Possible suggestion to Mailman
by Marco Antonio Reis Henriques Aug. 1, 2003

Hi All, Recently we was faced with an embarrasing situation. We created a list with a list administrator and option "Send e-mail to inform list owner..." checked. After, we included more three administrators, but these administrators didn't receive a message to inform the password for list administrator. I think this is useful to inform another list administrators from the list. What you think ?!? Cheers, Marco

Fwd: [Mailman-Users] Bi-directional news gateway?
by Brad Knowles Aug. 1, 2003

Aug. 1, 2003

Folks, I sent this to the mailman-users mailing list, and didn't get a useful answer. Is there someone on this list who may be more familiar with this issue? --- begin forwarded text Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2003 16:27:00 +0200 To: mailman-users(a)python.org From: Brad Knowles <brad.knowles(a)skynet.be> Subject: [Mailman-Users] Bi-directional news gateway? Sender: mailman-users-bounces+brad=stop.mail-abuse.org(a)python.org Folks, Okay, question time. I've set up a bi-directional gateway with the newsgroup comp.protocols.time.ntp. I can post to the mailing list and have that go through to the newsgroup just fine. However, I subscribed myself to the mailing list, and I'm not getting any of the postings to the newsgroup sent to me. Is there a cron job that I've missed, or some other advice you can give me regarding the setup of bi-directional news gateways?

Python 2.3 ?
by Bill Bradford Aug. 1, 2003

Is it safe to upgrade to Python 2.3 from 2.2.2 with an existing MailMan installation without breaking things? Bill -- bill bradford mrbill(a)mrbill.net austin, texas
