Personalization
by Fabiano Breves 30 Jun '06

Hi ALL, I set the personalization option to Full for a list so the mail would be sent to the user address and not to the list main address. It kinda work. But the main list address is still shown in the CC: field. Is there any way to avoid this behavior ? -- Fabiano de Carvalho Breves fabiano.breves(a)gmail.com

Custom footer based on sender's email
by Rob Jackson 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

I need to figure out how to add a footer to an e-mail coming from a specific user. I just can't seem to figure this out. I have created a module to weed out the address, but now I need to munge the body of the message. -Rob

Radio button options for message size
by Rob Jackson 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

I don't want to give the admin the choice to put in any number they want, instead I want options, like 10k, 20k, 40k, 80k, and so forth. Right now, the way mailman is set up, each radio button will represent a placement. So right now, 10k will be 0, 20k will be 1, 40k will be 2, 80k will be 3 and so forth. Is there a way I can change this? Thanks -Rob

24 h delays in e-mails distribution.
by Andy 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Hi! There is a problem with extremely slow e-mails distribution over discussion lists. Mails are delayed from about 12 to 24 hours (no matter what activity on the lists, even when list is almost not active at all the delay is still that big). The problem with slow mails distribution concerns not only mails distributed to subscribers, but also administrative mails send by mailman (for example as reply to commands sent to request-listname(a)domain.name). However, e-mails appear quickly (virtually no delay) in the archive, but I repeat that their distribution to list members is delayed by many hours, and some e-mails even go astray. What is the cause of such problems? Andy

Memory optimization
by Peter Gerstbach 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Hi, is there a way to reduce memory consumption of mailman's various qrunners processes? I've already searched the web for this but the only answer (if any) is pointing to this FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.056.htp However, this only says that the processes are not active and therefore swapped. Since I run my mailinglists on a vServer that is both limited in real RAM and swap this does not help me. So, is there a way to reduce memory usage? My lists are really small, have only a few subscribers and low traffic... Thank you for your help! Best regards, Peter

move mail lists from Solaris to redhat
by Dany Cuyt 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Currently we have mailman running on an old Sun sparc with Solaris 8. I installed mailman on a new linux server with Redhat 4. I did some tests and mailman seems to work fine on the new system with newly created lists. The next step is to move the mail lists from the Solaris system to the Redat system. Does someone has done this before? Can I just move the content of the lists, archive/public and archive/private folders? I noticed that Linux is using sometimes a different file extension than on Sun. As an example config.pck is found on linux and config.db is found on Solaris Greetings, Dany

Are any of these subscription requests or are they all posts waiting approval? Whatever they are, you can approve them and then subscriptions waiting approval if any will be approved and the users will receive welcome messages and posts will be sent to the list. You need to go to the web admin interface and visit every category and subcategory page under Configuration Categories (from General Optionas through Topics) and look at each option and if necessary the "Details for" page so you understand what the list configuration settings are and what they do. Then you can set up the list to work the way you want. -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

Re: [Mailman-Users] messages posted fropm Hotmail account donot showup - why?

William Howe wrote: >Content Filtering set for: > >multipart/mixed multipart/alternative text/plain That would be pass_mime_types? If so, that is presumably the Hotmail issue. It is an HTML only post which is held before content filtering, and after approval, content filtering removes the whole post. >Might this explain another issue I have where messages are sometimes posted as text attachments with nothing in the body and it does not show up in the archives? Do you mean the message is received from the list as an 'empty' message body with a text/plain attachment and is not in the archives at all or it is in the archive with a note that an attachment has been scrubbed? Content filtering may or may not be involved. It the original message was an HTML only body and a text/plain attachment, the result after filtering would be as you describe, but I could also create a post with an empty body and a text/plain attachment. If the post sent to the list, but there is nothing at all in the archive, then the issue is something else. -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
