Membership Management And Other Problems.

Greetings, I cannot "Set everyone's moderation bit, including those members not currently visible" to on, in the membership management section in any list. I have set OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION = 1 In /Mailman/mm_cfgy.py But still have the same problem. Also I cannot set or unset digest for all users, any thing I overlooked? This was happening before the changes made in the next issue explained below. In the last couple of days we had to reconfigure reverse mapping in DNS for the server, and now the URLs that Mailman builds in the list admin and info pages are pointing to the old host name, is there a way of correcting this, without re-installing mailman from scratch? Any pointers, clues will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.

Where is 'reject' message stored
by Warren Hoffman 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

One of my associates set up content filters to reject attachments and other things. He created a custom message to explain this. Now he wants to change the message, but I cannot locate which file in /mailman holds the text (and I did look at all of them). Can somebody tell me how I could find it. I do know text fragments. Thanks!!! --Warren

Upgrade hell (Debian)
by Deirdre Saoirse Moen 05 Jan '05

Upgrade script broke (not the first time). from Mailman import MailList from Mailman.LockFile import TimeOutError from Mailman.i18n import _ I'm getting error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/update", line 51, in ? from Mailman.i18n import _ ImportError: No module named i18n It doesn't balk on the line before, so it doesn't seem to be a path issue. When I comment that line out (for grins), it balks on: from Mailman.Queue.Switchboard import Switchboard from Mailman import OldStyleMemberships from Mailman.MemberAdaptor import BYBOUNCE, ENABLED Any clues? -- _Deirdre http://deirdre.net "Cannot run out of time.

Re: mm_stats question
by Jon Carnes 01 May '04

I just double checked and it works fine on all my sites... Do you have any lists with "=" in the name? If that is the case, then you would need to modify the first line and add in an additional cut: SIZ=`grep -i "post to $i" $POST |grep success |cut -f2- -d, | \ cut -f2 -d= |cut -f1 -d,` k=0; for j in $SIZ; do k=$(( j + k )); done echo " Total bytes" = $k >> $TMPFILE This additional cut will remove the listname from the line before using the "=" to isolate the size of the message If that doesn't do it for you, then drop a copy of your post log and the name of the list with the problems and I'll see what needs to be modified.

inserting fields into a message
by E Publisher 07 Mar '04

07 Mar '04

Hi, I've installed mailman to use as a mailing list (as opposed a discussion list) and I want to do something similar to what can be done in, say, Outlook when sending bulk emails and merging in data fields. Specifically, I want mailman to automatically insert the subscriber's email address into the body or footer of my message. Is it possible to insert a field in this way? Thanks, B.
