Giving a virtual domain it's own mmsitepass..?
by Glenn Sieb 25 Jul '03

25 Jul '03

Hey everyone :) I'm still running mm 2.1, and just got it set up for virtual domains (yay!). I'd like to give each admin of a domain the ability to maintain their own site's lists.. but only their own site's lists... Is the syntax: mmsitepass -c domain.tld ? I know I saw it posted recently, but I'm not finding it in the archives... Thanks for the help, as always! Blonde-ingly yours, Glenn :) --- The original portions of this message are the copyright of the author (c)1998-2002 Glenn E. Sieb.

Is there a way to shorten the from: address when bounce handling is on?
by Davin Dahlgren 25 Jul '03

25 Jul '03

We are using Mailman 2.1 and when the bounce handling is turned on, the from: field in the messages shows up as something like: test-bounces+davin=pacifier.com(a)myfavoritelists.com; on behalf of; Davin Dahlgren [davin(a)pacifier.com]. My boss thinks this looks like spam and he's freaking out that he's losing money because of it. Is there any way to use the bounce handling features without having the long from: address header? Does version 2.1.2 fix this? Thanks, Davin

I would like to change the subject line from "confirm %(cookie)s", to contain the name of my newsletter in the confirmation email that A new subscriber receives. Can I put the cookie string into the body of the email instead?

A rough guiding metric of what can be achieved with moderate tuning, reasonable systems choices etc (total cost under US$1,500) is 2,000 - 2,500 external deliveries per minute sustained. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas. claw(a)kanga.nu He lived as a devil, eh? http://www.kanga.nu/~claw/ Evil is a name of a foeman, as I live.

FW: TR : [Mailman-Users] missing port number :8000 in the list overviewURL.
by Nicolas C. 25 Jul '03

25 Jul '03

Hi, I find it working using: ############## GOOD ONE ################# # Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line. DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'my.machine.domain.com' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'my.machine.domain.com' DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s:8000/mailman/' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) my error was to use the following configuration: ############## BAD ONE ################## # Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line. DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'my.machine.domain.com:8000' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'my.machine.domain.com' DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s:8000/mailman/' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) The result was that all old mailing lisst was working, but when a new one was created, I have the port :8000 in doouble on certain URL (administration interface, ...): my.machine.domain.com:8000:8000 I post this if someone fall in the same problem. That's more simple that below, since I did use MAILMAN_URL field. To my config, I have 3 more fields too and the archive work well: PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = "/MHonArc/%(listname)s" PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = "/MHonArc/bin/mhonarc -add -outdir /MHonArc/html/%(listname)s >> /tmp/out_external_archiver" PRIVATE_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = "/MHonArc/bin/mhonarc -add -outdir /MHonArc/html/%(listname)s >> /tmp/out_external_archiver" I don't know why there is not PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL in the config ... that's missing to make external archiver private list. It is always pointing towards the mailman HTML mailing list and not the external archiver. The use of "add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)", is confused to me, may be this is usefull with several domain, but I still didn't understand why this is needed. regards, -----Message d'origine----- De : Don Levey [mailto:spam@the-leveys.us] Envoyé : jeudi 24 juillet 2003 16:16 À : mailman-users(a)python.org Objet : RE: [Mailman-Users] missing port number :8000 in the list overviewURL. I just ran into a similar problem, using non-standard ports. What I was finding was that changing the formats/values affected *some* links but not others. Here's what I've got that now works (fix_url is your friend!): DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'domain.tld' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.domain.tld' DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s:7080/mailman/' MAILMAN_URL = 'http://www.domain.tld:7080/' PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'http://%(hostname)s:7080/pipermail/%(listname)s' VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) The FAQ works, and is helpful - but the archive URL hint is a little burried for the impatient or over-confident. -Don -----Original Message----- From: mailman-users-bounces+don_mailman=the-leveys.us(a)python.org [mailto:mailman-users-bounces+don_mailman=the-leveys.us@python.org]On Behalf Of Richard Barrett Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 5:32 AM To: Nicolas C.

Mailman has stopped sending messages
by swayze＠zontals.org 25 Jul '03

25 Jul '03

I posted a message awhile back concerning my Mailman problems. You can see the original post at: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2003-June/029763.html I am very new to both mailing lists, and Linux, so bear with me. As I mentioned in the original message (if you'd rather not read it, or didn't), after no intervention from myself, and as the subject reads, Mailman suddenly ceased to send messages. The only error I can find is the following: "Site list for mailman (usually named mailman) missing Please create it; until then, mailman will refuse to start" As I said, I haven't touched Mailman, or anything else for that matter, yet I still have received the error above. I would like to avoid rebuilding the lists and Mailman if at all possible. Thus why I turn to you folks. Can anybody help a brotha out, again? Thanks in advance. -David Swayze swayze at zontals.org

Hello Richard, list Upgrading to mailman-2.1.2 solved the problem with archived attachments. Attachments are not correctly handled in 2.1.

Is there a way to make a read only list? I've read through the docs, but I didn't see anything about that. Thanks, Ed __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com
