Mailman and Exim HOWTO document
by Nigel Metheringham Oct. 30, 1999

Oct. 30, 1999

[Copy sent separately to both exim and mailman lists] I updated and cleaned up my HOWTO information for using exim & mailman together and put it up on the exim web site. The exim list is now using *exactly* that configuration (copied and pasted from the howto) for its list settings, so I am reasonably confident that I didn't break something stupidly when copying :-) Any comments, corrections or additions on this can be sent directly to me. The URL for the HOWTO is http://www.exim.… [View More]

Email subscription with no confirmation
by Nicholas Brenckle Oct. 15, 1999

Oct. 15, 1999

At the beginning of each year, we do a massive creation of new accounts for students. (Well, not THAT massive but a few hundred anyway) Currently with PMDF listserv our addstudent script on the unix host that holds the student accounts fires off a "subscribe class-of-2001" message to the list server and the student is added. Mailman has that feature but requires a confirmation of the student before the subscription is added. While most would argue that this is acceptable, Im going to say most … [View More]

Mailman 1.0 & OpenBSD 2.5 & Python 1.5b2
by Nicholas Brenckle Oct. 14, 1999

Oct. 14, 1999

I installed the patch as posted by Tor Houghton (mailman-users : 30 March 1999 - http://www.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/1999-March/000941.html ) This didnt work for me. I still receive the error on newlist creation (see below) This is on an OpenBSD 2.5 system and Python 1.5b2. A little more poking and I found the solution was to set the list to 'openbsd2' instead of 'openbsd' in the posixfile.py lib file. Is now: if sys.platform in ('netbsd1', 'freebsd2', 'freebsd3'): Change to: … [View More]

htdig
by Bek Oberin Oct. 14, 1999

Oct. 14, 1999

How can I set up a search engine like htdig that uses the regular mailman (email+password) security? If I point it at http://hostname/pipermail/listname/ it's going to only index the enter-your-information pages and not the content, correct? How can I get around this? And how can I -then- require actual users to enter their email+password to access the info? bekj -- : --Hacker-Neophile-Eclectic-Geek-Grrl-Queer-Disabled-Boychick-- : gossamer(a)tertius.net.au http://www.tertius.net.au/~… [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Some subscribers receiving multiple copies
by Nigel Metheringham Oct. 5, 1999

Oct. 5, 1999

will(a)connectcorp.net said: > Some of our subscribers are reporting receiving 2, 3, or even 4 copies > of each post. I've seen very occasional examples of this on our list running mailman 1.0. The headers show that the duplication is occurring at the point where mailman injects the message into the MTA for delivery to the list subscribers. I've just checked yesterdays logs and found one message that did this. In this case the final mail injection was duplicated - ie mailman … [View More]

Problems with subscribed users
by Aaron Optimizer Digulla Oct. 1, 1999

Oct. 1, 1999

I have a closed list but for some *subscribed* users, all posts must be approved by me (error Only subscribed users may post to the list). (See Bug 126 in the jitterbug DB). Can you please have a look ASAP because many valid users get these mails back ? This seems to be related to having several aliases for a machine. -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla Team AMIGA AROS Head of Development Author of XDME, ResTrackLib, CInt. <http://www.aros.org/> "(to) optimize: Make a … [View More]

Hi, After installing mailman at the bottom of my mailing list pages it says it is version 1.0. However, it seems as this list runs on v 1.0.2 . Look at the bottom of: http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Can someone explain what the difference is if any? Is 1.0.2 the latest release? later, Mentor

Sept. 30, 1999

Dear Mailman Makers, GREAT PROGRAM! Running mailing lists was the reason I got into linux oh so long ago. Mailman is the tool that we all needed all those years. Congradulations! (kudos to majordomo required at this point... :) Dear Mailman Users, I have a simple problem. But I just can't find the switch to fix it. I get this warning in pink at the top of an admin page. >> Warning: you have lst members, but non-digestified mail is turned off. They will receive mail until you fix … [View More]

mailman and debian
by Michael Stevens Sept. 30, 1999

Sept. 30, 1999

Hi. I'm using the mailman release supplied with the current stable debian distribution. The package version is: ii mailman 1.0rc2-5 Powerful, web based list processor The problem I'm having is that I've partially but not completely got mailman working. I can create a newlist with 'newlist', subscribe to it, post stuff, all that. I can subscribe via the web. But if I try to go to the web admin page, going to the url supplied in the mail sent when the list was created, I … [View More]
