Re: mailman & AOL's "Client TOS notification"
by Ricardo Kustner Nov. 4, 2003

Nov. 4, 2003

thanks for all the suggestions... yes I'm aware of the personalization option in 2.1; I'm already using it for a lower volume list. my ISP is especially jumpy about this because they had a recent experience of being blocked by AOL for 12 hours with AOL refusing to explain the exact reason. I'm not too happy about having to enable personalization for this list because I don't want to use unnecesary more resources... but it looks like I don't have much choice :( > Just explain to your … [View More]

How can I get a list of subscribers from my mailing list? I can see the names in the membership list management, but I don't know how to print them out so I can see all the names at one time. Can you help? Thanks, Ellen

mailman & AOL's "Client TOS notification"
by Ricardo Kustner Nov. 4, 2003

Nov. 4, 2003

Hi, My ISP has been forwarding me a batch of complaints from AOL users, which apparantly are complaints about receiving spam. I guess it's coming dumb AOL users who have no idea that they subscribed to the discussions at their own request so that they should take care of it themself if they want to unsubscribe. Are there any other mailmain admins here who also get alot of complaints through AOL? Any tips on what I can do about it before my server and possibly ISP gets blacklisted? I can'… [View More]

Mailman not forwarding
by Kevin Schroeder Nov. 4, 2003

Nov. 4, 2003

Hello, I've run into an issue that I'm hoping someone can help me with. I installed Mailman using the RPM file on a RedHat Linux machine. The install went fine except that I was getting a "Group Mismatch Error". Since I didn't want to change the group that Sendmail ran under I decided to remove the existing Mailman installation and install via the tgz file. I compiled it with the --with-mail-gid option and now I don't get any errors, but I don't get any messages either. The message … [View More]

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

Umbrella lists && approvals
by Steve Huston Nov. 4, 2003

Nov. 4, 2003

I have a mild inconvenience here, and was wondering if there's a simple way around it. For our department, I have setup lists for each class of users (undergraduates, grad students, faculty, etc), and an umbrella list to cover all the users. There are some mails that are sent out to the all users list by 3rd parties (ie, a calendar of upcoming talks in different departments and such), and usually those mails are sent out with each recipient in the BCC field so we never see any … [View More]

Moving to mailman from ezmlm
by Daniel S. Reichenbach Nov. 4, 2003

Nov. 4, 2003

Hi, we are currently testing Mailman on our development systems and really like it. Great work! Right now we use Qmail with the combination of vpopmail / ezmlm to run our mailing lists. We manage a lot of lists for Open Source projects and as of this mail we are near to 1GB of archived mails. Is there any kind of script to migrate vom ezmlm to mailman? Especially converting the archives to mailman would be a great thing. Greetings, Daniel -- Best Off GbR … [View More]

Newlist Automation scripts
by Kory Wheatley Nov. 4, 2003

Nov. 4, 2003

I left out some details from my last message about creating a list automatically from a file with no manual process involved. I'm running Mailman 2..1.2 on RED HAT 9 using postfix. I've setup postfix to automatically add the new mailing lists attributes to be configured in the alias file with the instruction provided in the install of mailman 2.0, so that portion is already accomplished for automation. I just need the rest automated. -- Kory Wheatley Academic Computing Analyst Sr. … [View More]
