by Simon Weil July 27, 2004

July 27, 2004

Hi Newsgroup, I've got a problem with the Mailman-installation. I installed Mailman as root on a RedHat 9-Server.

Dating Ring

July 27, 2004

I am building a dating system called Nerdlicious.com and I have a few questions: 1) I wanted to set it up so the emails of people posting to the group are covered up, but when members reply, it gets sent to the poster's email automatically - The replyer's email address is then revealed to that person only, and they can email from there if they are a good match. When I insert the reply address to use to cover up the anonymous posters' email address, I would guess I would lose that … [View More]

OS X Server 10.3.4 Issues
by James Hillhouse July 27, 2004

July 27, 2004

I could be wrong about this, but I recalled about a month or so ago coming across something on the Mailman site about issues for OS X 10.3.4 users. Mailman is broken now that I upgraded from OS X Server 10.3.2 to .4. I know this isn't your problem (it's Apple's), but if there is some fix, I'd love to hear about it. The error I get when creating a new mailing list using my browser is enclosed below.

New mailman admin questions
by Rob Stampfli July 27, 2004

July 27, 2004

I am a new administrator of a mailman 2.1.5 package on a Linux Fedora Core 1 box, as well as being new subscriber to this group, so my apologies in advance if my questions have been asked and answered elsewhere. I have looked through the FAQ at www.python.org (excellent document, btw) and didn't really find any answers to the following there. So... 1. Is it possible to cause 'config_list -i' to take input from stdin instead of a file? 2. I can force a list to be associated with a … [View More]

Probs with Mailman 2.1 & Redhat 9.0
by Alec Bennett July 27, 2004

July 27, 2004

I'm going crazy and wondering if anyone can figure this one out. I'm trying to get Mailman 2.1 running on Redhat 9.0, almost there, but still one humungous problem: none of the list emails get sent out, and nothing is recorded to the archives. Interestingly, administrative emails (subscription notifications, etc.) work fine. Anyone have any idea about this? Thanks tremendously for any help. ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/

FC1 update to 2.1.5 leaves me with -1 requests waiting
by Trevor Cordes July 27, 2004

July 27, 2004

I just updated my FC1 to the latest mailman version. I followed the instructions in the notice that said to stop mm first and start it again after. However, I seem to still be getting the "-1 requests waiting" bug. All my lists reported this last night. How can I clear this up? (I searched July's archives and google and found now reference to this???)

How to delete a thread or message.
by Tim Placek July 27, 2004

July 27, 2004

I am the manager of a list at Auburn University. When we initially configured our list we allows "anyone" to post to the list (without review). This produced several messages in one thread that we would like to delete. Is there any facility within Mailman for this operation? Thanks! Tim Placek -- Timothy D.
