Control over monthly reminder?
by Damon Linkous 01 Apr '02

01 Apr '02

My list is on Mailman 2.06 with a virtual host where I only have access to the web admin pages. The only control I see over the monthly reminder function is whether to send it at all. I'd like to be able to edit the message to not include mailing the password. I would just include instructions for retrieving a lost password. Can this be done?

Or do I have to patch manually? The information at source forge and in the patches says you need to apply both of these patches 444879 and then 444884, in that order, to your mailman build directory i.e.: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=444879&group_id=10… http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=444884&group_id=10… and from 444879 you need file: indexing-2.0.6.patch and from 444884 you need file: htdig-2.0.8-0.1.patch Assuming these two files are in the directory above your Mailman build directory then from INSIDE your Mailman build directory type the commands: patch -p1 < ../indexing-2.0.6.patch patch -p1 < ../htdig-2.0.8-0.1.patch Then read the file INSTALL.htdig-mm which the second patch should have installed in your Mailman build directory and goes into a lot of boring detail. After installing the patches you have to run ./configure and make install to get the integration applied to your running Mailman install directory.. >Bye > Jonas

htdig + 2.0.8
by Jonas Meurer 01 Apr '02

01 Apr '02

Hello, I'm running self-compiled mailman-2.0.8. (/home/mailman/mailman-2.0.8). Now I want to install the patch for htdig. but which patch is the right for 2.0.8. And then? Simply copying it to ~/mailman-2.0.8 and type 'patch -p1 patchfile' doesn't make anything. If I look at the patchfile it looks like run one dir over mailman-2.0.8. And there are two src-dirs. mailman-2.0.8-index and mailman-2.0.8-htdig. Isn't there a step-by-step doc what to do? Or do I have to patch manually?

generating HTML archives?
by Chris Spencer 01 Apr '02

01 Apr '02

I have installed and configured mailman on Debian using apache for the web server. I am able to send mail to the list and perform all list management, etc successfully. However, the archives are not being generated at all, though the full body of the messages is available. Any ideas where I should start? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Spencer System and Network Administrator Center for the Application of Information Technologies www.cait.org (309) 298-1804 cspencer(a)cait.org

sendmail log...
by RUSSELL P JONES 01 Apr '02

01 Apr '02

Ive been running into problems with getting the listserve mail through the server. I get no error message in response, but it is not getting through. Currently the program is configured with-mail-gid=1, and that group-id is the daemon id. Sendmail logs show the mail successfully getting forwarded from the alias listserv name to the wrapper, and then later in the log, a slew of error messages saying something like daemon no accepting connections from this server, load-average = 24 something like that... any ideas?

We have created mailing lists through our site at Canaca.com. Everything is working great, but we would like the ability to find a person's email address without having to scroll through the entire list. Is this possible. Thanks.
