New Subscriptions (2.1.5)
by A.Zeneski Aug. 31, 2004

Aug. 31, 2004

I have installed Mailman 2.1.5 used the mass add to subscribe a bunch of existing users, all received a confirmation regarding their subscription. However, when a new user subscribes no confirmation email is sent and since the list(s) require confirmation, none of the new users are getting subscribed. I look in 'logs/subscribe' and see a TON of pending requests, but none have been confirmed. I tested this myself with a different email address and sure enough I did not receive anything … [View More]

Status of RSS generated by mailman?
by Kirby Urner Aug. 31, 2004

Aug. 31, 2004

I'm reading docs, seeing details of a patch making its way towards acceptance, that would give us RSS feeds pointing pack into mailman archives. The trail sort of fades in 2003. https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=657951&group_id=10 3&atid=300103 The RSS feature isn't mentioned anywhere as included. Is it still viable to use the patch anyway? Is work on this dead for now? Kirby

Trouble Sending Attachments to MailMan Lists with Eudora 6
by Dave Bacon Aug. 30, 2004

Aug. 30, 2004

Hello, Last month we started to provide a MailMan (version 2.1.5) list for Public Libraries in Wisconsin. Sending messages with binary attachments (like Excel files) to MailMan lists with Eudora 6 seems to be problematic. The problem does not occur in testing with Netscape or Mozilla email clients. Many of our list subscribers stated that the attachment had become part of the text message as a large random table of text. Here is a sample of the problem: --=====================… [View More]

mailman 2.1.5 subject line problem
by Rimgaudas Laucius Aug. 30, 2004

Aug. 30, 2004

Hello, i installed mailman 2.1.5 on Linux (rh9). The problem is with letters where are used national characters (8 bit [#128..#255] from baltic cp Windows 1257 or ISOxxxx-13) in subject line. Mailman does not pass such letters (discards them without any message). Earlier version (2.0.14) had not such problem.

Scrubber features
by Kory Wheatley Aug. 30, 2004

Aug. 30, 2004

Does Scrubber have the capibility of allowing attachments through that are a certain size? I know once you configure Scrubber and put it in action in Mailman, it will strip every attachment. This will not work for me, I would like to have Scrubber only strip attachments if there over a certain size. Has anyone developed this in Mailman yet? -- Kory Wheatley Academic Computing Analyst Sr. Phone 282-3874 ######################################### Everything must point to him.

by Scott Howley (FSMB) Aug. 30, 2004

Aug. 30, 2004

I am attempting to send an HTML formatted newsletter using Mailman with MS Outlook as the client with no success; the HTML code is always stripped out. I have read the FAQ and searched the archives but have not found the solution to my problem. Has anyone had any luck with using Mailman and Outlook to send HTML formatted email? Any suggestions on solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
