Read-only announcement list
by Griff Wigley May 27, 2000

May 27, 2000

I'm having trouble setting my list to read-only announcements. I found previous discussion about this in the March archives but I still have questions. 1. I've set the "Posting restricted to list members" option to "No" and then provided a list of approved email addresses for posting. But the list's web page still tells people how to post. It displays: Using NCO-News To post a message to all the list members, send email to nco-news(a)nco.northfield.mn.us. I'm trying to get it to … [View More]

Member adress in instead of the list adress
by Markus Keller OrcaSoft May 27, 2000

May 27, 2000

Hi List I'm using Mailman V 1.1 and it is a fine programm. Now I have a little problem with the adress of the members in a list. If I send a message to the list, the members can only see the adress of the list in the head of the message (to: listname(a)domain.com). Certain members have more than one adress and now they can't unsubscribe because they don't know the right adress. Is there a way to replace the adress of the list with the adress of the recipient or - if not - can I add the adress … [View More]

nomail.py: print users with 'nomail' option set
by Dan Mick May 27, 2000

May 27, 2000

Here's a little Python fragment to be used with bin/withlist. It shows all members whose "nomail" flag is turned on (so, perhaps, you can send a reminder email that they've been disabled). Use with "python -i bin/withlist -r nomail.nomail <listname>". Anyone who cares to mention why there are some users mentioned in members[] or digest_members[] who are *not* present in user_options[], I'd be happy to hear about it (that's why the try/except stuff is necessary). I put this in my ~… [View More]

Mailman page option (post)
by Great Guggly Muggly May 26, 2000

May 26, 2000

To whom it may concern, I've looked all through admin options for a particular list group I created. When I view the page I notice the threads do not have an option such as [post] tag that makes it easy to respond to a particular message/s. How do you turn this on? or How do you add this option?

subscription confirmation problem
by Christopher Adams May 26, 2000

May 26, 2000

I have set up my first list. I have gotten to the point where I am asked for confirmation to subscribe. When I simply reply to the message, or send a new message to listname-request, I get the following error. <mailman_test-request(a)sparkie.osl.state.or.us>: Command died with status 2: "/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd mailman_test" Please advise. Thank you. -- Christopher Adams Oregon State Library 503.378.4246 chris(a)opac.osl.state.or.us

listinfo is slow
by David Champion May 26, 2000

May 26, 2000

While I'm on the horn: at what version does listinfo become usable for large sites? It takes minutes to list all my lists. This has been reported before, and fixes were discussed, but I'm not sure whether they've been done, or whether they will soon, or what. Thanks. -- -D. dgc(a)uchicago.edu NSIT University of Chicago

RE: [Mailman-Users] ListServe/Majordomo/MailMan
by Herman Knief May 26, 2000

May 26, 2000

>From what I've seen with Majordomo and Mailman (and I run a pretty big list) - Mailman is about 30% more efficient than Majordomo. I have no direct experience with ListServ. I can tell you that I recently had to split my list into pieces and create an umbrella list. That has reduced the overall load substantially (although it does make management a little more difficult.) The biggest change in performance that I was able to achieve had nothing to do with the list manager, but the MTA. … [View More]

wrapper error
by Christoph Krempe May 26, 2000

May 26, 2000

I just installed mailman together with exim as MTA under Linux, configuring mm as described in www.exim.org/howto/mailman.html exim is running under uid=exim, gid=exim, mailman is configured with MAILMAN_UID=exim, MAILMAN_GID=exim in the exim configuration. When I post to a new list created with ./newlist I get the error message Date: Fri, 26 May 2000 15:59:47 +0200 From: Mail Delivery System <Mailer-Daemon(a)hal.ub.fu-berlin.de> Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to … [View More]sender Sender: Mail Delivery System <Mailer-Daemon(a)hal.ub.fu-berlin.de> To: ck(a)ub.fu-berlin.de Reply-To: Mail Delivery System <Mailer-Daemon(a)hal.ub.fu-berlin.de> Message-ID: <E12vKeR-0007xY-00(a)hal.ub.fu-berlin.de> This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
