In the listinfo page of a list there are a problem at the pipermail reference. You can see the problem at http://www.espaciolibre.net/cgi-bin/listinfo/chischis You can see that the archive of this list is referenced to http://www.espaciolibre.net/pipermail when the correct would be http://www.espaciolibre.net/pipermail/chischis At espaciolibre.net I have 2.1a3 but I have just seen this problem at the recent installed 2.1a4+ from CVS too. -- Rodolfo Pilas Quien los puso a estos tipos donde estan, rodolfo(a)linux.org.uy Quien los deja seguir en su lugar, http://rodolfo.pilas.net Quien los baja ahora de su altar, ICQ #17461636 Quien les paga para que hagan lo que haran http://xtralinux.org -=# Apocalipsis Now % Cuarteto de Nos #=- Public GnuPG key: http://www.keyserver.net 1024D/57153363 2001-06-02 key fingerprint = DAAE 3246 3F7D A420 B7A0 48A5 D120 C773 5715 3363

Sending reminders monthly, quarterly and yearly
by Matthias Klose Jan. 18, 2002

Jan. 18, 2002

[submitted as patch #502668 on sf.net] On announcment lists, there are often only a few mailings a year, so it seems to be inadequate to send monthly reminders or no reminders to the list. On sf.net #502668 you'll find two variants of a patch, which - extends the meaning of the send_reminders option (adding quaterly and yearly reminders) - adds a new option send_reminders_frequency For both cases, there is a new option `--cron' for `mailpasswds' to recognize, that the reminders are sent by the regular cron job (and not manually by an admin).

Re: [Mailman-Developers] Style Sheet (CSS) support

I contributed a number of patches in this thread to the SourceForge repository about 15 months ago or so. They didn't use CSS (since I dislike CSS and/or the way people use CSS and/or the degree of control my web browser gives me over interpretation & rendering of CSS), but they did enable considerable customization of look and feel. I don't think they've gotten past the 2.0a5 release I wrote them for, though, and I don't have the time to update them -- it's unfortunately more economical for me to have a disintegrated Mailman site than to keep my patches up to date with a CVS version I can't afford to run for real lists. :) > The problem is, the support I've hacked in for now only takes care of the > page background and some basic colors.

If anyone wants to find them on SF and update them for current Mailman, please feel free. At the time I wrote them, development was going too fast for Barry to consider and integrate the patches *or* for me to keep them up to date, so they're somewhat behind now. -- -D. dgc(a)uchicago.edu NSIT University of Chicago

Style Sheet (CSS) support
by Dan Rich Jan. 17, 2002

Jan. 17, 2002

I figure this question is probably better suited for this list than mailman-users. Has anyone looked at adding style sheet support to mailman? I've hacked it into my installtion, since I really need the mailman pages to have the same look-n-feel as the site the lists are related to. The problem is, the support I've hacked in for now only takes care of the page background and some basic colors. It looks like it will be *lots* of work to change all of the dynamic elements (banners, tables, etc). I don't want to start down this path if people are already working on it and it will all be obsolete in version 2.x.

Strange problem after a year of service
by Pro-phile Technology Solutions Jan. 17, 2002

Jan. 17, 2002

I run a hosting company that subcontracts the space on virtual servers from an outside company. These servers are UNIX boxes. I've had a mail list set up that revolves about 100+ messages a day through it's doors to over 350 members. I recently upgraded my server space (about 2:30 today) and the list stopped working at about 2:30 today. Hmmmm. They (the techs) said that the only thing they did was allocate more space on the servers I was on for me to use and they touched nothing else. I can tail my e-mail to the SMTP server and it states that it has been sent, but I get nothing posted to the mailman list. The directories are still there, and I can get into the html pages (http://server.server.com/admin/list) but I receive no mail. I'm a Windows guy (sorry) so I don't totally understand UNIX environments. Ids there something I should check or try off the top of your heads? I have several clients on the list and I'm SURE this doesn't look good to them. Thanks for the help! _________________________ Brian
