July 20, 1999

I generate User-Lists from our system-database sorted by membership in some groups and need to add those lists of emails to several mailing-lists *automatically* ... (With listserv, i just appended the files to the list of members - I know that the Web-based UI allows for Mass-Subscriptions, but i need to be able to add from running scripts) Thanx in advance for any help and Byebye, -- Thomas Ackermann | Tel.… [View More]

I'd like to group all the mailing list in a single digested daily letter
by Romain GRIFFITHS July 20, 1999

July 20, 1999

I'd like to send a newsletter for my customers. So i decided to try mailman with a read_only mailing list. But i'd like my customer to be able to choose between several mailing list about different subjects and send them a single mail once a day with the content of all the mailling list they had subscribed. I hope this question hasn't been answered yet because i didn't seek to the end of the mailman-users archive.

List owner address on Web pages
by David Osborne July 20, 1999

July 20, 1999

I'm evaluating Mailman as a replacement for Majordomo, which we currently use for over 370 lists totalling over 12,000 subscribers. It looks good so far! A few questions: 1: I notice that the footers of the Web pages relating to the test list I set up say "Test list run by realusername(a)my.list.host".

does ~mailman _REALLY_ need to be (2)775?
by Soren Dayton July 20, 1999

July 20, 1999

Because I stash sendmail aliases in ~mailman/aliases, I _don't_ have the mailman directory (2)775. But all the relevant places (that is, everything _BUT_ ~mailman/aliases). Is there some reason that the configure script _HAS TO_ bomb out on me (and I have to change the permissions, and sendmail has to log to hell and back for 3 minutes, etc.) Thanks Soren
