Mailing list password lost
by Antoine Bouthors Sept. 24, 2001

Sept. 24, 2001

Hi, I'm the manager of the orion3d-dev(a)lists.sourceforge.net list, and I forgot its password, so no one can modify its parameters or validate admin requests. Is there a way to retrieve it somewhere ? I found nothing about it in the Mailman doc. Thank you for your help and your great lists, Antoine Bouthors

Umbrella_List Option?
by Jeffrey M. Kenton Sept. 24, 2001

Sept. 24, 2001

I am trying to use Mailman 2.0.6 to set up some email lists, but the general options page refers to a setting called Umbrella_list. I don't see any other references to an umbrella_list except where it says: Suffix for use when this list is an umbrella for other lists, according to setting of previous "umbrella_list" setting. Where do I need to tell this list that it is an umbrella list for other lists? Barring this, how can I set this list to accept messages sent from other mailman … [View More]

I'm having a problem here when any user tries to subscribe to a list via the web. When adding them from command line, it works fine. This is the dump I get to the mailman error log. Ideas?

Sept. 22, 2001

I am changing hosting services and am converting a couple of email lists from majordomo to mailman. I currently use the regexps listed below in the taboo headers/body section of the majordomo config file. Can someone tell me the correct way to translate these for use in the mailman Privacy - Bounce matching headers section? Also, is there a way other than putting them in a password protected directory to make the html pages for the lists inaccessible. Thanks for your help, Cathy /password/ /… [View More]

privacy problems with web interface
by Federico Grau Sept. 22, 2001

Sept. 22, 2001

Hello: We're running a 16K member mailing list on version 1.1 and running into a significant privacy issue regarding membership management. As distributed, Mailman makes it trivial to discover if a given address is in fact a subscriber. If you suspect dev(a)null.com has joined a list, go to the user page and enter his address to subscribe; you'll get back a revealing reply 'You already belong, dummy'.. We initially yanked large chunks of html from the general list information page, but that … [View More]

Hi, I am experiencing some problems with the mailman wrapper. Actually I believe it's a sendmail problem but I thought that maybe some of you had had similar problems and could therefore guide me. . .
