Web refreshes but does not apply changes
by Tony Stocker July 25, 2006

July 25, 2006

Hello, I'm setting up Mailman and have a bit of a difficulty. I've sent a 'subscribe' email to a list, and received back that it's awaiting admin approval. I login to the web page, go to the Pending Requests section and see the subscribe request. I then click the accept radio button and the Submit All Data. But all that happens is that I get a security warning window about encrypted communication and the web page refreshes and resets itself. I can't find anything in the httpd log files, … [View More]

mutt script / macro for mailman moderation?
by William Yardley July 24, 2006

July 24, 2006

In case it's helpful to anyone, I put the first draft of a little script for mutt to simplify moderation tasks. Feedback welcome. Thought I'd post here in case it's useful to anyone. http://veggiechinese.net/mutt_mailman_approve.txt It's a perl script; it requires File::Copy, File::Temp and Term::ReadLine, which should all be pretty standard, I think. I'm sure it could be done in other languages too... this is just how I ended up doing it. Basically, to use this for approving / rejecting … [View More]

Huge slowdown reflected in smtp logs
by Craig Pettersen July 24, 2006

July 24, 2006

Hi All, A couple of months ago we added a 35,000 member list to our new mailman installation. Checking the mailman smtp logs, we were very please with the performance - the whole list went out in 250 seconds. Individual messages were logging in at a fraction of a second. Mailings to this newsletter list go out about every 2-3 weeks. The first three mailings went out just fine - one in as little as 43 seconds to all 35000 members. But suddenly the time shot up to over 4000 seconds on the … [View More]

Welcome messages
by Anne Ramey July 24, 2006

July 24, 2006

Question about welcome message options. If I have my welcome message option under General Options turned off, it doesn't send out welcome messages. Period. Even if I say to do so on the mass subscription page. I thought the individual subscription options would override what you have under general options, not the other way around. Is it supposed to work like this or do I have a problem? I'm using mailman 2.1.8 on RHEL 4 -- Anne Ramey
