HA: making lists private from command line
by lkolchin＠univ.haifa.ac.il Aug. 23, 2005

Aug. 23, 2005

Hello Mark, Thanks for your reply. All I did is: ./config_list -i /var/lib/mailman/data/mailman_config_new.txt mailman My additional question is: Where these configurations saved (in the DB maybe?), in what files exactly? P.S. for the first and the second question, value should be equal to 1. # legal values are: # 0 = "Poster" # 1 = "This list" # 2 = "Explicit address" reply_goes_to_list = 1 ## Archive options # # List traffic archival policies. # Archive messages? # # legal … [View More]values are: # 0 = "No" # 1 = "Yes" archive = No # Is archive file source for public or private archival? # # legal values are: # 0 = "public" # 1 = "private" archive_private = 1 Additional values I've found for securing privacy of mailman widesitelist for example: # Advertise this list when people ask what lists are on this machine? # # legal values are: # 0 = "No" # 1 = "Yes" advertised = True Best regards, Leon Kolchinsky ________________________________ От: Mark Sapiro [mailto:msapiro@value.net] Отправлено: Вт, 8/23/2005 1:04 Кому: ???? ????'?????; mailman-users(a)python.org Тема: Re: [Mailman-Users] making lists private from command line <lkolchin(a)univ.haifa.ac.il> wrote: > >1) Is there a way to make list private and turning archiving off. from command line? Or make the archives private from command line? You can do this from the command line with bin/config_list bin/config_list --help for help. bin/config_list -o filename listname To see the output from the existing list 'listname' which will show you the form of the required input. Only attributes you want to change need be in the input file. >2) I'm used to lists (using some lists from another sites) configured in such a way, so when I press "Reply" button in my e-mail client in the "To" line there is the "list e-mail address" an not only e-mail of the person who's wrote this mail. In the default configuration I believe I have to push "Reply All" button to send the reply to the list, and the system (of mailman) knows to send this reply only once to the person who's wrote this original message (correct me if I wrong). Actually, it's up to the user whether or not to receive a post from the list if he/she is a direct addressee, but the default is as you say. >How to configure this behavior I'm used to? Set reply_goes_to_list to "This list" -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan [View Less]

Hello, You didn't have to cp /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin /var/www/cgi-bin. For Fedora, you have to make these changes in apache config: ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ <Directory /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ <Directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/public> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride … [View More]None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> # Uncomment the following line, replacing www.example.com with your server's # name, to redirect queries to /mailman to the listinfo page (recommended). # RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo May be you should first try to follow step-by-step, this tutorial: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialMailman.html It's concerning your distribution particulary.

Feature idea: List-Msg-Archive header
by Jim C. Nasby Aug. 23, 2005

Aug. 23, 2005

Many times I find myself wishing that one of the headers that mailman appends would give me a URL I could go to to get that exact email in the archive. I know there's often a delay between mail being sent and showing up in the archive, but it seems like a good error message should handle that situation... -- Jim C.

migrating from sourceforge list archive to mailman
by Tomasz Chmielewski Aug. 22, 2005

Aug. 22, 2005

I wanted to migrate a list stored on sourceforge.net to mailman kept on my site. It's about 300 messages. It seems that there is no easy way of doing that, and I'll have to open each mail stored on sourceforge.net, copy it's contents, sender, and date, and send it to a new mailman installation (with the appropriate From:, date, and subject/body) - all 300 mails manually. Did anyone already migrate from a list stored on sourceforge.net, and if so, could somebody give me some hints on how … [View More]
