I'm installing onto freebsd 4.x. I have mailman 2.2.5, latest tarball. reading the README.BSD file lead me to beleive that I did NOT need to SGID any directories in my mailmail install directory. So my install directory looks like this: drwxrwxr-x 13 mm mm 512 May 24 15:32 installDir -rw-r--r-- 1 mm mm 16 May 24 14:33 mailmanInstallation drwxrwxr-x 3 mm mm 512 May 24 15:32 var the user/group that mailman will be running as is mm:mm. running make DIRSETGID=: install chucked out the following message part way through: /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 sitelist.cfg /home/mm/var/mailman/data for p in email-2.5.5 JapaneseCodecs-1.4.10 KoreanCodecs-2.0.5; do gunzip -c ./$p.tar.gz | (cd . ; tar xf -); (cd ./$p ; umask 02 ; PYTHONPATH=/home/mm/installDir/pythonlib /usr/local/bin/python setup.py --quiet install --install-lib /home/mm/installDir/pythonlib --install-purelib /home/mm/installDir/pythonlib --install-data /home/mm/installDir/pythonlib); done tar: email-2.5.5/email/test/data/audiotest.au: Cannot open: File exists tar: email-2.5.5/email/test/data/msg_01.txt: Cannot open: File exists tar: email-2.5.5/email/test/data/msg_02.txt: Cannot open: File exists Am I totally missunderstanding the BSD instructions? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax: 480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"

Numbering postings
by Malcolm Swanson 25 May '04

Hi, I wonder if you can tell me if there's any way to add auto-numbering to the subject line of mailing list messages? I've searched around but can find no way to do it. Any help appreciated, Malcolm Swanson -- _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ The Language Teacher Online <http://jalt-publications.org/tlt> _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

[Mailman-Users] gid Problem after upgrade, lists want different gids
by Stefan Müller 24 May '04

24 May '04

Hi, After upgrading to Suse 9.1 I have the following problem: I set all the GID values to the values I had before (65533). When I create a new list via the web interface it wants to have a gid 67 (the actual gid of the mailman user). So I seem to have lists that require different gids. How can I setup mailman so that it creates 65533 mail lists or how can I change the existing lists into 67 ones? I read the FAQ but the things do not make sense. Since I seem to need two gids setting the id to either one does not help. I use postfix and used rpms to install everything.

Anyone have a server with 500+ lists that are at least semi active that can give me the amount of space used for the archives and how many years the archives date back to. Thanks Brian

search archive function
by Manny Tau 24 May '04

Just installed Mailman 2.1.5 into a RaQ 550 server (Linux, Apache). I'm aware of the Mail Archive web service, but want to keep things local on the server. I've also read the Mailman's FAQ's about htdig, mnogosearch, and the htdig patch. Is there a relatively easy way to install/integrate a search feature for the Mailman archives? thnx, Manny

downloading private archives in batch?
by karl＠freefriends.org 24 May '04

24 May '04

Has anyone happened to have written a script to allow downloading the archives of a private mailman list offline (not in a browser)? That is, you give the mailman username/password on the command line, it does the mailman authentication over http[s], remembers the cookie, and gets you the "full raw archives" (for example). It does not sound terribly difficult to write, but maybe no one has needed it :). I searched the documentation and FAQs and list archives and google, with no luck. Any pointers appreciated. Thanks, karl

Problem in subscription
by jhony＠goacom.com 24 May '04

24 May '04

Hi, My mailman version is 2.0.13. I have installed the above version and it works pretty fine execpt for one problem. The problem is 1. If I set the the privacy option to either confirm or 'confirm and approve', the mails are not send to the proposed subscribed address for the confirmation. In the subscribe log file I can see the pending request. But the mail never goes to the address, neither it comes to the admin address. All my cron entires are set properly. I tries the cron program running manullay also. However, if the option is set as ' require approval, it works fine. I tried this through web and throguh email also. Rest of the things like posting, adding memebrs directly thorough admin interface works fine. I couldn't find any error in the error logs also. Could some one please help me in this. Thanks Jhony

question
by Danielle Robarge 24 May '04

24 May '04

i'm sure you guys have better things to do than answer my silly question but i have searched and dug around for ages..! i have a Mailman listserv provided by Verve hosting - all is good but in the administration screens i cannot for the life of me find where to allow new users automatic approval. i don't want to go through approving them - would like them to sign up and immediately be allowed to post. i realize this may not be an option at all and i could be looking for an option that doesn't exist... wild goose hunt style. i can't find anything that tells me that either. thanks!! danielle r. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FACT: Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
