Error in removing From: lines from posted messages?
by Tor Houghton May 8, 2000

May 8, 2000

Hi, I was experimenting with the "remove From: ... bla bla" from posting (for anonymous lists), and found that this works great with Pine, but not so great with Mutt. It seems that Mutt does the following: >From test-admin(a)lollipop.nextra.com Mon May 08 19:46:03 2000 >From th Mon May 8 19:46:04 2000 Envelope-to: th(a)nextra.com While when I sent the email with Pine, the correct behaviour occurred, leaving no username in the header.

installation problem with Linux 2.2.14 and Mailman 2.0beta2
by Brian P. Clifford May 8, 2000

May 8, 2000

I am embarassed to have to ask this question, but have found no usable answer in the docs. I am installing Mailman, have already added the mailman user and group, but when I run the ./configure script, it tells me that no mailman user is found and I should check the INSTALL file. The answer is likely in the fact that I have no idea whether I am running secure_linux and further that if I knew, I couldn't turn off restricted hardlinks. Any help? Thanks, Brian

Lists embedded in aliases
by Tanya Ruttenberg May 8, 2000

May 8, 2000

We have an "emergency" mail alias that forwards mail to 3 mailing lists. When I sent mail to "emergency" I got mail back for each of the three lists that said Your mail to 'Page-system' with the subject goin' for broke. this is a test. Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval. The reason it is being held: Message has implicit destination (Page-system was replaced by the name of whichever list was replying) Obviously this is not … [View More]

Problem with a mailing list
by Peter Good May 8, 2000

May 8, 2000

Hi, I think this may have been covered before, but I am running a list of about 79 members. Every time I turn on Members post only, anyone using a linux system has to get their email approved. Now I've been thru the docs, and done what they say which is add USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER=0 to mm_cfg.py but it hasn't made a bit of difference. Any Hints? Peter -- In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad idea. **********… [View More]

reply address for virtual server
by David Smead May 7, 2000

May 7, 2000

Problem: getting a reply address that gets back to the mailing list. I'm running a webserver behind a firewall, using RH6.2, and Apache. The webserver is in the amplepower.com domain here. I have Mailman running on the webserver, and have specified the default URL to be msgbd.com, which is a domain routed into here and is being virtual hosted on the webserver. What can I put in mm_cfg.py for the default hostname? Sincerely, David Smead http://www.amplepower.com. http://www.ampletech.com.

visibility of public lists
by Phillip Porch May 7, 2000

May 7, 2000

I am running Mailman on the cvs image from today and just noticed a slight problem. (version 2.0beta3) I have several lists defined and 3 of them are publicly-advertised. If I go to: http://www.theporch.com:8080/mailman/listinfo I only see one list as being pubicly-advertised (beer) but If I click on the list-admin overview link, that page correctly shows the 3 publicly-advertised lists. I went to the privacy options page for the lists that are not showing up on the initial page and … [View More]

delete virus from archives?
by Jonathan F. Dill May 5, 2000

May 5, 2000

Hello everybody, Yesterday's e-mail worm got sent to some of our Mailman lists and now it's in the message archives for those lists. Because of the way the archive messages are presented, I don't think you can "get" the virus by checking out the archives, and obviously you would have to be pretty dumb to copy the code from that page, save it to a file, and deliberately make yourself infected, but I still would like to delete it from the message archives. Any hints or suggestions would be … [View More]
