mailman/openbsd/postfix problems
by Brian Cohen June 2, 2000

June 2, 2000

I'm running Mailman 2.0beta on OpenBSD 2.6. My MTA is postfix. The box handles virtual domains. I set up a list, let's call it "foo" and then added the following line to /etc/postfix/virtual : foo(a)domain.com foo(a)sandworm.intercarve.net (obviously domain.com is not my real domain <grin>) The lines in /etc/aliases are exactly as $prefix/bin/newlist outputs them. I ran "postalias /etc/aliases" and then "postfix reload". No matter what, if I try to send mail to foo(a)domain.com I get … [View More]

Q. finding users passwords and Administrivia filter
by John Castillo June 1, 2000

June 1, 2000

dear list: i'm currently evaluating Mailman to support large announce style lists. looks nice. unfortunately, the unsub process seems to REQUIRE a users password which in my opinion is limiting. i've scoured through the mailing list and found others with a similar problem. the only workaround i thought i could come up with was a post by Dan Mick... "You can look up the password from the Python database with a small modification to bin/withlist; if you need me to dig out my hack to do that,… [View More]

Approving only via Web?
by Luca Maranzano June 1, 2000

June 1, 2000

Hello, I'm trying Mailman 2.0beta2 on SunOS 5.5.1 and it seems to work well, we intend to migrate some smartlist based mailing list to Mailman :-) I've a question about moderation: is it possible to approve or reject or discard a message simply by email? We are in the situation where some moderators will have mostly email access for the list administration. I didn't found any reference to this in the documentation. Thanks in advance for any answers. Regards from Italy. Luca -- … [View More]

by Akira Tagata June 1, 2000

June 1, 2000

Hello, I have started to use Mailman v1.1 with exim on Debian GNU/Linux 2.1. On an archived message from our Japanese mail messages must be converted into the Extended Unix Code (EUC) from the ordinary transporting Japanese text (JIS). Indeed I have had some problems to archive my test message in Japanese. So I have tried to insert a filter which convert JIS to EUC before post by the wrapper. And Mailman works fine. One Japanese charater needs two 7 bit code within the special … [View More]
