by Simon Schneebeli July 30, 2003

July 30, 2003

Hi all, I'm having several lists on my server. However on the listoverview page appears only one of them. Does anyone have an idea how I can make that all of these lists appear on this page? I compared all the options of the list that appears with those of the lists that do not appear and I did not find any difference. What can I do to change this? Thanks for your help Simon

messages stuck in /var/spool/mailman/qfiles
by ben strawbridge July 30, 2003

July 30, 2003

Hello, I am having a problem with Mailman sending out messages. It was working fine then stopped working about a week ago. I have mailman installed on an unmanaged virtual host, and did not make any changes to mailman itself. When I send a message to any one of my lists I don't get a bounce or any errors, and it of course doesn't show in the archive. The website is still up and all functions appear to be working. In the directory /var/spool/mailman/qfiles there are a large number of … [View More]

Sendmail Aliases Setup
by Wendall Cada July 30, 2003

July 30, 2003

Hi all, I have recently setup Mailman 2.1.2 on Redhat 8 using Sendmail. I have a problem when creating lists, there are no entries created in /etc/aliases and the aliases.db isn't updated with the current information. Following the information in the FAQ, i was able to set this up manually, but only one alias works, the main list alias using mailman post method. However, there is a problem using the mailowner and mailcmd parameters, they don't appear to be valid. My question is this: … [View More]

problems with mailman on apache2
by Shane Hickey July 29, 2003

July 29, 2003

Howdy all, I apologize if this problem has been solved, I searched for a while and I couldn't turn anything up. Basically, I had apache 1.3 and mailman working rather nicely on a Gentoo box. Actually, I even used the masked mailman ebuild for Gentoo. I did this because my mailing-lists aren't terribly important and I wanted to provide testing feedback. Anyway, I recently upgraded to apache 2.0 and I'm having problem. I copied the appropriate lines of config from my old httpd.conf to my … [View More]

moving a list from one server to another?
by Kirk R. Wythers July 29, 2003

July 29, 2003

I am trying to move a mailman list from a gentoo linux box to a freebsd box. I have installed exim, apache13, mailman, and added the user mailman on the freebsd box. I have moved the old list and placed it in the proper location for freebsd (/usr/local/mailman/. Here's my trouble... If I open a browser and try to get to the list I can see the listinfo page for the moved list, but it has all the information concerning the archive and where to post messages from the old gentoo sever. Obviously … [View More]
