New Mailman list administrator
by Melissa Oringer April 4, 2003

April 4, 2003

Hello, My webhost has recently transitioned my majordomo lists to Mailman version 2.0.13. I have customized the four pages available to me from the administrative interface to match our website. I would really like to customize the archive pages as well. Also, there are numerous other pages that I'd like to customize to match the UI of the hosting website. The list of subscribers, the results page for viewing other subscriptions, to name two off the top of my head... Does anyone know … [View More]

List issues
by jsmith April 4, 2003

April 4, 2003

Hello, I have Mailman and Sendmail running on a freebsd 4.7 machine. For the most part I have it setup the way I would like it to work. I am having a few issues with it not putting in the basic non-digest header and foot. They are there in the options but not when the post is received. Is this a common problem or a common fix? I also would like 1 of the lists to not allow anyone to send to it but a very few users. Although on the email it sends on subscribing to the list it still … [View More]

Multiple Mailman Problems
by Gordon Guthrie April 3, 2003

April 3, 2003

I have installed Debian Woody and set Mailman up (updated to the woody5 security release). The problems I'm having is that none of the options I set in the admin pages seem to work, for instance: 1 - Setting: Prefix for subject line of list postings - not used in e-mails 2 - Setting: Where are replies to list messages directed? Poster is strongly recommended for most mailing lists - always shows the original poster, can't make Reply-To work (even with Explict) 3 - Archive messages? - … [View More]

April 3, 2003

I have sent a newsletter to 50000 subscribers - The server seems to be running slow - noticeable when I go the MailMan Web administration. Does any one have any pointers for me so I can check: If the server is done sending all of the email out? -I checked the maillog but there is so much info in there its not really helpful in this case. How I can limit the time the server tries sending an email to a particular address - Ive notices a fair amount of undeliverables - and the server seems … [View More]

trimming archives
by Dave Stern - Former Rocket Scientist April 3, 2003

How do you trim back archives? I presume find {$MAILMAN}/archives/private -name "*.gz" -exec rm "{}" \; would be a bad idea as the indices still think they exist (or would the cronjobs fix this) Thanks =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- generated by /dev/dave -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= David Stern University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies

Word attachments in archive?
by Rick Kuhn April 3, 2003

April 3, 2003

A list I belong to sends e-mails to members with attachments just fine, but seems to convert the documents to undecipherial code embedded in the message on the web archive. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks, -R- _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Installation woes
by Dan Gookin April 3, 2003

April 3, 2003

I'm really excited about switching my newsletter list from majordomo over to Mailman, but I'm having an installation issue I thought I'd run by you all. I'm on FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE (just updated yesterday). I only have Python 2.2, but I'm not certain that's my issue. According to the README.BSD I used: make DIRGETGID=: install But make comes back with: >Creating architecture independent directories... >chmod o-r /usr/local/mailman/archives/private >Creating architecture dependent … [View More]
