OK I had a nearly fully functioning list server with 2.0beta2. The upgrade to 2.0beta6 was prompted by a problem with archiving (it wasn't archiving messages). It was actually sending messages just fine. With 2.0beta6 we have archiving, but messages aren't moving. I've tried sending mail from this box using "pine" and "mail" and it works fine. I'm going to have a bunch of relevant logs posted shortly. -----Original Message----- From: F.

The weird thing is, I didn't have this problem with 2.0beta2. It started when I got the 2.0beta6 installed. -----Original Message----- From: F.

migration from ezmlm
by Paul Southworth Sept. 27, 2000

Sept. 27, 2000

Has anyone taken some notes on converting from qmail/ezmlm to mailman? If so, I'd like to hear from you. My biggest concern is handling the listname-subscribe and listname-unsubscribe addresses so I can avoid having to completely reeducate a large subscriber base. With ezmlm, a user can send an empty message to listname-subscribe to be added to a list, or listname-unsubscribe to be removed. From reading the mailman docs, it seems like this feature is missing. If I assume incorrectly, or if … [View More]

2.0beta6 archive failure

I just did a scratch install and set up my test list.
