Line 87: − Copy the entire folder mm_cfg.py from + − + − + − + − creating the needed folders if they arent there (most probably)+ − Then edit:+ − adding this text to the last line:+ − + − And run:+ + + + − Then enter to your mailing list admin (yoursite.com/mailman/admin/yourlist) and go to non-digest and in "Should Mailman personalize each non-digest delivery?" choose either yes or full personalization, test both to see wich one do you like more...+ + +
Made some modifications in the order and simplified the instructions so copy-past should do the trick
If you want to enable personalization in mailman (make every mail sent with the name of the recipient in the to: field as example or add the name of the user on the text) you do this:
If you want to enable personalization in mailman (make every mail sent with the name of the recipient in the to: field as example or add the name of the user on the text) you do this:
<ol><li>Create the custom-templates tree, in case it does not exist already:
/etc/e-smith/templates/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py/
to
</li><li>
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/
Copy the hostname file from the templates tree to the templates-custom tree maintaining the directory layout:
cp \
/etc/e-smith/templates/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py/30hostname \
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py/30hostname
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py/30hostname
</li><li>
OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = 1
Now we need to add one line to the custom template fragment to enable personalization:
echo OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = 1 >> \
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py/30hostname
</li><li>
To refelct your changes we need to regenerate the file using the following commands:
expand-template /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
expand-template /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
signal-event reboot
signal-event reboot
</li><li>
After the server comes back up again enter your mailing list admin and go to non-digest and in "Should Mailman personalize each non-digest delivery?" choose either yes or full personalization. Test both to see wich one do you like more...
Also if you want to add a header with the person name enter in "Header added to mail sent to regular list members" this:
Also if you want to add a header with the person name enter in "Header added to mail sent to regular list members" this:
Hello dear %(user_name)s
Hello dear %(user_name)s
and mailman is going to replace the string with the name the person used when he/she subscribed.
