Can we add email addresses to the database without having to confirm their address? Is there a way to export the addresses? Becca Wilson Spherexx.com, Technology Consultants 918.491.7500 USA 603.288.5573 Fax bwilson(a)spherexx.com Innovation & Expertise

Outlook is itself a very helpful and useful security patch. Outlook successfully identifies and conveniently labels the most glaring and easily exploited security hole on the entire system: itself. Quite useful data I'd say -- one of Microsoft's more successful and straight forward security features. -- 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.

This is currently no possible within Pipermail. It is fairly easy to do via an external archiver ala MHonArc. In fact, I've done precisely this at Kanga.nu: http://www.kanga.nu/archives/ See the list archives here in -users and in -developers for URLs to my RCs and general instructions for how to set it up. -- 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.

Yes, tho that interface does not support the full range of options that the web interface does.

HTML interface still quirky (fwd)
by eric-mailman＠pretorious.net Oct. 2, 2001

Oct. 2, 2001

The reason that I'm so keenly interested in Mailman is its Web-interface. The promise of a customizable Web-interface is what differentitates Mailman from all of the other MLM's. When I discovered last month that the Web-interface wasn't quite so robust (the subscribe script and the the handle_opts script both munge the HTML output.) I was crushed. But then patch-level 1 came out and the world seemed to be a better place (at least from the terminal that I stay chained-to 10 hours a day...) The patch worked - or at least I thought it did. For the first few passes, the HTML looked fine and then - BAM! - it started acting-up again. Now subscribe and handle_opts have gone back to putting "<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY bgcolor="#ffffff"> in front of any custom HTML. I've completely removed the mailman (`/bin/rm -r /opt/mailman-2.0.6-1/*` and `/bin/rm /opt/src/mailman-2.0.6-1/*`), re-unpacked the .orig.tar.gz and re-applyied the patch, re-configured, and re-installed but the problem persists. What is happening? <caricature of Van Gogh's "The Scream" goes _here_> Eric P.
