Large Installations
by Art Zemon May 26, 2004

May 26, 2004

Folks, I am considering moving a large-ish Lyris ListManager installation to Mailman. Right now, we are running 435 lists with an average of 97 subscribers per list. The largest lists have over 7000 subscribers. We are processing a bit under 200 list messages per day which comes to a bit under 20,000 outgoing email messages per day. If you have experience with a large Mailman installation that is similar to this, please let me know how it is running and what you are running it on (e.g., … [View More]

Sudden mass of unsubscribe notices?
by Sean Robertson May 26, 2004

May 26, 2004

An email was sent out through our email list two days ago, and just now I got 33 unsubscribe notices. The notices offer no explanation of whether the users did it, an admin did it, or it was some kind of automatic process. Is there any way to find out? What could cause it to suddenly delete 33 subscriptions all at exactly the same time two days after the last newsletter went out? Needless to say, this is a rather critical issue.

Announcement + HTML
by Kobus Myburgh May 26, 2004

May 26, 2004

Hello, Can anybody point me to documentation with regards to how to set up mailmail (2.1.3) to function as follows: 1) Be an announcement only list (only admins may post to the list) 2) On replying to a mail you received, it replies to -unsubscribe (this seems to work already!) 3) Be able to send HTML attachments, and how do I send that attachment properly so that it will automatically open as HTML on e-mail clients that support that, i.e. outlook-ish clients. We don't want the user to have … [View More]

Strange group mismatch error
by Brandon Dudley May 25, 2004

May 25, 2004

I'm tryign to add a new list to an existing server, and have entered a weird cycle of mismatch errors. Every time I rerun configure to change a GID, it breaks either my old lists, or the new list I'm trying to add. one list in particular wants to be GID mailman, but the new list wants to be nobody. How can I break the cycle such that all lists require the same GID? (hopefully mailman)? check_perms doesn't help. I deleted and recreated the new list a couple of times to see if that helped, … [View More]

Bounce
by wilmalewis＠comcast.net May 25, 2004

May 25, 2004

I have been using this program on my site for about 10 months now, without a problem. Last month almost all e-mails started bouncing for no apparent reason. I've told subscribers to put the address on their "safe" list, but it doesn't seem to do much good. Does anybody else has this problem, and what can I do about it? I've tried to reinstall, but that didn't work either. Thanks, Wilma
