Where might I find someone to walk me through the set up of the program? I've read all the instructions and read me files, but I'm still lost. I didn't realize it was going to *this* difficult! Thank you for your time. -- Becky

Explicit Reply Address Stuck
by Troy April 26, 2001

April 26, 2001

Hi, After I added an Explicit Reply to Address, I could not delete it out again, and changing the Directed field to "Poster" didn't seem to help either. Is this a bug, does anyone know of a fix or work around? Thanks, Troy This is my first time posting to this list, and hope I'm using the right place to post questions like this

Same password for all lists
by Tanya Brethour April 25, 2001

April 25, 2001

hello. I have set up around 4 mailing lists. In alot of cases, person X is signed up for all 4 lists. (FYI: all subscribers were added during list creation so random passwords were chosen). Now, i was curious if there was anyway (besides forcing the subscriber) to have the same password for all lists. So the email address is associated to only one password no matter the number of lists? Thanks, Tanya

ports used by mailman
by hypnose＠t-online.de April 25, 2001

April 25, 2001

Hi, all. This may sound stupid: the ports used by mailman in tcp/ip traffic should be 25 and 110 (smtp + pop). Are there any other ports used in connection with mailman ? We intend to use mailman in a secure intranet, where only the absolutely necessary ports will be active. So far, it runs perfectly all right. If we shut down rigid - will there be any problems ? (We only allow http, https, pop and smtp.) Any comment will be appreciated gw guenter wessling (hypnose(a)t-online.de)

*Please* correct the GNU links (was Re: erroneous messages from 1ultram-admin@lists.1ultram.com)
by Bradley M. Kuhn April 25, 2001

April 25, 2001

I believe that I have mentioned to the GNU Mailman maintainers before about this issue, but I would like to reiterate it because I haven't heard anything back. The problem is this: Because every Mailman page has a link to the GNU/FSF website at the bottom of each page, people think that GNU or the FSF are somehow affiliated with random sites that happen to run GNU Mailman. This has wasted lots of time of FSF staff, because they often call us and demand we do something. It's wasted time in … [View More]

ACK! Help! "Authentication Failed"
by Bill Bradford April 25, 2001

April 25, 2001

For some reason, starting this morning (because I adminned a list successfully last night), I cant log in to ANY of my lists (www.sunhelp.org/mailman/admin/<listname>) anymore for admin purposes. I know this is affecting all of them, because they all use the same admin password. Running Python 2.1 and latest Mailman release. (2.0.4) Any way as the "mailman" user to reset the admin passwords?

LDAP : a possible link ?
by Philippe Rodriguez April 25, 2001

April 25, 2001

Is it possible to link mailman with a LDAP server ? We already have a database where we can find potential subscribers to our lists (currently sthg about 700 lists). I'd like to allow the owners of list(s) to make subscribe users using this database, avoiding them to have to look at users's address. For example, like Netscape can be linked to a LDAP server - user just put the name, and the LDAP provides the registred email address. Thank's in advance for your answers, Phil.
