Cc to the list?
by Andre Tann 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

Hello. I'm running Mailman with the option VERP personalisation turned on. This results in mails being generated look like this: To: atann(a)gmx.net Cc: listname(a)mydom.ain How can I get rid of the Cc-line? The problem about this is that mail clients like kmail reply to the list instead of the author mentioned in the From-line, even though I have set reply_goes_to_list to "sender". -- Andre Tann

mailman + ensim
by Thomas 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

I've looked everywhere and talked to numerous people who either refer me elsewhere, or back to someone who referred them, and I'm going nuts. The only documentation I've found on it is obsolete. So, I figure I'd go to the source, which must be the right choice since no one has yet suggested it. I've got mailman "running" on a server doing virtual/name based domains using Ensim Pro. The problem I have is the web interface does not work, but everything else does. When I go to domain.com/mailman/admin/listhere or any other page I get the standard 500 error. I don't need mailman integrated into the control panel, but I do need the web interface working. Anyone know how to get both programs to play nice? Thomas

Re: [Mailman-Users] special characters on mail mass subscription
by Mark Sapiro 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

daniel trejowrote: > >sorry, I mean the character is in the address, for example: >apiñeyro(a)mail.com >mass subscription sends me a hostile character error That's right. Mailman does not accept any e-mail address containing spaces or any of the characters ][()<>|;^,\000-\037\177-\377 (older Mailman versions were a little looser about this). Note that while some of those characters are allowable in local parts, they have to be properly quoted to be standards compliant, e.g., api\ñeyro(a)mail.com or "apiñeyro"@mail.com, but Mailman won't accept them anyway. -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

archiving partial duplicates
by Con Wieland 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

Hello, I'm having trouble with one of my archives. This archive is about 5 years old and is fairly large. The problem is I recently had to remove a message and reindex. When I checked the archives for the current month a number of partial messages showed up with no from line and no date. These actually turned out to be chunks from some very old messages. I am confused though because the original message shows up fine and the current month's archive shows an incomplete portion of the old message. I'm assuming it's a corrupt message but I don't understand why it's showing up in both places. I have a couple dozen of these. I don't know if this existed before my last arch rebuild. I have gone through several of these and am not able to see anything unusual. I have also checked the messages preceding and after the messages in question to no avail. Any idea's on what to look for would be appreciated. Con Wieland Network and Academic Computing Services

non approval lists
by Brian Krusic 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Hi, When creating a new list, is there a way to allow posting w/o membership or moderator approval? An example would be a list named jobs where 1 time emails are gotten from who ever and don't need to be approved for posting. Thanks in advance.

And, of >course, replace 'listname' with the list name. ---------------- End original message. --------------------- Or Perl or Python or whatever your favorite scripting language might be... But that's just icing on the cake and not really a necessity. The --wipe argument deletes all the old files and builds new ones. Which is great but ii did have one unfortunate consequence for me. I am using htdig to allow search of my archives and when I rebuilt the archives after editing the templates and installing htdig, all of the file dates on the messages were set to the date I rebuilt the archive. This destroyed the date context for the archive and the file dates displayed by the htdig search were not reflecting when the message was originally posted. So, I wrote a small Perl script to "fix" the file dates to match the message date in each of the message files. If anyone is interested in that script, I would be happy to share it with you. Just e-mail me directly and I will send it to you.

How do I change web_page_url config item?
by Paul Aitkenhead 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

My server has more than one hostname. My email headers, and message footers, are not coming up with the one I want. It traces back to web_page_url in Mailman/Defaults.py. I do not see anyplace on the web admin to alter this. Is this something I am supposed to control through mm_cfg.py?
