hardware spec for 5000 user lists
by Ryan Northey June 29, 2004

June 29, 2004

hi there, i have been asked by client to provide 5 x 5000 user mailing lists. I believe they are to be used as announce lists. I expect to use either postfix or qmail as the MTA, probably the former. I was wondering if anyone has experience of using high-volume mail lists and could recommend a minimum hardware spec that i would require to run all these lists on the same server. I would also appreciate any advice/guidance on specific issues i might need to consider or avoid, and what might … [View More]

June 29, 2004

I'm looking for a good book on mailman that will explain setting it up and day-to-day operations involved with mailman. I've searched Amazon.com and O'Reilly.com and not had any luck finding one. Can anyone give me any recommendations for a good book to help me work with mailman?

listowners list?
by Steve Portigal June 28, 2004

June 28, 2004

I found this post in the archive, but no response. I'm also not getting anywhere with listowner.org - the domain is active and last was changed in January. I have been using majordomo for many many years and am a couple of days into my first mailman list, as a customer of an ISP, and I'm looking for an appropriate resource to configuration help from my level (i.e., not the system access that the folks here are oriented towards). Thanks so much for any info Steve -------------- From: … [View More]

E-mail in different domain than list server?
by Alan Hagge June 28, 2004

June 28, 2004

We have a situation that I wouldn't think would be TOO unique, but I can't find a way to make it operate correctly under Mailman (version 2.1.5 in this case, but tried with 2.1.1 as well). Specifically, our e-mail domain is completely different than our web domain: E-mail domain: company.com Web domain: org.othercompany.net So in mm_cfg.py, I _think_ I should use: DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'org.othercompany.net' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'company.com' # Because we've … [View More]

This is extremely frustrating because this is a primary form of communication for my … [View More]

Migration to a new server - issues
by Josh Harding June 28, 2004

June 28, 2004

Hello, I recently migrated mailman from our catch-all server to a dedicated listserv server. The process I used was as follows: 1.) Create lists on new server based on list_lists on old server 1.) Stop mail on old server (Postfix stop) and new server 2.) Insert temporary redirect away from web interface on old server 3.) Rsync /var/lib/mailman/lists and /var/lib/mailman/archives from old server to new server 4.) Change DNS and setup forwards from the old server for people slow to update … [View More]

RE: [Mailman-Users] Mailman browswer question - initial set up

Tokio, I think that did the trick! I added your suggestion to my mm_cfg.py file and now I get the Mailman welcome page! I can even get to the page where you create new mail lists! Thanks to all! Let's see how much further I can get - it has definitely been a learning experience!
