Virtual Domains -- functioning
by William R. Dickson Jan. 5, 2000

Jan. 5, 2000

Hi all, Method 2 as I described in my previous message works like a charm. I noticed some questions on this subject in the list archives, and somebody else asked about it just today, so as soon as I get a little time I'll document exactly how I did this and post it. -Bill -- William R.

mailman, virtual servers and exim
by Pere Camps Jan. 5, 2000

Jan. 5, 2000

Hi! I'd like to set up mailman so I can have different lists on the same machine that its running many virtual hosts on apache and exim (the mail server). I've grepped the docs, but I found nothing explaining how to do it, and if try ./newlist name(a)virtual-domain.org, mailman tells me that it doesn't want the '@'. Is there an easy way for this, or does it require full understanding of mailman (which I don't have). Thanks for your help! -- p.

Thanks to all who replied -- I knew I was missing something obvious. I mistook that for a subscription option. I'll put on the "dingbat" hat now and sit in the corner.

unsubscribing users
by William R. Dickson Jan. 5, 2000

Jan. 5, 2000

Hi all, I installed Mailman last night, and I'm very impressed. This is a nice piece of work. I've got one question, and have looked through the mail archives but haven't seen it brought up -- how can I, as the list administrator, unsubscribe a user from a list? I tried using the list admin password to do so, but it seems to want the user password. Thanks, -Bill -- William R.

admin problem resolved
by sigma＠pair.com Jan. 5, 2000

Jan. 5, 2000

After upgrading to today's CVS source, the admin interface now works... I never found specific information about this problem in jitterbug, but I suppose it's been resolved. When is 1.2 coming out? :) I'll write later today about our plans to utilize and support Mailman in the PairList project. I had hoped to start with that, not a bug report, but them's the breaks. Thanks, Kevin Martin sigma(a)pair.com

Problems w/ admin
by sigma＠pair.com Jan. 5, 2000

Jan. 5, 2000

At pair Networks, we've just started operating a "test" service using Mailman and Postfix. Unfortunately, in the first few hours, we're already having a problem with the admin interface. It worked fine, but after creating several dozen lists, it's stopped working for *any* list. After you input the admin password, you get a report like this: Bug in Mailman version 1.1 We're sorry, we hit a bug! If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of this page to the … [View More]

Mailman and Exim
by Randy Edwards Jan. 5, 2000

Jan. 5, 2000

I've taken a look at the Exim help page for MailMan at <http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman.html> but I'm still having problems getting Exim and MailMan to work. Can someone using Exim give me an example of their aliases setup for MailMan? Thanks in advance. -- Regards, | "The ultimate result is that some innovations that would . | truly benefit consumers never occur for the sole reason Randy | that they do not coincide with Microsoft's self-interest." | -- … [View More]
