Too many pending requests?
by Per Starback July 7, 2003

July 7, 2003

I can't get to the pending request page for a mailing list. (My web clients just say "waiting for response" and finally give up.) I think it is because there are too many pending requests after some problems. (config.db is almost 10MB.) How can I do this some other way?

Mailman usage for Usenet gatewaying
by Darren Wyn Rees June 26, 2003

June 26, 2003

Looking for examples of Mailman usage for Usenet gatewaying particularly for moderated newsgroups. I can see the obvious example of comp.lang.python, but maybe there are others ? I am evaluating Mailman... currently mirroring articles on a local test newsgroup. Thus far, it proves impressive. I have used Russ Allbery's robust News::Gateway toolkit, http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/gateway/ along with ezmlm and Majordomo. Mailman seems to tie a lot of things together, eg. integrated web interface, archiving. It's also user-friendly. On the downside, there does not seem to be much scope for header manipulation at present, eg. headers like Path/XRef/NNTP- are mailed. -- Darren

Anyone been in my shoes? -- Ísak Ben.

VirtualHosting and Mailman
by Ram Prasad June 1, 2003

June 1, 2003

Hi I have installed mailman successfully, and would like to know how I can do virtualhosting... The scenario is: 1) the client wants to have his own listman page ( for the lists of his domain, say, news(a)abc.org) 2) now, since we also run lists for other domains, the address news(a)abc.org is conflicting with news(a)xyz.org. I am using sendmail as my MTA. I would like to know how I can do virtual hosting with mailman. Any pointers to articles on the net is also fine.. Please help Ram Prasad. P http://www.megalinux.net

feature request (email confirmation)
by william+mm＠hq.newdream.net April 7, 2003

April 7, 2003

It seems like it would be nice to setup a method of confirmation for *approving* messages that uses a unique token instead of the list password; while (hopefully) in most cases, the moderator will be sending approval messages over SSL or from the same machine the list is on, it seems like a bad idea to make the confirmation token the list password (especially in case you accidentally add the 'Approved:' header to the wrong message, or in case someone spoofed a message appearing to be from Mailman in order to try and scam list passwords).... How about generating a unique one time password and having people add this to the Approved: header? This would make it much harder for someone to accidentally disclose the list (or worse, site) password. -- "Since when is skepticism un-American?

[Mailman-Users] A Known bug with confirmation string & excessive bounces
by Tspeight＠rockygorge.com April 6, 2003

April 6, 2003

I have sent this in before but I guess the powers that be are NOT interested. There is definitely something wrong with the bounce process with regards to the Confirmation string. The first time I reported this the problem occurred on the Mailman-users list. The other times it is occurring on a list that I host. This is not a random problem. On 14 January 2003, I received the following message: "Your membership in the mailing list Mailman-Users has been disabled due to excessive bounces The last bounce received from you was dated 14-Jan-2003." On 13 February 2003, I received the following message: "Your membership in the mailing list Mailman-Users has been disabled due to excessive bounces The last bounce received from you was dated 14-Jan-2003." The confirmation sting that was sent on both times follows. 37037b7a051f71a816e27e8e0b9ba82aaf107f7b The confirmation string has been invalid each time! Further on one of my lists a member received a confirmation string but his account was okay. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Thomas
