re: problem solved: "email messages not going out"
by Craig Elkins March 30, 2004

March 30, 2004

geezooks! finally stumbled upon the reason list member email wasn't being sent to the list. "When I review the usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman file it looks like it is blank - this will cause a problem since mailman needs this to load the user/list correctly. I have restored this file for you and mail seems to be working now " from my server tech support. i didn't see this anywhere in the documentation. unless, and this is entirely possible, something else was supposed to fix this … [View More]

setting up mailman on lunarpages.com
by Wendy Johnson March 30, 2004

March 30, 2004

Perhaps mailman is too sophisticated for my needs. I have a site hosted by lunarpages which offers mailman for free. I want to configure mailman so I can use it to send email to those who subscribe. I do not want subscribers to post to this list. I also do not need users to set up a password. How do I remove these options? I have looked through as many faqs as I can find, and reviewed the set-up panels...if you could point me to a specific set of variables that need to be answered 'yes' or … [View More]

rebuilding the mbox archives from pipermail *.txt files (with attachments)
by Derek Atkins March 30, 2004

March 30, 2004

I just gained ownership of a bunch of mailman lists but the previous owner destroyed the .mbox archives. He left the .txt files intact, so I have most of the actual archives online, but I'd really like to recreate the mbox files for my lists. I found a script that claims to rebuild an mbox from a pipermail .txt at http://lists.debian.org/debian-isp/2001/debian-isp-200111/msg00104.html but it fails to reintegrate any attachments in the email. Is there some better way to rebuild the mbox files … [View More]

no quotas for mailman, but Disc quota exceeded
by Tom Lieuallen March 30, 2004

March 30, 2004

Well, mailman is exonerated. :-) I am still 150% baffled, but the problem is not with mailman. Even with no quota or an exorbitantly large quota -- the problem persisted. At times, it was reproducible in a shell. Not mailman's problem. I suspect some bum solaris patches. :-( I finally shut everything down and moved it off the quota'ed file system. That ought to solve everything except my curiosity. Thanks for the suggestions... Tom Lieuallen College of Engineering

Give moderators access to member db?
by Paul H Byerly March 30, 2004

March 30, 2004

I have a group that want moderators to be able to manage the member section of the admin interface. I am guessing that the issue is modifying which passwords are accepted for membership tasks. Has anyone hacked this, or does anyone have any hints, suggestions or warnings before I dig into the code? <>< Paul

Need to send HTML email
by Sean Robertson March 29, 2004

March 29, 2004

I require the ability to send HTML email messages to an announce-only mailing list, but for some reason when I try, the messages never show up on the list. I can send it to myself, and it works just find, but when I send it to the list, it disappears. They're in the archive, but it just says "An HTML attachment was scrubbed." This is frustrating the hell out of me, needless to say, and I have to get this working ASAP, as it was technically supposed to have been done yesterday afternoon (ARGH!… [View More]
