Hide list address?
by Ricardo Kleemann Nov. 17, 2023

Nov. 17, 2023

Hi, Is there any way to configure Mailman such that, for an announcement-only type list, when a message is sent to the list, the To: shows the member's address, rather than the list address? Some list software allows the ability to hide the list address itself, so that address is not advertised. I couldn't find any configuration specific to that.

Where is 'reject' message stored
by Warren Hoffman Jan. 24, 2005

Jan. 24, 2005

One of my associates set up content filters to reject attachments and other things. He created a custom message to explain this. Now he wants to change the message, but I cannot locate which file in /mailman holds the text (and I did look at all of them). Can somebody tell me how I could find it. I do know text fragments. Thanks!!! --Warren

Upgrade hell (Debian)
by Deirdre Saoirse Moen Jan. 5, 2005

Jan. 5, 2005

Upgrade script broke (not the first time). from Mailman import MailList from Mailman.LockFile import TimeOutError from Mailman.i18n import _ I'm getting error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/update", line 51, in ? from Mailman.i18n import _ ImportError: No module named i18n It doesn't balk on the line before, so it doesn't seem to be a path issue. When I comment that line out (for grins), it balks on: from Mailman.Queue.Switchboard import Switchboard from Mailman import OldStyleMemberships from Mailman.MemberAdaptor import BYBOUNCE, ENABLED Any clues? -- _Deirdre http://deirdre.net "Cannot run out of time.

optionsurl not using full domain
by Mike Alberghini Nov. 4, 2003

Nov. 4, 2003

For some reason my new subscriber messages are going out with only my hostname, not the full domain name in the urls. For example the welcome messages tells people to click http://mailbox/mailman/listinfo/galileo instead of http://mailbox.gsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/galileo I can't find a way to set the optionsurl variable to the full domain name. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- Michael Alberghini Software Systems Engineer Georgia State University mike(a)gsu.edu

Problem with archrunner using large %'s of cpu (read faq & archives)
by Jay West Nov. 3, 2003

Nov. 3, 2003

I'm using Mailman 2.1.2 on FreeBSD v4.8-Release, built using the port. MTA is sendmail 8.12.8p1 Very frequently I will see the ArchRunner process using 99+ % of cpu. I have searched the archives and found lots of messages about qrunners using large percentages of cpu, but they all seem to talk about the fixes being related to actual mail processing (sendmail), not archRunner. I am assuming that if the problem was mail delivery or reception I would be seeing the large cpu use on a different qrunner process. My issue is specific to the archrunner process which I don't find much on in the archives/faq. I am using a pretty default install, haven't tweaked anything. If it helps... here are some possibly germane things: 1) I never seem to be able to catch anything in /usr/local/mailman/qfiles/archive, but that may be a timing thing, as my archives do appear to be getting updated. 2) I looked in the /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/*.mbox directories, and find listname.mbox at 33mb and listname.mbox.1 at 54mb. Could it be that these files are just so big that it takes huge amounts of cpu to add posts to these? I'm guessing they are the archives. This gives rise to several questions (someone else maintained this setup before I did). Does mailman split them (the .1 file), or can I just rename listname.mbox to listname.mbox.2 and mailman will have a smaller chunk to deal with? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!!! I have another question or two but will post separately for them. Jay West --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]

unsubscribe_policy problem?
by Pasi Sjoholm Nov. 3, 2003

Nov. 3, 2003

Hello, I set up a mailman today and now I have a little problem. I have this corporate mailing list and I have set unsubscribe_policy to yes for that list but still users can unsubscribe via web gui after they have clicked the unsubscribe and confirmed that they really want to unsubscribe via email. I'm using Mailman 2.1.2... is this a bug or what? -- Pasi Sjöholm
