Problem accessing list admin interface
by Sean Murphy Sept. 5, 2001

Sept. 5, 2001

Hi, I'm having problems accessing the admin interface for one of my lists. I'm moving lists from my (mailman based) mail system to another mailman system. Both systems run mailman v2.0. I want to copy two particular lists. I had a look at the archives of the mailing list to get some pointers on how to do this (I think this should be in the FAQ). There, somebody suggested simply copying the ~mailman/lists/mylist directory and the appropriate directories from the archives dir. I copied the … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] configurations on submission results page

David, This is a known bug in HTMLFormatter.py, where some of tags are set in the html file (eg subscribe.html) and others are set in the actually Mailman code. It may be fixed in Mailman 2.0.6, will definately be fixed in 2.1. If you do a search through the Mailman-Users archives you should find a number of threads on the topic. Regards Donal --Sysops-- DCU --- original message --- Hello, I'm a bit new to the whole mailman configuration thing and am a bit stumped. I'm trying to configure … [View More]

umbrella list issues
by James Ashton Sept. 4, 2001

Sept. 4, 2001

I'm just automating about 50 lists with mailman and, as far as I can tell from the documentation and archives of this list, there are problems with umbrella lists. Am I correct in assuming that mailman (as of 2.0.5) doesn't treat umbrella lists differently except in the way it addresses reminders to the list owner? If so this would seem to have some major drawbacks: * Duplicate emails to members of multiple sub-lists * Modification of the subject line and addition of footers by … [View More]

Hi. I´m using Mailman with Redhat 7.0, with Qmail and Plesk as general administrating tool. I installed Mailman till the point of create test list. I can subscribe emails to that list, ok.

It needs to have a search function *and* deal gracefully > with attachments. I'm not aware of any that fit that bill. Archiving and search functionality are very distinct functionalities. For archiving I generally recommend MHonArc: http://www.mhonarc.org/ For search indexing I like MnoGoSearch: http://www.mnogosearch.… [View More]

One message in ./qfiles hold up entire show (qrunner)
by Christopher Schulte Sept. 4, 2001

Sept. 4, 2001

I noticed messages were not being processed by mailman to my MTA. With MTA (postfix) and mailman (2.0.6) logs, I narrowed it down to one bounced message from a remote site that caused this error when qrunner tried to run and clear out the mailman queue: Sep 04 15:16:09 2001 qrunner(20389): Traceback (innermost last): Sep 04 15:16:09 2001 qrunner(20389): File "/home/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 282, in ?

Is there any way to teach wrapper to just shut up and accept from most any user? I had it working, then it isn't then it is. If not, what's the best uid/gid to teach it to run as? --Will
