Spanish language version
by Aaron Crosman Jan. 5, 2005

Jan. 5, 2005

I'm having a problem customizing the welcome message for a Spanish language list we are about to start on our server. This is an announcement-style list so I need to replace the standard message (so there are no posting instructions or password references). I have the message in the right spot, but when mailman sends the message the accented characters look like gibberish to the recipient. I thought it might be a problem with the client (Outlook in all test cases so far), but the messages … [View More]

by Alex Young Jan. 5, 2005

Jan. 5, 2005

I have been having a devil of a time with this error - anyone want to take a crack at it? I've already insured that my settings are as per documentation and looked extensively at FAQ's, but perhaps I've missed something along the way. It's a Debian install with python-dev as suggested in one FAQ -Alex Bug in Mailman version 2.1.5 We're sorry, we hit a bug!

Hello, We recently installed mailman on HPUX 11.0. I have not had trouble creating a list but when I attempt to post to the list the following error message is returned: " kdtest(a)ccshp.uccs.csus.edu on 12/3/2004 12:55 PM The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails, contact your system administrator. < ccshp.uccs.csus.edu #5.0.0>" The syslog entry is as follows: "Dec 3 12:55:12 ccshp … [View More]

Getting started
by Brenda Harp Jan. 5, 2005

Jan. 5, 2005

Hello, I used to have a list with mailman, but someone else set it up for me. When I changed servers I no longer used mailman. I would like to get another list set up through mailman again, since my current server is limiting my list options. Please let me know how to get started with a new list using mailman.

recreating archive from mbox
by Andrew Watson Jan. 5, 2005

Jan. 5, 2005

I am using the arch script to re-create some archives from the .mbox files. Although there were no posts in 2005, it creates a few archive entries for 2005. I am running arch in 2005, and suspect that it may use the current year when a date can't be identified for a post. But the question is why? Is arch unable to deal with some .mbox contents? This is happening with five different .mbox files, so it seems to be a systematic problem. The .mbox files were transfered via ftp, in either … [View More]

Removing attachment
by Guillaume Morin Jan. 5, 2005

Jan. 5, 2005

Hello, I would like to remove all attachments of the mails going to a specific mailing list. Browsing the doc and the faq, I have seen that we can block specific attachment, according to their MIME type, but I want to remove all of them. Can I do this with mailman ? Thank you, Guillaume Morin

Running Mailman with Cpanel, or on a different server
by Glen Low Jan. 5, 2005

Jan. 5, 2005

Dear All Apologies in advance if this is too newbieish -- I have consulted the online materials but to no avail. The web hosting company I use has Mailman configured for use under Cpanel. Unfortunately they have a rule which limits outgoing emails to 200 per hour. I know from online materials that it would be difficult to throttle the number of emails sent out, so I need to explore several alternatives. As I understand it, the Cpanel install creates a lists subdirectory for each … [View More]

Upgrade hell (Debian)

When I comment that line out (for grins), it balks on: from Mailman.Queue.Switchboard import … [View More]

Message-IDs
by Matthew A. Marshall Jan. 4, 2005

Jan. 4, 2005

Hello, I am wondering if anyone else is suffering from this same problem. Hopefully I can describe it well. We have a mailman server which sits on ncep.noaa.gov domain. However, we are advertising the lists as listname(a)noaa.gov. When an email is sent to listname-request(a)noaa.gov requesting addition to the list, the message is received by the mailman server. However, it is not processed. If the message is sent to listname-request(a)ncep.noaa.gov, the message is received by the … [View More]
