2.0.8 HTML Weirdness
by Ashley M. Kirchner Feb. 25, 2002

Feb. 25, 2002

Okay, I'm not going insane, I don't think. However, I just found out a problem with 2.0.8. After editing the subscription page and adding custom <body> tags, I went back and tried subscribing myself again (from a different email), and the html page returned didn't look anything like what I had set. So I glanced at the source only to find this: <HTML> <HEAD> </HEAD> <BODY <BODY bgcolor="#ffffff">  <html> <head><… [View More]

Bounced e-mail/Mystery User
by Michael Mendelson Feb. 25, 2002

Feb. 25, 2002

I've been testing Mailman at my site, and so far I LOVE it. However, I'm working on one or possibly two problems. First, the "MYSTERY USER" One user has signed up but does not receive his confirmation notice. I can send e-mails to him directly at the same address. I have tried this both on the list's "General page" and from the admin console. Second (possibly related) "NOT RECEIVING BOUNCED E-MAIL" As a list administrator I never receive bounced e-mails, even when I sign up a garbage … [View More]

mailman 2.0.8 problems
by Thomas Hillson Feb. 25, 2002

Feb. 25, 2002

I have two problems happening right now with MailMan 2.0.8 The first involves qrunner, what happens is that a list gets locked and no mail will go through it. This is what is shown in the log. The lock is created in the locks directory, the qrunner process is no longer running and the message is not sent. If I delete the lock files and the waiting message files the list works again. Is there someway I can get the messages sent without having to have to user resend them? Can the qrunner … [View More]be started to send out the qfiles?

Any ideas on what is happening here. None of these lists are archived, so I am not sure why it is giving these archive errors. I checked the preferences on them all to make sure of no archiving.
