Domain is rewritten
by Fredrik Rambris Sept. 3, 2002

Sept. 3, 2002

Hi! I have installed postfix and tested att local delivery works just fine. Postfix installed from source. Mailinglist delivery also works (the mails get to their destination) but the domain is rewritten. Mailman installed from the RPM supplied by Red Hat in RHL 7.3. I know this may be an MTA issue but I thought that this may be a common error amongst mailman users. The hostname is mail.domain.tld and that is what postfix is configured as myhostname (postfix/main.cf). I've added another A … [View More]

stupid mistake?
by Mailman Sept. 3, 2002

Sept. 3, 2002

Hello, Believe it or not, I am having trouble building mailman. I have done it in the past with a previous version on a different machine. I made a detailed log describing my individual steps. FreeBSD 4.6 Postfix 1.1.11 Mailman 2.0.13 Step 1: Unpacked tar in /root/mailman-2.0.13/ Step 2: Added line in /etc/group/ mailman:*:1002: Step 3: Added line in /etc/passwd mailman:*:1002:1002:GNU Mailman:/home/mailman:/nonexistent Step 4: Added line in /etc/master.passwd mailman:*:1002:1002::0:… [View More]

archive stats
by Waldchen, Erick (VIPTechSprt) Sept. 3, 2002

Sept. 3, 2002

Thank you for the very excellent Mailman. It's been rock-solid for the past 5 months I've been using it. My only wish is for a way to generate statistics on list how the list is being used. (top posters, top subjects, top posting times, etc.) My users really get into the "numbers" thing, if you know what I mean ;) If I was a programmer I would try to write something that parses the archives and would generate an HTML stats page, but I don't have the skills for something like that. Does such … [View More]

add to whishlist?

Sept. 2, 2002

I've been reading the wishlist for 3.0 and I wonder if you'll accept wishes for your wishlist ... Not that I'll wait for your answer ... here they go: Once I'm subscribed to a list I'd like to have email commands like: To request some specific messages: mailinglist-get.123_145(a)domain.com To get an index with subject and author for some messages: mailinglist-index.124_456(a)domain.com To get all messages with the same subject as message 12345: mailinglist-thread.12345(a)domain.com I've … [View More]

Internal Server Error
by marina Sept. 2, 2002

Sept. 2, 2002

I was wondering whether there's any information available on possible reasons for 500 Internal Server Errors, apart from mailman's locks. I have been working on the admin interface of our list this morning, and while I've had no problems with the membership, general options, and bounce options interfaces, I've been getting the above error every time I've tried to update the admindb. If I reload the admindb page after the error, I get the original contents of the file, with no updates … [View More]

Error in *eMail* rejecting a moderation request?
by Johannes Posel Sept. 2, 2002

Sept. 2, 2002

Dear Mailman-users, I'm running Mailman 2.1b3, and it works fine after a few install headaches ;) My MTA is Exim v3.36, and I've set it up according to README.EXIM. Now, a list moderator got an approval request[1] for a message held in the mod queue, which had inside these instructions as well[2]. The subject was "confirm ..." with some sort of code in it. He wanted to try it, but got only an error back: > The results of your email command are provided below. Attached is your > … [View More]

Bounce options
by marina Sept. 2, 2002

Sept. 2, 2002

Another issue I haven't been able to find information on in the archives/FAQ: is it possible to instruct mailman to *reject* some types of messages, without sending them to the admindb queue?
