Prob1: How to disble unsubscribe for some users
by Leonardo Boselli March 3, 2001

March 3, 2001

I set up a list, i did a mistake and so after one month all subscriber received their password valid to unsubscribe. Since some user MUST NOT unsubscribe the list, there is a way to "change" the password for them (I have root access to the server) so they cannot use the previous one to unsubscribe ?

ANNOUNCE Mailman 2.0.2 (important privacy patch)
by barry＠digicool.com March 3, 2001

March 3, 2001

I've just uploaded the Mailman 2.0.2 release to SourceForge. This is a bug fix release that also fixes a potential privacy hole, which could allow a list administrator to get access to user passwords. Even with those passwords, I believe there's little additional harm that a list admin could do, but still they probably shouldn't have access to those passwords. There are a few other important fixes in this release, so I recommend that all sites running Mailman 2.0 or 2.0.1 should upgrade. As … [View More]

Cookie problems?
by m.lavy March 3, 2001

March 3, 2001

Hello, I run three separate Mailman servers (all low volume). Yesterday evening I encountered a weird problem with 2 of them: It seemed as if (a) cookies had stopped working or (b) a strange permissions problem occurred because although I could log in to the admindb page for all my lists with no problem, an attempt to approve a vetoed message just returned me to the login screen. Likewise, an attempt to switch between the various admin pages led me straight back to the login, even though … [View More]

by Marcello M. Pavan March 3, 2001

March 3, 2001

Greetings We are considering using Mailman to organize and archive the blizzard of email messages that our group passes amongst one another. We are a subatomic physics group where some of our collaborators are in Europe, the US, etc. I have a couple of quesitons that I could not find the answers to after a half-hour or so on your website: One thing that absolutely we require is the ability to send figure attachments (usually Postscript). Another thing is that we would really like to be … [View More]

I've just set up sendmail to handle virtual domains, all of which appears to be working well. My next project is to get some of my lists moved to different domains on the same server. From recent discussion here, it sounds like the cleanest setup would be to use a completely separate mailman installation for each domain. If I set the install options (--prefix, --with-username, and --with-groupname) properly for each installation, it looks like this should be pretty simple to set up. The … [View More]

how to remove badly formed email address from list
by Rachel Willmer March 3, 2001

March 3, 2001

I've got a user on one of my lists who's subscribed himself with the email address with a form of "myname@home"@isp.co.uk. Of course, this address is completely undeliverable, and every mail out to the list bounces. So I'd like to remove this guy. But I can't figure out how! If I deselect him from the web interface, mailman complains that the user doesn't exist. Same if I try it via the mail interface. I've tried every combination of quotes and escapes I can think of. So any ideas, anyone? Thanks Rachel
