List recieves, but doesn't send...

Hi people, I just installed Mailman 2.0.6 on Linux Debian. No, not the .deb, I compiled the source myself. No trouble here. When I created a test-list, I got nice messages saying I was list owner and a welcome-message after I registered myself as user. But, when I send mail to the list, I just isn't send... $prefix/logs/smtp en error are both empty, syslog contains lines like: Nov 2 16:34:45 Obelisk postfix/local[906]: 1FBF41E: to=<test(a)mi.hi.fontys.nl>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent ("|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper post test") I get no return message, but the messages aren't sent out. What is wrong here? I use Postfix, btw. I used the mailman.deb before and it worked without trouble. But as I was reinstalling my server, I wanted the newest version. Only this just doesn't seem to work? Any ideas? Kind regards, Tim Stoop

False. Hostnames are explicitly case insensitive. Mailman flattens the strings prior to comparison. Example: https://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/ https://WwW.Kanga.Nu/lists/listinfo/ Both will report the same page. As for the setting: $ fgrep VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/*.py /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py:VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = 1 -- 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.

Disable posting of a specific user

Is there are any way to dislable user posting into a list? I wish to have some users that can read but not posting. It is the same for me that the possible post may be send to the admin to be approved, for this reason I ask: It is possible to moderate the posting of a specific user?

I recently had a problem pop up with sending out digests. Some of my mailing list users receive multiple copies of the same digest. I have not had this problem before now. Does anyone know what causes this? Can I reset something to stop it and then start it back up? Thanks! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I don't understand this discussion. <host>/mailman/listinfo/ is indeed the default "list of known advertised lists". It's constructed on the fly by Mailman and should include every list that 1) matches <host> and 2) is advertised as "public". > ah so. > > understood... > > So.. there's no way, from within mailman, to create a mailman-generated > page which lists all the lists that that installation of mailman is > serving... > > gotcha... > > Thanks, > > J. > > On Fri, 2 Nov 2001, Vania Lolham wrote: > > > How do you advertise your mailing list? > > On your web site? > > To get to the "Welcome" page "listinfo" still people have to > > know about it. > > > > cheers > > ------------ > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Mailman-Users maillist - Mailman-Users(a)python.org > > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users > > > > -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- > Joshua S.
