I find that mailman works fine with Exim, and requires no patches or other tweaks to do so. -- J C Lawrence Internet: claw(a)kanga.nu (Contractor) Internet: coder(a)… [View More]

No passwords for members?
by Christopher Lindsey March 21, 1999

March 21, 1999

I could've sworn that this was addressed on the list already, but I can't seem to find the message about it... So here I go (again?) Anyhow, I recently converted a SmartList list to Mailman via the add_members script, but now I'm getting this error message for all of the users who try accessing their password: Mailman noticed in .MailUserPassword() that: User: 'xxxxxxxxxx(a)aol.com' List: rose-list lacks a password. Please notify the Mailman system manager at this … [View More]

Web-based e-mail using mailman?
by g.c.prasad＠usa.net March 19, 1999

March 19, 1999

Hi, I've just subscribed to this list, and since there's no FAQ, I'm posting this question to the list: Does mailman provide a way for a website to offer Hotmail-style web-based e-mail to its users? That would be a very useful feature, i my opinion. I have been looking for such a (free) tool, but there doesn't seem to be one available. Thanks and regards, Ganesh C.

issues with BSD/OS 4.0 and mailman 1.0b8
by Vivek Khera March 15, 1999

March 15, 1999

The web site says that Python 1.5 or newer is required. It seems to be that 1.5.1 or newer is required, as the "getpass" module does not exist in 1.5. Also, under BSD/OS unix (and most BSD in general) the group setgid bit is not necessary on directories -- the default bahavior is to use the directory's group when creating new files. Having the setgid bit causes annoying security alerts, but is otherwise harmless. The INSTALL document says that the default list for --with-mail-gid is '… [View More]

creating lists via email ?
by mark williamson March 12, 1999

March 12, 1999

Is there an email interface for creating/removing mailing lists? We'd like to be able to send a message to an admin address and create/remove mailing lists, or via a web browser. Is this possible? Thanks, Mark Williamson

And I only got your > email address by doing a 'whois' on 'list.org'. Hmm. There should be an INSTALL file in the distribution. You did get the 1.0b8 distribution, didn't you? The www.list.org web site provides some information. For example, the user support mailing list is mailman-users(a)list.org. I see that the FAQ is not on the site, … [View More]

Mailman customizations...
by Mike Cisar March 1, 1999

March 1, 1999

Can anyone tell me if it is (or will in a future version) be possible to to totally customize the HTML that is output by Mailman... for example the output of http://www.yaddayadda.yadda/listinfo, etc? While there are a couple of minor changes I would prefer to make to the text itself, the major thing is that I would like to change the colors, font, etc. to match the rest of my site. I'd presume that because some of the HTML is already customizable, that the remainder will be made so in the … [View More]

mailman/nntplib.py/inn problem
by J Kinsley Feb. 28, 1999

Feb. 28, 1999

First of all, I want to say Mailman is exactly what I have wanted but didn't know existed. I run a dozen or so mail lists with web archives and news gating using a glued together mess of shell scripts, C programs, Perl scripts, and procmail scripts. It's one of those things that started as a simple task and sort of evolved over time. Now that the number of lists are growing, it is fast becoming an administration nightmare. Mailman is the perfect solution. Thanks to all you who made it … [View More]
