Too many pending requests?
by Per Starback 07 Jul '03

07 Jul '03

I can't get to the pending request page for a mailing list. (My web clients just say "waiting for response" and finally give up.) I think it is because there are too many pending requests after some problems. (config.db is almost 10MB.) How can I do this some other way?

"True" virtual domains [netaktiv.com #99]
by Stephane Bortzmeyer 16 Sep '02

16 Sep '02

We are an ISP and we have several clients requesting a mailing list. Often, the names collide. No problems with email addresses, we know how to configure Postfix to have info(a)company.com and info(a)npo.org point to different mailboxes. But I cannot do the same with Mailman. Mailing lists are apparently unique, whatever the domain is. So, I must create info-company and info-npo and set a different host_name for each list. Not a big deal except that this name appears in messages sent and info-company(a)company.com is not really elegant. I tried changing real_name. As its documentation said, it is discouraged and, indeed, it does not work (the original name still appears in messages).

Allowing posts with certain topics/blocking all others
by Sarah K. Miller 16 Sep '02

16 Sep '02

I have a list that I'd like to enforce a set of headers on. In other words, each message subject must start with a certain word in order be posted. Has anybody found a way to do this? I know I can block messages with certain headers, but I want to block all messages and only allow those with the approved headers. If anybody has a great idea how to accomplish this, please pass it on ... -- Sarah

Stop monthly password reminders?
by Josh Lothian 12 Aug '02

12 Aug '02

Hi all, Quick question: I've looked through most of the options available to a list admin, and I can't find one to disable the monthly password reminders. I know this sounds like a bad idea, but we have a secretary who maintains quite a few mailing lists for out department, and we'd like to switch her over to mailman. However, we probably don't want students to be able to unsubscribe themselves from certain of our announcement-type mailing lists. Any ideas? Am I missing something simple? Thanks much, Josh Lothian System Administrator University of Tennessee, Department of Computer Science

23 Jun '02

Hi, My mailman list is host through hostway. It seems that some of the peopple subscribed to my list are no longer receiving emails posted by the poster (the owner-myself) but there is no indication on my end that these messages are being bounced back. Any suggestions as to why this may be happening? --Melinda

your software
by Sandra Maynard 06 May '02

06 May '02

dear Mailman, I currently use your Mailman software at work , through my univesity system, and a fabulous system it is indeed. Do you have any equivalent software that would work on the web, but not using the linux operating system? Anything more user friendly for us computer morons?
