Digests mess up attachments
by Mark Lohaus Sept. 27, 2002

Sept. 27, 2002

HI, Mailman works great but we are having a problem: When users select digests and some of the email have attachments, the attachments get garbled (you see an ASCII mess with no icons allowing you to open the attachment). Some of the attachment types are Powerpoint, PDF and Word. When digests are not selected then the individual email come though fine. Is there any way to avoid this problem?

Bounce notification after single bounce?
by Genchev, Sergei Sept. 27, 2002

Sept. 27, 2002

Hi, I have a question about invalid mail address notifications: We are creating our mailman lists on the fly from the database of our dealers, based on the type of dealer, their geographical location, etc. These lists only exist for a single mailing, so list admin is never notified when e-mail address bounces. We would really like to identify invalid E-mail addresses in our database. I have tried to set minimum_post_count_before_bounce_action to "0" and "1" to no avail :-( Any … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Base URL Corrupted
by Jon Carnes Sept. 27, 2002

Sept. 27, 2002

Fear not! The next easiest way to fix this is by using ~mailman/bin/config_list: You can dump out the configuration of the list and then edit the Web-base. Next, dump the edit configuration back into the list! ~mailman/bin/config_list -o goober.txt <listname> vi goober.txt web_page_url = "http://bogus address that needs editing" ~mailman/bin/config_list -i goober.txt <listname> === Good Luck - Jon Carnes On Thu, 2002-09-26 at 17:31, Warren Woodward wrote: > On … [View More]

... if you have a list called "test" and you make test(a)youdomain.com subscribe to the list ? The first message posted to the list would make the mail server explode ! :) Gan.

Bug when confirm string is wrong

Recive a bug error message when a user is using a wrong confirm string. Should't mailman just give information that the string is wrong instead of crashing...
