Multiple Domains
by Bob Escher May 29, 2004

May 29, 2004

I have been trying to set up mailman on my new linux box to no avail. The main concern that I have or need is to have several mailing lists but I need them under different domain names. I have tried adding these additional domains under mm-cfg.py and I must be doing something wrong. Is there someone out there that can send me specific examples of what I need to do I am running mailman 2.1.5 and xmail I would really appreciate it to see examaples rather then the FAQ I tried doing what it … [View More]

Installation Assistance
by John Wright May 29, 2004

May 29, 2004

Hey folks. I have been trying to install Mailman on a Linux box for a long while now and I am not getting anywhere. Like I said, it's a Linux server running Apache 2 and all of the lastest software installs. Could anyone recommend someone trustworthy to help install this on my server? I retain full admin SSH rights and setting up a temp SSH account won't be a problem. I might even offer some free web hosting to whoever can help. Anyway, I'd appreciate any help you kind folks could offer. John Wright Kentucky

Keep the old name, the name that's attached to the new box is for the time, once it hits production I'll reconfig for the old hostname. -------------------------------------… [View More]

Subject line in Invite feature
by Gwilym Griffith-Jones May 27, 2004

May 27, 2004

Hello, Does anybody know if it is possible to change the subject line when you use the 'invite' feature? Currently it uses a subject line like this 'confirm 06fe83d25ae0bdb0c55a2fc336da634c4ccdc957', I am worried people will treat it as spam due to it's random nature. -- Yours, Gwilym Griffith-Jones Designer ......................

Moving lists to new server
by Hurley, Michael May 27, 2004

May 27, 2004

Hey, I know this has been covered somewhat before--I've read archival posts on the subject and still am having problems (e.g. http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/). Here is the deal: Have to move 14 Mailman lists from one server to another. Old Box: Mailman 2.0.13-1; New Box: 2.0.14-18. I realize these are old. I'm hoping that is not the issue. So far I have: 0. newlist <listname> on new box; edited alias file. Tested list--it works. 1. Copied ~mailman/archive/… [View More]

Modifying From:-line
by Markus Peuhkuri May 27, 2004

May 27, 2004

We have several lists running mailman (thanks, great piece of work!). Now we have subscribers from organizations that have From:-lines of form From: <given.familyname(a)example.com> Those organizations run MS Exchange and the result is that they see postings from 'unknown sender' if the message was sent from one of those organizations. While the real problem is within those organizations (not having syntaxly correct 'real name' in From: field), I was wondering if it is possible to … [View More]

Adding a user via email

We have people who call us up and ask to be placed on our mailing list. Is there a way we can send an email command to the list that will then send out a confirmation request?
