DEFAULT_URL not being honored
by Vince LaMonica Feb. 26, 2003

Feb. 26, 2003

Hi all, On Feb 16th, I upgraded from 2.0.13 to 2.1.1 and have just noticed that the value of DEFAULT_URL in mm_cfg.py, which is: DEFAULT_URL = 'https://www.seweb.uci.edu/ucimail/' is not being honored in the footers on the listinfo and admin pages. Eg: if you visit: https://www.seweb.uci.edu/ucimail/listinfo/clsgrads You'll notice at the bottom of the page the "Overview" link points to http://www.seweb.uci.edu/mailman/listinfo which is not where the listinfo page is located [… [View More]

We've just installed 2.1, and I have our list configured to "yes" on the web page for "Should Mailman convert text/html parts to plain text? This conversion happens after MIME attachments have been stripped." So, I sent a test message to the following test message to the list: "Sending this with bold, italics, and underline" And I got back the following message: "The attached message matched the odnet-coach mailing list's content filtering rules and was prevented from being forwarded on … [View More]

ssl connect to admin link

Feb. 26, 2003

Currently I'm running version 2.0.13. It all seems to work fine. I would like the URL for accessing the ADMIN link to be ssl enabled (i.e. https:// and NOT http://). The public link being http:// is fine. Does anyone know any easy way to get this accomplished? Thanks in advance. --les

auto-discard/purge to an announce list?
by Jonathan Ah Kit Feb. 26, 2003

Feb. 26, 2003

Hi, Well, with the glorious (hehe) event of my mailing list server going back up, I've a question. I am back running the sarge/testing Debian package (2.0.13, IIRC) of Mailman, and I'm wondering if there's a way to either auto discard all admindb requests? The rationale is that I run mostly announce lists at the moment, and with just confirm subscribes, I shouldn't need to approve anything at all, including the posts from only explicit address (which has been set). Any ideas, people? This is … [View More]
