Trying to Figure Out (Are Email Commands Adjustable)
by Christopher VanOosterhout Dec. 29, 2000

Dec. 29, 2000

Greetings, Is there any reason why the address syntax for the subscribe / unsubscribe email commands are not identical? I am working on a method of subscribing users via my own (guestbook style) interface. The fact that address with subscribe requires address=address(a)host.com and unsubscribe only requires address(a)host.com 1) Is there a reason for this (functional or otherwise)? 2) Can this be changed in a setting, etc.

Not Allowing Local Archive Access
by Kenneth Jacker Dec. 29, 2000

Dec. 29, 2000

I have a hunch I'm just being dense/stupid, but I'm not sure how to make (a least some) list archives unreadable on the 'Mailman' host. It appears everything under ~mailman has at least `--x' permissions for the world/others and many have 'r-x' or just 'r--'. What do I do to make certain list archives *unreadable* locally? Thanks, -Kenneth

changing standard texts, and lists command
by John Read Dec. 29, 2000

Dec. 29, 2000

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hello, I am setting mailman to run lists where some are in German, and others in English. I have edited the texts in ./templates to include both languages, but some body texts and subject texts dont seem to tbe there. Where can I find them? Question: is it possible to set up a list to use specific text files from the ./templates directory (for example - in German)? Question: I would like to stop anybody querying "lists" via the xxx-request. Is this possible?? Thanks in advance. - -- John Read NewNet Marketing Waldweg 15 83558 Maitenbeth Tel: +49-8076-8879818 Fax: +49-8076-8879819 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.3 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBOkyWVNflThNvxm27EQL1OACg1jcskUlFLz5QkzgNTN48jYUxR5cAoLYT gQru0U8753HutDr1FhDQHvX6 =lLIT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Renaming a list...
by Mike Cisar Dec. 28, 2000

Dec. 28, 2000

Is there any quick and dirty way of renaming a list under Mailman? I've run into a situation where I've got 2 lists with about 200 members on each and their names are so close that a quick typo seems to be resulting in a lot of postings going to the wrong list. I've decided the easiest way to resolve this is to just rename one of the lists, but I'd rather not have to create a new list, move the subscriptions over, etc, etc if it is at all possible to avoid that. Thanks. >>>>> Mike <<<<<

how to expand threads in archive?
by Sean K. Kelly Dec. 28, 2000

Dec. 28, 2000

Just installed version 2 on RedHat 6.2 running Apache. I see from visiting other archives that when sorting by thread the thread "tree" is expanded. I can only see the top level or start of each thread. I can follow the thread by selecting "next message", but I cannot see the replies on the main archive page. Apologies if I have missed something obvious in the install docs.. thanks Sean Kelly

GID Errors...
by Jason Dec. 28, 2000

Dec. 28, 2000

Hey I was wondering If I installed mailman with spm (slackware package manager) because for some reason I can't install it from source. I installed the rpm version and its giving me GID errors... I was wondering if there is a way to change the GID of mailman or change the GID of the group or something to make mailman work? Is that possible... change the GID of a rpm installed on a slackware system. jason
