Backing up your mailing list
by Hujjah 313 Jan. 4, 2006

Jan. 4, 2006

Dear all, Is there a feature on mailman whereby we can backup our mailing list on hard disk? Its quite necessary to have a hard copy of your list when dealing with 10,000+ emails where people constantly want to subscribe and unsubscribe. Thank you for any replies. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN Search Toolbar now includes Desktop search! http://toolbar.msn.co.uk/

mail not being distributed
by Ira Rosenblum Jan. 4, 2006

Jan. 4, 2006

Messages that are being sent to my my group's mailing list (using Mailman 2.1.6) are not being sent to the list members, but they are showing up in the archive. They seem to be bouncing and causing members' bounce scores to go up. I don't know what is preventing the messages from going out. Can anyone please help?

Can I use my ISP's SMTP server?
by Eric Jan. 4, 2006

Jan. 4, 2006

Hello all, I've recently upgraded to mailman-2.1.6 from an older version. I currently host lists via a dynamic IP address, and because of reverse DNS lookup, many IPS's will not accept mail from my server because it is a dynamic IP. Is there any way to configure mailman to use my ISP's mail server instead of my own sendmail smtp MTA? Thanks! Eric

Hi All, I am setting up a mailman server running Debian sarge, exim4, and mailman 2.1.6 that supports several domains, and have run into a bit of a problem.

List Probe Problems
by mailbag Jan. 4, 2006

Jan. 4, 2006

Hi, For some reason, users who have bounced mails back, end up getting the probe email later - and it includes attachments with all the other bounced probe emails, which includes other user's passwords to the list. I haven't been able to track down the cause, nor have I found references to anyone else having this problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Jan. 4, 2006

When I try to invoke our Mailman installation in a browser (Firefox, although it doesn't work in IE either), via our corporate VPN (Netscreen-Remote on Windows XP), instead of displaying the page in the browser, it attempts to download a file. I see the message: ------------------------------------- You have chosen to open which is a: application/x-httpd-php from: http://mailman.ourcompany.com What should Firefox do with this file? -------------------------------------- (Note: the … [View More]
