I use UdmSearch, a MySQL based site search engine. It works quite nicely, tho its MailMan ignorant (which is what I want). -- J C Lawrence Home: claw(a)kanga.nu ----------(*) Other: coder(a)kanga.nu --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--

Setting a Reply-To?
by Roberto Ullfig Feb. 1, 2000

Feb. 1, 2000

Does the newest version of mailman allow an administrator to setup a Reply-To field for all outgoing messages? This is important for lists that are used as one way lists where members never send and always receive email from the list. This feature was in Majordomo and is being sorely missed by a couple of list owners. Also, is there a way for the moderator of a list to edit a message sent by a member when he/she approves it? - another feature in Majordomo that appears to be absent... -- Roberto Ullfig : rullfig(a)uchicago.edu Systems Administrator Networking Services and Information Technologies University of Chicago

Hello all, I have a problem with subscribers who say they don't receive messages posted to the list; the membership-management page shows these users as subscribed normally. Any advice? Many thanks, Mary

List Storage
by gzbigegg Feb. 1, 2000

Feb. 1, 2000

hi All, I have some questions about mail storage: 1) Can I store the subscribers information into some DB servers, such as MySQL or ORACLE? I think now this data is stored in the DBM. What files should I change for this purpose? 2) Can I store the archieves into the DB servers? I really don't know the storage method of archieves. 3) Where is the source codes of executables under the directory 'mailman/cgi-bin'? Thanks & Have a nice day! Liu Yan

Problem with crontab jobs
by Mohamed LRHAZI Feb. 1, 2000

Feb. 1, 2000

Hello there, I just joind in... and my first problem is that the cron jobs seem to all fail...; I disabled the most frequent of them, and unuseful for me... the one I kept is : # Every 1/2 hour flush the outgoing mail queue. 12,42 * * * * /usr/local/bin/python /export/home/mailman/cron/run_queue If I run it as user mailman, it says : $ /usr/local/bin/python /export/home/mailman/cron/run_queue Traceback (innermost last): File "/export/home/mailman/cron/run_queue", line 46, in ? main() File "/export/home/mailman/cron/run_queue", line 39, in main lockfile.lock() File "/export/home/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 186, in lock os.link(self.__lockfile, self.__tmpfname) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory $ id uid=107(mailman) gid=1(other) To solve this, I did what might be stupid, by accident actually :) chown -R mailman:mailman ~mailman instead of ~mailman/cron now, my initial problem seems to have gone away, since i can run all those jobs without them complaining... my question is, did I screw up anything by that recursive chown on all of mailman dir, and that's the directory where I actually installed mailman !! Thanx alot.

QMAIL with MailMan
by Speedy Feb. 1, 2000

Feb. 1, 2000

Hey all. Even if I manage to get mailman working with qmail, all the scripts that you use to add new mailing lists and such will not work anymore will they? seeing as they're configured to work with sendmail, it would modify the sendmail config files rather than the qmail files, right? TIA, Gonz.

NO BOUNCED MESSAGES..
by hema Feb. 1, 2000

Feb. 1, 2000

Hi all, I had written this earlier too. But didn't receive any reply. I had deliberately entered wrong email addresses in my mailing list except for mine (as an administrator) to check if I am intimated of any bounced messages. After several postings to the list I still have not received any messages as an administrator. I have tried changing various options but nothing seems to work. Please help... Thanks Regards Hema

Setting up umbrella lists??
by Scott Kinnane-Systems Support Engineer PGS SPS Perth Feb. 1, 2000

Feb. 1, 2000

Hi all, Just trying to do something simple - set up an umbrella list. There is an option umbrella_list which needs to be set AFAIK to make it an umbrella list. Is this in the web interface under Mailman 1.0 somewhere, or is it only available for 1.1?? Any problems associated with umbrella lists?? scott
