Multiple Servers

What should I do with mailman, and it's aliases if I have multiple MX servers for a domain? When the actual mailman server is busy sending out email, incoming mail is/can be redirected to a second (backup) server that isn't as busy. However, that backup doesn't have mailman on it so, uh...nothing happens, it just bounces. Both servers are running sendmail. Any ideas? AMK4 -- H | Hi, I'm currently out of my mind.

Help! Can't turn it off!
by METAgency 24 Feb '01

I have taken mailman off my machine for the moment, but cron is sending me an email every minute with this message: /usr/bin/python: can't open file '/home/mailman/cron/gate_news' Can someone please tell me how to stop the emails? There isn't any crontab, and I'm not finding anything that is causing cron to look for mailman Thanks KD

Changing the welcome email
by Tim Hewitt 24 Feb '01

24 Feb '01

Hi, I am running Mailman for a "notice only" list, where no one is allowed to post to the list except a program that sends out notices. I want people to have to confirm their subscription to the list, and then I want to send them a custom welcome message, _without_ the "To post to this list, send your email to:" message. Is there some way to do that? Thanks, -Tim

Moderator approvement
by Michael Preminger 24 Feb '01

24 Feb '01

HEllo! I have a mailing list, which I wish to have unmoderated for members. Non-members should not be able to send messages. So I go into "privacy options", and answer like this: Must posts be approved by an administrator? (Details) *No Yes Restrict posting privilege to list members?(member_posting_only) No *Yes But still when I, the moderator of the group, being also a member (with the same e-mail adress as my mails entail), the system asks for approval for my mailings. What else should I check? Thanks Michael

Changing mailman hostname?
by John McGarrigle 23 Feb '01

23 Feb '01

Hey, Currently mailman has picked up the default hostname for the box on ./configure (let's say its box1.uk.foo.bar). Basically, I want to know how I can manually set this to, say mail.uk.foo.bar). It's probibally really simple, but y'know... I'm stupid :) Thanks, ---- John 'Neuron' McGarrigle Email: johnm(a)ic5.net ICQ: 18220396 Phone: +44 (0)7944 604 644 ----

Subscribing to Mailman
by Blackbird 23 Feb '01

23 Feb '01

hello. I need some help. Is there a way to subscribe to a mailman list without having to go to the users' page and filling up the subscription online form? I used to use majordomo and interested parties can subscribe via email. I even put a form on a web site where one can fill in their email address, and a script just sends that email address to the mailing list. Would Mailman have a similar feature? Thanks. Blackbird
