But when i send a Mail to the Maillist-Adress it doesn\'t works and the Mail going in the root Inbox.
No mail going out to lists members!
Can anybody help me?
Sorry for my bad english

Hello,
I did manage to get mailman set up to run with sendmail & wanted to
report back to the list on what was useful. First, Todd's advice to
comment out the DAEMON_OPTIONS in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
dnl # DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
(Two comments on this - what an odd way to comment out something and
also, the inline instructions in the rpm aren't all that clear - "Remove
the loopback dnl # address restriction to accept email from the internet
or intranet." - why not just say comment out the line below???)
I also kept looking for setup/install instructions within the Mailman
Documentation list here (doesn't seem to be an option):
http://www.list.org/docs.html
Searching the whole faq here though provided some very useful info:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all
These were particularly helpful:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#5.5http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#1.7
I did try exim & postfix, but couldn't get either to work..

Hi there list,
I am having some trouble setting up mailman on a Debian system with kernel
2.4.22 with Speakup a screen reader for Linux included in the kernel. I
am very new to Linux and think I can handle this I read the documentation
but I am getting lost as to put what where. If someone would be kind
enough to help me off list I would appreciate it. Thanks much.

Hello,
I have a question concerning Mailman.
I have created a mailinglist with 35 users. The users very offen receive an
errormessage that they are not allowed to post to the mailinglist, althought
there emailadres
is correct. I tried to solve this to allow non-members to post but the
message stil comes (not always)
- I use mailman 2.1.2
- I didn't install the code myself, it was an option in my cpanel.
- i do not have shell access so i can't install it myself.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I just moved a bunch of lists running under Mailman 2.0.8 on Linux
over to Mailman 2.1.3 on FreeBSD. After following the INSTALL and
UPGRADING notes almost everything seems to have gone well, except
for the private list archives.
When I go to http://lists.example.com/private/listname/ I get the
archive by-month overview page as expected, but the links miss out
the list name and do not work. For example, one link might be
http://lists.example.com/private/2003-November/thread.html when I
expect the list name between the "/private/" and the
"/2003-November".
Public lists seem to be unaffected and are still perfectly navigable
via the /pipermail URL.
When moving these lists from one installation to another all I did
was move the private/listname.mbox directories and then run "bin/arch
listname" for each list.
Hopefully someone will have some idea what I have missed here. A
quick search of the archives of this list didn't show anything
hopeful, but if I didn't look hard enough I'm sorry; please give me
the URL. If you need any more information, please ask!
Regards,
Andy
Hi,
I just completed mailman installation under RH9.0, and seems it is working fine. While I go through the documentations, I would like to ask the list the following questions:
1. Not all our list users are capable of going to the list URL and subscribe to the list. Can List Manager/Administrator simply put the list of email addresses as subscribers? If possible,how and where it can be done?
2. As a school, we would like to keep some of our lists within our domain (subscriptions to be allowed only from our school email addresses!). Is it possible?
Any pointers would be highly appreciated.

Looks like this would comment it out:
dnl # DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
Restarted it and wow.. It worked! Thanks!

I could find it in the gui.. Just had lost the text version...

I've switched that to all, if I need to try to switch to postfix.. For
right now I'll try to get mailman running with sendmail.
Appreciate your help todd.

I have Postfix + Procmail as LDA, but with Mailman, I'm noting that the
rules from /etc/procmailrc are skipped, am'I? In that file I have a rule
for stripping 'doble extension' files. Can I achieve the same effect from
Mailman? How?
Thanks,
Pablo Chamorro C.

I want to allow only certain types of files for the lists. Ok, I'm using
pass_mime_types including lines like these:
text/plain
application/pdf
application/msword
application/vnd.ms-excel
I was testing and I noted that it works different according to the email
client. For example, an excel file sent from an old Netscape is stripped
out by Mailman, but from Open Webmail or from Pine it passes!
Is there some solution on the server/Mailman side in order to allow
certain files based on its extension no matter the mime type?
Thanks,
Pablo Chamorro C.

It reports no problems, but I still get "permission denied" on the archive
from apache.
b.c.
