Thanks, I will try it, but right now, sendmail will not even let me send mail to it. first it refused SMTP connections, now that I commended out something in sendmail.mc (per advise I got) sendmail refuses to relay... did not know that, I always put my reply at the top, so that it is easier to find/read. will put at the bottom from now own. -avi -- Aviram Carmi Owner Executive Vice President, Technology Over TheNet (R) 601 Daily Drive Suite #226 Camarillo, CA 93010-5840 http://www.otn.com/ Building Profitable Web Sites Today (805) 384-1144 Voice (805) 384-9111 FAX (C) Copyright 2003, Over TheNet (R) All rights reserved.

Moving a mailing list question.
by Mark London 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

I have mailman installed on node A, under Apache, with lots of mailing lists. I have created an alias for node A named LISTS, and I want people to access the mailing lists using the address LISTS rather than A. However, when I access the node using the address LISTS, it tells me there are no mailing lists. I can create new ones when I am connected via LISTS, but I don't want to have to recreate all my mailing lists. I just want to move the present ones. However, from what I can see, both mailing lists created under A and under LISTS use the same directories! So what's the trick to moving them? Thanks!

This will not be the case for mailing list mail being sent by the server, unless you have turned on list customization. In that case, mailman will send out one copy of the message for each and every recipient, and will put their e-mail address in the footer. Also, in the case of a single recipient per message, most MTAs are already configured to put this kind of information into the headers, usually the "Received:" headers. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles(a)skynet.be> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.

I figure adding a Delivered-To: or For: header in the > headers would fix that. This is an MTA issue. When mailman queues the outgoing message, in most cases it will queue just one copy for all of the mailing list recipients. It will then be up to the MTA to split that out as appropriate and deliver the copies to the recipients. You could turn on list customization, so that mailman sends out a separate message for every recipient, at which time it will put the user's e-mail address in the footer. But this causes a significant increase in load on the server, and may not be feasible in your case. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles(a)skynet.be> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.

problems setting up mailman
by Jason Williams 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

Hello everyone... Well, im in the process of setting up Mailman on my server... The server is running RH 8.0. I went ahead and downloaded the RPM from Red Hat and it installed Apache as well... I followed the directions in the httpd-mailman.conf file and copied it over to my httpd.conf I fired up apache and went to http://localhost/mailman And was prompted with the page... Where I am now having problems is how to setup my lists... I have been reading through the README file that comes with the tarball, and tried going to: http://localhost/mailman/create but I get a page not found... So im missing something and not sure what it is... Can anyone help me out? I appreciate it. Jason

Edit Archive
by Doug Lawrence 29 Aug '03

Hi all: I saw an earlier message asking if there was a way to edit an archive to delete or edit a message contained in the archive file, but saw no response. Anyone have an idea how to do that? Much thanks. We want to clean up our records to delete old administrative or other "unwanted" messages. _______________________________________ Douglas Lawrence

29 Aug '03

I want to use the program "mailman" to manage my e-mail list. I'm using OS X, Jaguar. However, when I attempt to download the file via Safari I'm told the download manager can't download the file mailman-2.0.13.tgz I appreciate any feedback. I'm computer savvy from a user perspective, however, the programming realm is out of my bailiwick. Thanks for your help. Regards, Joseph Mina

Thanks, I'll try it, well, now I can at least talk to sendmail, but relaying is denied...

Mailman Admin via e-mail
by Scott Coats 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

I just setup Mailman and it works great! I previously used Majordomo and was only able to configure it via the email interface. Is this possible with Mailman? If so, how do I set this up? Is there an email address to send mail admin request to? Do I setup a address to pipe to a program. Please advise. -- R.
