cron/gate_news problem
by JLG Aug. 28, 2000

Aug. 28, 2000

Greetings! I've been given the task of admining a MLM for my company and I've been happy with Mailman. We've been using it for a few days now,but as of yesterday morning my mailbox has been overrun with messages from cron. The mail lists we have here also get posted to a news group, and the messages began when I misspelt the name of a group, which I have since corrected. I am still receiving the following message though: Mailman.pythonlib.nntplib.NNTPPermanentError: 501 newsgroup

Mailman and Qmail
by Phil Barnett Aug. 28, 2000

Aug. 28, 2000

Well, I finally gave up trying to get Mailman to run under suexec. I installed another copy of Apache just to handle the mailing lists. So far, I have created a test mailing list and it was able to notify me. I went to the admin page and subscribed. I recieved a message in my personal mailbox that I replied to. But, qmail told me that there was no user. To qmail's rcpthosts file, I added: matrixlist.com To qmails virtualdomains file, I added: matrixlist.com:matrixlist-com to the qmail/… [View More]

a feature request
by Tom Musgrove Aug. 28, 2000

Aug. 28, 2000

hi, would it be possible to add the following feature to mailman? feature: multiple addresses for the same mail list- I'd like to be able to send email to the same list from multiple accounts, because I use a different email account based on whether I'm using a computer from home, work, or a public terminal. I only need to read the email from the list once, so preferably just have a default account that it is sent to. Currently, if I want to send email from different accounts, I have to have … [View More]

unsubscribing all or many members
by andrea kapitan Aug. 28, 2000

Aug. 28, 2000

What I can't figure out is how to remove 1,000 members at once or all of the list members. This would be extremely tedious in the GUI and doesn't look like an option in /mailman/bin/remove_members Thanks, -Andrea

programatic editing of list options
by Dale Bewley Aug. 28, 2000

Aug. 28, 2000

I want to create regional lists on a topic for each of the 50 states. I did that with a little wrapper around 'newlist', but now I need to adjust several settings such as description, prefix, etc. I don't know a lick of python but I know perl perdy good. Can I edit 50 lists and bypass the web interface? -- Dale Bewley - Bewley Internet Solutions Inc. http://bewley.net/

Aug. 27, 2000

Hey all... installed RedHat's RPM of Mailman 2.0b5 about a week ago (ya, ya I'm lazy I know HEHE), could have *sworn* that everything was working fine then. But today when I try to go in and approve a rejected post I'm having cookie problems... have also tried to go in to do general admin on the list and see the same problem. I have double checked that cookies are enabled. I'm using Internet Explorer 5.5 (5.50.4134.0600IS) 128 Bit ... have just checked and everything is working ok under an … [View More]

I respond very simply that the it is now rare for spammers to harvest web sites for email addresses due to the fact that is extremely trivial (and quite common) for sites to have traps installed that: a) feed endless numbers of fake addresses to the harvester (eg a CGI with a random address generator) b) present infinite loops of cascading/… [View More]
