more header munging
by Gregory Leblanc April 4, 2000

April 4, 2000

Hey there! I've got a number of lists, and I'm sure that my setup is pretty common. We've got, for this example, two lists list-announce, and list-discuss. The announcements is a low traffic list for sending announcements, while the discuss list is designed to be a place to hold all discussions. The announce list is moderated, and what I'd like to happen is to have the reply-to: header on the announce list set to the discuss list. Can mailman do this? Can any other MLM? Thanks, Greg

Hello, Just a question, I am running mailman on a redhat 6.1 box with sendmail. The distribution list which we post to has about 50,000 people on it and is getting killed with our weekly mailings. I have heard that FREEBSD with postfix is more efficient any suggestions? Thanks, Jerry Thomas -- Jerry Thomas System And Network Administrator

IP address: <some IP address to the machine on which sendmail runs> That leaves another IP address on the same machine to Mailman: <another IP address to the machine on which both sendmail and Mailman run> Is there a way to configure Mailman to show the users' full … [View More]

Mailman is a mailing-list manager; nothing more, nothing less. If you want a mailing list, Mailman will serve; for anything else, it kinda sucks (as you might expect).

Other Products with Similar Functionality
by Zahavi, Avi, ALSVC April 3, 2000

April 3, 2000

Hi, I looking for an off-the-shelf product that has functionality similar to Mailman. I plan to use the product internally for Project Management (so the thrill of putting it all together is minimal....). We do not have experience w/ Python (no offense meant here), and I would like the product to run on an NT box where our Web server resides, if possible. A Unix machine is OK too (e.g., Solaris). Any pointers, suggestions? Thanks, Avi azahvi(a)att.com

Re: Configure - UID
by Dennis April 3, 2000

I also forgot to include that the configure script is looking for conftest.py (in the subroutine for checking UID) and it is not located with the Python libs or in the install directory.

Configure - UID
by Dennis April 3, 2000

April 3, 2000

Hello List- I am having a problem where the configure script cannot find the mailman user that I setup. I am able to su to the mailman user at the promt signifying that the user does exist, but the configure script keeps telling me that the user mailman does not exist. I have Python 1.5.2 installed and I get the errors with both the install for Mailman-1.1 and Mailman-2.0beta1. Thank you, Dennis
