Language setup problem
by Rostyk Ivantsiv Feb. 4, 2003

Feb. 4, 2003

Hello! I have a problem with setting up the language(in my case it's Russian). I can set the Russian language through Language Options for a particular List, but some general admin pages, like http://www.myhost/mailman/admin (it contains the text "Welcome! Below is the collection of publicly-advertised Mailman mailing list...") remain in English. The .po and .mo files appear to have the translation for these parts of text, but how can I set … [View More]

listadmin-addr
by delilah＠seyyav.pair.com Feb. 3, 2003

Feb. 3, 2003

Hi, In the mailpasswds script the variables used for 'hostname', 'useraddr', 'exreq', and 'owner' are listed as: 'hostname': host, 'useraddr': addr, 'exreq' : r, 'owner' : mailman_owner, What is the variable name used for listadmin-addr? I've looked everyplace that I can think of and can't find it. I'd like to replace the mailman_owner address used in the cronpass.txt to the listadmin-addr address. Thank you, Sean

MM doesn't send mail
by friedrich28＠gmx.de Feb. 3, 2003

Feb. 3, 2003

Hi there, it seems that my mailman installation does not send out mail. I have installed Postfix as MTA on a MacOS X Server. When I create a list, I get the message that the list owner had been notified of its creation by mail. But nothing shows up in the mail.log file, and the mail never arrives. Posting to a list doesn't work either. Postfix itself can send mail, at least by logging in through telnet 25 on localhost. How can I test interaction between mailman and postfix? The Mailman … [View More]

Personalization Options
by Larry Hansford Feb. 3, 2003

Feb. 3, 2003

Since I upgraded to Mailman 2.1, I want to add personalized messages in the footer of messages, much like the ones that are included with this list. I added these lines to the mm_cfg.py file, as indicated in the FAQ: VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS = 1 VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES = 1 VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1 VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = 1 I'm not sure what variables are available for adding to the lines, though. Is there a link to references of variables that are available? Also, for our lists, the … [View More]

2.1 FreeBSD cgi setup problem
by Chris Tomlinson Feb. 3, 2003

Feb. 3, 2003

I'm trying to run Mailman 2.1 on a FreeBSD 4.4 virtual private server installation and have encountered a cgi related setup problem. I configured using --with-cgi-gid, --with-username, --with-groupname, --with-mail-gid and did the make with DIRSETGID=: I ran check_perms until no problems. I updated mm_cfg.py, httpd.conf for ScriptAlias and so forth and am using "MTA = 'Manual'". I created the newlist mailman and got the email notification of success. My problem comes when I try to … [View More]

2.1 / ssl / admin
by Gregg Siegfried Feb. 3, 2003

Feb. 3, 2003

I have 2.1 installed on OSX 10.2.3 with apache 1.3.27. I am using redirect directives to ensure all mailman-related web requests use SSL. I have noticed that I cannot process pending administrative requests - no matter what I choose (defer, approve, etc.) the request remains, and the radio button goes back to the default (defer) after I submit. By turning SSL off, requests can be processed as expected. I am using the same ssl redirection on a 2.0.10 server, and have had no such problems. … [View More]

auth bug
by SUBREDU Manuel Feb. 3, 2003

Feb. 3, 2003

Hy, I'm using mailman 2.0.13 on a RedHat 8.0 linux box. Today I've discovered a bug in authentification on administrative interface. For instance, suppose that I have for a list, the password "1234", and when mailman is asking me for a password, I give him 123456789 he shouldn't let me go further because the password is wrong. But this is not happening. Mailman is letting me in without a problem. Did someone have the same problem as me ? Is there a fix for fix ?
