REALLY WEIRD

June 2, 1999

Ok, in response to my previous messages from a few minutes ago...it started working again! (I knew when I got a message from one of the lists I run...so I then sent out a test message to another list, and that made it out...AND now I got a listinfo page to work). The bizzare thing is that we haven't touched anything..the only thing that went on in the interim was the other guy running Tripwire to check for funny business.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------… [View More]

[Steve Dinn] > Is there a way to approve or deny a post by using a command line utility? Well, you _could_ use the python interpreter... but no, there's no "nice" command line interface to mailman. However, you can send commands to the lists -request address. -- Harald

Re: [Mailman-Users] Weird Configuration Error

[John Rizzo] > One thing do I have to worry about group privleges or something like that > and if so what? Whenever a Mailman script needs special access privileges to some Mailman file, this is done by a setGID (not setUID) wrapper. So yes, you need to worry about group privileges. I don't think there is a "fix Mailman's permissions" script -- yet. You could try doing # chown -R mailman.mailman /usr/lib/mailman # chmod -R ug+rw,o-w /usr/lib/mailman # find /usr/lib/mailman -… [View More]

Oops, never mind that two of the log lines say "monm" and two say "host"... I was trying to change the host/domain references and missed a couple. -Brian Ryner bryner(a)uiuc.edu

Hi ... this is actually a re-post of a problem I sent earlier, but I've still haven't managed to solve it. I set up a demo mailman installation at my server. Everything goes fine, I got my lists out, subcription work OK, admin page is cool, etc. However, the problem is my archives page. My current archives isn't accessible with a message "You don't have permission to access /pipermail/sme/1999-May.txt.gz on this server." The previous week's archives are ok. You can have a look yourself … [View More]

Get rid of Apparently To?
by John-David Childs June 2, 1999

June 2, 1999

My boss just sent out a notice to our customer list using mailman 1.0rc1 and wrote "this new list software sucks" because it included an "apparently-to:" line for each of our customers in the header. I had never noticed this before because I use various unix mailers and have most headers turned off. He apparently uses Eudora which shows those apparently to's by default. Is there any way to get rid of it so that the membership list isn't divulged every time mailman sends out a message (or … [View More]
