Migrate lists from 2.0.5 to 2.1.4
by Anandha Krishnan Jan. 30, 2004

Jan. 30, 2004

Hi, I'm setting up a new system with newer OS and 2.1.4 version of mailman and need to migrate the old lists to the new server with archive data. I would really appreciate if someone could guide me through how to get this done. I have tried to move the /home/mailman/listls/~/* files and /home/mailman/archive/~/* to the new system and ran update but the old lists are not using the new features of 2.1.4. In other words and lists created on 2.1.4 have different view on the web page than the ones … [View More]

Adding users through a website
by James Lancelot Jan. 30, 2004

Hi, I want to setup a little form box that allows you to add yourself to the listserve. I am not sure on how to do this. We are using a list serve that has been setup through pair.com. It is mailman 2.0. Is it possible just to have an email sent through something like formmail that would add an address? Or do I have to code something in that goes right to the listserve? Any help would be much appreciated. -- James Lancelot CTO TEC http://www.uftec.com cto(a)uftec.com 352.870.4158

Mailman unknown user

I setup Mailman with Postfix 2.16 on a gentoo box. I modified the Postfix configuration to include the /var/mailman/data/aliases. I can create lists and get the e-mail to the list owner, but when I try to send to the list I get the following bounced message: The Postfix program <"|/var/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"@azbay.net>: unknown user: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman" Reporting-MTA: dns; aenima.azbay.net Arrival-Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2004 15:48:46 -0700 (MST) … [View More]

One-click confirm/unsubscribe options
by Andrew Stebakov Jan. 29, 2004

Jan. 29, 2004

Hi, I was wondering if there is any info on how I can enable mailman to send confirmation letter and user would be able to just click a reference to confirm (Just like it's done in mailman-users(a)python.org) . Same applies for unsubscibe option. Is it a feature that I miss in my current mailman version (I have 2.0.11-1woody5) or I'll have to write my own scripts for that?

confused about -owner/-admin/-bounce addresses
by Skip Montanaro Jan. 29, 2004

Jan. 29, 2004

In the 2.0 days, if I wanted to send a message to the various people who administered a list I'd send it to the <listname>-admin address. Now (2.1), that always seems to generate an "Uncaught bounce notification" message for the <listname>-owner address. Just what address is the correct one to use to communicate with all the list admins? What's the difference between the -owner, -admin, and -bounce addressess in 2.1? Where's this documented? The "List Manager Documentation" … [View More]

how to change http url
by Kevin Carlyle Jan. 29, 2004

Jan. 29, 2004

My list software works great for sending and receiving emails. However, I was just sent an administrative approval email. It works as it should in this case so no issue but the url was http://192.168.1.8/mailman... when I'm not on the same network as the server. Thus, I can't use that url. All pages use the IP address, the administrative email uses the ip address I need to change the IP to the domain mailman-wide. Reinstalling is not an option. How do I do this? Kevin
