by jsingh April 1, 2004

April 1, 2004

Is there a way by which I can turn off the user's ability for set options. I would like for them to have the ability to retrieve his/her password , run who or unsubscribe but besides that I want no user intervention. Is this possible ? thanks Jaskaran Singh University Systems & Security Fairleigh Dickinson University 1000 River Road, Mail Stop TBH1-01 Teaneck, NJ 07666

SMART Archiver Interface Extensions Feedback PLEASE HELP!
by Iain Bapty April 1, 2004

April 1, 2004

Hey, I've been working on a few extensions for the SMART archiver revolving around creating a Zest-like interface which serves as a basis for a Wiki Page. This is my third year project at University and as part of the project I need to get some feedback from potential users.

I would appriciate a lot if a few people from here could spare a few … [View More]

Monthly Password Reminder Sent Twice
by Adam Kessel April 1, 2004

April 1, 2004

For quite a while now (more than year) mailman has been sending all monthly password reminders twice on my server. I am currently using mailman from Debian sid, version 2.4.1-1. I have checked all cron jobs and I can only find one call to mailpasswds. I.e., # grep -r mailpasswds /var/spool/cron/* /var/spool/cron/crontabs/mailman:0 5 1 * * /usr/bin/python -S /var/lib/mailman/cron/mailpasswds This problem has been discussed before and elsewhere: http://shorl.com/bebrigrukojeno http://… [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Uncaught runner exception: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range
by Derek Atkins April 1, 2004

Hi Jon, I'm running mailman-2.1.4 and I just received one of these exceptions this morning while mailman was sending out a reminder mail. So I'm not sure this bug is necessarily fixed as you suggested in October. My (2.1.4) trace is at the end of the message. -derek On Thu Oct 9 09:00:41 EDT 2003 Jon Carnes was reported to have said: > I'm fairly certain that there is a patch that handles this problem, but > you might want to simply update to the latest version of Mailman. > &… [View More]gt; I believe that problem is caused by a character that is out of range for > the expected values.

I'm still tring to configure mailman on my server. The problem seems to be if I try to send e.mail to the list.... Infact all the e-mail I send to the list is sent only to the list administrator. No mail is sent to members list.... But if I try (as a member) to "remember" password, for example, the email is sent regularly to member. Do you have any idea of what can be the pproblem?? In using a PC with no addree, I have only a fixed IP. ciaoooo ------------------------ PiCo ICQ # … [View More]
