The listservs created before i started managing the lists allowed the moderators to login and access the admin pages without being prompted for the admin password. I can not recreate this with the new lists i create, how can i recreate this option?

One mail-list does not archive
by Tom Kavanaugh May 4, 2006

May 4, 2006

I am seeing a peculiar problem, which I want to share with the mailman community. One of my mail-lists just stopped archiving suddenly on April 25th. I just verified the Archiving options for this mail-list and see that: Archive Messages? Yes Is archive file source for public or private archival? Private How often should a new archive volume be started? Monthly I checked the mailman/archives/private/<list-name> and find that there is no 2006-May dir. The strange thing is that all the … [View More]

changed templates
by Steve Campbell May 4, 2006

May 4, 2006

As a follow up to what I had tried earlier and reading many, many more posts from the archives about modifying templates: I tried creating the 'list1/en' directory under templates also. I seem to be reading that there are many different places I can put the modified masthead.txt files. I then moved my masthead file to the new directory and restarted, but received the same missing header (or blank line). I then removed all of the new masthead files and directories, thinking that this … [View More]

List config files
by Tom Kavanaugh May 4, 2006

May 4, 2006

Hi, I am setting up a bunch of mail lists on mailman 2.1.7 running on RedHat Ent Linux ver 3. For the most part, these lists have the same custom config. They are all private lists, non-members can subscribe to the list, etc. I would like to know where these individual mail list config files are stored. So I can just copy them over for the new lists. Thanks Tom

one way or no-reply list
by Lucy Rasmussen May 4, 2006

May 4, 2006

I recently set up a mailing list "bayareadoodlers". Unfortunately at the time, I did not realize that there would be an opportunity for recipients to respond. This has resulted in unwanted emails being sent to all list members. Is there any way that I can make this list a "no response" list? Alternatively, is there a way that I can have responses posted to me for screening? Thanks for your help. I suppose an alternative is to delete the list and reconfigure under a new name? … [View More]

changed templates

May 4, 2006

I have read the very nice FAQ stuff on changing templates, and thought I understood what it is saying, but I either have missed something, or don't know evough about Python to succeed. As a test, I did the following I created an 'en' directory under /var/mailman/lists/list1 I made sure the owner/group permissions were the same as the global 'templates' directory I copied masthead.txt to the /var/mailman/lists/list1/en I deleted the top statement so the the resultant file started with "To … [View More]

Automated announcements
by Robert Seymour May 4, 2006

May 4, 2006

I publish 5 cartoons a week (M-F) at birdbreath.com. The cartoons are posted based on the UNIX date, so each cartoon file is named for a pre-determined date - 20060502.png etc. , I would like to send out announcement emails M-F (in cron?) stating something like "Check out todays cartoon at http://birdbreath.com/images1/20060502.png" with the dated file name changing each day. I am a member of MidPhase and they have Mail Master - according to them a re-rolled Mailman. They suggested I contact … [View More]

mailman vs yahoogroups
by Ted Ernst May 4, 2006

May 4, 2006

I just joined this list. If this question has already been addressed, please point me to where I can find it (I couldn't find it in the archives). I live in a small (9 people) housing co-op. We've been using a yahoogroup for about 2 years and have not only residents, but also some close friends on the list. We decided we really neeed two lists, one for just owners/residents and one for announcements and/or low-traffic discussion about events - this one for our friends. So very small. I … [View More]
