Reply-to address is missing hostname.
by Eric Zuck 28 Feb '02

28 Feb '02

I am currently using mailman version 2.01. I am set up on a Linux box (Redhat 7.0): say foobar in domain mydomain.com Everything is woking pretty much OK. I can post by sending to list(a)foobar.mydomain.com The problem is that when I do a reply (replis are configured as to 'this list'), the reply goes to: list(a)mydomain.com When I want them to go to list(a)foobar.mydomain.com I can get around this by setting an explicit return-to address, but this doesn't work for the -owner etc. lists. Is there something dimple that I can do? Something I've overlooked? Some documentation I haven't read? (If RTFM, which manual?) Thanks, -Eric Zuck

Re: [Mailman-Users] I Suppose that MailMan doesn't work with IPLANET/NETSCAPE Messaging?

Serigo, NMS and iMS are _not_ the same product. I hate what we (I work for Sun) did with the branding. Most products we simply rebranded iPlanet but when it comes to mail that really is not fair and it could be the same thing for other products as well. iMS is the best components of 3 products, PMDF (MTA), SIMS (Domain Hosting), and NMS (store,pop,imap,webmail). Note that SIMS gets its MTA from PMDF as well. >From the other posts that I've read you are using NMS 4.15. If your software license premits it upgrade to iMS as fast as you can. (iMS 5.2 may have just RTM'd today.) I've done such upgrades not hard to do. The learning curve is the MTA. While I run mailman here at home, due to local issues, it runs on a different machine than iMS. Mailman uses the local MTA (sendmail) which then forwards everything off to iMS for delivery. Eventually I'll migrate the mailman installation I have running over to be all iMS. Majordomo and Mailman have similar interfaces with the MTA (wrapper) and since I know that Majordomo has been done with PMDF, I'm willing to bet that Mailman can be integrated with iMS. As for NMS, I am blissfully ignorant about most parts of it. I know many us in Sun can not wait until that product is EOL'd.

reverse-chronological order
by Kirez Korgan 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

I would expect this is a very standard concern that people have: by default, all my archives are in chronological order -- which is patently stupid. This means that new messages accumulate toward the bottom, so on a high-volume list, you must scroll down the page to see the newest message. My question is: how can I change my archives to reverse-chronological order? I was surprised that there was no toggle for this in the admindb. cheers, Kirez

wildcards in members accepted for posting
by Jonas Meurer 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

Hello, Is it possible to set wildcards in the field 'Addresses of members accepted for postings to this list without implicit approval requirement' in Privacy Options? Like every addr from domain xyz.com is allowed to post without approval requirement. If yes, how? *(a)xyz.com or xyz.com Thanks Jonas -- Du willst einen Windows-PC als Gateway für ein NetBSD-System benutzen?

byte-compiling mm_cfg.py?
by Charles Sebold 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

Should mm_cfg.py be byte-compiled? I would think not, unless one were prepared to recompile it every time mm_cfg.py is changed. Is that correct? (Debian's default install allows one to recompile changed Python source by running "dpkg-reconfigure mailman", and it will automatically generate a .pyc of your mm_cfg file; when I realized that, I wondered if perhaps some of my old options were being propagated in place of newer ones.) -- Charles Sebold 14th of Adar, 5762 LCMS - Office of Information Systems http://unix.ois.org/ *** Opinions expressed herein are not necessarily *** *** those of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod ***

Odd Issues after install.
by Flint Heart 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

I seem to be encountering a VERY odd issue with mailman. My system is a bit odd to start with. Its running debian stable with the 2.4 series kernel and reiserfs fs. Trying to log in as a user on the web causes a listing of allot of the contents of /dev/ . seems like several of the web interface pages work in this fashion.. I can admin things properly but users just have no luck and I don't like the idea of a script dumping a listing of the contents of my /dev/ Has anyone seen anything similar or have any suggestions for me to try. Thanks, N-Tropy
