Hi all, is it possible to tell mailman to change the message ID of a mail, so that the original mail and the mails delivered to the members have different IDs? best regards, Dietmar --------------------------------------------------- Dietmar Maurer Maurer IT Systemlösungen KEG Technischer Leiter Kohlgasse 51/9 Tel: +43 1 545 449 712 A - 1050 WIEN Fax: +43 1 545 449 722 Mobil: +43 699 105 88 032 dietmar(a)maurer-it.com http://www.maurer-it.com ---------------------------------------------------

one-click unsubscribe
by Jim Gottlieb 29 Jan '04

29 Jan '04

Is anyone working on extending VERP-like features to allow for true one-click unsubscribe? Right now, it's at least three-click, plus waiting for the confirmation to arrive. We'd really like to include a link in each message that will allow them to very easily get off our list. On a related note, if we were to send HTML email (I know, I know), will variables be expanded in the text we submit so that we could create links that will be different for each user? So that, say with the current capabilities, we could have something like <A HREF=http://mailman.nccom.com/mailman/options/kxt/%(member-address)s>Click here to manage your subscription</A>

What happens with mailman after a crash
by Somuchfun 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

I have a question in regards to mailman's recovery abilities. Let's say mailman is running and sending out messages to a large list and the machine crashes or is rebooted, does mailman pickup where it stopped? Or is the run gone forever?

Adding headers to mailman generated mails
by Somuchfun 25 Jan '04

25 Jan '04

I have a problem that might affect lots of people who send emails to large lists. AOL requires an additional header in the emails identifying the recipient for the feedback loops to unsubscribe AOL users who complain. So how do I add an additional header with a field? Thanks for all the help!

prevent qp as qp routine broken
by Michael Heydekamp 25 Jan '04

25 Jan '04

Hi, as Mailman's qp routine seems to be completely broken I'd like to know how to prevent Mailman from qp'ing messages (for instance when sending out subscribeack.txt) at all. I don't see the benefit of qp'ing anyway but wouldn't mind if Mailman would do it correctly. But that's not the case ... Any hint is appreciated. Michael

Something > else must have happened. I apologize -- I missed Barry's reply, and coincidentally didn't think my first post to this list ever made it past the moderator. Thank you to Brad and Berry for replying. Both of you suggested it was not Mailman which caused this behavior. >From your experience, do you think that it could be my MTA, Sendmail 8.12.6? It is a fairly stock configuration. I know this is a bit off topic, but if anyone has any ideas here, I'd deeply appreciate a response (on or off list). Keep up the good work with Mailman, it's a great piece of software! Thanks again, Ryan

Mailman and CVS
by Kory Wheatley 24 Jan '04

24 Jan '04

This question is not really related to Mailman, but I'm sure with the knowledge of the developers it can easily be answered about CVS. I've been asked to setup a CVS Repository on a dedicated machine just for this purpose, of course users will need to be able to add their updates over the network. My question is where is good instructions about using CVS (commands), and installing it on one center Repository, and setting up rights for individuals. Thank you in advance. -- Kory Wheatley Academic Computing Analyst Sr. Phone 282-3874 ######################################### Everything must point to him.
