See https://www.postfix.org/sqlite_table.5.html `%%` is replaced with `%` which is a SQL wildcard matching anything and `%s` is replaced by the key postfix is looking for, i.e. the domain that it is asking about. So, that query becomes SELECT 1 FROM users WHERE email LIKE '%(a)fast.za.net' UNION SELECT 1 FROM aliases WHERE source LIKE '%(a)fast.za.net' UNION SELECT 1 FROM auto_aliases WHERE source LIKE '%(a)fast.za.net' I.e, it returns true if any user or alias or auto_alias has an address ending in '@fast.za.net' and if that's true the mail to any '@fast.za.net' address including list mail will be stored locally. If you really have local users on box2.gtahardware.co.za with addresses '@fast.za.net' and you want to relay list mail to lists '@fast.za.net', you need to see https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.h…. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Yes, this is an outlook thing, but you do have some control. See the FAQ article at <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030707> for a more detailed explanation, but the issue is that after any content filtering has been applied, the message is still multipart so Mailman adds the footer as a separate MIME text/plain part at the end of the message. You can avoid this by doing heavy content filtering on the messages. Namely, accept only multipart, text/plain and text/html, collapse alternatives and convert html to plain text. Note that some of this involves updating the list's pass_types which is not exposed in Postorius before 1.3.3 which is not yet released. > 2.

Please join at <https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users@mailman3.org/> before replying there. That said, we are working on packaging for a more turn-key installation, but we aren't there yet. I've installed a couple of instances including the one at lists.mailman3.org, and it does require extra work. Some of the work in my case is because I want to run all the Mailman pieces from the heads of their branches rather than what's in PyPI, but even without that, installation is significantly more work than installing a distro's package. I will be writing up my experiences, but that's not done yet either. I will say that once you have Mailman 3 installed and running, updating (which I do frequently, but which doesn't need to be done unless you want specific updates/fixes) is pretty easy. As far as alternatives are concerned There is an up to date Mailman 2.1 branch with better virtual domain support at <https://code.launchpad.net/~msapiro/mailman/vhost>, but I think in the long run, you'd be better off with Mailman 3. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
