administration of lists without Cookies
by Christine Davis Jan. 4, 2000

Jan. 4, 2000

One of the people who administers lists on my site doesn't use cookies. What this causes, is that when they wish to make changes, it prompts them for the list password; but reverts the settings to how they were in the first place. Is there a work-around for this?

Archives Not Found!
by Pete Holsberg Jan. 4, 2000

Jan. 4, 2000

Whoops! 1) All of a sudden, none of the archives ofmy many mailing list can be found! I get: The requested URL /pipermail/[LISTNAME]/ was not found on this server. Could this be a Y2K thing? All the directories are there under ~mailman/archives/. O/S is Redhat 6.x. 2) Also, the membership of one list has disappeared entirely! Any way of recovering? Thanks, Pete

monthly password reminders q
by Fred Hicks Jan. 3, 2000

Jan. 3, 2000

I have a user who is asking not to receive the monthly password reminders; I want to keep the list configured to send those, as a default, but why isn't there an option for users to disable this on a user-by-user basis, themselves? Or _is_ this possible, and I've somehow missed it?

Handy way to get a list of all "nomail"ed subscribers?
by Dan Mick Jan. 3, 2000

Jan. 3, 2000

Is there a handy script to search through the right data structures and show me all the users who have the "nomail" option (or other options" set? I know I could hack one up, but I'm lazy and not quite Python-expert enough yet (the "iterate across all elements of user_options" loop is taking me some research). I'd take an undebugged hack.

I got a bunch of bounced monthly messages that were sent to people who are NOT on the mailing list reported in the message! What can that be all about? Thanks, Pete
