Host name problem

Sept. 4, 2003

The email server we use has one domain, while we use an aliasing system for our email addresses; for instance, my alias is G.Booth(a)usm.edu, but this mail would be forwarded through our LDAP system to ghbooth(a)ocean.otr.usm.edu, which is also the server our Mailman lists are on.

Sept. 4, 2003

The essential question is: Does anyone know how to either parallelize the shunting, so mailman process multiple messages and doesn't just stall at the shunting or make shunting at least a degree of magnitude faster. The full story: So, the ValueError: Empty module name is still a pretty big problem for me. Since SoBIG we've been getting a shunt for about 55% of our email.

Archive Dating Problem - real hassle
by Jeremy Portzer Sept. 4, 2003

Sept. 4, 2003

Hello, I'm having trouble getting the archives to show the correct dates in mailman version 2.1.2 (running on Red Hat Linux 7.3). I have some lists that I copied to my current server from a previous mail host (which was running 2.0.x, but that should be irrelevant). I copied the archives and concatonated the mbox files of the new and old archives. I made sure to include a blank line between messages in the mbox files, as suggested in the FAQ, and the mbox file appears correct when viewed … [View More]

Changing Administrator Settings
by Vasquez, Tj Sept. 3, 2003

Sept. 3, 2003

Hello, I manage members(a)rvmgc.com <mailto:members@rvmgc.com> and I can no longer find the page where I can add or delete members who are allowed to post messages without moderator input. I know I can just unclick the Mod radio button under the membership list, but is that the only way now? What if we change administrators? How do we go about changing those options? Thanks, TJ
