Virual host email from address defaulting to real hostname.
by Richard Beyer May 4, 2006

May 4, 2006

I've just installed Mailman on FreeBSD with Sendmail and Apache. I'm hosting it for another organization, and have used their domain name throughout all the installation and list set-up. It all appears fine through the web interface, and accepts emails to lists.lcg.org.au, BUT all emails from mailman use my mail server's hostname (mail.another.com.au). I've told sendmail to allow it to masquerade as the virtual domain, and I've added the following to the mm_cfg.py file: … [View More]

Double attachments
by Osmo Kujala May 4, 2006

May 4, 2006

Hi again Mailman-users! I was wondering why attachments in archive take space more than mbox-file. Found out that there are many double copies of attachments like: [root@lists ~]# cd ~mailman/arc*/*/ok-testi/attachments/*/* [root@lists c69ef096]# ls -l total 120 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root mailman 59714 May 3 14:48 attachment-0001.html -rw-rw-r-- 1 root mailman 59714 May 3 14:48 attachment.html [root@lists c69ef096]# diff attachment-0001.html attachment.html [root@lists c69ef096]# Any clue why? … [View More]

Welcome message
by Hung Phan May 4, 2006

May 4, 2006

Hi, everyone My Mailman mailing list doesn't send out the welcome message ANYMORE. The lists are config as an announcement list and to send out welcome message to new users. Because I want to make the welcome message for each of the list, I specified the content in the new-user welcome message, but remove the content in the subscribeack.txt file. The users are added into the lists, but no welcome messages send out to them. When I unsubscribe them, I'm - as the admin - receive the … [View More]

trouble running mailman in a virtual environment
by wiren May 3, 2006

May 3, 2006

I have a virtual server at some provider. They have an how-to to install and run mailman. The OS is freebsd. Some days ago, my consultant installed mailman, following their how-to directions. Version 2.1.7, the latest available. When we started and tested mailman, it worked right, so we transfered our lists from another server. Then a problem arose, mailman got stuck. My consultant went to see the log and noticed several *interrupted system calls*. We thought it was due to a … [View More]

what's different
by Rick Pasotto May 3, 2006

May 3, 2006

I have several mailing list on several domains running on my machine (debian Etch, using exim4). As far as I can tell they are all setup identically however on one of them mail sent to 'list-join(a)domain.com' (and any other -request type address) gets returned as 'Unroutable address'. The other lists behave correctly. Where should I look to uncover the problem? 'exim4 -bt' returns the same results for all lists. Thinking it might be something that could be corrected with fix_url I tried … [View More]

Hi, Is there a way to protect the list in a way that ONLY admin can send mails to the list. Maybe with password in Subject or in some other way. Regards Alan

Parameters don't seem to take effect
by Steve Campbell May 3, 2006

May 3, 2006

I am basically trying to get a list set up to send individual emails to each member subscribed to my list. I have this set for "Digest" mode. Every thing works fine except the message goes out to all members in one email message. I'm testing right now, so there are only two members. I am new to Mailman and this list, but have tried the archives I have read what I could find in the archives and set the following in my mm_cfg.py, but this does not seem to matter: SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 1 … [View More]

alias.db not getting updated
by Tony Bibbs May 2, 2006

May 2, 2006

I've recently added a mailman list and have run bin/genaliases and put that data in the data/aliases and restarted both postfix and mailman. Apparently this isn't updating the alias.db which explains why all 'old' lists still work but any new ones don't. Any ideas on what I may have done wrong here? --Tony __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
