The admin/www/mailman-install.* files included in the 2.1.6b tarballs need to be rebuilt so they pick up the typo corrected in doc/mailman-install.tex. -- Jim Tittsler http://www.OnJapan.net/ GPG: 0x01159DB6 Python Starship http://Starship.Python.net/crew/jwt/ Mailman IRC irc://irc.freenode.net/#mailman

setup with central database
by mss＠mawhrin.net 05 Apr '05

Hi I'd like to create a rather special installation of mailman. Environment central user database, with its own methods of add/removing/modifying users, as well as disabling (temporarily of permanently) apache2 serves all stuff Access to the website (to any part of it) is restricted to authenticated users Now we came to the interesting part. If I just install the mailman as it is, the user would have to enter the authentication information twice, thus the first question: is it possible to somehow "re-use" the authentication information? From the other hand, it should be impossible to subscribe people who are not in the user database. And as soon as they are disabled, they do not receive any more mailings. Does anybody have any ideas how to implement such a setup? Right now I have a strong feeling that it's gonna require quite a bit of coding, and I'd really like to avoid it. Kind Regards -- Misha

Mysql Adaptor

Hi I searched the mailing list and found this MySql Adaptor for mailman. As far as I can see, it's not included in the release. Thus I have several questions: 1. Are there any particular reasons why it's included? 2. Can people who use this adaptor share their experience? Kind Regards -- Misha
