join list - receive digest instead of regular via email
by Dave B Nov. 18, 2005

Nov. 18, 2005

I have a list set up where the default for joining is Regular. People sign up via a php form on our website that then emails to "listname-join(a)domain.org". I need to give them the option of receiving Regular or Digest in this form. Is there a way via email to join them to the Digest even though Regular is the default? Something along the lines of "listname-join-digest(a)domain.org"? I'd like to keep this as transparent to the end user as possible and not make them go the list web page … [View More]

having trouble getting webpages to come up
by Eric Evans Nov. 18, 2005

Nov. 18, 2005

Hello, I think I've finally gotten my Mailman installation setup, but when I try to access the administrative webpages through my browser I get the generic Apache page coming up instead of the Mailman admin page. I would assume that DocumentRoot has to be set in the httpd.conf, but to what? The Mailman documentation doesn't say anything about this. Thanks, Eric

confirming posts
by Hereward Cooper Nov. 18, 2005

We run a annoucment service mailing list for a university society, and are looking for a solution to the problem of posters not proof readings emails before posting. (usually missing out important details!) A simply step would be to get the poster to have to confirm his post once they had submitted it. Is there any ay of doing this in mailman? --Coops.

Setting up lists on a replacement list server w/ different name
by Greg Earle Nov. 17, 2005

Nov. 17, 2005

I'm trying to convert an existing Solaris list server (using MajorDomo) over to a Linux-based (RHEL 3) Mailman setup. The old machine is called "rushmore" and the new Linux machine is called "rushmorex". The idea is to replace "rushmore" with "rushmorex" (and change the name to be "rushmore") once all the pieces of the new machine are in place and working. I've got things going on the new box w.r.t. Mailman. I created a new mailing list (converting an old e-mail alias into a formal list) … [View More]

Can't run qrunner because of permissions problem
by Eric Evans Nov. 17, 2005

Nov. 17, 2005

Hello, Because I was having so much difficulty with my old, established Mailman installation on one of our Suns, I decided to try installing Mailman on a different machine to see if I get better results there. I've installed the latest version of Mailman but when I try running mailmanctl to start up the qrunner, I get the following message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/mailmanctl", line 547, in ? main() File "bin/mailmanctl", line 410, in main fp = open(… [View More]
