I've got a problem. I entered E-Mail-addresses when in "Membership Management". There was no problem at addresses belong to my own server. When addresses entered that belong to other host the username part changed this way: entered somebody(a)host.domain got: somebody-owner(a)host.domain Can somebody help me?

Message approval problems 1.0b8
by Jonathan Bradshaw Feb. 17, 1999

Feb. 17, 1999

I am running mailman 1.0b8 and have a problem with approving messages on a list. If the message comes from a non-list member (and gets diverted) and is then approved it gets sent in the digest but it does not go out the reflector. Everything else seems to work fine. Anyone else seen this? -- Jonathan Bradshaw <Jonathan(a)NrgUp.Com> | Novell 4.x CNE | Ham Callsign N9OXE "...I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil.

Question on add_members routine
by Nicholas Brenckle Feb. 17, 1999

Feb. 17, 1999

Ive been testing out mailman for a few weeks now and I love it. Does most anything I want it to and once I get a chance to check out the python code I know I can make it to more. I needed a program to syncronize the maillists from a database dump. I ended up writing a perl script to do this and just call the commands as necessary. (Build the current list from "list_members", compare to the dump, and build the list of people to add, and the people to remove) The remove list works great. I can … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] How to backup datas?
by Harald Meland Feb. 15, 1999

Feb. 15, 1999

[Alex Yu] > Hello, > > Can anyone teach me how to backup datas? To make *completely* sure you have consistent backups of Mailman, you need to make sure that while you are collecting in the data to put on your backup tapes (or whatever), that data set isn't changing. IOW, you need to lock Mailman from being changed until your backup is complete. To get a grip on what kind of locking Mailman supports, this could be a start: $ find Mailman -name \*.py | xargs grep -i 'def[^(]*lock'… [View More]

Is there a way to > extract and convert them to a MailMan achive? I have no knowledge of Listserv, so I don't know about extraction -- but if you can get the archives extracted to standard mbox files, you can use $prefix/bin/arch LIST_NAME /path/to/extracted/archive.mbox to add any messages in the extracted archive (but not … [View More]
