It wouldn't be very hard to craft up some little script to call them from an email alias. See the stuff in ~mailman/bin. Don't worry if you don't read Python; there are comments and usually a --help to explain what they do.

Bulk subscribe users

I'm evaluating Mailman and I'm quite impressed. However, one criteria is to be able to subscribe a large (2000+) number of users and be able to remove/add users based on information we receive on a regular basis. Is there a way to add/delete or modify subscription by email (as the list owner not as a user wanting to subscribe etc)? In fact are there any admin commands available using email instead of the web interface ? Much Thanks

URL missing /mailman/ part
by Serge Plüss Nov. 29, 2000

Nov. 29, 2000

Hi there I have just completed installing mailman including all the adjustments to apache and sendmail. I created a new list and in the email I got sent back the URL's where missing the /mailman/ part. Instead the URL would say: http://hostname/admin.cgi/test which would fail with 404. Here is what I added to httpd.conf Alias /pipermail/ "/home/mailman/archives/public/" and ScriptAlias /mailman/ "/home/mailman/cgi-bin/" Doesn't that second entry mean that the URL should look something like http://hostname/mailman/admin.cgi/test If I type that in I get to the correct page, but on subsequent clicks it will generate the invalid path again. So far I couldn't find where the paths for the html codes and for generating the list email (which includes the path) get defined. Thanks for your help Serge

smtp works, sendmail doesn't
by Peggy Callinan Nov. 28, 2000

Nov. 28, 2000

Hello, I've upgraded from MailMan 2.05b -> 2.0 on Solaris. Lists posting work when SMTP is used for delivery (which is the method I used for 2.05b), but I haven't had any success with sendmail. I added the entries below to mm_cfg.py: DELIVERY_MODULE = 'Sendmail' and SENDMAIL_CMD = '/pmdf/bin/sendmail' (Innosoft's PMDF is the MTA; there's a symlink to /usr/lib/sendmail but I tried adding the latter just in case) The *.db and *.msg files remain in the qfiles directory and the only relevant log entry is in mailman/log/post, but I'm not clear on the relevance of the 'success' and 'failure' messages: Nov 28 16:58:01 2000 (13105) post to subtest from callinma(a)edtemp2.harvard.edu, size=166, failure=92 Nov 28 16:58:01 2000 (13105) post to subtest from callinma(a)edtemp2.harvard.edu, size=166, success Nov 28 16:59:00 2000 (13111) post to subtest from callinma(a)edtemp2.harvard.edu, size=166, failure=92 Nov 28 16:59:00 2000 (13111) post to subtest from callinma(a)edtemp2.harvard.edu, size=166, success etc. Any ideas on what I'm missing or have misconfigured here would be appreciated.

by Will Partain Nov. 28, 2000

Nov. 28, 2000

Sorry for what is plainly a newbie question... I looked hard, honest :-) Does anyone have a crib sheet about converting a majordomo site to a mailman (2.0) site? If I receive Lots of Stuff, I'll summarize back to the list... Thanks, Will

request confirmation vanishes
by David Nov. 28, 2000

Nov. 28, 2000

I've just completed install on RH6 and set up a test mailing list. I subscibed myself and received a confirmation (from test-request). My reply to the confirmation request seems to have vanished. It doesn't bounce, but it also hasn't completed the subscriptions. To test, I sent a request for info, and this also vanishes, no bounce, but no reply. I tried to post also, but that vanishes. My aliases look like this: ## test mailing list ## created: 29-Nov-2000 mailman test: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test" test-admin: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test" test-request: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test" test-owner: test-admin any suggestions what I'm doing wrong? All the websites look ok TIA, David.
