Help sending to multiple lists
by Andy Bardwell Jan. 5, 2006

Jan. 5, 2006

I am working with a community radio station which has multiple lists in Mailman that are used to contact volunteers. A volunteer can be on several of the lists. We frequently want to send to all volunteers. Is there a way to send to all the lists, with out duplicates? One way this could happen would be to merge all the lists, eliminate duplicates, and send to the resulting list. Is there a script that will do this or some other way of accomplishing sending an email to multiple lists … [View More]

sorting out bounces
by Eric S. Johansson Jan. 5, 2006

Jan. 5, 2006

I recently merged together a bunch of mailing list from different machines onto one. When the monthly notices were sent out, all of the bounces went to one address. Is it anyway to set up mailman so that bounces go to the list owner and not the general mailman address? Many thanks ---eric

by Michael Berkowski Jan. 4, 2006

Jan. 4, 2006

Greetings All, I have just joined this list and I hope that I am not cluttering it up with an easy or common question. I have spent quite a bit of time searching Google, the list archive, and FAQ without success for the answer. I work for a library organization which runs ~100 different lists for various library and reference resources. These lists are moderated by a few dozen individuals. I have recently implemented SpamAssassin with Mailman on our server, using the spamd.py and … [View More]

Two questions
by Bob Tourkow Jan. 4, 2006

Jan. 4, 2006

Hello everyone, My organization makes extensive use of multiple Mailman lists, and I am involved in the administration of a couple “easy” lists. But there are two things I would like to do that I can’t seem to find out how to do. Maybe one of you can tell me what to do. 1. (Seemingly simple question) How can I print out a complete list of the names and email addresses of all members of the list? 2. I have a list that was once used for a one-time mailing, and I now need to remove … [View More]

Question about ban_list...
by Glenn Sieb Jan. 4, 2006

Jan. 4, 2006

Let's say I want no users on a mailing list from sitename.com. So, I have a ban_list address of: ^.*(a)sitename\.com Is this the correct form of RegExp? If not, could someone give me a pointer? Thanks in advance!
