Multiple Domains
by Bob Escher 29 May '04

29 May '04

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 suggested and I end up with all of my list under one domain. So a copy and a paste then I can understand it. Also there was a post somewhere about specific install instructions if you could repost it again Brad Thank you Thank you everyone for all the help Bob Escher

Installation Assistance
by John Wright 29 May '04

29 May '04

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. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users(a)python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/

Subject line in Invite feature
by Gwilym Griffith-Jones 27 May '04

27 May '04

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 27 May '04

27 May '04

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/private/<listname> from old box to new box 2. Copied ~mailman/lists/<listname>/* from old box to new box 3. chmod'ed and chown'ed where necessary to match other lists on new box 4. /mailman/admin/<listname> appears. Hooray. But when I try to authenticate for the admin interface, it just hangs and hangs. Sent another email to the list--nothing. I tried working with withlist to change path info in the new list's config.db--but my understanding of this is shallow at best. I think this is where the problem is, and where I need some help. Thanks. /*************************************** .-"""-.

Modifying From:-line
by Markus Peuhkuri 27 May '04

27 May '04

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 modify From:-field to be format From: <given.familyname(a)example.com> Given Family if the From:-field contains only <[-+,\w]+[.][-+,\w]+(a)[-+.\w]+> I quickly looked on sources, but could not identify correct location to try that. Sometimes it may be easier to modify source than big organization policy decissions... -- Markus Peuhkuri ! Markus.Peuhkuri(a)hut.fi HUT/Networking Lab. ! http://www.netlab.hut.fi/u/puhuri/

Adding a user via email
by Albert Clawson 27 May '04

27 May '04

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?
