migrating and passwords
by Craig Shields March 22, 2000

March 22, 2000

I have migrated a couple of closed lists from Listproc to Mailman and have configured the new mailman lists' archives to be available to only list members. Using the add_members script only imports mail address. How do I create a password for list members to use without having to go back and re-add them one at a time? I used the add_members script to avoid doing that. Can I create a (temporary) password for all list members and let them change it at their next change password reminder? thanks, Craig Shields

No such file or directory when using /admin

March 22, 2000

Having copied a mailman directory (preserving permissions as far as we can see) from one machine to another, when we try to use http://<machine>mailman/admin/<list>, we get: --- Traceback (innermost last): File "/home/mailman/scripts/driver", line 112, in run_main main() File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 65, in main lst = MailList.MailList(list_name) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 62, in __init__ self.Load() File "/home/mailman/… [View More]

confidentiality features

March 22, 2000

Disclaimer: I may just need to RTFM. I'd look at the mailing list archives but they don't appear to be searchable. Please redirect me if these are FAQ's. I've just set up MailMan for a user here who wants to use it for hosting a list for survivors of sexual abuse. So MailMan's return address stripping feature was very attractive. But there are some hitches for us. First of all, in testing it appears that although the "From:" header is stripped, the "X-Sender:" still comes through, as does … [View More]

Mailman not responding to commands
by John Wildgrube March 22, 2000

March 22, 2000

I have just added about 12 new lists to the lists that Mailman already handles for my organization. Since these lists were added, I cannot configure them via my browser. When I hit the submit changes button, I am again asked for a list password - when provided, I am returned to the General List Options page and none of my changes have been made. My browser (IE5) will accept and generate the cookies that mailman needs, but Mailman seems not to be listening. Any help would be … [View More]
