Virtual Host How-To ???
by Francesca C Smith 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

Hiya, Just wondering if there is a FAQ out there somewhere that describes basic Virtual Host set-up ??? Im thinking you have to install the software for each domain in its own directory ?? Just some ideas on how this is done would be appreciated .. (Not stuff like .configure settings .. That I can handle ) Just the basic steps .. Francesca C Smith Lady Linux Internet Services

publicly advertised lists in v.2.1b1
by Gary Wang 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

I just installed v2.1b1, and I have to say that its support for multi-language lists is excellent! One thing I can't seem to get working is the main /mailman/admin page. It is supposed to list the "publicly available" mailing lists, but I don't know what that means. I haven't found the setting to make a list "public" in the configurations... help...? gary gary c wang ICQ: 4343405

admin's private_roster default vs. subscriber's conceal default
by Erik J. Heels 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

Greetings, My list is set up so that only the administrator can view the list of subscribers. I did this by setting private_roster=2 (List admin only) on the admin's "Privacy Options" page. However, when subscribers login, they see that conceal=0 is the default. I.e. they see under "Conceal yourself from subscriber list?" that "no" is checked. My understanding is that this conceal setting doesn't matter with private_roster=2, but IF private_roster were set to 0 (anyone) or 1 (list members) then the individual subscribers could still override the admin default (with conceal=yes) and prevent their e-mail from being seen. Is there any way to make conceal=yes the default? And is my understanding of the relationship between private_roster and conceal correct? Just want to make sure that my subscribers feel secure about their privacy (by default). Thanks! Regards, Erik -- Law Offices of Erik J.

(HELP) List not logging posts
by Gus 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

I have a server on which I am running two lists. One of the lists logs all the posts to ../mailman/logs/post The other list I am running does not log the posts. Am I missing a configuration parameter somewhere? I created the lists identically. The only difference are that one of the lists is gatewaying to USENET and handles only batches. Any help is appreciated... Regards, Gus

? How to change the Object of the Welcome message ?
by Herve Cassagne 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

Hi folks, I want to change the object of the welcome message (oh, not much, the idea is simply to put it in french since the mail will be sent to French people - who usually do not really like the english language as I do). Has anybody done it before ? Any clue ? Of course I'd like to change te Goodbye message too, but I guess it's pretty much the same. Have a nice week-end (Wonderful spring weather here in Paris :-)) Herve' Cassagne

Mail not getting through, but w/ no error message
by RUSSELL P JONES 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

Ok, so after some help from a few very awesome folks... I reconfigured mailman using the --with-mail-gid=1 the email i was receiving back said that it was looking for gid 6 but was getting gid 1, so I recompiled with that gid. I looked through etc/passwd and the daemon is set as gid 1. I dont know what that means, but I went with it anyway... well, now when I send a message to a listserv, I do not receive an email telling me that the gid is wrong, but the email also does not get through to the members of the listserv. Its as if it just gets stuck somewhere... Any ideas? Any log files I could look at for clues? Everything else is still working great, web stuff still works, it still sends out welcome messages when you add people to groups, etc... If its any help, the mail server is linux based. I am actually operating a web server from a win2k box and the mail server from a separate unix box, the web stuff is administered from the ip of the mailserver. (66.111.67.23/mailman/admin/) With that being said, should i just put myself out of my misery, or are there any ideas? thanks russ

virtual hosting / list name
by Will Yardley 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

so i have a question, which it seems other people may have experienced... is there any way to change the email addresses that mailman sends out to list admins / subscribers? here's an example: i have a domain will.invalid and a mailing list named list. we use a virtual hosting setup, so we actually make the "list-name": list-will.invalid(a)lists.will.invalid even though aliases point: list(a)lists.will.invalid to the actual list post. is there any way to make mailman report the shorter name (without breaking the list)? -- Will Yardley input: william < @ hq . newdream . net . >

Private archives available via Internet
by Nancy Montano 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

It has come to our attention that mailman archives are available via the Internet even though mailman archives are deemed as private for mailing list members viewing only. If you do a search on Google or any other search engine you can find any message that was posted to the mailing list. This is a problem for our private mailing lists. Is there a way to ensure that this is not available? Also how do you get read of messages in the archives? Nancy Montano -- Nancy M.

Make sure your mm_cfg.py has a line like this: SMTPHOST = 'your_hostname.yourdoman' Also, if you can access /var/log/maillog, it will give you more information. Donna
