mailman virtual applicance?
by Sean Murphy Dec. 14, 2006

Dec. 14, 2006

Hi, I would like to install a mailman list server on a machine with as little difficulty as possible - a nice way to do this, I think, is using the virtual appliance idea - has anyone created a mailman virtual appliance for VMWare or for Xen? Thanks, Seán.

Mailman 2.2.x - If and When?
by bmills＠charter.net Dec. 13, 2006

Dec. 13, 2006

One last question :) I need to know whether to tell my Mailman server admins to apply the patch now or maybe hold out for 2.2.x. So is 2.2.x happening ( the site says it might not. ), and if so, whats the ETA for the release?

by bmills＠charter.net Dec. 13, 2006

Dec. 13, 2006

Thanks Mark! Is there any plans on including the functionality of the patch in later builds of Mailman? Perhaps 2.2.x? Brandon ---Original Message--- bmills(a)charter.netwrote: > >Is this possible? In what ways is it possible? Can I make it so CHILD1 can post to MAIN? Can I make it so that CHILD1 can post to CHILD2?

Problems with having to authorize
by Joseph Richardson Dec. 13, 2006

Dec. 13, 2006

Hope some one can help. I am taking care of two mailing list. I installed one, and a friend installed and set up the other. I have set all of the admin settings the same. The one my friend set up is working fine. The one I set up works except for the fact that I have to authorize every piece of mail that is sent. I have both set up with a calendar to send reminders and that is the one that I don't want to have to authorize. Can anyone help? Mark R. Don't accept average habits, open your … [View More]

is the arch utility missing in OSX server mailman installation?
by Larry Dieterich Dec. 13, 2006

Dec. 13, 2006

Hi there. New to this list and new to Mailman. I successfully set up a Mailman list using the installation on OSX Tiger Server. Very cool software. A longtime majordomo user, I am impressed with Mailman. I wanted to edit the archives and was able to edit the listname.mbox file to remove the stuff I didn't want. When I tried to run the arch util to rebuild the html archive from the edited .mbox, the arch command gives no joy. Arch returns the architecture of the Mac hosting the list. … [View More]

Umbrella List question
by bmills＠charter.net Dec. 12, 2006

Dec. 12, 2006

Hi everybody, I'm new to managing Mailman lists, so please forgive my ignorance. :) I have an umbrella list with 4 lists that its serving. Let's call the main list MAIN, and the child lists CHILD1-CHILD4. My problem comes in the form of permissions. I want members of CHILD1 to be able to post to MAIN, or maybe directly to one of the childs, like CHILD2. Right now, I have a giant list of user e-mails from other lists in "Accept_These_Nonmembers". What I'd like instead is to accept the lists … [View More]

Turning off unsubscription confirmation
by Ben Swihart Dec. 12, 2006

Dec. 12, 2006

Hello, Because we are unable to stop mailman from delivering e-mail command results to our subscribers, we have gone back to a confirmation system whereby an e-mail is sent to users when a subscription request is made. However, we feel that unsubscription confirmation is uncessary and the unsub e-mail is basically an extra step. How do you turn off the unsub confirmation e-mail and keep the sub confirmation e-mail? Thank you, Ben

Dec. 12, 2006

I could use some pointers in my conversion from Listproc to Mailman. I am also going from a Solaris machine to a Redhat Linux. I am very very new to Unix, Linux and could use some help in my conversion over to the new machine with Mailman. How exactly can I get my old Listproc Lists merged over to this new mailman machine. How does mailman get its address? What will happen to my old address of the old list when created with the new list? Can I keep them the same?? Pardon my … [View More]

Pipelining with Mailman?
by matt＠rocafella.org Dec. 12, 2006

Dec. 12, 2006

Hi all, I am in the process of converting an old script that reads thru a text file and sends an email to a few thousand people (this is a legit business opt-in newsletter). I have a question regarding pipelining, etc. If my mailing list has 600 subscribers from domain.com, will Mailman combined with my MTA (Postfix) pipeline all of these messages that are destined to the same domain? From what I understand, it will do this and send all of these messages with one unique Message ID, instead … [View More]

Filtering on subject prefix
by Gordon Moyer Dec. 11, 2006

Dec. 11, 2006

I am running mailman 2.1.9 and I'd like to auto discard list emails with a subject prefix of "***SPAM***" (this is being done by spamasassin). I've been looking for rule documentation, and haven't been able to find any. Can anyone tell me what the rule would look like that would filter on this subject prefix? ...Or maybe someone can point me toward any rule documentation that exists. Thanks for any help.
