fetchmail to mailman and pipermail
by Tilo Jandt 03 Aug '04

Hi, is it possible to get mail with fetchmail and send it to a local mailman mailinglist instead of deliver it to a local user? and another question: How could i change the design of the pipermail output? Where could i insert my css file that every page generated with pipermail will use this css file? cya, Tilo ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Notification to non-member
by Thomas E. Dukes 03 Aug '04

If a non-member posts to the list, is there a way to notify them their message has been sent to a moderator for approval? I have sent a post to mailing lists that I'm a member of but with the wrong email address (by mistake) and have received such notification. One list in particular is the list for Mondo Rescue using Mailman. TIA

creating new lists w/ virtual domains
by davidw＠dedasys.com 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

[ Please CC replies to me. ] Hi, I've been googling for a few hours and haven't seemed to hit on the answer. The problem (where 'example' is my domain): 1) From http://lists.example.com/cgi-bin/mailman/create how do I make it actually create a lists.example.com mailing list. The mails it send me are all along the lines of newlist(a)example.com. I have this in my config: MTA = 'Postfix' POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postalias' POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postmap' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = DEFAULT_HOST_NAME DEFAULT_URL_HOST = DEFAULT_HOST_NAME DEFAULT_SERVER_LANGUAGE = 'en' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['lists.example.com'] add_virtualhost('lists.example.com') And yet it just uses the version sans 'list' in front of it. Any ideas on how to turn this off? Thankyou, -- David N.

setgroups in mailmanctl
by Dave Stern - Former Rocket Scientist 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

I have two versions of mailman (2.0.13 and 2.1.5) with a technique to move and repoint some lists from the older to the newer. The newer has httpd running as user/group nobody and mm built --with-mail-gid=other. The webpage is accessible and sending mail to the lists works fine as well. check_perms checks out, partition with MM has SUID enabled. When running "$MAILMAN/bin/mailmanctl start", I see in the MM logfile Warning: unable to setgroups([14999, 14999]) (14999:14999 is user/group mailman) Can I safely ignore this message seeing how all functionality indeed works? (Is this a known bug? I see talk of the same type of prob within the archives but most appear to be where mail will not be sent out) TIA =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- generated by /dev/dave -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= David Stern University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies

Question
by Yves Bajard 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

I just transferred my m,ailing lists from Majordomo to Mailman 2.1.5, I had used Mailman under ans older version (two years ago) 1. The default is to reject messages sent in bcc. on which page and how do I change to accept messages in bcc from subscribers (implicit destinations) 2. Is there a way to import the majordomo archives from the previous list, or copies of messages to that list which i kept in one mailbox of my evolution 1.6 mailer? If so, how can I do it? 3. Do you have anywhere a detailed operation manual for Mailman 2.1.5? Thanks in advance Yves Bajard, Networking for a Common Future in Sustainability Society (NCFS)- Victoria, BC, Canada

Turning off re-subscription warning
by Robin Rowe 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

I have a mailman 2.1.5 list that has names being added one at a time by an intern. It isn't convenient to add these addresses as a mass subscribe. They need to be handled one at a time. The problem is mailman generates an unnecessary and alarming "you are being probed" message to the subscriber if the intern enters someone already on the list. How do I turn that message off or change it's contents? Thanks!

Sender not receiving copy of post
by Thomas E. Dukes 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

Hello, I just setup Mailman with a test list. I have subscribed myself using several email addresses. When I post a message, I do not get a copy of the post but the other email addresses do. I checked the preferences and it is set to receive a copy of the post. Is there something in the Admin area that needs to be set as well? TIA
