Can Mailman Names be Exported?
by Chuck Basford 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

Is it possible to export a mailman v 2.1 list of names and email addresses to a csv (comma delimited) format file. ie. export so that names come out like Tom Smith, tom(a)abc.com Bill Rogers,bill(a)xyz.org etc. or Tom Smithtom(a)abc.com Bill Rogersbill(a)xyz.org etc. would work also.

mailman won't send out mail
by Justin Rush 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

Hi, I am trying to get mailman working on my new redhat 9 servers and mailman refuses to send out mail. I tried copying my mailman directory from the working server (running redhat 7.3), but that didn't work. I also tried installing the newest rpm 2.1-8. I see in the maillog that it does recieve the mail: Jul 31 09:12:36 hundo sendmail[20921]: h6VECahH020921: from=<jrush(a)somedomain.org>, size=866, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<Pine.LNX.4.44.0307310927460.24367-100000(a)xuthus.somedomain.org>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=mail.scout.wisc.edu [144.92.170.199] Jul 31 09:12:36 hundo sendmail[20922]: h6VECahH020921: to="|/var/mailman/mail/mailman post test", ctladdr=<test(a)hundo.scout.wisc.edu> (8/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=31090, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent However, nothing follows after that line. Sendmail will work just fine if I telnet to it and send mail, so mailman must be the problem. Does anyone have any ideas? -- Justin Rush Technical Specialist Internet Scout Project jrush(a)scout.wisc.edu

by vadim getmanshchuk 31 Jul '03

Hi, Althought, the problem is regarding a page that generating on Russian - you can see it youself, that bottom part is not translated. My users found a problem - they could not get to options page if they view listinfo page on Russian. I investigated that russian template starts wrong form. I have Mailman 2.1.1. I've fixed it as follows: murzik:pts/5{vaget}mailman/templates/ru>diff listinfo.orig listinfo.html 120c120 < <MM-Subscribe-Form-Start> --- > <MM-Options-Form-Start> Please, include it in your later edition. Thanks, Vadim ps. I was trying to contact russian editor, but looks like his web site http://only.mawhrin.net/mailman/listinfo/mailman-ru is down. I cc him just in case.

Mailman 2.1.2, Postfix 2.0.13, virtual domains
by Jim Breton 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Hi all, I have set up the above on a FreeBSD 4.7 system with the intention of being able to host per-virtual-domain mailing lists. I want to be able to have: list01(a)domain1.com and list01(a)domain2.com as completely separate, autonomous lists. First, is this even possible using stock Mailman? And if so, I've been having trouble attempting to set it up. Despite adding virtual domains to the POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS variable in mm_cfg.py, as well as trying to add "add_virtualhost('mail.domain2.com') invocations to mm_cfg.py, Mailman _always_ tries to create lists in the default domain. Example: $ bin/newlist virt4(a)default-domain.com ... (list created) data/virtual-mailman: virt4(a)default-domain.com virt4 virt4-admin(a)default-domain.com virt4-admin ... $ bin/newlist virt4(a)domain2.com ... List already exists: virt4 Or, if I create the virtual one first, it creates the list in the default domain anyway. Am I doing something wrong, or is this impossible? If it cannot be done with Mailman, is there some other MLM I should be looking at? Thanks.

Four simple questions not answered by the FAQ.
by schuetzen 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Four basic questions 1. I have 12 lists I want to be plain text 2. I want them to have NO attachments Where are the (setup) switches to make the above happen? 3. I want to have a single page for moderation efforts. Where is or how do I do this? 4. Why can I not see all 30 or 50 members of a list as we used to in pre 2.1.x?? Where is that switch? This IS the "factory" list for Mailman, right? Or should I be going to another source? thanks chas -- powered by Linux, Suse 8.2 Pro + Agent under Wine emulator Charles L Hamilton, Houston, TX chasm @ texas. net www.schuetzen.net .

Keep attachments in archive
by Arlen Walker 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

I'm looking for a useful way to keep the attachments of a message in the archive. Currently, the archive is renaming all the attachments, and the name is important, or at least the extension is, because the new name the archive is choosing is absolutely incorrect for the file, which renders the archived attachment useless as the user has no idea what program to use to open the sttachment with.

vanishing messages, v2.1.2
by phil.clarke＠idl-bt.com 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

Hi all, An odd problem ... A hosting company provides me with Mailman 2.1.2 lists and web admin tools. I've created lists of about 5 subscribers and sent messages to subscribers with no problems. I then do a bulk load of about 40 addresses. After this, if I create a message and send it to the list it appears in the archives as expected, but it *doesnt* arrive at the recipient addresses (and without shell access I cant see where the messages stall). Once Ive attempted this, everyone's bounce score is 1.0, but the administrators arent being emailed about the bounces. But if I "reply to" a message sent via the list before the bulk load, then this new reply behaves correctly, ie it appears in the archive and *is* sent to all recipients. Also if I post from an unsubscribed address and approve the post as moderator, that post behaves correctly. Any idea whats going on? Why would the reply-to's and moderator posts make it through but not the new posts? thanks ... Phil
