Deleting a list
by Terry Allen Nov. 23, 2004

Nov. 23, 2004

Hi again, I have a quick question that doesn't seem to be answered in any of the documentation I have found or the FAQs I have read. Is it possible to delete a list using the HTML pages in Mailman? If not, am I correct in that deleting a list requires running the rmlist command from the command line like this: rmlist listname Finally, many thanks to those who assisted me in getting Mailman up & running. -- Bye for now, Terry Allen … [View More]

How to get status of the progress of sending to a large list
by Steve Wehr Nov. 23, 2004

Nov. 23, 2004

Hi, I'm converting my Lyris mailing lists to Mailman and so far so good. One feature that Lyris has is the ability to send a progress report to the person who posts an email to the list. This progress report shows how many list members have received the email so far and how many times Lyris has tried to send the mailing. Lyris keeps sending this report to the poster until all users on the list have received the mailing or it gives up on those who keep bouncing. This can take several days. I'm … [View More]

Exim4+Debian - Moderation action inaction
by R DeWald Nov. 23, 2004

Nov. 23, 2004

I am new to the list. I have searched the archives and I can't find a message concerning the problem I am having. My MTA is exim4 and I use apache. It is a debian testing server and I installed mailman via apt-get. I have reviewed and followed the relevant README's. I have a feeling something really dumb is going on. I set up a list and sent one test message. It is being held for moderation and as the list owner I get an email every morning telling me as much. I load a browser, use the … [View More]

Removing information from the default welcome email
by Cam/Catch Design Collective Nov. 23, 2004

Nov. 23, 2004

Hi there, I found an answer to this in the FAQs, but it is far too technical for me, so.... Is there any way to remove *ALL* the information from the "Welcome to the blah(a)blah.com mailing list" email that gets sent out? Could someone please explain this to me in a non-technical way? Is there an option that I can turn on to make this list a read-only list? I wan to create a custom default email without all the info about how to post to the list etc etc.... Thank you in advance, Cam … [View More]

DEFAULT_ADMIN_MEMBER_CHUNKSIZE ignored
by Jeff Blasius Nov. 23, 2004

Nov. 23, 2004

Hello Everyone, I am managing a mailinglist with about 150 members and the administrator would like to view all of the members on one page. That is, not have them broken up by first letter on the membership list. I'm pretty sure the solution is to change the DEFAULT_ADMIN_MEMBER_CHUNKSIZE to something large, but it seems to be ignored. Any ideas? This is a fresh install of 2.1.5 with the config and members added from a text dump. The config file (the output of config_list) does not have … [View More]

reverse sorting mailman's pipermail "sort by date" page
by Jason Philbrook Nov. 23, 2004

Nov. 23, 2004

I noticed this feature was an item on the http://www.list.org/todo.html page. I ALMOST have this working as an extra script except, except for the way the HTML code is formatted by the builtin pipermail messes up my script. Where can I change how the code is generated? I basically wish for the code that creates thread.html to produce the closing </A> on the same line as the opening <A. (It does the same unnecessary line braking with italics too, but stripping those out does no … [View More]

vhosts & list are created but I still get 404 not found error on admin pages
by ShiroTora Administrative Account Nov. 23, 2004

Nov. 23, 2004

I am trying to add new lists to my Mailman config. 1 list was setup by my admin and I have followed the instruction I was given to setup new lists. However I can't seem to get any of the admin pages (aside from the 1st list installed by my admin) to show up. I carefully edited the mm_cfg.py file under /local/mailman/Mailman and added 1 add_virtualhost line for each of the needed domains add_virtualhost('www.example.us', 'example.us') SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 6 I notice that seems to have … [View More]

RE: [Mailman-Users] Content filtering
by Hong Jiang Tian Nov. 23, 2004

Nov. 23, 2004

Mark, >If you are willing to allow all text/plain parts, whether the primary >part or an attachment, you can do that and strip everything else. I tested it as follows: pass_mime_types: multipart/mixed multipart/alternative text/plain It works well to strip all attachments except the text/plain attachments. But I still has a question. Is it possible to flatten the text/plain attachments by "content filtering", so the text/plain attachments will append to the primary part. I found … [View More]

Accessing Mailman database file with Java
by Christopher Cheng Nov. 23, 2004

Nov. 23, 2004

Is there a patch/plugin to make mailman uses mysql/mssql as backend? Reading the code of MailList.py, it seems that it is using cPickle to save the mail list fp = open(fname_tmp, 'w') # Use a binary format... it's more efficient. cPickle.dump(dict, fp, 1) fp.flush() if mm_cfg.SYNC_AFTER_WRITE: os.fsync(fp.fileno()) fp.close() If I want to read the file using my Java program, either I have to the file serialized by cPickle or modify the python code to write it to RDBMS. … [View More]
