problem with message approval
by Alan Barnes May 11, 1999

May 11, 1999

We are having a problem with the rc1 version of mailman. The problem also existed is previous versions I tried. If you select to allow posts only from members AND to not have to approve each message it doesn't work right. We still have to approve every message and the reason given is that posts are allowed by members only. How exactly is the mailman try to determine if you are on the list? Sometimes it looks like it's getting it from Sender: and sometimes it looks like it's getting info … [View More]

listmembers still requiring moderation
by John Lewis May 11, 1999

May 11, 1999

After upgrading to 1.b11, listmembers of my lists are having their messages require moderator approval, even though I've set them up to be allowed to post. What am I missing? Is it a permissions thing? Wish I could search the archives... -John Lewis

[Q] pipermail status & more
by Bernhard Reiter May 11, 1999

May 11, 1999

Hi Mailmen, thanks for this nice mailing list management software. I'm trying it out and it looks quite nice to far. But I have a couple of questions. Archiving: As pipermail is declared obsolete by its author, what is the status of this package. It seems to be partially supported by the mailman authors. Will it be supported? Otherwise I think that mailman doesn't necessarily need to support an archiving and searching web engine. Most people want a ready to go solution and it would be easy … [View More]

Maximum number of subscribers?
by John Lewis May 7, 1999

May 7, 1999

I can't remember the specific details, but what is the maximum number of subscribers that mailman can handle? What is the practical number? If it can hold thousands, is there any easy way to search the member list for specific addresses? The reason I ask this is I have a 19,000 member list that I'm thinking of migrating, and some of the addresses in it are not the current addresses users are using... So when they ask to be removed, and can't find their exact address, I need to do the … [View More]

`Password reminder' message lacks some helpful properties
by ijackson＠chiark.greenend.org.uk May 7, 1999

May 7, 1999

Observe the attached bounce message. Unfortunately, I can't easily do anything about it because the original message doesn't tell me which list(s) it relates to. Furthermore, the password reminders are sent with envelope from mailman-owner rather than the listowner; this means that the wrong person has to deal with it. Would it be possible for a future version of Mailman to: (a) Provide correct machine-readable information about which list(s) the message relates to in the headers. (… [View More]

list member data base
by Richard B. Pyne May 7, 1999

May 7, 1999

I have some web pages that I want to put up for use by members of a closed mailing list. Has anyone used the list database to restrict access to web pages other than those managed directly by Mailman? I would appreciate any insights on this idea. Thanks, ------------------------------ Richard B. Pyne, KB7RMU rpyne(a)kinfolk.org http://pyne.kinfolk.org/rbp2

List of vendors that run Mailman?
by editor4＠chiconews.com May 5, 1999

May 5, 1999

All, I am shopping for a vendor that uses Mailman software to run lists. The vendor I now use does not want to add new lists unless they will use Majordomo. Any specific suggestions? Bob Fleming editor4(a)chiconews.com
