Mass "un"-subscription
by Camille K. Powell Oct. 31, 2001

Oct. 31, 2001

Is there a way to do a mass unsubscription or would I have to individually unsubscribe each user? Thank you. __________________________________________ Camille Powell, Web Designer Analytical Sciences, Inc. cpowell(a)asciences.com

Regarding configuring Mhonarc with Mailman. Is there a FAQ or instructions on how to configure this. I have a configuration running with the default archive ( pipermail ) but would really like to have the search capabilities on the archive.

You can configure Mailman internally to use MHonArc instead of Pipermail, or yuo can subscribe an archiver address to each list and then use procmail to handle the automation.

Long delay before delivering
by Edwin Ringersma Oct. 31, 2001

Oct. 31, 2001

Check through archives, but didn't find anything like my problem. I'm experiencing long delays between actual delivery to mailman wrapper and the delivery to the mailboxes of the subscribed users. Crontab is installed as suggested. so qrunner every minute, gate_news every 5 minutes. Anybody have a similar experience and hopefully a solution ?

Re: [Mailman-Users] MM 2.1 and RH 7.2

There is no problem -yet-. 2.0.6 is running well, 2.1.x is in beta but it has some new features I'd really like to be using. I installed it [2.1.x] while running 7.1 and has a problem with it not recognizing the new templates. I keep really good backups, and restored 2.0.6. and was back in business as before. I'm looking for input from anyone who has installed (upgraded) 2.0.6 to 2.1x beta **and** did it on RH 7.2 (or roswell 7.1-94) On Wednesday 31 October 2001 09:39 am, you wrote: > Hello, > > Camel - Jay S.

threaded view on archive does not work
by Lucas Hofman Oct. 31, 2001

How does pipermail generated the threaded view. In our installation the threaded view of the testlist is identical to to date view. Something wrong here, but what? -- Regards, Lucas Hofman PGS Research work: +47 67514059 PO Box 354 fax: +47 67526640 N-1326 Lysaker, Norway home: +47 67581373

Mailman 2.0.4 autoreply loop, headers ignored?
by Peter Bootsma Oct. 31, 2001

Oct. 31, 2001

Markus Mohr wrote on Aug 15 about a mail loop undetected by Mailman while the looping messages included : >[..] >X-Autoreply-From: <his mailaddress> >[..] >Precedence: bulk >[..] >X-BeenThere: <mailinglist address> >[..] Markus: "If I understood correctly each of this lines should have stopped mailman from resending his answer to the list!? It didn't though and so created a lot of unwanted mails. :( I couldn't find a trigger in the configuration to change this behaviour." We had two similar mail loops last week on two of our Mailman 2.0.4 lists, both triggered by the same subscriber. The X-Autoreply-From header was absent though, but the Precedence and X-BeenThere headers appeared as reported by Markus. Any insights, or a hint how to prevent more loops of this kind? Thanks!

Mhonarc
by David Pierron Oct. 31, 2001

Oct. 31, 2001

Why are users of Mailman running Mhonarc? Is this because the Mailman archives are not searchable? When you run Mhonarc you can use something like htDig or Gview (is it?) to search the archive ... Why can't these programs search the Mailman archive? And finally ... does anyone know how to create multiple list archives with Mhonarc? (I know this should be a question best placed elsewhere, but I'm a Linux newb and I'm dabbling right now) In fact it was this Mailman list that got me using Postfix rather than Sendmail ... --- Thinking of taking the Microsoft to Linux plunge?
