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?

Hi, I am using the Mailman/pipermail/MHonArc integration patchs found
at http://www.openinfo.co.uk/mailman/index.html and have been seeing
the following issue. When I run bin/arch --wipe listname it correctly
builds the html for each month section unless there is only a single
message for the month. The output shows:
figuring article archives
2004-May
Warning: Could not parse date for message
Message-Id:
<f7589c774a9bf75f62148a712f1140fd(a)NO-ID-FOUND.mhonarc.org>
This only seems to happen if there is just one message for that month.
I also see the same error in the error log on all incoming messages
that are sent to the archiver.
Warning: Could not parse date for message
Message-Id:
<4173763d54406fe2a588db538ad84586(a)NO-ID-FOUND.mhonarc.org>
The message shows up in the html, but the subject and sender are
missing from the toc.
• [no subject] , Unknown - Sat May 01 14:28:54 2004
Also all of the header lines are missing from the message page. I just
get a heading of [no subject].
I am using mailman 2.1.4 with the following patches which all seemed to
apply cleanly.
modinc-2.1.4-0.1.patch
indexing-2.1.4-0.1.patch
htdig-2.1.4-0.1.patch
mhonarc-2.1.4-0.1.patch
Is anyone else seeing this issue? I have been beating on this for a few
days and any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
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.

I posted this one last week, but no response, yet. Any takers on this
one? I thought this was a fairly simple one -- or is it just
uninteresting?
Thanks.
Smith
----
I'm in the process of setting up a server with the following:
- Fedora Core 1
- Mailman 2.1.4
- Sendmail 8.12.10
- INN 2.3.5
Mailman, Sendmail and INN all have been installed from the .RPM
bundled with Fedora.
I'm doing this setup as an internal server, so I'm not exchanging
traffic with the Internet at larger.
Where I currently am is that I have Mailman working fine as a mailing
list server, and no problems at all with INN as a news server. I also
am not having any difficutly of getting mail to news.
However, where I am having difficulties is in getting messages
composed in news back to mail. In my mailman configs, I'm pretty much
running with default settings -- in fact, the only things I'm
specifying in my mm_cfg.py are the necessary settings for the server name.
I do have all the supplied activities running in the mailman user's
crontab, and those are running on the specified schedules.
The specific place where I'm having problems is when I run gate_news,
I'm getting no response, other than a single log entry in /var/log/cron:
Apr 27 15:00:01 bronze CROND[12436]: (mailman) CMD (/usr/bin/python -S
/var/mailman/cron/gate_news)
If I run gate_news from a shell prompt, I get a pause for a few
seconds, and then a new prompt, but no other output.
I've checked all of my logs, including /var/log/maillog and
/var/log/mailman/*, and there are no updates to any of these logs
following gate_news runs.
I also checked all the steps in the troubleshooting section (3.14) of
the Mailman FAQ. The only thing that turned up other than what should
be is that that a check_perms check showed that the permissions of the
files in /var/mailman/qfiles were incorrect. On the advice of
check_perms, I ran 'chmod 02775 *' on the directory. (These files
have owner:group set to: mailman:mailman ). I then restarted all the
mailman services by rebooting the machine. Following that, I'm still
having the same behavior.
What I'm missing has to be something small, but I'm not seeing it.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to configure Mailman to just send newsletters?
The documentation is kinda 0bfusT1c@t3d/non-existent when it comes to that.
