LDAP, Qmail, and Mailman...
by Josh Gibbs Feb. 22, 2006

Feb. 22, 2006

Greetings, I am embarking on my first install of Mailman, and after reviewing the Installation Manual I am wondering if it will work with my particular setup: Fedora Core R4, using OpenLDAP 2.2.23, and Qmail. I did not set this machine up, and I am uncertain what complications LDAP is going to create. Any words of advice would be much appreciated! Thanks. -Josh

Non-member posting

Hi all, I looked through the faq but didn't the answer - perhaps I'm missing what's too obvious. Anyway - how do I make an existing list open for non-members to post to. (I'm doing a list for tournament managers which should also act as a "helpdesk"). Regards, Martin S

Removing Disabled List Members
by David Andrews Feb. 21, 2006

Feb. 21, 2006

I was under the impression, which may be wrong, that when a list subscription was disabled due to bounces, then a period of time passed, without the subscription being renewed by the user, that his/her address was automatically removed from the list. Am I wrong. This isn't happening with my system. I run some 80 lists, many of which are years old, so these things are starting to add up. Dave David Andrews and white cane Harry.

From address format question
by Jonathan Larsen Feb. 21, 2006

Feb. 21, 2006

Why is it that in outlook, when I get an email from mail man that it puts; listname-bounces(a)hostname.com on behalf of ME [myemail(a)hostname.com] Shouldn't it just be the listname? Or if this is normal can someone explain it to me. I've been left with this duty of figuring out every odd and end of mailman to tell my managers and they don't like the fact that it does this. Not that it matters to any of you but. ya.. hah anyways, any help is much appreciated. "If i was a rabbit, i would … [View More]

Mailman drops some information in Content-Type
by Peppo Brambilla Feb. 20, 2006

Feb. 20, 2006

Hi folks, some of my users complained about wrapped URIs in mails they have send to a mailman lists. The problem seems to me that mailman is dropping the format and delsp parameters (s. http://www.rfc-archive.org/getrfc.php?rfc=3676) which the mail clients add to the text/plain format. An example is given below. So far I haven't found any configuration option which does the trick. Is there's a way to keep mailman from dropping these parameters or does mailman not support these parameters?… [View More]
