Using CSS to alter the look and feel of archives
by Henry Katz-Diego May 23, 2005

May 23, 2005

Hi, We're helping a friend who wants to change the mailman archives. We're using CSS to implement a three column design with a header. We've read the archive entries and FAQ which explain how to update the HTML. One thing we aren't certain of is placement of the closing </div> tags for each of the three columns. The closing </body> and </html> tags are included in archidxfoot.html. Are the closing </div> tags best placed in article.html, archtoc.html? Or, should … [View More]

Mark, Thanks. I already had all of that in mm_cfg.py prior to creating the list. The fix_url used in the withlist script fixed the problem with the initial mailing list "mailman", but the /mailman/create page still shows the form posting to the 8000 port. Any ideas about how to resolve this issue?

bouncing spams
by IOhannes m zmoelnig May 23, 2005

May 23, 2005

hi all. i have setup mailman, that it automatically discards emails that have a spam-level (assigned by spamassassin) above a certain threshold. this works very nicely. however, the bounce-adress (list-bounce(a)example.com) of my mailing-lists gets spammed too, and those mails are forwarded to the administrator as "unknown bounce messages". is there a way to apply header-filters that go to the bounce-adress (without tweaking my mta) ? or should i file a feature-request, that "discard"-… [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] mailman simply *stops* sending messages

Looks like the problem has been cleared up, thanks for pointing me to the digest file again Mark.. the message was somehow both in the qfiles and the digest, maybe sent twice because it apparently dissapeared the first time, anyway.. once I removed the message and its icky dirty accented e in the attachment filename from the digest and restarted mailman began merrily spewing messages again as though nothing had happened. How cute.

Setting sitewide defaults that can't be changed?
by Mike Alberghini May 21, 2005

May 21, 2005

I'm the admin of a Mailman server that is quickly running out of disk space. One of the solutions our fearless leader wants to implement is a sitewide limit on message size. I know I can set a default limit in mm_cfg.py, but the list owners can always change that. Is there a way to lock certain settings so that they cannot be changed by anyone except the site admin? -- Michael Alberghini Software Systems Engineer Georgia State University mike(a)gsu.edu
