restricting subscriptions
by Ricardo Kleemann Sept. 25, 2003

Sept. 25, 2003

Hi, Sometimes an announcement-only type of list needs also to be configured such that it restricts subscription, meaning that only an approved person (e.g. administrator) can actually add members to the subscription list. Is that at all possible with MM ? Is it possible to hold subscription requests? Ricardo

moving large archive
by Rae Sept. 25, 2003

Sept. 25, 2003

Hello, I'm transferring lists from one server to another. A couple lists have extremely large archives and while running the bin/arch command it faults with a memory error (see below). Additionally, the same thing happens when I run it with the unlimit command. I've even increased the size of the server disk space. Same result. Does anyone know how I can solve this? Or how to take the listname.mbox apart to eliminate old messages? Or any other workable solution? TIA Rae ----------------… [View More]

I think there should be a c option in addition to the -d for the bzip2 command if it's piping the output directly to patch, but that's just a guess since I don't know what the spec file is actually doing. You might want to try a newer RPM from whatever vendor you're trying to build this on. And while you're at it, I'd spend the time to build Mailman 2.1.2 instead of the rather old 2.0.13. There are many useful improvements in 2.1.2. If there isn't an RPM for your platform (that builds cleanly), it's really straightforward to build Mailman from tarballs. Plus, you can then be more sure that you've done everything required to make it work with your setup instead of hoping that the RPM packager did it right. - -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xD654075A | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ============================================================================ Stop tolerating in your leaders what you would not tolerate in your friends. -- Michael Ventura -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: When crypto is outlawed bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl. iD8DBQE/c2druv+09NZUB1oRAnHiAJ9rit/XAcFasL+1fMuRma8xA4/QjgCfacPb W33elQnWb1/17eQgHwCkKJo= =dD+K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- [View Less]
