A way to kill your machine with mailman
by Craig Kelley Aug. 4, 1999

Aug. 4, 1999

Setup a mailing list where the list administrator's e-mail does not exist (or, better said, the list administrator moves on and his email goes away). Mailman will play ping-pong with the target SMTP machine until you shutdown your MTA, kill the python jobs, clean out the mqueue, and nuke the mailman outgoing data files. -- The wheel is turning but the hamster is dead.

Creating links to archived attachements.
by Lee Marzke Aug. 4, 1999

Aug. 4, 1999

When viewing archives, any attachements are just included in the body of the message as a MIME attachment. Is any work going on to add an HTML link to the attachement as MHonarc does ?

re: [Mailman-Users] Sym link not created for public archives ..
by Scott Kinnane Aug. 4, 1999

Aug. 4, 1999

I've sort have solved the problem ... or at least I know Mailman isn't to blame (damn :) ) - apologies for any confusion caused. Part of the problem was not only did I upgrade, but I also moved the archives (or rather copied to start with) of existing mailing lists. As best as I can tell, the config.db for each list tells mailman where the archive directory is. Is there any easy way I can update these config files to point to the new archive location? I only have 6 lists at this stage, so … [View More]

Sym link not created for public archives ..
by Scott Kinnane Aug. 4, 1999

Aug. 4, 1999

I just upgraded from 1.0b8 to the 1.0 release, and everything went remarkably well. .... except for one thing - the symbolic links for public archives isn't created. I did read of similar articles in Jan 99's archives, and previously it worked (no its not the followsymlink problem), but now the sym link isn't created or removed. As both my mailman user and web server user, I manually created the sym links and all was ok - but then changing the list setting from public to private left the link … [View More]

Removal of [...] in replies
by Tor Houghton Aug. 3, 1999

Aug. 3, 1999

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to make Mailman remove excess [LISTNAME] when people reply to posts? Replies to lists with the [LISTNAME] option enabled have the annoying habit of producing Subject: lines that look like this: [LIST] Re: [LIST] Another day Re: [LIST] Another day (etc) Tor.

List Doesn't Show Up Publicly
by Roy Rapoport Aug. 3, 1999

Aug. 3, 1999

How odd. Some time ago I had some list config file corruption, so I restored all the config files to their previous backups. Now I find that when I do mailman/listinfo I don't see any lists, even though at least one list I checked is set to 'Advertise this list when people ask what lists are on this machine.' What am I missing? -roy

New User message and Unsubscribe message
by Glen Malley Aug. 3, 1999

Aug. 3, 1999

What part of the system is used to send the new user and unsubscribe messages? Mailman has no problem sending Japanese encoded text in messages TO the list....but if Japanese is included in the new user and/or unsubscribe messages, garbage results. Are these handled differently than normal mail? Why?
