Hi Mailman, I am interested to learn mailman in order to replace the old majordomo; I have spent time long enough in your website but can not see any information of how to install the mailman and configure it work together with postfix. I am using redhat 7.2 with apache 1.3 please help.

Is there a way to set up the options so that when the posts go out to the list, it shows the person's email address in the "To" field instead of the list name? Thank you. Paul Levin plevin(a)wpl.net

I am using your mailing list through my ISP. I am the administrator of a mailing list. Can you please tell me how can I get the list subscribers to the mailing list without going through the control panel and looking the list alphabetically? Thanks. Naz Madhani

Is it possible to run mailman off of multiple sites? Maybe make the DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST, DEFAULT_URL_HOST dynamic based on the site? Also, how do I recompile the cgi scripts?

Is it possible to create a custom field in the mailman database? My subscribers will have an e-mail address, full name, and an ID number. The ID number is what I need to add. Thanks, -Brendan

Question

27 May '04

When someone subscribes to a list. They get the message saying that they will receive an email letting them know when they are approved. But the list admin never gets a request, and the client never gets an email either. When I look into the log, it shows all the people that have tried to subscribe, and it just says they are all pending...... (This is on an OSX server) Please help......John Schragg (SPARCC)

Dunno, I'm new to mailman myself. Just today, in fact. For some reason, Mailman isn't recognizing your list. Try list_lists in your mailman/bin to see if mug is actually there.

Approval message loops around and is seen as a bounce
by Brett Thorson 26 May '04

26 May '04

I just upgraded mailman from 2.0.something to 2.1.5. Everything went really well (thanks, that was great). However, I am running into one weird even that is occurring. When a non-user sends a message that requires approval. The approval message gets sent from listname-owner to listname-owner. This address because of the setup I have actually gets routed off the box and then returns. And I think it is the returning to the box that makes mailman think that the message actually bounced. It seems to me that mailman should replace the To:listname-owner with the actual address of the list owner. Below is the (Bounce message (approval message (message to approve))) encapsulated messages that have me mostly puzzled. Any help? Thanks. --Brett From: mailman-bounces(a)ihavechangedthedomain.org To: stan-test-owner(a)ihavechangedthedomain.org Subject: Uncaught bounce notification Date: Tue, 25 May 2004 16:08:15 -0400 The attached message was received as a bounce, but either the bounce format was not recognized, or no member addresses could be extracted from it.
