Hello I was wondering how many subscribers can this program handle? Do you know anyone with a big list. I have 61,000 and was wondering if it can handle it without timing out and how long would it take to send it out? James

Everithing loks fine, but it just won't work
by Kelemen Zoltan Feb. 2, 2002

Feb. 2, 2002

I just installed mailman 2.0.8 , configured it properly (well at least I think so :) ), and even created my very first test-list. I've got the mail, confirming it was created, added the aliases to the alias file and everything but when I wanted to check out the web interface it wasn't working. It ain't working in the sense that it soesn't accepts any new subscriptions, it doesn't accept any kind of password (neither admin nor site)... otherwise, I can see the list, it's there, it has been created, I "just" can't access it. Take a look at it youselves: http://www.kmdsz.ro/mailman/admin or http://www.kmdsz.ro/mailman/listinfo the admin password for list "teszt" is "teszt". HELP! thnx, zOLtaN

hrm, simple question but did you verify that you are subscribed to the list? What does maillog say on your smtp server?

mysterious bounce
by Mark Fyffe Feb. 1, 2002

Feb. 1, 2002

Hello: I'm attempting to set up mailman 2.0.8: Solaris 8 Python 2.1.2 Qmail 1.03 I send a message to a list "developers". Everything seems fine, the message is received by mailman, gets archived. There no errors dumped to syslog or to $prefix/logs/error, nor are any messages reported by qmail after the message has been delivered to mailman. The message is not sent back out to the members of the list, and the following appears in the "bounce" log file: Feb 01 14:18:02 2002 (26342) Developers: mark(a)accessidaho.org - 1 more allowed over 430138 secs Other than this, there is no evidence of the bounce, or even of mailman trying to send the mail. Since I get the list owner's info message when creating the list, I'm convinced that mailman knows how to send mail, but it doesn't appear to by trying to distribute the message to the list. The only other log messages to appear anywhere, including syslog, after mailman has received the mail are: logs/smtp: Feb 01 14:18:02 2002 (26342) smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.257 seconds logs/post: Feb 01 14:18:02 2002 (26342) post to developers from mark(a)accessidaho.org, size=366, 1 failures Blah :-) Any help? bucky

List categories
by Gauthier Nicolas Feb. 1, 2002

Feb. 1, 2002

Hi, after having searched a bit in the Python archives and in Mailman Whishlist of mailman software, I post a question here: I use mailman since about 3 days (!!), and I realise that we're going to need list categories. Is it possible to do this, may be using another software ? Thanks very much for any pointer on that topic, N. Gauthier. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Nicolas GAUTHIER Tel.: 05 61 27 47 25 > ALCATEL CIT > DEE/IR/ISM/AS Bpi 1311 Fax : 05 61 28 26 03 > CNES 18, Av.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Icons aren't showing
by Jarkko Laine Feb. 1, 2002

Feb. 1, 2002

Thanks for your help, Erik, but it didn't help for me. Instead I found out that there is an icons directory in /var/www, which isn't even under the html-root. Still Apache thinks that /icons/ directory under the web root means that directory. And this though I explicitely made an alias /icons/ to the /home/mailman/icons. So I changed the alias and IMAGE_LOGOS to /mm_icons/ and it started working immediately. Conclusion: Don't use the default /icons/ alias for logos, if you're using Apache. It seems to be working for the most, but not for everybody, including me. -jarkko- At 13:38 1.2.2002 +0100, you wrote: >On Fri, 2002-02-01 at 11:01, Jarkko Laine wrote: > > > I can't get the footer images showing, there's just empty boxes instead of > > them. > > > > The mm_cfg.py looks like this: > > # Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line. > > IMAGE_LOGOS = '/icons/' > >Hi again, maybe I can return the favour now. >I have found that it needed the full URL (including http://etc.) >to work.
