Can mailman be configured by the owner to provide only digest service to subscribers and with posting privilege limited to the owner ?

setting a list for no daily reminders?
by Mark Dec. 31, 2004

Dec. 31, 2004

I am running a list set to immediately send administrative requests (admin_immed_notify set to yes), but I am getting daily notices as well. I don't want to receive daily notices. The immediate notices are sufficient. Nor do I see the logic in filling my inbox with daily notices when I'm not around or haven't had a chance to process the immediate notices that are already sitting there. Is there any way to change this?? THANX!!

problems migrating mailman site
by Chris Riley Dec. 31, 2004

Dec. 31, 2004

I'm upgrading my box from Fedora to Gentoo. I've saved my old mailman directory and have just installed Mailman in Gentoo. But when I try copying over the archives, data and lists directories, it doesn't know about the lists. Old version on Fedora is 2.1.5. New version in Gentoo is 2.1.5. I've emerged mailman, and done the work to integrate with apache and postfix. I can view a screen at http://myserver.com/mailman/admin/, but it says that there are no public lists. What do I need to do to get Mailman working with my old lists? Thanks. -Chris Riley __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi there! I get the above mentioned error in my mailman installation. The complete trackback is: Dec 31 02:42:28 2004 (23865) Uncaught runner exception: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128) Dec 31 02:42:28 2004 (23865) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/stow/mailman-cvs/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 111, in _oneloop self._onefile(msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/stow/mailman-cvs/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 167, in _onefile keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/stow/mailman-cvs/lib/mailman/Mailman/Queue/OutgoingRunner.py", line 73, in _dispose self._func(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/stow/mailman-cvs/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py", line 131, in process Decorate.process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/usr/local/stow/mailman-cvs/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py", line 99, in process ufooter = unicode(footer, lcset) UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128) The mailman-Install is a rather recent CVS checkout.

resent-to possibly gets a message through moderation?
by Gadi Evron Dec. 31, 2004

Dec. 31, 2004

Hello. I am running several mailing lists using mailman. Latest available debian package. A member of one of my mailing lists got a spam message (it was confirmed on several levels). We are not yet exactly sure how it happened, but the result was him re-sending the message to the list, carbon-copied from the spam. Here is what I suspect caused mailman to accept the message without moderation, even though the FROM: address is not subscribed: Resent-To: mylist(a)mybox.mydomain From: "inquisitorRobbins" <widowhoodCorbett(a)coachdriverswithen.com> Resent-Message-Id: <MC6-F1009x0j1TsvfcJ00092c47(a)coachdriverswithen.com> Resent-From: "member name" <member(a)email.address> If it isn't it and I completely mis-understood what happened, or you require any further information to find out how mailman let this email through, please let me know. I am somewhat worried. Thank you for your help, Gadi Evron.

Huge List
by Hauns Froehlingsdorf Dec. 30, 2004

Dec. 30, 2004

I am hoping that someone will be able to help me out here. I have been using mailman for a while now and am very familiar and happy with its functionality! I have a client that wants to bring his list over to mailman, he has roughly 200,000 subscribers to this list and it is used once a month for a newsletter. The system I will be putting this on is a pretty beafy dell edge server running RH AS3.0, dual processor and 1 GB of memory. Sendmail for MTA. Has anyone ever had experience or heard of how mailman/sendmail will play with a list of this size? Thanks, Hauns -- Hauns Froehlingsdorf KI0GU

Apache2+Mailman - GID Issues
by Hunter Hillegas Dec. 30, 2004

Dec. 30, 2004

I am installing Mailman 2.1.5 on a new install of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0. I am using it with Apache 2 and Postfix. My configure line: ./configure --with-mail-gid=postfix --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.2 --with-cgi-gid=nobody The group nobody exists. From httpd.conf, it is hard to tell what group Apache is using. Apache 1.3 clearly shows 'nobody'. The Apache 2 conf shows: Group #-1 If I try to configure with cgi-gid=-1, I get: checking for CGI wrapper group; i.e. --with-cgi-gid... configure: error: When trying to view the listinfo page with these settings, I get the standard CGI error: Failure to find group name nobody. Try adding this group to your system, or re-run configure, providing an existing group name with the command line option --with-cgi-gid. I tried to search for this issue with Google and the FAQ and didn't find an answer. Does anyone know? Thanks, Hunter
