any ideas,
suggestions, comments would be awesome – thanks a lot for
your time and help!!
Best,
Matt

Just make sure you have all the files you need on your local
machine before switching platforms because everything on the server
will be erased when you switch. Usually with GoDaddy, in order to
get email php scripts to work, you will have to go into your
GoDaddy account settings and make sure there is an email address in
the "php form" section. I think that's what the section is
called.

Cannot send to mailing list - get msg "invalid email address"

I have set up a mailing list for the first time.
It all seems pretty straightforward and to test it I have used my email address as the only one on the list.
however when I try to send to the list I get the message above.
any help very welcome
thanks

have you got a space either before or after the text of the address. clicking and highlighting the address in the address book should show that space up if it exists.

Changing the Reply-To header from a Mailing List

Hi All,
I'm running JES 2004Q4, and I'm trying to set up a mailing list. The two ways I have done it so far, was to create a user and forward the mail from that user to the mailing list users using the forwarding options in the web mail gui, and the other way was to create a group and foward the mail to users that exist in the LDAP directory.
My question is, as you can guess from the topic subject.... Can I get the Reply-To address added to the mail envelope when mail is forwared from either the user or group??
This is so when people reply to a mail sent via the list, they will reply to the list and not the person who sent it.
I'm hoping I won't have to use program delivery and write a script to do it. :-)
Cheers and thanks,
Stuart.

One thing you need to understand is the difference between a "group" and a "list". Mails sent to a "list" automatically get the list name as "reply-to". Groups don't.
The difference is an ldap attribute. Please see the "provisioning guide", specifically the chapter on provisioning mailing lists:
http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6018-10/groups.htm#1000867
(I know this is the 5.2 provisioning guide, but this piece hasn't changed at all)

Wiki Mailing list

Hello
I have several wiki's set up with mailing lists ([email protected])
We have recently removed some users from some work groups but I find that the email addresses still seem to be on the wiki mail lists as the staff are still receiving the mail or where the email address was removed along with the users account I get a "Undelivered email does not exist"
How can I edit / clean out these old non existent emails from the wiki email list ?
Many Thanx

I have a similar problem, I cannot add new user, well I add the user but it does not receive the email

Suggestion for mailing list software.

Dear members:
I have been looking for a good application for mailing lists. I wish to create a few internet discussion groups and would like to have them set-up as mailing lists with posts distributed to all members in the form of e-mails.
So far the only I've found that seems up-to-date and reasonably powerful is Listserv from L-Soft (www.lsoft.com). This one, however, is rather expensive (really expensive), requires installation to be done using the terminal with Unix commands (which I don't master) and does not offer a Mac GUI (the program is controlled and maintained using a browser).
I am interested in an application that uses the familiar mac interface (GUI) and can be both installed and run using as a typical mac application. Also I would like to find something that is reasonably priced.
Would anyone be able to offer suggestions on what may be a good application for this purpose ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Joseph Chamberlain

Hi, Tom.
Please forgive me for the delayed response to your post and thank you for giving me some suggestions.
I looked at the page you referenced on your post and found that the only three list server applications listed don't really offer the features I am looking for.
Letterrip hasn't been developed since early 2006 which means it is quite likely that it would not run properly under the latest version of OS X.
Macjordomo is in the same category of outdated software. The latest version available runs on OS X but the entire interface has that OS 9 classic design as something that hasn't been really updated in a long time. As I tried to run it all it did was to keep crashing. The GUI is also deficient and not you typical Mac application user interface.
Last but not least Mailman seems to be one of the strongest one of the group and I had heard of it before. The only problem I have found is its lack of a Mac front end user interface that follows the typical Mac guidelines. I don't have any type of experience with Unix and would not be able to install any applications that require interaction with the Terminal.
As popular as the Mac is today I find it difficult to believe that there isn't at least one good list server application in the market today. I probably haven't found it yet but I am hoping that one exists so that I can find it.
Please let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions.
Thanks again for your help,
Joseph

I want to have Mail list Received e-mails chronologically without attaching new e-mails received to older e-mails from the same recipient. Is their a Preferences setting or a toggle to set this?

View menu.
Uncheck "Organize by Conversation."

BTW: Mail is part of the bundled "System software" and is discussed in the community for your version of OS X:
Mac OS X v10.7 Lion
The link will take you there.
Edit: I see someone has requested a transfer, and this conversation is now in the correct space.

Set up a group list in e.mail ???

How can I set up a "group list" (in my e.mail) in my 4s like I have on my big Mac? When I want to send a message to a large group of friends?

What is the "server side"? and MOST important, where can i find the info on how to do that.. thanks

How do I set up a distribution list with multiple email addresses?

I can't figure out how to do this - I am a .mac member and really have no idea how to use the desktop mail function but I am assuming that I need to set up the distribution list in mail since I can't find anywhere to do it on .mac.
I am really sorry for this lame question - is it a problem with my ISP (sbc) or is it my operating system - 10.3.9?

Welcome to the discussions, CassC.
You may need to re-post in the pre-Tiger mail forum.
But what I THINK you need to do is use your Address Book, and make a group. Add to the group (by selecting, dragging and dropping) the contacts you need in the distribution list. Now in Mail use the name of the group in the To: or Cc: or Bcc: field to send them all mail.

How to set-up voice mail to email on Unity Connection 8.6

Hi all,
I need to set-up voice mail to email notification on a Unity Connection 8.6 MCS78XX server. I've read several existing threads related to the subject, but have had somewhat of a difficult time finding a posting that provided a simplified approach with either or both of the options listed below. I'm hoping and asking to receive a response (or responses) that will break it down.
The intent is to either:
A) Have new voice mail messages sent to end-user's e-mail inboxes as .wav files.
B) Have notifications be e-mailed to end-user's inboxes whenever there is a new voice mail.
Cisco Unity Single Inbox is not the preferred method at this point.
I thank you all for your input and assistance!

Manish, if I may... I read the 2nd thread and it mentions the addition of the Exchange IP address under the smart host field... and it appears that the Exchange will also need the IP address of the Unity Connection server for relay...
question: under the Unity SMTP config options --> Server --> SMTP Domain --> can/should this be changed over to the Unity's IP address in an environment where the Unity Server's name is not resolvable? The Unity Server in this case is not configured with DNS... please advise
Thank you again!

I dont receive e-mails with attachment sent to OS X Server 3.0.1 Group-mailing lists

I have a small company using a mac mini with mavericks and server 3.0.1.
We are using most of the services available in OS X server (except DHCP, Netinstall and Xsan). One of the services we use the most is Mail server, and the whole company uses that as our primary mail server.
We have set up several different Groups and activated group-mailing lists on some of them. The setup has been working very good for over a year (started using it with Mountain Lion Server).
Recently I was going to send a christmas card to all employees using the workgroup mailing list. I was using the stationaries in Mail, and it was sent as normal but never recieved by me or any of the other employees. Below is the SMTP Log
Dec 6 17:10:16 server.mydomain.com postfix/smtpd[29101]: connect from unknown[10.0.1.16 *<- my local IP address*]
Dec 6 17:10:16 server.mydomain.com postfix/smtpd[29101]: 480451503B0A: client=unknown[10.0.1.16 *<- my local IP address*], sasl_method=CRAM-MD5, sasl_username=myusername

Dec 6 17:11:16 server.mydomain.com postfix/smtpd[29101]: disconnect from unknown[10.0.1.16 *<- my local IP address*]
I did some trial and error and it seems like it is linked to the fact that I have attachments to the email. Sending an email with only text is recieved like normal. Even attacment like PDF or jpg is "blocked" it seems. I have tried using email outside my domain but still the same result. Sending the same email (with attachment) to all reciepients (not using the mailiing list) works and is recieved by everyone. I have turned off all email filtering settings on the server but still the same result.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? My guess is that this is a Server 3.0.1 hickup, so it would be nice to get confirmation from others experiencing the same.

I have a POP account set up in Mail, has been that way for years. Today it isn't working.

I have a POP email account that's been set up in Mail for years. Today it won't send or retrieve email, continually asks for my password but doesn't keep it. My iCloud email is fine. According to an Apple Support document, "Mail: Troubleshooting sending & receiving email" (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276), it appears as if it's a problem with my email provider. I've spoken to the email provider and they say it's not a problem on their end. I can log into my email account using the provider's webmail and all is fine there. And, since I'm still receiving my email on my iPad & iPhone, I'm not entirely convinced it is a problem with the email provider.
When I go into Mail Preferences, my password shows blank (even when I re-enter it) and it shows my Outgoing Mail Server as Offline. When I choose Edit SMTP server list and click on the Advanced tab, my password is missing here as well. Re-entering it doesn't help.
I've tried Take All Accounts Offline then Take All Accounts Online and that doesn't work. I would delete the account and set it up again, but I get a warning message that if I delete the account, I lose everything in the account; folders, email, filters, etc. I can't afford to lose the existing emails.
I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and Mail 6.2; I believe they are both the most recent versions.

I checked the settings with Network Solutions and they are correct. As to archiving, is it possible to turn everything into one big archive or does each folder and subfolder need to be archived individually? I've looked at the documentation and I get the impression that everything is archived separately. Also I couldn't find a mention as to whether it's possible to archive or some how save all of my filters.
I use Time Machine as my general backup. I back up all the Mail files every couple weeks (on a flash drive) but now I've learned, the hard way, that's not often enough.
Thank you.

Why can't I get secure mailing lists to work in IMS 5.1

I am having problems getting secure mailing lists to work at all. I
have been battling with iPlanet support and have gotten no where. Evan
though a local user or a remote email user is listed as allowed senders
in the IDA, it still will not let either send a message to the list. I
checked to make sure that the allowed senders showed up in the LDAP
entry as mgrpallowedbroadcasters and they are. I evan set up a test
server from scratch and ran into the same issue. Each time an allowed
user tries to send they get the following error:
SMTP Error: 5.7.1 you are not allowed to use this list:
[email protected]
Anyone else seeing these issues?? Does anyone what could be going
wrong??

I'm not sure what is happening, but here are some tips to help debug the problem.
Put MM_DEBUG=5 in your option.dat file and recompile/restart dispatcher. Put master_debug slave_debug in the defaults section or only appropiate channels and then recompile/restart dispatcher.
The resulting logs should give you information about just why it is failing.

How to enable mail list archives in the wiki?

I have had a group wiki for some time, but the group maillist service was not enabled until recently. When I enabled "server group mail lists" in Server Admin and selected the "Mailing list" option in WGM for this group, I hoped that the "Mail" tab would appear in the wiki after sending a few messages to the group. Not so.
Using the 'serveradmin' command, it looks like the listArchive option is disabled:
$ sudo serveradmin settings web | grep -i listarchive
web:Sites:array_id:123.456.789.12:443wiki.mydomain.ca:mailingListArchive = no
When I try to change it, serveradmin echos "emptyarray":
$ sudo serveradmin settings web:Sites:array_id:123.456.789.12:443wiki.mydomain.ca:mailingListArchive = yes
web:Sites = emptyarray
...and the mailingListArchive attribute is still set to "no". Am I doing something wrong? How can I enable group list archives?
Thanks!

Found it: Server Admin -> Web -> Sites -> Web Services -> Mailing list web archive. Then go back to WGM -> Groups -> Basic, and the option for mailling list web archive is no longer greyed out.
Checking the wiki after a webserver restart, I get the "mail" tab now. There are no emails in the web archive, but thats a different issue .
