Mailman 3 June 2006 - Mailman-Users

After mailing move ....
by Lawrence Bowie June 7, 2006

June 7, 2006

Jun 6 22:07:21 mailserver postfix/local[3100]: D7F6F580BB: to=<test-list(a)lists.example.org>, relay=local, delay=1, status=SOFTBOUNCE (Command died with status 1: "/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post test-list") I keep getting the above in postfix logs and my lists are not working. Is this due to name of the server is "mailserver" and the name of the SMTP server is "lists"? Any help would be great ... LDB

Backup of List
by Fred Atkinson June 7, 2006

June 7, 2006

One of my list managers asked if there was a way to back up and restore the email/contents of his list. Can you tell me how/if that can be done? I heard someone say that it is. Regards, Fred

Separating Public and Private Archives
by Barry Finkel June 7, 2006

June 7, 2006

The mailman code puts, for public archives, a pointer to the private directory. This will prevent public access to the private archives if the archives are on a traditional Unix file system. I am experimenting with placing the archives in the Andrew File System (AFS), where access is controlled by access control lists. In AFS, a non-privileged user can see the private archives. Is there an easy way to change the mailman behavior so that the public archives are placed into their own directory and are not symbolic links to the private directory? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry S.

locate user passwd or resend passwd to user?
by Jana Nguyen June 7, 2006

June 7, 2006

Hi, I enable the archive file source for private archive; only current list members can view the archives. The problem is I migrated the list of members via the command line /bin/add_members in "quite" mode so the user doesn't have the password to authenticate to view the archive. How or where do I locate the user password or is there a way that I re-send out all email to user with their passwd attached? Thanks!

changing domain name in list
by ArteryPlanet.Net :: Manuel Kissoyan June 6, 2006

June 6, 2006

Hope you could help.... I just moved an account from one server to another and then changed the domain name, for some reason the control panel (cPanel) hasnt changed the mailman domain name, so i gone ahead and renamed the mailing list directory and the archive directory with the new domain name. Now for some reason the confirmation email when you send a mail to the mailing list is showing the old domain name, how i could change it? Thank you in advance!

Possible? Multiple instances off single code base?
by Hugh Esco June 6, 2006

June 6, 2006

I'm wondering, as a means for simplifying maintainence, is there a way to deploy multiple instances of Mailman off a single code base, so that there is only one instance of the code to upgrade and maintain. Any and all insight would be appreciated. -- Hugh Esco http://reclaimedcomputers.ca/
