Customizing listinfo HTML
by Jim Kutter Sept. 28, 2001

Sept. 28, 2001

Hello folks. I was wondering how to customize the listinfo HTML page to include my site's custom headers and footers - similar to how Apple customized their listinfo page. I can customize a per-list listinfo page, but I would like to modifiy the main listinfo page... Any suggestions on how to do that? -jim Webmaster eBizQ http://www.ebizq.net

Jon: Thanks, this solved the problem. I changed the DEFAULT_URL in my mm_cfg.py file so that the BASE_URL on all my new lists now defaults to this value. I figured it was something simple.

Disaster Recovery - 2 Questions
by Jeffrey M. Kenton Sept. 28, 2001

Sept. 28, 2001

Mailman is an excellent solution for our use here, however, I have two questions regarding two levels of disaster: Loss of List admin password, Server Crash. Maybe my questions are self-explanatory now, but here goes anyway: if the manager of a particular list loses the admin password for that list, how can I, as the site administrator, regenerate one? And, when setting up Mailman there was a small amount of compilation work. To transfer the files from a backup onto another server, do I … [View More]

Is it possible to run these together?
by stormlrd Sept. 28, 2001

Sept. 28, 2001

Hi, Can Mailman-2.0.6 be run in conjunction to an exim setup using http://www.netd.co.za/mysql-mail/ as the configuration? Where do the aliases that are generated by the newlist command go? in the /etc/aliases file or the auth tables in the mysql db? My Mailman is generating a subscription email - but doesn't seem to be getting my reply for confirmation, as i do not get the second email (welcome). Is this fixed by addressing the "other tweaks" section in the Mailman README.EXIM file? Cheers, Paul

mailman failing to use /mailman/alias when calling .cgi scripts
by s.slade.gauntt＠accenture.com Sept. 28, 2001

Sept. 28, 2001

My mailman install fails to use the /mailman/ alias when making calls to cgi scripts. For example: When I click on the mailman admin interface link, it directs me here: http://<mydomain.com>/admin/grnds-user as opposed to http://<mydomain.com>/mailman/admin/grnds-user So, if i put the following in my httpd.conf file, it works fine... ScriptAlias / /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/ as opposed to ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/ However, this … [View More]

DEFAULT_HOSTNAME?
by Eric Pretorious Sept. 28, 2001

Sept. 28, 2001

I've just spent most of an entire evening trying to understand where Mailman (i.e., the scripts that build Mailman - configure & make - and Mailman itself) gets its identity from. I'm attempting to install Mailman on the host charlie. charlie is the web host for pretorious.net and funkymonkeybutt.com. A reverse-DNS lookup of charlie's IP address will return pretorious.net. Mailman will only be accessible via www.funkymonkey.com (once I get it installed and configured correctly). I've tried … [View More]
