Addition of schedules to lists?
by Shane Y. Gibson May 17, 2000

May 17, 2000

Hi, I've got a bunch of users who have requested some new functionality for our MailMan installation. They'd like to have a list, which has a rotating set of members, based on time. Basically, an oncall schedule system, integrated into MailMan. I've never mucked with Python before, so I'm a little unsure where to begin. Would this be something that a filter could achieve? Is there some easy way to turn on/off receipt of email for individual users at certain times? Any help on this would be appreciated. The user base here is pushing to install their own Majordomo list server, as they believe that will solve their problems. v/r Shane -- Shane Y.

Archival problems
by Serge M. Egelman May 17, 2000

May 17, 2000

Hi, I'm running 2.0beta2 and it appears as though all posts that have been approved by a moderator don't appear in the archives. Member posts that go right to the list work fine. Is there a configuration option that I'm just missing or does anyone know about this bug? Also, all of my problems with Mailman came up after upgrading to 2.0beta from 1.1, I've tried both source tarballs and also the CVS, each has its own problems on my system. I think I might just go back to 1.1, what's the easiest way of downgrading without losing any list data? Thanks, serge -- /* Serge Egelman Broadband Network Services "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity." - Lazarus Long */

qmail questions
by Franklin A Hays May 17, 2000

May 17, 2000

Hi! Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere (in which case please point me to it). currently considering switching my mailing lists over to mailman but have some concerns regarding its use with qmail-1.02. Can anyone on the list currently running qmail provide me with some brief information regarding their experiences? EZMLM is my current list manager and have had very few problems with it, but do to my growing subscriber base I am looking for a GUI interface for subscribers so they can handle most of the administration (limited to each user) as possible. running slackware linux 7.0 or 3.6 on intel machines. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. IF this question needs to be posted on another list then please let me know and apologies in advance. /frank

Archiving problem
by rrw＠hydrosphere.com May 17, 2000

May 17, 2000

Hi, I'm trying to archive some old messages to a newly created Mailman list. It seems to process the messages into HTML without any problem but when it is building the index files it generates an "python out of memory" message and terimates. Can anyone suggest a way to break down the processing (using ./arch) into smaller steps that migh require less memory.

Bug when moderating lists
by Serge Egelman May 17, 2000

May 17, 2000

Hi, We've been having numerous problems with mailman since upgrading to 2.0 from 1.0. First we used the tarball and archiving wasn't working on random lists. Now I upgraded to the freshest CVS and archiving works, but now moderating doesn't work. When you go to the admin page to "tend to pending administrative requests", you can reject messages just fine, but when you approve them, you get the following error (and the message doesn't get posted): Bug in Mailman version 2.0beta3 We're sorry, we hit a bug! If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what happened. Thanks!
