Hi, I am seeing some mail lists handled by mailman with a message count in the subject line accompanying the digest message. My digest mailings do not have these details. How do I add them? Here is an example of the subject: <listname> digest, Vol 1 #2186 - 13 msgs ^^^^^^^^ message count - Noah

Adjusting the welcome message
by Lee Stevens 31 May '03

31 May '03

Hello all, First off thanks to those that have assisted me in my other 2 posts. I have appreciated it. I have been setting up an announce only list and have not been able to adjust the welcome message as it states in the faq... How to create a customized welcome message that avoids mentioning how to post to the list: In Mailman 2.1.x you can customize the welcome message. Create a directory lists/<yourlist>/en (assuming English :) and copy templates/subscribeack.txt to this directory. Then edit this file for your specific wording. Mailman will use this specialized template for the English welcome messages.Somehow it does not want to use this welcome message that I have written. AnyIdeas? Thanks in advance, Lee

Listing Only Members with Specific User Options
by Matt Noble 31 May '03

31 May '03

Hi all, I am looking for a way to list all members of a list with a specfic member option set, specifically the nomail option. I would like to do something with the bin/withlist command to dump a file of all members of a list with the nomail option set. There are too many members on my list to use the web interface to identify all the members with this option set. I see that by looking at a list with the withlist command you can do: >>> print m.user_options To get a list of each member followed by a code for their options, but I can't find a key for the user_options code. Can someone tell how to decode the user_options or is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? Thanks. Matt Noble MonsterTRAK Systems Administrator

re: Announce-only list

How do I set up an Announce-only list in Mailman? The config file talks about one briefly, but provides no explicit options to create one. I have two lists that should be outbound-only, with no subscriber postings. Can you help? Thanks, Bill _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Exim/Mailman Issue - Not sending anything
by Michael Arena 31 May '03

31 May '03

Hello, I have configured Mailman 2.12 from source on RH 7 using Exim as the MTA. I can access all the admin pages and have added the appropriate entries to the Exim config file based on the instructions detailed here: http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman.html. I restarted Exim and still cannot invite members to my list. I try to invite them to check that it is sending email but i don't get anything from the list, no error messages either. Anyone have any idea how to get this working from the point? Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Thanks, Mike

Re: [Mailman-Users] MySQL?

Been there, done that! (thank you, though) Sympa showed promise on paper (specifically, the comparison paper available on the Sympa site) but it just didn't work out. I couldn't get the bloody thing installed on RedHat 8.0, despite working with one of the developers to try to get it happening. I sent out a message to the sympa-users list asking if *anyone* had successfully installed it on 8.0 and I all I heard was the crickets chirping. On the Sympa users list I constantly hear (read) of people running into significant problems. And the fact that there are *so* many Perl module dependencies just doesn't leave me with a comfortable feeling about Sympa. A colleague and I managed to get Sympa running on RedHat 7.3 after many hurdles, and we gave it a spin, but it just isn't what we're looking for. In addition, the SQL offering in Sympa only applies to the user table. OK for a start, but I need more than that. I have pretty much decided to go with Mailman because it is easy to install, has a very large install base, and has most of the delivery features I need. And the problems that are reported on this list don't seem to be major show stoppers with no solutions in sight. So now that I have identified the best open source MLM (at least for my purposes), I just have to convince/beg/influence the Mailman developmnent folks to get it to behave more like the best commercial MLM (Lyris). ;-) - Kevin On Fri, 2003-05-30 at 11:54, Jeff D wrote: > You guys might want to check out Sympa instead of Mailman - > > http://www.sympa.org/ >
