First guesses are: -- a poorly configured MTA (especially sendmail) -- a high percentage of bad/slow MXes -- no local cacheing nameserver and a very slow external nameserver -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas. claw(a)kanga.nu He lived as a devil, eh? http://www.kanga.nu/~claw/ Evil is a name of a foeman, as I live.

clean install with RH7.2 and mailman. when I run the check_perms I get an error mailman_grpname = grp.getgrgid(mailman_gid)[0] Type error: illegal argument type for built-in operation. Also, my post log shows a failure from post to test from mailman-owner(a)localhost.localadmin. Any help would be appreciated.

Removing Yahoo ads.
by Feorag NicBhride 31 Oct '01

31 Oct '01

My list has a few people using Yahoo! e-mail addresses. Unfortunately, this adds advertising to both the messages these members sends and, worst of all, puts this advertising into the archive on my site. As I have yet to receive a large cheque from Yahoo!, I would like to excise this advertising before the messages are passed onto the list or put into the archive. Anyone done this? bb Feorag -- feorag at nospam.antipope.org "Bung some barley-sugar in hot water, spice it up with a close relative of cannabis, and ****** allow it to go mouldy. Drink the result."

Are there any foreseeable problems with doing a mass subscription of approximately 7,000 users? Thank you. __________________________________________ Camille Powell, Web Designer cpowell(a)asciences.com

For some bizarre reason their MUA is adding the value of the Sender: header to the distribution list. This is fundamentally wrong as per the definition of the Sender: header. > Also, posts from list have poster's email address, but say > "Sent-By" list-admin@domain, can list be configured so that > "Sent-By" is the poster's email address only? Again, this is an MUA problem. For an equally bizarre reason the MUA is displaying the Sender: header as the "Sent-By:". > Mail client is LotusNotes. Then LotusNotes is broken as described above, which is not s surprise, and needs to be fixed -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas. claw(a)kanga.nu He lived as a devil, eh? http://www.kanga.nu/~claw/ Evil is a name of a foeman, as I live.

Isn't that where I set this feature? Check and correct the value of "Base URL for Mailman web interface" for each list. It is currently set to something other than, "http://www.mysql.org/mailman/". -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas. claw(a)kanga.nu He lived as a devil, eh? http://www.kanga.nu/~claw/ Evil is a name of a foeman, as I live.

Note that you'll have to spec in mm_cfg.py that you don't want message excerpts displayed, but the full messages. Another approach (wot I do) is to directly edit the spool messages in ~/data/held*. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas. claw(a)kanga.nu He lived as a devil, eh? http://www.kanga.nu/~claw/ Evil is a name of a foeman, as I live.
