Hi there, Can someone suggest a solution for the following situation for the lists having hundred of users: ListA : userA1, userA2 ListB: userB1, userB2, userB3 userB1 is not a member of ListA, but both of the lists are hosted on the same domain under same administration and list members are allowed to interact. Is there anyway that userB1 without becoming the member of ListA can post message to ListA ?? Reason is that ListA is small and it is not desired that the messages posted over … [View More]

new list, slammed and hosed...
by Dr. Scott S. Jones Nov. 25, 2006

Nov. 25, 2006

I recently reopened a list for my wife's business. I have a few of my own lists. I NEVER get any unsolicited postings to my list, which has been up a few weeks, yet after 2 days of starting my wife's list, I am getting spammed, hosed and slammed by all sorts of dubious posts. Is there something that should be set in Privacy or otherwise, in my list versus the wife's new list, that it allowing all the crap in? Finally, both lists are moderated. What if i opened up my wife's list, and just … [View More]

I noticed that the feature request (which just arose here as well the other day) for a Web interface to sync_members is still open.

by Ken McMahon Nov. 24, 2006

Nov. 24, 2006

All of a sudden (I must have changed something, but I don't know what) the message body in my archives is scrambled It actually says this multipart/mixed multipart/alternative text/plain When I cut and paste it somewhere else. Can someone give me a gentle nudge in the right direction and explain to me what I might have f*&>ed up? Thanks Ken -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Mailman migration
by Jason Dixon Nov. 24, 2006

Nov. 24, 2006

I'm migrating the Mailman 2.1.5 installation on a RHEL server to Mailman 2.1.8 on OpenBSD. I transferred all of the files in /var/ spool/mailman over and checked permissions and symlinks. I've recreated all of the aliases on each server, as well as all of the Apache settings for mailman and pipermail. Is there anything I might be overlooking in the Mailman installation directory (/usr/local/ mailman on RHEL, /usr/local/lib/mailman on OpenBSD)? Thanks in advance, -- Jason Dixon … [View More]

Mailman and UTF8

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello folks, I think I wrote about this problem some time ago and thought I fixed that with your help. But acually I did not. :( I running a German list and so also have a German list archive. Now I moved my server to utf8 and tried to get Mailman to work with it. I have set all neccessary things in mm_cfg.py but it still did not work. So I found out, I have to encode the german mailman.po file in UTF-8 and then rebuild the *.mo out of it. Now … [View More]

subscription only via email?
by Zbigniew Szalbot Nov. 23, 2006

Nov. 23, 2006

Hello, Because I cannot offer http access to the machine where mailman is installed, I wonder if I can set the subscription process so that it is available only through email. I understand I will have to edit some templates with email texts (suggestions which would be welcome though hopefully I will find them) but should I take anything else into considertaion? Thank you -- Zbigniew Szalbot

encoding problem
by Zbigniew Szalbot Nov. 23, 2006

Nov. 23, 2006

Hello, I have a strange problem but it only affects Outlook. Whenever I send something to a test list that I created, Outlook displays it in iso-8859-2 encoding but the characterset is wrong. But when I change the display in outlook to Central Europe (ISO), the text is displayed correctly. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there something that can be done about it. Strangely, even when I send this message to yahoo, hotmail and so. No problem with a proper display in a browser. If … [View More]
