changing the administrative password problem
by Chadd Hudson July 2, 2002

July 2, 2002

My mailman setup is great except that I cannot seem to change the admin password. I go to the web interface and try to change the password and everything looks fine. Except....now I have two admin passwords! I still have the old one as well as the new one. I'm no python guru so I'm hoping someone can tell me where the password file for mailman is kept and I can manually edit it w/ vi. Any ideas or direction is greatly appreciated. Chadd

Wrong domain in 2.1b2
by bronto July 2, 2002

July 2, 2002

I have mailman 2.1 beta 2 up and running on my web server. Most everything is working well, AFAIK. One strange thing though; I have several virtual domains setup, each with some of their own lists. When I want to view the archives, the domain used in the url to access the archives are all the 'main' domain of the server, not the domain the list belongs to. All of the other urls for a particular list stick to the correct domain. Only the archives poin to the main one. Is there a way … [View More]

One more try......

I could really use some help. Can someone help me (or point me to) with directions on how to use the patch updates on solaris. So I don't have to do the complete install. I looked through the archives and FAQ's but couldn't find anything (what did I miss). TIA Con Wieland UC Irvine

multiple installations
by Peter Vibert July 2, 2002

July 2, 2002

Hi, How do I install Mailman in multiple places, and still be able to configure through the web interface? I tried doing a regular install into a user's home directory, but the config interface tries to go to http://host/mailman/whatever. I am using Mailman 2.0.11, on Apache 1.3. Thanks very much, Peter Vibert

problems with Approved: header (fwd)
by Tom Ryan July 2, 2002

July 2, 2002

Ok, digging through the source, I found out that this only works when you respond to the approval msg with the confirm # in the subject. There does not appear to be a way to actually just include the approved line in the original msg.

Turn off password reminders!
by Mark Toomey July 2, 2002

July 2, 2002

Hey folks, I've just migrated 20 or so lists from Mercury on Netware to Mailman on Linux. Most things went nominally, but I want to turn off the password reminders for all of my users. I've done what I thought would do so in the Admin page under "Send monthly password reminders or no? Overrides the previous option. " by setting it to 'no' but now the subscribers to the list are getting slammed with password reminders, (which, they have no idea what they mean, having come from a list server … [View More]

problems with Approved: header
by Tom Ryan July 2, 2002

I too have been trying to get the Approved function working under Mailman 2.1b2. If i send a message to listname@hostname and put as the very first line Approved: listpassword it does not work. instead the message waits for moderation. Ideas?

More on ... query about e-mail 'subscribe' commands
by Frederick Noronha July 2, 2002

July 2, 2002

I just realised what went wrong. Sorry for framing my earlier query inadequately.... Apparently, once the moderator sends in the 'subscribe' command via e-mail, it is up to the address-owner to accept (or do nothing about the subscription). Without the address-owner accepting, he/she doesn't get added to the list. Shouldn't Mailman allow the owner to decide that *he* wants someone to be compulsorily added on? This option is available in the web-interface version, but I get a chance to log-… [View More]
