send lots of mail to one server?
by Kim Leandersson April 4, 2006

April 4, 2006

Hello, I will soon send an anounce to around 8500 people and my first thougt was to put all those in a mailman list, mail this list and then mailman will divide this into nice little chunks so that the mail is being sent to a reasonable amount of people at the same time. How well will this work if 99% of the people are located at the same server? How big chunks and how fast will mailman deliver to my MTA (postfix)? Are there any good options to tune to get the mail to be sent out slow so that … [View More]

Mailman list configuration problems..
by Arroyo, Steven C April 4, 2006

April 4, 2006

Hopefully this will be easy. I wasn't able to find any help in the list archives. Basics: Solaris 2.8; mailman 2.1.7; python 2.4.2; apache 1.3.28 in ssl mode, httpd.conf > "Group commerce"; Problem: Changes to lists are not working. Example, changing Privacy Option > Sender Filters > generic_nonmember_action > to "Hold" from "Accept". Then select "Submit Your Changes" on the admin web page, and the change doesn't take on the admin page or the pck file. However the config.pck … [View More]

April 4, 2006

Thanks so much for the free mailing lists! We thoroughly enjoy your generosity. I have a subscriber who has not been receiving his digest for several weeks. He said he has checked and it is not blocked from his end. I unsubscribed him and resubscribed him but he still isn't receiving digests. Is there a helps page we can visit to see what the problem may be? Thank you, Edith Smith ButterflyMarket mailing list . ButterflyFarming asc(a)tznet.com <http://… [View More]

Insert customized Reply-To in welcome letter?
by Paul Aitkenhead April 3, 2006

April 3, 2006

My list serves a membership whose cross-section could be described as "casual" residential computer users that won't pay close attention to written instructions and have little patience when learning technology that is new to them. Very frequently, they'll receive their new member acknowledgement letter and they'll attempt to do their first post by simply replying to it... which sends something to mylist-request(a)mydomain.com. Then they take offense over the resulting confusion and they won't … [View More]

Installation on Solaris 10
by Kent Taylor April 3, 2006

April 3, 2006

I'm attempting to install Mailman 2.1.8b1 on Solaris 10 - "configure" works - "make" works - "make install" does not. The problem seems to a Python issue - I checked the Python lists and found that I'm not the only person to have this problem - Unfortunately, the other person's solution was to revert to Solaris 8 - I really don't want to do that. The "make install" error is "command '/sgnome/tools/x86-solaris/forte/SOS8/SUNWspro/bin/cc' failed with exit status 2" trying to compile "src/hangul.c"… [View More]

Receiving Bounces
by Tim Arney April 3, 2006

April 3, 2006

Hi, I use Mailman 2.1.6 to manage the mailing list on my domain, which is configured using cPanel. It seems a lot of members aren't receiving my posts, and according to my server support team bounces are being received, but from what I can see MM can't be configured to forward all bounces to the list administrator. Is there a way around this? Any help would be appreciated, Tim
