archive question
by Thomas Hillson Feb. 26, 2002

Feb. 26, 2002

I am getting archives created under mailman 2.0.8, but none of my mailing lists are setup to create archives. I keep checking to make sure they are not set to archive, and I keep getting archives created. What is happening here, is there a bug where if it was set to create archives the first time it is used is always creates an archive file? -- --Tom /--------------------------------------------------------- | Tom Hillson Computer Services Manager | hillson(a)iastate.edu … [View More]

Feb. 26, 2002

Hi All: I am a member of iMeme.net and we have supercool access to Mailman accounts and I have ssh access to that I can enjoy the access to $/home/mailman/bin etc... Only thing is, I cannot get my archives to work -- ala http://lists.cultureflux.com/mailman/listinfo/cultureflux -- the link, http://lists.cultureflux.com/private/cultureflux/ does not exist.

seeking possible new tool
by Desert Hawk Feb. 26, 2002

Feb. 26, 2002

With all the site admins here, someone must have come up with a script to do this already, so I ask here first (that, and I don't know Python in order to try it myself :) Is there a script equivalent of list_members that one could use to print out the real addresses of all the current list admins? This would make it easier to find out what lists need to be changed when an admin leaves the company and not have to wade through all lists to find that out. Which brings up another question...… [View More]

Mailman Features
by sean＠hdnet.org Feb. 26, 2002

Feb. 26, 2002

Hi I hope this is the right place to ask these questions. If not then please let me know where I should ask. Thanks. I have installed Mailman 2.0.8 and am evaluating it to possible use in place of Lyris. I have some questions about some features that don't appear to be there but they may be in the the next release. The one feature set that seems to be missing is admin commands via email. The most important to me being the moderating via email. Are these in the development version … [View More]

Where do I find the html files that you see when you connect to the list, not the file that mailman offers you to edit so that the appearance of the displayed page can be changed, dramatically. HTH Greg

Transferring Mailman to another box
by Corley Kinnane Feb. 26, 2002

Feb. 26, 2002

Hi, I am trying to transfer a Mailman configuration to another system. Currently I've setup Python 1.5.2 and Mailman 2.08 and checked that the old aliases file delivers mail. Mailman's CGI works fine, subscription to a list works and even sends the "reply to"-to-subscribe email to the potential user. The problem seems to be in the wrapper, mail to a list just disappears. Any Ideas ? , things I should check ? Corley. -- /-----------------------------------\ | Corley Kinnane, … [View More]

How to change a list name
by Kirez Korgan Feb. 25, 2002

Feb. 25, 2002

I know you're not supposed to. But I have to. The question is, can I change a list's name and still preserve all the subscribers' preferences, and painlessly continue to use the original archives? By default, I understand I must simply create a new list and start from scratch. But I'm looking for a way to just change the name, keep the subscribers' options, keep the configuration, keep the archives. Can anyone help me? cheers, Kirez

Config for moderator to edit posts in admindb
by Kirez Korgan Feb. 25, 2002

Feb. 25, 2002

It seems that Mailman makes a copy of a message appear in the admindb, for moderators to process (accept or reject). My moderators want to EDIT the message, however. Is it possible to config Mailman so that they can edit the message through the admindb / viewer? cheers, Kirez
