I'm curious... are the anti-spam features (such as restricted posting) for this list turned off? I've not had a spammer attack any of my lists yet <wood knock="on">... If they aren't, could I suggest they be turned on so we can see if the Kuppler crooks make it through again? -Ray

Monthly Password Reminders
by Andrew Ernst April 5, 1999

April 5, 1999

Greetings, I am using 1.0b9 still, and before upgrading to b11, I just wanted to see if the following (what seems to be an error) has been fixed? I have about 20 lists that I have moved to mailman, and the last one is setup for a "prefered domain" of striders.ns.ca. Many of the other lists have different preferred domains. However, when the cron job ran on Apr 1 to send everyone's passwords, people on ALL the other lists received messages that told them their passwords at "striders.ns.… [View More]

feature request

April 5, 1999

Hi, When i read about exim in the archive, i decided to check it out myself... it looked very good so i decide to kick qmail out the door :) The digest works like a charm now with exim. but i do think it would be nice to have some sort of script that validates all the permissions in the directories and that can stell what you are doing wrong.. anyway one of the reasons i'm switching to mailman is that i need the list to be moderated through the web... the way it works now is that it puts all … [View More]

I am running postfix 19990330 on my test server and all appears to be working well. I also run Mailman as a mailing list manager. I am preparing to replace sendmail with postfix on my production server that also hosts several virtual domains. My question is are there any caviats that I need to be careful of in making this transition? What are the known interactions and/or problems ralated to Postfix/Named Virtual Domains/Mailman? I realize that there are some significant differences in … [View More]

Mailman 1.0b11
by Joshua E. Rodd April 4, 1999

April 4, 1999

Hello, I want to say that I got the sources to 1.0b11 this morning, built and installed them, and have been using them without mishap since. I'd like to complement the authors of mailman for an excellent piece of freed software. The web interface is pretty; the code is clean; it's easy to use; and the user interface is friendly. I am writing a README.exim to make it clear to people who know nothing about either mailman or exim to help them get started. Cheers, Joshua.

permission woes...
by ricardo＠miss-janet.com April 4, 1999

April 4, 1999

Hi, I'm in the process of switching a mailinglist from majordomo to mailman... after a few sleepless nights i got a test list running with mailman. The reason why it took so long was that i needed to upgrade python to 1.51 to get it to actually do something (v1.5 that comes with slackware didnt seem to work like it should) but since i'm running qmail i thought it was a qmail problem. Anyway i till have one problem left: the digest doesn't work yet, cron sends me this: Traceback (innermost … [View More]
