bouncing not detected?
by Greg Westin Oct. 3, 2002

Oct. 3, 2002

On one of our lists, posters receive bounce messages from some users that apparently don't exist, but Mailman doesn't pick it up. Those e-mail addresses aren't subscribed to the list, so I assume someone is forwarding their e-mail, but I don't know of any way to figure out which user that might be. Any ideas?

Yes, indeed this is the situation I am also in. I have an application, somewhat like SourceForge, where we embed Mailman as the list manager. The user is already logged in to the main application, and we know the user's email address, etc. So, its not very nice to have: (1) separate passwords for each mailing list, and (2) require the user to type in their identity and password for subscription, options editing, and un-subscribe requests. I'm in the process of changing some of the Cgi scripts … [View More]

Can I get messages that I have to approve forwarded to my mail?
by Angel Gabriel Oct. 2, 2002

Oct. 2, 2002

I think the subject says it all. I'd like to get mesages that I need to approve forwarded to me, because it's possible that I may but five or six of them together in one message, and post that out instead. *** Not everyone is touched by an Angel......and those that are, never forget the experience. *** If you want guest list for bare club nights.....http://raw-talent.bounceme.net/mailman/clubnights *** Can you sing, dance, MC, DJ, do you have talent?Send an email to sign-me(a)raw-talent.bounceme.net ***

Problem Approving Messages
by Ken Carson Oct. 2, 2002

Oct. 2, 2002

I have been using mailman for a while now about 1 year or so. I have never had any problems except about 1 week ago. I went to approve some messages on our system (was 2.0.05) and when I clicked on the "Tend to pending administrative requests" link, I get the "Were sorry we hit a bug message". I checked the error logs and I am getting "bad marshal data" errors on the Hold.py and ListAdmin.py. I updated to versio 2.0.13 because I saw some people fixed this problem by doing this, but … [View More]

"Members" vs. "Subscribers"
by Bob Weissman Oct. 2, 2002

Oct. 2, 2002

This is a linguistic subtlety in the English version of Mailman. Maliman refers to list subscribers as "members," for example when rejecting a post from a "non-member" to a "members-only" list. This terminology is confusing in some circumstances. Here's why. I run lists for a professional, non-profit, organization which has dues-paying members. Not all paying members subscribe to all lists, and not all subscribers are paying members. If a dues-paying member has a posting rejected to what … [View More]

Problems trying to make mailman work
by Mariano Liceaga Oct. 2, 2002

Oct. 2, 2002

I downloaded the last version from the list.org site, installed it with no problem, configured the cron job and created a test list. The notification to the owner of the list was correctly sent. The problem is when I try to suscribe or ask for help to the list (sending a mail to test-request@myhost with the subjects 'subscribe' or 'help') never receive a confirmation message or any answer at all. The mailman queue directory is empty, so I guess that mailman is not receiving the mails. … [View More]
