BTW how can I add taglines, i.e. random strings picked frpm a text file
where they lies every one on a separate line. ALmost every list manager
has tag lines administration, but I did not find them in mailman...

Upgrading glibc to the lastest release version fixed the problem completely.

Colocate your server in our underground bunker!
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?
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.

After operating several mailman newsletters for several months, I just
became aware that subscribers find unsubscribing a daunting task. They
can not do it without their password and they don't know their
password. They end up asking me, as list owner, to do it. I am looking
for ways to make it easier for them. Newsletters go out about once a
week and I do not wish to burden them with periodic password
notification. With my previous maillist software, I just told my
potential subscribers (and unsubscribers) to put "subscribe" or
"unsubscribe" in a message to <listname>-request@<domain>. That worked
very well for me and I would like mailman to operate as simply. Here
are the things I have thought of to deal with this mailman problem:
1) do away with all user passwords. The FAQ tells me that that is not
possible currently.
2) set all user passwords to the same and then make it public. This
seems to involve mailman configuration beyond my access. I am the
client of a hosting service and do not have the site password and I
don't expect my host to be willing to spend much time on the problem.
3) send the user password in reply to an unsuccessful unsubscribe or
help request and then tell them what to do with it. Can anyone tell me
how to do that?
4) reply to a confirmation email. It seems to me that the unsubscribe
procedure could operate as simply and be as secure as the subscribe
procedure. That is, in response to a unsubsribe email, a reply
required confirmation email could be sent to the subscriber's address.
Is that feasible?
5) Anyone have any other ideas?
A few months ago, I posted here queries on several configuration
issues; replies allowed me to get my footers straightened out get html
posts rejected. One outstanding issue is access to the subscriber
lists. With my previous maillist, I was able to ftp to and from my
subscriber lists. That gave me a sense of comfort, knowing that I was
not completely dependent on my host. I realize I can cut and paste
each batch of 30 subscribers from the administration web interface, but
I find that pretty tedious. Help?

I've tried pointing the wrapper to /usr/adm/sm.bin/, /etc/smrsh, and /etc/mail/smrsh beucoes those dirs where all on my system and im not sure which one to use
First i configured mailman to use gid 12 = mail and of course that is wrong so i'm using gid 25 = smmsp now and wrapper doesnt give any errors when i run it from the shell.
Anyone been in my shoes?

Hi,
I am running Maiman 2.1 beta 3 and I would like to
upgrade to the final release.
Could someone point me to the proper documentation or
just quickly tell me what I need to do?
Any information is more than welcome.
Thanks,

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

After upgrading to mailman 2.1, I noticed that I am not longer able to
approve posts with almost all
browsers minus opera 6.1(linux). Whenever i try to approve a held post
the page reloads with all of the same content. Opera 6.1(linux) on the
other hand asks me if I want to post data to the web page .. which i do
and it works fine. funny enough opera 7.1(win) doest not work. The same change
and no actual change happening happens when i try to add new users to
a mailing list.
the following do not work:
opera7.1(win)
ie6.0(win)
mozilla-1.4(linux)
The system is redhat6.2 2.2.5 running apache-1.3.27 with mod-ssl
