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.

BTW how can I add taglines, i.e. random strings picked frpm a text file
where they lies every one on a separate line. ALmost every list manager
has tag lines administration, but I did not find them in mailman...

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!!!

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?

Even Cpanel should let Mailman dump out the user lists for you. There
is a Mailman commandline that specifically does that (list_members).
The command to dump out your configuration to text is config_list.
Your admin can dump the config out, edit the fields that change (URL and
default host names - the list name, if that changes) then simply create
a list with the same name and upload the config file using config_list
again. It's almost a "no brainer" once you read the help that comes
with config_list.

I had Mailman working fine with Sendmail up until I enabled SMTP-AUTH in
Sendmail. The messages get to Mailman but are not delivered to the list
members anymore because Mailman does not authenticate. Disabling
SMTP-AUTH is not an option as we are an ISP and have users that require
email on the road and such, and we do not wish to be blacklisted as an
open relay.
There aren't any messages in the archive that deal with this
specifically, so my question is what EXACTLY do I have to do to get it
to work with SMTP-AUTH. I have included my sendmail.mc file for
review. I am running Fedora Core 1 with the latest stable versions of
Sendmail and Mailman. Mailman is set to deliver to SMTPdirect if that
is any help.

Can someone please let me know how to intergrate spamassassin with Mailman?
Running both 2.1.4 and 2.0.13 on different servers.

We're seeing the footer coming along as an attachment on some end-users
systems.
I saw a FAQ entry for this behavior with 2.0.x. We're running 2.1.4 and the
FAQ article specifies that it is fixed in 2.1.x.
Anyone know what is going on?
Thanks,

I want to set up an announce only list and I have fixed the HTML in the
public info pages so that the "To post a message to this list..."
message is gone. How can I do that in the confirmation e-mail that gets
sent to subscribers?
Thanks,

Hi all,
I have a problem to register to mailing lists managed with gnu mailman. I think it comes from the way my free email provider writes the subject line content but I'm not sure.
I copied below the email I sent to the gnu mailman server using the first "reply" method and the answer I got back from it. I did not use the second "single line in the message body" method because my email provider automatically adds a few extra lines at the end of my emails (advertisement for its ADSL internet service).
Since this is not the first time this problem occurs to me, with different gnu mailman servers, I thought it might be of interest. If you need more information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help,
David.
