Importing outside MHonArc'ed mailing list archives via Pipermail?
by Greg Earle Dec. 15, 2006

Dec. 15, 2006

I'm sure this is a FAQ someplace but couldn't find anything relevant. I've got an existing Mailman 2.1.9/Pipermail setup with the ht://Dig integration set up, and several mailing lists using it - all with their own existing archives using the built-in Pipermail. I've been asked to take over some mailing lists that are currently being hosted elsewhere. I can set up the lists easily enough but they'd also like me to integrate their archives for these lists as well, and it turns out they used … [View More]

Using a different archiver
by Paul Tomblin Dec. 15, 2006

If I switch to a different archiver (ie. not the bundled pipermail), is there any way to restrict the archives to members only? -- Paul Tomblin <ptomblin(a)xcski.com> http://blog.xcski.com/ Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and weigh only 1 1/2 tons. ---Popular Mechanics, March 1949

Slow Processing/Delivery
by Jason Rotunno Dec. 15, 2006

Dec. 15, 2006

Hi, We're experiencing some significant delays with our mailman lists. Some messages are delivered instantly, while others can take hours (or over a day) before it's delivered. For example, a message came in at 4:07am and was passed on to mailman for processing: Dec 13 04:07:43 cork postfix/nqmgr[30962]: 45D6040050: from=<XXXX@XXXX>, size=28307, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Dec 13 04:07:43 cork postfix/local[18473]: 45D6040050: to=<star@XXXX>, relay=local, delay=1, status=sent ("|/… [View More]

Setting language on e-mail subscribes?
by Steven Bonisteel Dec. 15, 2006

Dec. 15, 2006

Is there a command available via the e-mail interface to have a subscription request set the preferred language at the same time? We would like the language of the confirmation process and the eventual welcome message to be set to a preference selected by the user (in a front-end form) *before* they are actually members. So, basically, we want to do via e-mail what you can do in Mailman's own Web interface for subscriptions. (In this case, the Mailman server is not accessible to the sign-up site.)

additional Mailman Admin accounts
by Carconni Dec. 14, 2006

Dec. 14, 2006

Hi, Is it possible to create an additional Mailman admin account. I have a department director who want access over all his department's mailing lists. He wants to be able to use one username and password without changing the individual list passwords. Is there a way to do this? We can't give them the mailman account info so we need to find an alternative. Thanks

join script
by Christopher Adams Dec. 14, 2006

Dec. 14, 2006

A user had been sending subscription requests to the listname-join address and was being rejected. I realized that I hadn't even thought about mailman's alias addresses. So, I began to investigate and some user manual says that a user can send to the listname-join or listname-subscribe to request to be subscribed. I assume that means that no commands are sent, as is done with the listname-request address. So, I sent a message to the listname-join address of one of my test lists, with no … [View More]

User unsubscribing
by Alan McConnell Dec. 14, 2006

Dec. 14, 2006

I'm still using mm 2.1.5, still trying to get my ISP to pay attention . . . Anyway: I can test my E-list in various ways, because I'm subscribed from a couple of addresses, in addition to adminning it from the E-address you're getting this from. So: this afternoon I unsubscribed myself, using lynx, from one of my other addresses, because a member had written there was a problem. And my "unsubscribe" seemed to go through, and I got, at this address, a message from mailman-bounces that indeed "… [View More]
