Mailman Archives and Mime ...
by rama＠kanneganti.com July 25, 2000

Is anybody working on modifying pipermail to unmime the messages intelligently? I know that we can hook up MHonArc instead of pipermail, but I would like to use pipermail itself. I also notice that pipermail is no longer maintained by its author. If there is no hope of updating pipermail with MIME capabilities, I will try to use MHonArc :-(. Does anybody know the current thinking on this subject? --rama

Help with lists that contain lists
by Mike Lagenour July 25, 2000

July 25, 2000

It seems that when someone here emails our staffing list, one of our lists that is a member of the staffing list adds itself to the subject along with the staffing list. Also it adds a footer to the page as well. Is there away of fixing this, what I think is funny there are two other list as members but they don't show up. Also in the from line - the memberlist-admin(a)sdhfj.com on behalf of the sender, shouldn't it just be from the sender and not the admin

can I edit the welcome letter?
by Debi Turner July 25, 2000

July 25, 2000

ok here's the scoop -- I inherited this mailing list (not yet completed) when someone at work left -- I am a COMPLETE AND TOTAL NEWBIE -- and have only been doing html stuff since September'99 -- I have absolutely no programming experience that's just a bit of background so you can either continue reading and hopefully helping -- or you can just skip the rest if you're not so inclined. I've been mucking around with this and we want to start our present mailing list on mailman because it does … [View More]

Installing mailman (v2 beta) without root access
by Alain.Tesio＠actfs.fr July 25, 2000

July 25, 2000

Hello, I read the INSTALL file and it says that a root access is required, especially to create a new user "mailman" I'm using a virtual hosting service so I can't add users. Has anyone successfully installed mailman without adding this user ? Do you think it's feasible ? I can intercept mails to my domain with a .redirect file, a kind of local /etc/aliases, and pipe them with procmail to wrapper, instead of configuring sendmail. Thanks for your time, Alain (please reply to me directly, I'… [View More]

Mail looping!
by Micah Anderson July 25, 2000

July 25, 2000

Ugh, I found out the hard way yesterday what was wrong with my system. It started with a load of 90, which was only achieved by typing uptime and then going get a cup of coffee.... What turned out to be happening is that I had two list owners for a particular list, and both of them were bouncing mail, plus they were subscribed to the list... It seems as if mail owners bounce mail, you are dead. Is there any plans for mailman to be smart about the admin mail too? Micah

Hi all! I just upgraded from beta2 to beta4, but I forgot that I had a list in gateway with a group no more existing.

RE: [Mailman-Users] I am getting my members in my subject line, along with the subject, why?
by Dan Mick July 24, 2000

July 24, 2000

Ah, so when you say "I am getting my members in my subject line", you really mean to say "I'm getting more than one email list name added to my Subject line in [], when I expect only one." I'm not surprised I didn't understand your question!... The code to add [name] to the Subject line doesn't care what's already in the subject line; is it possible that someone forwarded a message with Subject: [group2] testing to mailing list group1, which dutifully added the [group1]? You've provided so … [View More]

What do you mean "members"? "members" + "group1" doesn't make a lot of sense to me. > Subject: [Mailman-Users] I am getting my members in my subject line, along with the subject, why? > > For instance I will get > Subject: [group1] [group2] testing
