more header munging
by Gregory Leblanc 04 Apr '00

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

Re: Running Mailman on a separate port from sendmail, etc.
by Annette Strupp-Adams 04 Apr '00

Configuration: Mailman 1.1 Solaris 2.7, Ultra Sparc Enterprise Python 1.5.2 Is there a way to configure Mailman so that it uses a separate port from sendmail ? Example: I configure sendmail to only use the foll. 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 name and address, etc. besides their login name ? > Does Mailman show the full name and address of users, besides their login > name ? It just shows the address. -- Ralf Hildebrandt <R.Hildebrandt(a)tu-bs.de> www.stahl.bau.tu-bs.de/~hildeb Unix IS user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are. ------------- End Forwarded Message ------------- Thank you, Annette Strupp-Adams Senior Systems Analyst astrupp(a)nlm.nih.gov National Library of Medicine -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: 7GyS0hhwaZyVo10FWvHGsCwjmtZ5KQHN iQCVAwUBOOigtUnh/jPvZzKNAQEpygP/XgLn3NZmH+54BXUM+8rg9qgQcJhOpCJv 4Bk5QRygEfA/RFehTDIRfoQZFa6WThyoV4Iy+okIcRM+RoKqki4bXfvXOFN/f9+d 5epR2uKy0LIXLp04yNjpTRzam6yBE02DgeCY18MzZvJZxc9QPWa6kjoPDLfWxBmx e53kVqBy01M= =a5sB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

by Alexey Jirnoff 04 Apr '00

Hi all! I have mailman v2.0beta1 on FreeBSD v3.4 (sendmail 8.9.3). I support maillist about 300 users on it. Posts to this list is approved by me. With mailman v1.x i have no troubles. But when i upgraded to 2.0beta1, i can't approve messges to list. After some times when i press _approve_ button in web browser i get messge _The documents contained no data_. In sendmail log i see _lost input channel from mymailmanserver_ message. Does anybody know anything about this problem? -- Best regards, Alexey Jirnoff, CCNA

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

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 03 Apr '00

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 03 Apr '00

03 Apr '00

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
