Mailman and Mac OS X
by waterknot1＠mac.com Aug. 3, 2001

Aug. 3, 2001

I was able to compile and install 2.0.6 on Mac OS X. I made it all the way through creating a newlist. Recieved email for accessing the list. But, when I try to access the list with IE, I get a 403 Forbidden. Can anyone offer any solutions to this problem? Tim Roberts Waterknot Productions mailto:waterknot1@home.com

How to configure apache to give cgi-bin to run CGI script?
by Scott Mayo Aug. 3, 2001

Aug. 3, 2001

I am new to using linux and need to set up a list serv. I have mandrake 8.0 server, apache and postfix running. I have setup Mailman up to the point where it says to configure your web server to give $prefix/cgi-bin permission to run CGI scripts. Where and how do I do this. Thanks.

web interface not working
by Zack Exley Aug. 3, 2001

Aug. 3, 2001

I just installed Mailman on a bsd server and the web interface seems not to be recognizing cookies and requires me to login every time I try to make changes on any of the screens. None of the changes to settings keep. Cookies are enabled on my browser. I tried enabling all different kinds of cookies and security options on ie. I also made sure that my clock is synchronized with the server clock. Any ideas? Zack Exley

mailman commercial support
by Frank Goossens Aug. 2, 2001

Aug. 2, 2001

i posted to this list a few days ago, but we have not been able to solve our problem (duplicate mails being sent out, from 3 to 1500 mails to subscribers of one of the mailinglists). as our customer is getting quite impatient to hear what caused this and how we'll solve it, we might be interested in commercial mailman-support. do you know of a company with enough expertise, preferably located in europe (or who knows, even in belgium) that can provide this kind of support? kind regards, frank

no attachments
by Chris Mason Aug. 2, 2001

Aug. 2, 2001

We've had so many cases of virus infections spread by our mailing list that we would like to totally ban all email that have attachments of our list. We don't care if it causes some messages to be rejected, the other alternative is to shut the list down entirely. Is there a way to do this with mailman, I can't find anything.

bad lag?
by Drew Krause Aug. 2, 2001

Aug. 2, 2001

Our list is large (about 650 members) and there's quite a lag from posting to receipt -- 90 minutes in some cases. Are there any ways we can tune this? Running with mailman 2.0.6 with sendmail on Redhat 7. All help appreciated! Thanks! Drew Krause
