Hello list, Is there any way to configure mailman to convert HTML mail to plain text format before delivery? If not, is there any patch available? -- Patrick Hsieh <pahud(a)ezplay.tv> GPG public key http://pahud.net/pubkeys/pahudatezplay.gpg

Opt-In..

In membership management you have the option of mass subscribing users. Is their anyway of hacking this so that it sends out the confirm email instead? If so where would I begin to hack? Cheers John Wards Sportnetwork.net

How to reject all messages from non-list members?
by Akop Pogosian Sept. 26, 2002

Sept. 26, 2002

One of our list managers is asking if it is possible to setup a list so that messages from people who are not subscribed are automatically rejected without having to reject them manually. I looked around and I couldn't find any relevant options in the mailman (we're running 2.0.9). Is there a way to do this in the newer versions? -akop

Base URL Corrupted
by Warren Woodward Sept. 26, 2002

Sept. 26, 2002

(second post, this time with the proper reply-to) Forgive me for bringing up what must be an old and common error, but I'll be damned if I can find any source for help. One of our users managed to change the base URL of his list to an invalid path, and has of course broken everything. The help files say simply that this must be fixed at the server command line by the administrator, but how I do this has utterly slipped past my perception. If someone could point me to an appropriate README … [View More]

Seperate CGI from Mailman
by Hartmut Goebel Sept. 26, 2002

Sept. 26, 2002

Hello, since I don't have a 24-hour connection for my mail-server, I want to put some CGIs on the webserver to give users some frontend for subscribing, etc. Access to the Archive is not necessary (and can't work, I know). So the requests should be filled in a CGI form in the webserver and mailed to the mailserver. Are there already some tools for this purpose? I know there are many :-) But I would prever one tailered to Mailman and perhaps written in Python. Or may I even use the CGIs … [View More]

Perms?
by Dave Magill Sept. 26, 2002

Sept. 26, 2002

Hi, I've run check+perms and it has no complaints, but mailman crashes on every request. I have no idea about python, so can someone point me in the right direction? What is going on here? Regards, Dave.

Sending mail to lists gets stuck
by Reuven M. Lerner Sept. 26, 2002

Sept. 26, 2002

I've just installed Mailman on a Red Hat 7.2 machine (with all non-kernel updates). I used the RPM version (2.0.13-1). We're running the stock Sendmail version, also from an RPM (8.11.6-3). Everything seemed trivially easy until it came time to send mail to members of a list. The list members receive a welcome message. I can send e-mail from the machine to the members, and vice-versa. The only trouble, mail-wise, appears to be the Mailman lists: Anything that I send to a list disappears … [View More]

Approval via email response broken in 2.1b3?
by Stonewall Ballard Sept. 26, 2002

Sept. 26, 2002

I've been trying out the moderation system in 2.1b3, and have found that using the reply mechanism has no effect - the message stays in the approval queue. The reply goes to the list-request address. The Subject is "confirm <a long string>". I put the line "Approved: listpassword" on the first line of the reply. Is this known to work or is broken? Thanks. - Stoney -- Stonewall Ballard stoney(a)sb.org http://www.sb.org/stoney/
