Re: [Mailman-Users] New apache is causing my mailman to fail...

Still having troubles... I thought I'd start somewhat from scratch this time. Since mailman is failing with python errors that reference ssl, I've cleared out the ssl directory so that the ssl dir had nothing from a prior version in it. I rebuilt ssl (openssl-0.9.6g), and then, I rebuilt python 2.2.2, so that python, when being built, will only see the fresh openssl. Afterwords, I bring up mailman/listinfo via our web server, and once again received the error in the browser about a bug … [View More]in Mailman 2.08 The logs from mailman this time indicate something different from last time. If you recall, last time, I was receiving: admin(3540): ImportError: ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/python: fatal: /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6: bad ELF flags value: 768 Clearly, ssl looked involved. But, this go around led to different errors, not related to ssl (as far as I can see.) admin(3771): ImportError: ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/python: fatal: /usr/local/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload/_socket.so: bad ELF flags value: 256 Can anyone help out with this?

Question
by Michael Snow Nov. 25, 2002

Nov. 25, 2002

I'm maintaining several email lists using Mailman, but I can't find any way to get a list of subscribers emailed to me. I have the list of subscribers set to be shown to the administrator only, not members, and would like to be able to get the list by email using my admin password. Is there any way to do this? The email Help file doesn't list this as an option specifically. -- _______________________ Michael Snow Snow Creative Services mailto:michael@snowcreative.com http://snowcreative.… [View More]

need to authorize a posting

Nov. 25, 2002

The previous systems administrator for our company is no longer employed here. I am his replacement, and have receive emails stating, "as list administrator, your authorization is requested for the following mailing list posting". My predecessor left no documentation as the password I should use to approve or deny the request, or any way to seek help with the program. How can I get in? Also, I am unable to open a window to edit our mailing lists - including to add my own name! I have a couple … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] How to eliminate footer?
by Marina Markus Nov. 25, 2002

Nov. 25, 2002

Hello Fuzzy, Thank you for your answer - I also paid attention that mail clients other than Pine don't show this "Note" footer, and one of the theories was that this is in fact information contained in headers. However, it only means that I should reformulate my question: is there a way to make Mailman not to add headers like List-Help, List-Post etc. ?

forcing addition of "hostile address"
by Christopher Kolar Nov. 25, 2002

Nov. 25, 2002

Hello. I am trying to add a person to a mail list and having some problems. Their organization runs some sort of bestial mail system where the addresses are of the form: schmoe.j/bhs(a)dns.u99.k12.il.us When I try to drop the address in through the mass subscribe screen I get the following message from Mailman: * Joe Schmoe -- Hostile address (illegal characters) My guess is that the / is getting parsed by Mm as an attempt to reference a file (a la majordomo).

Nov. 24, 2002

Hi all, actually I'm using Mailman 2.1b5. I would like to apply my general CSS file on all Mailman pages to get a unique look and feel like the whole web site. For the list pages I could do it for every page as list administrator from the web interface, but for the general pages how can I do that? You can have a look on the listserver here http://lists.ghks.de (all pages should appear as the starting page. Thanks in advance for any hint / help.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Multiple Servers for a List?

Nov. 24, 2002

This is also now possible with RedHat Advanced Server - using shared storage??? So will it run in a load balanced manner there?? Presumably if it runs on a Tru64 cluster (which we have many of), it will run on a number of servers sharing file systems via NFS?? Thoughts?? Dave. > > > > > Using the LDAP master/slave paradigm.

Hello All, On of list owners at our server demands to totally eliminate all extra information from the list messages.
