Get to authentication screen, die when page loads
by Stephen R Laniel July 29, 2002

July 29, 2002

Hi folks, This one's bugging me: I just installed mailman yesterday, so there's probably a newbie's explanation for it, but I can't find an answer in the documentation or FAQs. 1) I can load the admin front page: <http://www.laniels.org/mailman/admin/> 2) If I select a particular list that I created (click the lone link in the admin page above), I get prompted for a password, and 3) If I enter the wrong password, I get the "authentication failed" error, but 4) If I enter the right … [View More]

warning email for registered user
by jenny fan July 29, 2002

July 29, 2002

Hi everybody, I am new to the Mailman. Is that possible to send a warning email to a registered user when he trys to register again? This will be very helpful to our central registration form which includes the mailing list service. Because it's very hard to retrieve the confirmation page info for every online service, asking user to check the confirmation email will be a good work around. Thanks for your attention, Jenny __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? … [View More]

Installation/transfer
by Eric Cobb July 29, 2002

July 29, 2002

Hi, I'm trying to transfer an existing mailing list with several groups from one server to another. I'm going from RedHat 7.2 to RedHat 7.3. I have everything transferred over and the lists and groups are there, but whenever anyone tries to post a message, the email gets returned. It doesn't recognize the "mailman-list(a)whatever.com" address. Has anyone ever run into this sort of thing before? I don't want to create new groups, I just need it to recognize the existing list manager email … [View More]

RELEASED Mailman 2.0.13
by barry＠zope.com July 29, 2002

July 29, 2002

I've released Mailman 2.0.13 which fixes some incompatibilties with Python 1.5.2 that crept into Mailman 2.0.12. This also fixes a minor configure incompatibility on Solaris platforms (and possibly others). If you're using Python 1.5.2 with Mailman 2.0.12 you should definitely upgrade. The upgrade is safe if you're using newer Python versions too. See the NEWS file excerpt below. As usual, I've made both full source tarballs and patches available. See http://sourceforge.net/project/… [View More]

Fw: Will Alias Names work for this?
by Sarah K. Miller July 29, 2002

July 29, 2002

Smartest way to fix this is to find the following setting in your mm_cfg.py and set it accordingly: # When true, Mailman will consider user(a)host.domain to be the same address as # user@domain. If set to 0, Mailman will consider user(a)host.domain to be the # same address as user(a)Host.DoMain, but different than user@domain. Usernames # will always be case preserved, and host parts of addresses will all be # lowercased. SMART_ADDRESS_MATCH = 1 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Woodie … [View More]
