python 1.4
by Jeff Aug. 1, 2003

Aug. 1, 2003

Hi, My host has Python 1.4 only installed and in the mailman site, it says that Python 1.5 is required. Is there any way I can get mailman running with only Python 1.4? or what parts of the source require Python 1.5 I can disable? Thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Has anyone seen Mailman 2.1.2 for Redhat 7.x and/or Redhat 8.x? I only have seen mailman-2.0.13-1.i386.rpm, and there are some new features in 2.1.2 that would be nice to have. Thanks, paulw

Monthly reminder with failed delivery is sent to test list
by Paul F. Williams Aug. 1, 2003

Aug. 1, 2003

On the first of each month, when the mailing list membership reminder is sent out, it looks like when there is a failed delivery, to a particular address I see 2 odd things. 1) the messages get sent to the address test-admin which is not the list where the bad address was located 2) nowhere in the failed message does it indicate the list where the bad address is located. Have I done something to mis-configure the system or is this normal behavior? Thanks, paulw

Excuse my ignorance everyone - I'm a total Mailman newbie. I was wondering if there was a way to eliminate the step of requiring a subscriber to confirm a subscription request?

Edit rejection notice text
by Todd Felmly Aug. 1, 2003

Aug. 1, 2003

Is there a way to edit the text contained in _non-member_ rejection notices? I.e., if a non-member posts to a list and the Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined setting is set for reject, this is what the user gets: "You are not allowed to post to this mailing list, and your message has been automatically rejected. If you think that your messages are being rejected in error, contact the mailing list owner at xxx(a)dom.ain." Where is this template at? I've searched through the archives/en directory and can't find it. Thanks! Todd

shunt errors from archiver (IOError 13, permission denied)
by Paul Schreiber Aug. 1, 2003

Aug. 1, 2003

I'm running mailman 2.1.2; debian package version is 2.1.2-6. I'm using Sendmail for mail. The traceback below showing up in my error log. Running check_perms says "no problems found." The directory in question looks like this: drwxrws--- 2 root list 4096 Aug 1 13:00 database I looked in the list archives, and found similar, but not identical, problems. I'm thinking whatever is causing this is also prevent mail for one of the lists for getting out. What can I do to fix this?

Can Mailman Names be Exported?
by Chuck Basford Aug. 1, 2003

Aug. 1, 2003

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.
