one mailman, multiple server names
by Jon D. Slater 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi, My server is set up to host 2 different domain names. (For argument I'll call them "First.Com" and "Second.Com"). When I set up mailman only "First.Com" existed, so it was easy to create lists: o Members(a)First.Com o Support(a)First.Com o Board(a)First.Com Now I need to create a new mailing for the second domain name. Like: o Members(a)Second.Com But I need Members(a)First.Com to be a completely different list than Members(a)Second.Com. Is this even possible? (If necessary I can make the list names unique [i.e. Members(a)First.Com and Everyone(a)Second.Com].) Thanks!

Hello, Other than setting the email address in the Privacy/Subscription section, is there anything else that needs to be done? It isn't working and the member was able to be subscribed. Any suggestions? --Rae

Add *acc-overview(a)chase.com* to one of these sender filters: Discard 2. Ban *acc-overview(a)chase.com* from ever subscribing to this mailing list I wonder if Mailman automatically discards mails frm *acc-overview(a)chase.com * ??? -- www.Shillong.com

Just leave those things out of the input file. The input file only needs to mention those attributes you want to change. >Can you apply the configuration to multiple lists in one command - >./config_list -i newconfig list1, list2, list3...? No. You have to create a shell script or similar to invoke config_list on each list, one at a time. >And lastly, I am running this on a Mac OS X 10.3.9 server and have two >files in my /bin directory - one is ./config_list and the other is >./apple_config_list. They seem to do the same thing. Is there a >difference? Do you need to use the ./apple... on OS X? I don't know the answer to that one. Maybe there's another OS X server Mailman user on this list that does. -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

On some mailman lists there is a "total archive" that can be downloaded, not just the montly files. How do I get that on my list? /Par -- Par Leijonhufvud par(a)hunter-gatherer.org Some people are like slinkeys.

web list removal

Hi, I have a 2.1.5 Mailman (Fedora RPM compiled version), and dont see anywhere the link for list removal. Would you help me to find it? I know how to remove lists from the CLI, but the ML manaer wants to do it through the web interface. Thank you. -- A powerfull GroupWare, CMS, CRM, ECM: CPS (Open Source & GPL).

Error - Connection Refused.
by Michael Duffy 29 Nov '05

Hellp all, I'm new at this, the person who generally does this for me has buggered off. Here goes. I've just installed mailman on a freebsd 6 machine, running with qmail. Everything *seems* to be working except that posts are not delivered, and the following entry is made in to mailman's smtp log. Nov 28 11:02:20 2005 (720) Low level smtp error: (61, 'Connection refused'), msgid: <mailman.0.1132772599.623.celebration(a)harvest-moon.org> Nov 28 11:02:20 2005 (720) delivery to cosgrach(a)an-mhorrigan.net failed with code -1: (61, 'Connection refused') No entry in made in to the qmail mail log. Any ideas?

Quick question ..
by Rob Poe 28 Nov '05

I'm running Mailman for a list, and one of my subscribers is getting this message from spamalert.net (VIRUS) Re: [CWC] Fuel Tank Removal Received: Wednesday, Nov 23, 2005 at 9:03pm To: *******(a)*******.com (removed) <mailto:mjpuetz@copper.net> From: <******(a)*******.com <mailto:danriffle@yahoo.com>> Description: Outlook "CR" vulnerability This message was deleted and cannot be retrieved. He said if the person sends directly to him, he gets the message just fine. It's when it bounces through Mailman that it picks up this error.. I'm perplexed now. :/
