Re: Moving a 1.x list to an existing 2.1.4. Mailman install?
by Bruce Dienes Feb. 25, 2004

Feb. 25, 2004

Hello there, I think I have figured out how to move a Mailman installation to a new server, and also how to upgrade an installation from 1.x to 2.x, but... I am a bit flummoxed as to how to move some lists that are now running on a 1.x version of Mailman to an already existing Mailman installation that is running lists on v.2.1.4. Can someone point me to some docs for this, or do you have an easy way to make the transition? Thanks! Bruce

auto-discard message
by Christopher Adams Feb. 24, 2004

Feb. 24, 2004

Recently, I have had a couple of list owners who have sent messages to their respective lists and received back the message 'The attached message has been automatically discarded' In one case, the discard message and attachment is delivered to the list members, but they still receive the intended message. In another case, even a plain-text message with no attachments generates the auto-discard message. My first theories were that it was being discarded because of an all-caps subject line, … [View More]

Messages to hotmail are dropped

Dear Mailman users, our company is using Mailman 2.1.4. Our database has got a total of 2000 members. About 60% of them are hotmailaddresses. After sending our last mail I noticed that almost none of the hotmailusers received a mailing. I noticed that because I created a couple of hotmail test account. When I tried to send a mailing with our testmailinglist which consist of only 2 hotmailaddresses (the same that are in our main mailinglist) they do receive the mailing. I assume that the … [View More]

approving by e-mail moderated messages and subscriptions
by Marco Prandini Feb. 24, 2004

Feb. 24, 2004

Hello list, I just started configuring some lists under Mailman and I'm not able to find a couple of configuration options I need. I browsed the docs with no luck. I'd like to administer the lists entirely by e-mail, and in particular I need to be able to confirm posts to a moderate list and to approve (un)subscription requests. However, when I try a subscription the owner receives a message telling him to go to the admin URL in order to approve it... no hints about how to do it by e-mail … [View More]

japanese module disapeared, where?
by Bastiaan Welmers Feb. 23, 2004

Feb. 23, 2004

Hi, Today my entire mailman stopped working (wrapper, webcgi's, queue runner, everything) due to one the same error "No module named japanese". How this module disappeared is a miracle, (can't have been hacked, there was no internet connection), and my question is: where belongs this module to replace it? On another box i where japanese is still there, I couldn't find any "japanese*" file in /usr/lib/python or /opt/mailman Thanks, Bastiaan Welmers
