archive clean-up?
by Tim Tyler Aug. 27, 2003

Aug. 27, 2003

Mailman users, I have seen the faq that discuss how to remove archives, etc. However, it seem rather manual intensive to truncate archives down to 1 year or any particular time period. Does anyone have a utility or script that can take different Mailman lists and truncate the archives down to a specified time period? Also, is there a quick way to identify all of the list owners? I have over 100 lists and I don't know how to find the list owners without logging into each list … [View More]

Users worried about spammers getting their email address
by Heath Raftery Aug. 27, 2003

Aug. 27, 2003

Hi list, I know this has been discussed in various forms in the past, but I wanted to bring it up again with a few fresh angles. I have a user who is on a campaign to remove his email address from any web site. He was worried the lists I run have his address available to spammers. After I let him know that you have to be a member of the list to see the email address, and that any appearance of his address in the (open) archives would be name at domain and mailto:the list, he was … [View More]

How to modify admin_member_chunksize
by Gerard Beekmans Aug. 26, 2003

Aug. 26, 2003

Hi guys, How can the admin_member_chunksize variable be changed? I happened across DEFAULT_ADMIN_MEMBER_CHUNKSIZE in the Defaults.py file, so I added it to mm_cfg.py so new lists have a higher number before membership lists get sorted alphabetically. How do I change this value for existing lists? I can't find the option in the GUI to do this and doing a config dump with config_list -o - listname doesn't even show that variable. -- Gerard Beekmans http://www.linuxfromscratch.org http://www.… [View More]

Setting to receive both individual posts and digests?
by Gerard Beekmans Aug. 26, 2003

Aug. 26, 2003

Hi again, Is there a way to set a user to receive the individual posts as well as the digests? As the list admin I'd liek to receive digests so I can make sure they are sent out properly, how many a day and so forth. Right now when I select the digest option for my email address I cease to receive the messages as they are posted. I get around this by using a different email address to receive digests on, but I rather just use the one email address. Less to remember when upgrading. -- Gerard … [View More]

Is there some way to find out how many people signed up from say June to August for a list? I have been searching freshmeat and google for some mailman analyzer but I have yet to find one. -- Justin Rush Technical Specialist Internet Scout Project jrush(a)scout.wisc.edu

Thanks, Brad. I guess I'll have to upgrade to 2.1 to get that feature.

To retain bounce statistics
by Jaswinder S. Hayre Aug. 26, 2003

Aug. 26, 2003

Guys, I would like to have Mailman retain the bounce statistics even if a certain email is removed and then added again. Mailman's current behavior is that it resets the bounce count to 0 if address a(a)b.com is removed and then added again. We are thinking about refreshing the subscribers list with our internal (FoxPro) database EVERY night. In this scenario if the bounce count is reset every night no subscriber will EVER be removed. Any way to change this? Regards, Jas

Clearing out admin messages
by Morgan Fletcher Aug. 26, 2003

Aug. 26, 2003

Our spam filter seems to have sprung a leak, and one of our lists (mailman 2.0.8) now has over 1000 messages in the admin queue. We'd like to just clear it out without using the web interface. I searched for the solution but could not find it. How can we clear that queue en masse? We'll upgrade to the latest mailman when I find some free time. Thanks, Morgan

sending images
by Jeff Besecker Aug. 26, 2003

Aug. 26, 2003

I am trying to send out a message through Mailman 2.1.2 (on RedHat 7.1) which contains an embedded image. We use Novell's Groupwise for mail. If I send the message through Mailman it comes back with the embedded image as an attachment. If I send the message straight through GW the message is received intact. If I send the same message to Yahoo the message displays fine so nothing is happening in GW. Does anyone know what might be happening on the receiving end or in Mailman that would … [View More]
