Mailman: Envelope-From set wrong for messages to list-owner

[mejo]

Hello,

apparently Envelope-From, Sender and Errors-To headers are set to a wrong address for messages from mailman to the list-owner. This is particularly true for mails like 'message requires approval'.

It seems like the plesk<->mailman magic results in all list-domains being written to the end of /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py in the following format:
add_virtualhost('list.DOMAIN')

This in return results in mail headers Envelope-From, Sender and Errors-To of mailman system mails like described above being set to mailman-bounces@DOMAIN, where DOMAIN is the one from the last add_virtualhost entry.

In my opinion, this obviously is a bug. Maintainance mails from mailinglists have wrong headers set, often with a domain that belongs to a completely different customer than the mailinglist.

I found the following discussion on mailman-users mailinglist from 2008 which discusses the same issue - also a plesk setup: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2008-July/062413.html

Cheers,
jonas

Parallels acknowledged the problem as a bug in plesk in the meantime. Bug id #PPM-2449 has been assigned to it. Let's hope that they fix it in the next update of plesk 12.

To be more precise bug ID is #PPPM-2449

Hi,

Has #PPPM-2449 been fixed? We're running a server with Plesk v12.0.18 and a customer reported the same issue on June 9th.

Thanks,

It is fixed in Plesk 12.1.24
