Hi, I would like to know if there is any way that we can remove the "USA" bit from the language options? For example, instead of "English (USA)" have just "English" Thanks, Anthony Carter

installation path
by syed 18 Mar '03

18 Mar '03

Hi! >From the documentation, the default installation path is /home/mailman. It is practical we install mailman in /home/mailman or we should install it at other location? (e.g /var/www/html) Or do you have special installation path to install mailman. I'm asking this silly question because i'm quiet confuse when other software(actually i'm trying to setup savannah) always asking me where is mailman cgi-bin path?

list statistics
by Marek Podmaka 18 Mar '03

18 Mar '03

Hi! I have written a program to generate statistics on email messages (which are in MBOX format) called MailListStat (MLS). It computes a lot of stats (TOP authors, subjects, mailers, some graphs, ...) Output is in text format (to be posted to list) or HTML format. Now it supports cache files for faster operations (uses PHP wrapper to allow user to choose language and some others options and stats are displayed from cache files really fast). New version (not yet released) can add new messages to cache file, so it's possible to automatically update cache file from .forward/.procmailrc... I would like to ask how this can be used with mailman. The best option in my opinion would be possibility to run MLS after new message is received for the list. Other options include using cron to daily generate the cache file or subscribing special user to the list who will run MLS from .forward/alias. But I think the first option is best. I have seen some requests for similar functionality in mailman, so I think it would be fine to integrate these two...

plus addresses fail in find_members
by Chuq Von Rospach 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

Looks like mailman doesn't handle plussed addresses right: plaidworks.com 156# echo "chuqui+test(a)plaidworks.com" | add_members -r - testlist Subscribed: chuqui+test(a)plaidworks.com plaidworks.com 157# find_member chuqui chuqui+test(a)plaidworks.com found in: testlist plaidworks.com 158# find_member chuqui+test seems like there's no way to find a plussed address from the command line without doing a dump, locating it, then doing a find_member on some subset. -- Chuq Von Rospach, Architech chuqui(a)plaidworks.com -- http://www.plaidworks.com/chuqui/blog/

Virtual domains
by Marilyn Davis 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

Someone who runs mailman lists on a virtual domain through cpanel has asked that I help him get eVote running on his lists. His host is trying to help too. But cpanel is proprietary and seems to set up the lists automatically by appending the aliases to the valiases file for the virtual domain. If the list is: test(a)my.net, the alias posts to test_my.net. But mailman seems to know, in some circumstances, like in list_lists, that the real name of the list is "test". Can anyone please give me a clue about how this is handled? Does anyone know anything about cpanel? Any clues at all will be greatly appreciated. I'm just banging my head against it and getting no where. Thanks. Marilyn Davis

unsubscribe.py
by Paul Boehm 14 Mar '03

14 Mar '03

Hi, Our NGO has lots of administrative overhead, because users manage to subscribe to our mailinglists, but find the unsubscribe procedure a lot harder (log in with password, go to options, unsubscribe) than bugging us. Because of this, we've added a drop-in unsubscribe CGI to our mailman install, which allows unsubscribe to work in a manner similiar to subscribing. Security-wise this should have no adverse implications, as challenge base unsubscription already is available via email, in stock mailman. To allow for i18n support, we'd really like to have our additional cgi accepted into the main tree. paul PS: Please CC me in replies, as i'm currently not subscribed to this list.
