Problems with Mailman (and QMail?)
by Stephan Berndts July 5, 2000

July 5, 2000

Hi! We run Mailman 2.0beta3 and QMail 1.03 The problem is that mails going outside the local network are sent in a new message which quotes the full header of the original message. The sender is <list>-admin, the subject is empty. Here is an example: --- Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2000 17:48:05 +0200 (MEST) From: test1-admin(a)lists.spline.inf.fu-berlin.de Apparently-To: <berndts(a)zedat.fu-berlin.de> Delivered-To: test1(a)lists.spline.de >>From stb(a)spline.inf.fu-berlin.de Wed … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mergin lists

scottrus(a)raleigh.ibm.com said: > my first though is to use formail to some how merge the two mbox > archives then have pipermail rebuild the archive. Keep the archive mboxes separate, but then run arch on each of the mbox sets - the individual article numbering will be odd, but the indexes will be correctly sorted.

address changes
by Mark Roedel July 5, 2000

July 5, 2000

I've gotten a number of messages from my list members recently -- I guess summer is the season for moving -- asking how they can change their subscription address. Currently, of course, I tell them that they need to unsubscribe their old address and then open a new subscription from their new address. However, I can certainly see where someone who wasn't thinking in terms of what happens behind the scenes might not find that intuitive. So... Is my best option to simply add some instructive … [View More]

Fixing Mailman after Upgrading Linux
by Dovey J, Mr July 5, 2000

July 5, 2000

Hi, I was running Red Hat 6.0 and Mailman(beta3) quite happily until I decided to upgrade to 6.2. The upgrade ran smoothly, but of course once I had the system up, my lists did not want to work at all.. The first problem that I discovered was that Python 1.5 had been installed and 1.6 was not being referenced. That I fixed by renaming the /usr/bin/python file to python.old and sym-linking thee /usr/local/python to /usr/bin/python .. That seemed to fix that problem.. The next problem was … [View More]

b3 password reminder wierdness?
by Matthew Frost July 5, 2000

July 5, 2000

I've come across some wierdness with beta3 and the monthly password reminders. It seems the SMTP envelopes and some of the headers don't relate to the list or lists that subscribers are being reminded about... e.g. at home, I have a list called "sandpit" which this month's password reminders have _all_ got as their SMTP envelopes, even people who aren't on that list got the List-Id: set as that list's details... Should this be the case? Regards, Matthew -- Matthew Frost … [View More]
