NNTP and Message-Ids
by Simen E. Sandberg Nov. 28, 2001

Nov. 28, 2001

First: Sorry for my bad english. I'm not a native english-speaker, so please ignore my mistakes. :o) I'm running some lists with the NNTP-gateway enabled both ways. I've noticed that when mailman posts to the newsgroup, it changes the Message-Id. Or, I guess it's mailman and not INN. This generates problems with threading, since one message got two message ids. An example: test(a)lists.example.com both posts and collects messages from local.test at the news-server news.example.com. John and … [View More]

False, and what not...
by Ashley M. Kirchner Nov. 28, 2001

Nov. 28, 2001

Also in MM 2.0.8: Looking in Defaults.py, there's this section: # Pipermail archives contain the raw email addresses of the posting authors. # Some view this as a goldmine for spam harvesters. Set this to false to # moderately obscure email addresses, but note that this breaks mailto: URLs # in the archives too. ARCHIVER_OBSCURES_EMAILADDRS = 0 The text above says, 'set this to false to moderately obscure email addresses'. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that default setting … [View More]

Default Hostname
by Ashley M. Kirchner Nov. 28, 2001

Nov. 28, 2001

I'm not sure if this is how it's supposed to work, or not, but that's why I'm asking. I just installed MM 2.0.8. Went into $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py and added a DEFAULT_HOST_NAME and DEFAULT_URL. When I pointed my browser to /mailman/admin, the header and body text correctly displayed the DEFAULT_HOST_NAME that I specified, however the email address on the last line, still showed the DEFAULT_HOST_NAME that's specified in Defaults.py (which is different). Is this how it's supposed to … [View More]

Host name sent in email confirmation wrong
by Bill Moseley Nov. 28, 2001

Nov. 28, 2001

I have my lists all setup to use the full name of the host. DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'mardy.hank.org' This is the same host as simply hank.org. I just tried to subscribe to a list, and the confirm mail came like this: Reply-To: test-request(a)hank.org The list settings have not changes (they still say mardy.hank.org). The problem is I have all mail to @hank.org to one address in sendmail's virtusertable, so it needs to go to mardy.hank.org to not get bypassed by my virtusertable entry. … [View More]

question about headers
by Donna Nov. 28, 2001

Nov. 28, 2001

Hi - I am just now learning the details of managing a mailman powered list. I have previously used majordomo and so far mailman seems to have many of the same functions and in fact some much better ones. Here is my question. At the beginning of all messages to a list there are a lot of addresses. For example, on this list all messages have this: >Sender: mailman-users-admin(a)python.org >X-BeenThere: mailman-users(a)python.org >X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.8 (101270) >List-Help: &… [View More]

Problems with Footers
by Albert E. Whale Nov. 28, 2001

Nov. 28, 2001

Has anyone experienced any problems with the Footers for the messages not being displayed? The symptoms are that the defined footer for all mailing lists will disappear, until all admin requests are processed. Is there a lock being held somewhere? -- Albert E.

I have some lists I'am moving from Listproc to Mailman that I've been using Mhonarc to archive and would like to integrate them with the Mailman archives when I move the lists over. Any ideas on how to do this? TIA Con Wieland UC Irvine
