Common admin password
by Arpadffy Zoltan Feb. 3, 2004

Feb. 3, 2004

hello, I am terribly sorry if I ask trivial questions, but I haven's seen any solution for my problem so far. I ran successfully mailman 2.0.x and I decided to upgrade to 2.1.4. Upgrade went very well and seems it is functional, but I miss very much the common administrative password. The old one does not work and as a mailman host admin I lost the possibility to manage/help to list admins without knowing their passwords. Is there any possibility to restore or introduce a common admin … [View More]

The recommended method to reduce or change your archive is to edit the file .../private/etrans-echanges.mbox/etrans-echanges.mbox and remove the older messages from the file. Once you have done this, you can run /usr/local/mailman/bin/arch --wipe etrans-echange You can also try and figure out which message in the mbox file you want to start archiving (instead of deleting them from the file) and run .../bin/arch --start=N --wipe etrans-echange At least this should get you started. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own [View Less]

Not a clever thing to do. One day we'll have to re-write it so that it is less memory intensive. For now you can try using the arbitrary numbering scheme to run the arch program - and split the task into several smaller ones, or you can edit your mbox archive and dump some of the earlier emails. I like to copy off the mbox at the end of the year and start from a fresh one in January. I generally have my archives set so that they do a monthly grouping. Once you cross into the new month, there is no reason to keep the older emails from younger months - just don't delete the html archives for those months.

I get this message and don't know what to do with it.

Setting up virtual domains -- docs??
by Bruce Dienes Feb. 3, 2004

Feb. 3, 2004

Hello, There seems to be no documentation or FAQ as to how to set up one instance of Mailman to work with several virtual domains on a server. I am trying to set up Mailman 2.1.4 to work with 7 domains on a Slackware Linux box, using qmail. All the domains are owned by the same user, and mailman is set to work under the same user . I added the virtual domains in the local config file, but I'm not sure where to go from here. Can someone point me to documentation for implementing virtual … [View More]

Problems Setting Up 'Announce' Type List
by Hunter Hillegas Feb. 3, 2004

Feb. 3, 2004

I have setup a list that I intend to use as an 'announce' list. I setup the list so that new users are moderated by default. Personalization is set to 'Yes'. A 'Sender Filter' is setup to 'Reject' from moderated useres and I have some text in there to send when they try to post. My first test sender is set with 'mod' enabled. When I send a message from that account I do not get the block text sent back... The message comes through on the account that sent it but none of the other accounts … [View More]

subscribing per email
by Ken Adcock Feb. 3, 2004

Feb. 3, 2004

This is probably such a basic question that it didn't make it into the documentation. If someone wants to subscribe per email to my list at News(a)palmettomontessori.com what do they write in the email? I tried "subscribe" in the subject line, but the admin settings though that the person wanted to submit a POST. Can you help?
