Hi, i asked this question already, but no response or fix yet. I installed Mailman with the Red Hat 6.0 install, and all works well until I try to confirm the request for joining a list.

Mailman digests
by David Osborne Aug. 24, 1999

Aug. 24, 1999

I've set up Mailman 1.0 (with Exim as MTA, on Solaris 2.5) and have been putting it through its paces with a view to replacing majordomo with it. It looks good so far! Here's an item for the wishlist and a couple of questions... WISHLIST ITEM: A list I run under majordomo appears only as a digest and I moderate the posts to it; I can see how to replicate this in Mailman. However, one feature I use for my present digest doesn't seem to be available in Mailman: generating the digest … [View More]

Moving list archive location
by Scott Kinnane Aug. 24, 1999

Aug. 24, 1999

Morning all, Just a simple thing really - how do you move a group of mailing lists from one location to another? I've asked about config.db before, and it seems really easy, but all I want to do is update the lists with the new location of their public/private archives. Can anyone help with this? TIA scott

Subscribing in bulk
by James Aylett Aug. 23, 1999

Aug. 23, 1999

I've just subscribed a load of people in one go via the web admin interface. Everything went more or less as expected - except that some users, apparently at random, had the "digest as plain text" option clear instead of set. All others were normal; I was getting perhaps three in every fifty. Any ideas? Mailman v1.0b8 (Debian packaged version).
