I would strongly recommend using either Postfix or Qmail. You are going to have to spend some time tuning your MTA and how you handle your mail spools (batter-backed RAM disks … [View More]

Expiring the archives
by Paul Tomblin June 28, 2000

June 28, 2000

Is there any tool I can use to trim out the old stuff from my archives? I have some archives going back 4+ years (brought over from majordomo) and I think I only want to keep a year or two of them. After doing the standard find|xargs rm, is there any tool I can use to remove the now dead links to archive pages that have been deleted? -- Paul Tomblin <ptomblin(a)xcski.com>, not speaking for anybody Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. -- Arthur C.

Extremely High Membership lists
by Neil Cooler June 28, 2000

June 28, 2000

Hi. I was recently given the task of "upgrading" our mailing list software from majorodomo to either lyris or mailman. We currently have at most 15,000 subscribers on about 20 or 30 majordomo lists. After evaluating both lyris and mailman, I have chosen mailman, because it seems to do just about everything that Lyris does, only smarter, and because I'm an open source zealot. This morning I put linux on a Dell Poweredge 2300 Server (dual pentium II 400 processors), and installed mailman and a … [View More]

mass delete tools
by Dan Kappus June 28, 2000

June 28, 2000

I saw a thread in the mailing list archives that I wanted to bring back up. I think that there is a real need for tools that allow ordinary mundane users, say marketing flacks, to add one or one thousand users to a list they administer, and then also be able to delete all of them. More or less, there are people who use mailing lists who are short on clue, and that's part of the point of using a web interface to begin with. The developpers can really make a move on a great feature if they … [View More]

If I wanted to have a box on my webpage where a user would type their email address and hit a submit button. Would MailMan be the best product to manage this user list? -- _________________________________________________________________ Todd LaClair Network Engineer Dream Theater _________________________________________________________________

Browser Authentification
by Jean-Noel.Filippi＠ext.bull.net June 28, 2000

June 28, 2000

I have already seen on the archive some authentification problems with browser IE or NS. But I have not found solution. I can't use the web interface. I made my changes and when i try to submit these, the server asks me again the password and ignore my changes. Help ! I have the problem with IE and Netscape under Linux and NT. I am using Apache in Debian. Thank you Jean-Noel
