Can't Administer Lists
by Jake Miller Jan. 30, 2001

Jan. 30, 2001

OK, I have mailman almost all the way set up. There are a few problems though. I can't administer the list on the web, and I can't subscribe to any lists. I can view subscribers, and view the list info page, but the admin page just never comes up. I've run check perms and everything is ok. I'm stumped. Jake

Jan. 30, 2001

Sorry if this is a RTFM questions, but I can not find the answer the docs I have. How do you change the password in a list you create and you forgot it. I created a list for a user and he typed in his password for it and not he can not remember it. I need to get create a new password for him. thanks, Tom -- /--------------------------------------------------------- | Tom Hillson Computer Services Manager | hillson(a)iastate.edu College of Agriculture | http://www.ag.iastate.edu Iowa State University | (515) 294-1543 phone B2 Curtiss Hall | (515) 294-1349 fax Ames, IA 50011 >--------------------------------------------------------- |"The only thing I have too much of is too little time" \---------------------------------------------------------

RFCs ... (mailman+mailer) ...
by CJoe Jan. 30, 2001

Jan. 30, 2001

dear all, i was truly happy to get to know of the existence of mailman (and its features) from our sysadmin, a few days ago; it is truly nice to read mailman has most of the features commercial & expensive listserv has ... i have a few questions: (a) does mailman make a copy of the message to each of the recipients (as majordomo does) or does it work in the form of a (listserv) job such as //V22.5y JOB Echo=yes DISTRIBUTE MAIL //TO DD * recipient1(a)xy.domain recipient2(a)xy.domain recipient3(a)xy.domain recipient ... n ...(a)xy.domain /* //DATA DD *,EOF,Res=Disk Date: day month year time From: name of sender, address of sender Subject: subject To: Dear colleagues, ... bla bla blah ... ___ end of message i.e. sending the message with distribution list to a server and "exploding" the contents due to some routing tables arrangement, saving much bandwidth and cpu time, etc. ... The example above is a critical factor for the acceptance of Mailman. In this respect, Majodomo is truly poor (excuse me); (b) also, i would like to know of any "good combination" of a mailer (other than sendmail) and mailman ... and ... (c) if which (if any) linux or bsd distribution is stable for large emailing lists. cheers, canario.joe(a)teleline.es ___

Is there a way I can allow posting from specified domains only to a list? i.e. only people from "purple.com" can post to the 'purple' mailing list. -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- Mathew Walker - mat(a)iphrase.com

Ray, here is my script. #!/bin/sh # output 'listname : owner' for all lists for i in ../lists/*; do this=`basename $i` printf "$this : " config_list -o - $this | egrep '^owner =' | cut -f2 -d"'" done I redirect the output in a file 'owners' for quick reference (and to 'sync_members' a listowners list that I use to announce such things ) Best wishes Georg -- -- Georg Koch (gorg(a)ami1.ukl.uni-freiburg.de) | Phone: +49 761 203 6710 German Cochrane Centre | Fax: +49 761 203 6712 Mail: Institute of Medical Biometry and Medical Informatics Stefan-Meier-Strasse 26, D-79104 Freiburg, Germany ......................................................................

Mailman will send mail to N users using M SMTP transactions (or invocations of sendmail if you have it so configured), where M = N / (some constant).

Jan. 29, 2001

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to export and import users/passwords and archives from one mail list server to another server. I need to be able to tell the original server host administrator what files he needs to export for me to import into the new server host. I am using Mailman with Linux RH 7.0, Apache, and Sendmail. Thank you, elly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ellen J. Cramer Digital Libraries Research Computer Science Cornell University
