More Htdig problems
by Dragon March 10, 2006

March 10, 2006

I finally got Htdig to compile on my system, I tested it out and it works. I added the proper settings to mm_cfg.py in my patched version of Mailman 2.1.5 to enable using Htdig. I then rebuilt my archives using bin/arch --wipe and ran the nightly_htdig script to index everything. So far so good, it's all happy up to this point. I get the search form on the archive index page and I can do a successful search. But then a strange thing happens when a new post arrives on the list. As soon as somebody posts, the search form disappears from the index page. It's just gone. I can rebuild the archive and re-index things and it works again. I am using customized templates for my archive pages though I don't see how that might matter. Anyone have any insight into what might be causing this?

Memory usage
by James Davis March 10, 2006

March 10, 2006

Many thanks for the help with my previous problem. During the last run of posting to my large list my server crashed due to lack of memory. I thought this was due to a change to the exim configuration I'd made but observations on today's run indicate that it was mailman's python process taking up all the memory. What can I do to decrease or limit the memory mailman uses whilst running? I don't particularly mind if this comes at the expense of performance.

list moderation via email
by Andre Tann March 10, 2006

March 10, 2006

Hello, Is it possible to accept and reject mails and memberships by email? The only way I can find is to go to the list web site. But I am thinking about something like the confirmation mail one gets when trying to subscribe to a list. I haven seen this feature at yahoogroups.com, and I find it a very useful and fast way to care about a list. -- Andre Tann

Re: [Mailman-Users] 1 email for multiple email-list recipients onsame server?
by Allan Hansen March 9, 2006

March 9, 2006

I run a bunch of lists and have set up a special 'all_subscribers' list that I maintain with a cron job that runs every night. The cron job runs the following script: the file list_of_all_lists contains the names of all the lists I want to include with this 'all_subscribers' list. ######## #!/bin/bash touch /tmp/all_subs for i in $(cat list_of_all_lists) do /usr/share/mailman/bin/list_members -f --nomail=enabled $i >> /tmp/all_subs done cat /tmp/all_subs|sort -u > /tmp/all_subs.sorted /usr/share/mailman/bin/sync_members -f /tmp/all_subs.sorted all_subscribers > /dev/null rm /tmp/all_subs /tmp/all_subs.sorted ########## Sending to this list causes the post to go to each subscriber of any list just once. I have another list that combines a subset of the lists similarly.

link to archive in email?
by Steve Ravet March 9, 2006

March 9, 2006

I'd like to configure Mailman to add a link to the footer of each post that points to that post in the archive. My thought is that this will make it easier for people to refresh their memory of the context of the thread before replying. I spent a couple hours reading FAQs and searching the archives of this list and learned some useful things about content filtering that I didn't know, but I didn't see the answer to this question. I currently have 2.1.5 installed, I will try to get the server owner to update this installation. thanks for any suggestions, --steve -- IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.

subscription request as recieved, but nothing further happens (randomly)
by Geoff Deering March 9, 2006

March 9, 2006

Hi, I have Mailman 2.16 installed on a server. It seems to behaving erratically by only subscribing people randomly, some subscriptions are processed without problems. I can't find what is happening with the failed attempts to subscribe. It's acknowledging the subscription request as recieved, but there is no trace of it in the system and nothing further happens. Any suggestions? Regards Geoff
