Need installer ASAP
by Brian Teal 16 Sep '02

16 Sep '02

I have just upgraded our servers and need to have Mailman installed ASAP. I don't know enough about Unix to do it myself. Are there any installers out there? I know I'm leaving myself wide open, but anyone I work with I'll have to require some information from. Thanks in advance.

Suppress "results of your email commands" message in 2.1?
by Harold Paulson 16 Sep '02

16 Sep '02

Hello, I'm trying to integrate Mailman into a larger site, and the "The results of your email commands" messages that get sent to users are somewhat redundant in my setup. Can Mailman be configured NOT to send these messages? - H -- Harold Paulson Sierra Web Design haroldp(a)sierraweb.com http://www.sierraweb.com VOICE: 775.833.9500 FAX: 775-201-4458

mailman-bugs list?
by Jason R. Mastaler 16 Sep '02

16 Sep '02

How about shuffling all the Sourceforge bug reports/replies to a separate list, instead of here? Not all of us are interested in reading these reports, and they also clutter this list IMO. -- (http://tmda.net/)

[ mailman-Bugs-609692 ] Non-member hold reason is wrong

Bugs item #609692, was opened at 2002-09-15 15:07 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=609692&group_i… Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 beta Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Les Niles (lniles) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Non-member hold reason is wrong Initial Comment: Maybe I'm missing something, but it would seem that Handlers.Moderate.process() should call hold.hold_for_approval() with a fourth arg of Hold.NonMemberPost instead of Hold.ModeratedPost at line 85. The latter causes confusion for the typical case of a member (person) posting from other than her subscribed email address, since she gets back a message saying that the post was to a moderated list. And the default reject message for the moderator, something about the posting being deemed inappropriate, is not appropriate. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=609692&group_i…

[ mailman-Bugs-566301 ] umbrella list: unsubscribe key public
by noreply＠sourceforge.net 13 Sep '02

13 Sep '02

Bugs item #566301, was opened at 2002-06-08 17:44 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=566301&group_i… Category: security/privacy Group: 2.1 beta >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Submitted By: Stefan Divjak (stdivjak) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: umbrella list: unsubscribe key public Initial Comment: Mailman offers a feature to set up an "umbrella-list", which is used if a list just has other lists as members. Assume we have an umbrella-list U, which has to members, X and Y - both are also lists. Now, cleverly, the monthly password reminders are not sent to X and Y, but to "X-owner" and "Y-owner" instead, so this information should reach the owners of the subscribed lists (sending a password reminder to X would mean giving each member of the X list the power to unsubscribe X from U etc.). But: If a member of X or Y opens the member options page (http://my.server.net/mailman/options/U/X) and clicks on the "unsubscribe" button, the necessary key is mailed to X (and not to "X-owner"). This is probably not what we want. If the list archive is not private, the password is even available to everyone out there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-09-13 15:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 I don't plan to fix umbrella lists since I want this feature to go away. I'd accept a patch though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-08-16 17:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Umbrella lists are a hack that will eventually go away. Still, if they're there now they should at least be safer. Any chance you'd like to generate a patch for this problem? If not, I'm lowering the priority because it involves a soon-to-be deprecated feature. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=566301&group_i…

You'd need to do some manual hacking on the object representation and then re-save it. If the message is important to you and you can't fix it, upload it or email it and I'll attempt to do so. If the message isn't important to you, just discard it.
