Too many pending requests?
by Per Starback July 7, 2003

July 7, 2003

I can't get to the pending request page for a mailing list. (My web clients just say "waiting for response" and finally give up.) I think it is because there are too many pending requests after some problems. (config.db is almost 10MB.) How can I do this some other way?

I have an idea, lets all spam the spammers. Better yet, rebuild your sendmail to use the blackhole list and get these arses on the black hole list. Rob

Any way users can unsubscribe without a password?
by Mario Pacheco April 2, 2001

April 2, 2001

I would like to put Mailman to use in an organization I'm doing some work for *however* there is too much resistance to the idea of requiring users to provide a password to unsubscribe. Does Mailman have an option to not require a password for the purposes of unsubscribing? Are there any unofficial patches to change the code in Mailman (presumably some Python file) to facilitate this functionality? Thanks, -M

Mailman and CommunigatePro?
by David Herren April 2, 2001

April 2, 2001

Does anyone have any experience using Mailman with CommunigatePro from Stalker Software? CGPro also has some list functionality, but I am already running a number of lists with Mailman that I am loathe to have to move (to say nothing of the fact that the list functionality in CGPro costs money I don't have...) Please copy me directly as I'm a digester... /david -- david herren | In an Internet without doors, shoreham, vt | who needs Windows or Gates?

cron error : gate_news, permission denied
by Murat Balkas April 1, 2001

April 1, 2001

Hi, I get this error almost every minute. If check the permissions I see that config.db of all lists are owned by nobody ( web user ). Is it not okey? Should I chown? Your "cron" job on mail /usr/local/bin/python -S /export/home/mailman//cron/gate_news produced the following output: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/export/home/mailman//cron/gate_news", line 222, in ? main() File "/export/home/mailman//cron/gate_news", line 203, in main process_lists(lock) File "/… [View More]

List Info page showing wrong e-mail address
by Chris Boot April 1, 2001

April 1, 2001

Hi all, I just set up Mailman 2.0.3 on my web server -- very nice stuff! I've set everything up as per the INSTALL file, but when I go to my /mailman/listinfo.cgi page without specifying a list, the list owner e-mail address is not @DEFAULT_HOST_NAME, but at the machine's DNS host name... I'm on a virtual host, so this means a lot to me. None of the other pages are affected, even /mailman/listinfo.cgi/test, which is the list info page for the test list I set up. Any ideas? Did I just … [View More]

Yes. This is an option under privacy options. You can also configure a list so that only a named set of addresses can post to the list, regardless of their … [View More]
