Virtual domains
by Merle Reine Nov. 1, 2003

Nov. 1, 2003

I have our domain setup via mailman and all of our lists work fine. I can not however figure out how to add a second domain to mailman. I need domain2 to be able to have mailing lists. I edited the mm_cfg.py file as instructed and added to main.cf hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual_mailman . virtual_mailman has: domain2 in it. ran genaliases /postfix reload . When I go to add a new mailing list in mailman, I see no option to select which domain the list should be on. I want to create sales@domain2 as a list but see no option in mailman to choose between the various virtual domains for lists. Any ideas?

Problem with mailman inserting new lines into Subject: header
by Garey Mills Oct. 31, 2003

Oct. 31, 2003

Hi - I've got Mailman 2.1b2 installed. I have a problem because Mailman occasionally inserts a newline (x010) after the list name close bracket and before the subject description in the Subject: header line. It appears that this happens only with longer subject lines. This causes a problem in Eudora, because the short display of the subject only shows the list name and not the subject description. Is there a quick fix? Garey Mills Library Systems Office UC Berkeley

mailman migration
by Fabrice Barbarin Oct. 31, 2003

Oct. 31, 2003

Hi, I was currently using mailman 2.0.13. This system was deployed into /home/mailman directory. I redeploy a new server in mandrake 9.2 I use the package mailman-2.1.2. The current install is in /var/lib/mailman. How can I import my previous mailing list configuration and archive from mailman 2.0.13 to my new mailman version? I created symbolic links for /list and /archive to my previous version. But I didn't see previous mailinglists. Is there anything else that I should do?

Question on digest headers
by Jay West Oct. 31, 2003

Oct. 31, 2003

I'm using Mailman 2.1.2 on FreeBSD v4.8-Release, built using the port. MTA is sendmail 8.12.8p1 I was using a previous release of mailman, v2.0.x. I built a new machine to run 2.1.2 on and did a fresh mailman install, then just moved the lists and archives from the old machine to the new machine. All appears to be well (except see previous post ;) ). Some of my subscribers noticed that the headers on the digest changed from the old release to the new release. Specifically, on the older version of mailman, the digest header or subject said how many messages were in that digest. The new version of mailman, the digest just says volume number basically. It doesn't say how many messages are in the digest - something my users apparently would really like to see back again. Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to add this back in? Thanks! Jay West --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]

Mailman and Debian
by Pascal Blanchette Oct. 31, 2003

Oct. 31, 2003

Hi, I was wondering if there was a reason why the only Mailman version available as a stable debian package is version 2.0.11? Version 2.1.3 is marked as unstable. Is the new version still in beta or is it ready to be deployed on a production site. In other words, would you recommend upgrading from 2.0.11 to 2.1.3 on a production site that uses mailman extensibly? Thank you for your answer, Pascal Blanchette

rotating mbox files and old archive.txt files
by Bill James Oct. 30, 2003

Oct. 30, 2003

I saw some postings about about rotating mbox files that just said to read the Archival Options docs. ( http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2001-September/013787.html <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2001-September/013787.html> ) We have the archivals options set but the list_name.mbox file doesn't rotate and the archives/private/list_name/year-Month.txt file doesn't get cleaned up, both gzip and txt files are there. Did I set something wrong or do I need to create my own clean up script to remove previous months .txt files and rotate the list_name.mbox file? (running Mailman 2.1.2 on Linux RH7.3) Thanks, Bill

Problems after system update.
by Anders Norrbring Oct. 30, 2003

Oct. 30, 2003

Hiya all! I just made a system update, and restored the files I had saved, /usr/lib/mailman/* and all subdirs. However, there must be something that was stored elsewhere, because now nobody can log on to the list created... Is there a way to fix this without a complete list recreation? Not even I as the admin can log on to the list's admin pages.

CC field with full personalization
by Norbert Phillips Oct. 30, 2003

Oct. 30, 2003

Hi all, I'm running mailman 2.1.2 and having a little trouble with full personalization, and the CC field. I've seen a few posts regarding this, but have not yet seen a way around having the CC field not show the address of the list. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks a lot, Norbert
