It will be more usefull for sure. Maybe someone can give me a hint here on my attempt to do this by modifying edithtml.py. I can add files to what that script will edit just fine. Thing is I want to have a separate edit list for each list. I copied and renamed edithtml.py but it's not found by my server, and a pyc file is not generated. I assume I am missing a registration data base someplace? <>< Paul - wondering why his last attempt to send this was incompleat.

Installation problem /mailman/create inaccessible...
by Hsiao-lung Chang 02 Feb '04

Hi, first time using mailman. I'm getting 404 error when attempting to access /mailman/create for the first time. I'm using OpenBSD 3.4 and mailman-2.1.2p0.tgz package. The httpd process is running as www, what create is expecting. But it doesn't even seem like its able to find the file? Here's a diff between the original httpd.conf and the modified for Mailman. Am I missing anything else?

supporting all ``available_languages''?
by Graham Guttocks 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

Greetings, I'm running MM 2.1.x. Every time a new point release is made, it seems a few more languages are added. I then have to go into the web interface for each list, and click those new checkboxes under the ``available_languages'' section. Is there some mm_cfg.py variable I've missed which says essentially ``support all available languages'' so that when new languages are added, they just automatically are picked up? ===== Regards, Graham http://greetings.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

Changing post held message
by Saurav Pathak 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

Hi, I wish to change the post held message for only one of the mailing list. How may I do that? If I changed the text in the file (mailman directory)/templates/en/postheld.txt I will have changed it for all mailing lists. Which I don't want to do. Also, I pre-process mails using procmail. Different recipes add different headers to the mail, which are then used to filter the mails. How may I send out different messages to posters for different header flags? For example one header is "X-IsSpam: yes" and another is "X-IsVirus: yes". I use these headers to filter the messages in mailman. I would like different messages to go out to the posters for these two different flags. I am using Mailman 2.1.1 from the Redhat 9 distribution. Thanks for your help. saurav

Upon going to my list admin interface to tend to admin chores, i got the following page: Bug in Mailman version 2.0.7 We're sorry, we hit a bug!
