mailman directory?
by Matt Singerman July 4, 2005

Hi all, I installed Mailman on a FreeBSD system from the ports collection; however, I cannot get the webpages to display properly. The mailman directory does not appear under the document root. Where can I find the necessary files, and how do I configure this properly? Thanks, Matt

Is there a way to search private list archives in Mailman? I thought I had seen something about patches but it seems that link has disappeared on me. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Helps protect you from nasty viruses.

Multiple subscription requests and reminders
by Bruno Ferreira July 3, 2005

July 3, 2005

Hi! I have a mailman 2.1.5 installation on a FC1 Plesk-administrated server. The problem I'm having is that subscription confirmation e-mails arrive in duplicate or quadruplicate (!!!!). Plus, subscription reminders come in even larger quantities. The "subscribe" log shows apparently independent subscription requests, so I'm kinda stumped on what's causing this. The MTA is qmail and seems to be working fine for several domains hosted on this machine. Has anyone had this problem, and … [View More]

postfix and mailman issues
by Michael GIbbs July 1, 2005

July 1, 2005

Greetings, I have been trying to integrate Mailman 2.1.6 with Postfix 2.2.4 with no luck. I have followed the instructions on the Mailman website for Postfix, and I have installed Postfix-style Virtual Domains. The lists domain name used is different then the mail servers actual domain. When I send mail to <username>@virtual-domain.com, it gets sent to the right mail address (which is NOT located locally). If, however, a mail is sent for an alias under mailman <list&… [View More]gt;@virtual-domain.com, I get the following: Jun 30 02:11:05 mail postfix/smtp[27605]: E7118340227: to=<|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post gamer(a)domain.com>, o rig_to=<gamer(a)virtual-domain.com>, relay=mail.domain.com[ipaddress removed], delay=1, status=bounced (host mail.domain.com[ipaddress removed] said: 550 5.7.1 <"|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post gamer"@domain.com>...

Messages don't getting distributed (2.1.6)
by Fernando Schapachnik July 1, 2005

July 1, 2005

Hi, I have a 2.1.6 installation with many mailing lists. In one of them messages are not getting distributed. Looking through the archives, it seems that I might be hitting a malformed mime message (http://msgs.securepoint.com/cgi-bin/get/mailman-users-0506/48.html). That post says that the problem is corrected in 2.1.6, so I'm not sure it is the same (I'm using python-2.3.4). What I see is: --- LOG --- Jun 30 11:34:33 2005 (86236) Uncaught runner exception: 'ascii' codec can'… [View More]

Using Mailman for multiple Customers
by Samuel Figueroa July 1, 2005

July 1, 2005

Hi, we offer web space and etc. to our customers, and would like to offer them a free mailing list to go with that as well. The problem I'm having with Mailman is that I can't seem to find out how to set it up so that every customer gets his Mailman front end in the design of his website. I know I can use virtual hosts to change the domain, but I also want to change the appearance of Mailman for each customer/domain. Greetz Sam
