Did you add the aliases generated by the newlist command to the aliases file? Did you issue a newaliases (or the similar Exim command)? Did you add the cron entries for the Mailman user? -- Enriko Groen, Hosting manager -------------------------------------------------------- netivity bv www.netivity.nl enriko.groen(a)netivity.nl 038 - 850 1000 van nagellstraat 4 8011 eb zwolle --------------------------------------------------------

Scott, don't know how my message came out in HTML code, probably because of Hotmail, so I got out of using Hotmail, so this one should be a little better. Here is what I put in my /etc/aliases file (list name is onemore): onemore: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post onemore" onemore-admin: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner onemore" onemore-request: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd onemore" onemore-owner: onemore-admin When I run $ newaliases , I get the following: /etc/aliases: 46 aliases, longest 47 bytes, 639 bytes total Help any??? Thanks- Marc

Well... the advice is... Mailman isn't really good towards Announce/Newsletter type of lists at this moment. You would still have to discard all messages that people tend to send to the list. > The big hiccup seems to be with the files in the $prefix/templates > directory.

AFAIR it does get fixed in 2.1 -- Enriko Groen, Hosting manager -------------------------------------------------------- netivity bv www.netivity.nl enriko.groen(a)netivity.nl 038 - 850 1000 van nagellstraat 4 8011 eb zwolle --------------------------------------------------------

I think errors should be reported to the development list instead... Be sure that you have the latest Python (recompiled) and then recompile mailman. -- Enriko Groen, Hosting manager -------------------------------------------------------- netivity bv www.netivity.nl enriko.groen(a)netivity.nl 038 - 850 1000 van nagellstraat 4 8011 eb zwolle --------------------------------------------------------

question

Is there a way to only have one password for all lists besides going in and setting the same password for all your lists? Also can you have only one Welcome be sent to you if you sign up for multiple lists? Thanks Cynthia

Who list acquisition
by Henry M. Seamon Aug. 27, 2001

Aug. 27, 2001

We are just setting up a Mailman list serve. I have set the [private_roster (privacy): Who can view subscription list?] to LIST ADMIN only. My email is in the Administrators box, with another person .. the main Administrator. I don't get a return on a WHO. I get a "private list no one gets it" .. or something like that. Just to experiment, I set the option to LIST MEMBERS, then it returns a WHO list. Is MY email address or some other authorization supposed to go someplace else? OR, am I looking in the wrong place to set this option? Thanks HmSeamon

Re: [Mailman-Users] GID again

What I don't understand is.. my cgi's are ran as 'webd w/ gid 48' , and I specified this in the script... so why would I be getting an error? Now that I reloaded MailMan "again" I'm getting an error saying WANTED gid 89, GOT gid 99. (Reconfigure to take 99?) GID 99 = nobody I don't understand, why is it not working, bouncing messages, when I am telling it what GID to run cgi's as ?? Its just not working argghhh!!! Jeff Dan Mick wrote: > Right.
