list_members?
by Gregory Leblanc Sept. 6, 2000

Sept. 6, 2000

I just went to see if there was anybody on the lists on my server (it's just gone into production with 2.0beta5 recently), and I'm a bit confused. I ran list_lists, to see the lists, and then ran list_members. Here's what I got: [root@list bin]# ./list_lists 3 matching mailing lists found: Eng223 - British Literature II Eng315 - The World Novel Greg - [no description available] [root@list bin]# ./list_members Eng223 No such list "Eng223" [root@list bin]# Huh? Does it do … [View More]

test list problems
by Kirk R. Wythers Sept. 6, 2000

Sept. 6, 2000

I managed to get mailman installed. Thanks to everyone. Now I'm trying out a test list (I'm set up as "person running the list"), and I get the back the error: ----- Transcript of session follows ----- Mailman error: post got bad listname: evolistmn 554 "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post evolistmn"... unknown mailer error Bellow is output from my /var/log/maillog. I don't see any reference to invalid gid (as suggested in the troubleshooting section of the INSTALL file). Any ideas as to … [View More]where my problems lay? I am also concerned with the message "Mailbox vulnerable", does this mean simply that the permissions are not set properly on /var/spool/mail?

Umbrella list problem
by Richard Barrett Sept. 6, 2000

Sept. 6, 2000

I'm just commissioning Mailman 2.0beta5 and I've got a problem using Umbrella lists. For experimental purposes I've created an list called umbrella whose members are two other Mailman lists called test1 and test2. I've verified that in the General Administrative options for the umbrella list the 'Send password reminders to, eg, "-owner" address instead of directly to user.' option has 'yes' checked and that the value for 'Suffix for use when this list is an umbrella for other lists, … [View More]

Dear list users. I successfully installed mailman 2.0beta5. But my mailling is some strange with other mailling list run by mailman 2.0beta5.

getting mailman to accept local email names
by jmerripen Sept. 6, 2000

Sept. 6, 2000

This may have been answered before, but please bear with: Is there a way to get mailman to accept local mail addresses (i.e. without the @host.com) on the end of them? -- "If a person offends you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick." -Samuel Clemens

initial config problems with qmail
by Tim Pepper Sept. 6, 2000

Sept. 6, 2000

I'm trying to install mailman on RedHat6.2 machine running qmail. I'm actually using the RedHat rpm for 2.0beta5 (mailman-2.0beta5-3.i386.rpm). I've modified the rpm to compile mailman with the cgi-id and cgi-gid set to nobody as that is what my apache install runs as. I've set the mail-gid to qmail. Everything appears okay, but when I create a newlist the test confirmation notice doesn't go out. In logs/post I get: Sep 05 16:49:42 2000 (25702) post to test from mailman-owner(a)foo.com, … [View More]
