web interface on another machine?
by John Heim Sept. 22, 2006

Sept. 22, 2006

We have mailman installed on our mail server. But we don't want to run apache on that machine. We already have apache running on another machine. Can we have the cgi scripts run on our web server? What we've done so far is to nfs mount the mailman directory on the web server. But we are running into permissions problems.

Something Lighter Weight Than Mailman?
by Jon Forrest Sept. 22, 2006

Sept. 22, 2006

I'm currently running my email lists using simple Postfix aliases, and they work fine. The only thing I need is a way to limit who can post to my lists so that only people in the list can post. From reading Mailman documention I see Mailman can do this too but the documentation left me feeling that Mailman is too much for my simple needs. Is there a way to limit who can post to a list without running a high octane application like Mailman? Cordially, -- Jon Forrest forrest(a)ce.berkeley.edu … [View More]

MM lists on Gmane
by Jason R. Mastaler Sept. 22, 2006

Sept. 22, 2006

I was surprised to find the Mailman lists not on Gmane, and some googling revealed some sort of religious flame war I don't really want to get into. But, I think at the very least, mailman-announce should be carried on Gmane. I don't see how that would hurt anyone. I'd really like to just add an RSS feed from Gmane in my browser to pick up news about new MM releases rather than having to subscribe to a list and get it in email form.

We are encountering some parts where there is no suggestions in the FAQs. In particular, they are the following: 1. The confirmation html page when someone click on the subscription confirmation link from within the Email. 2. The … [View More]

installation move problems
by Brian Lewis Sept. 21, 2006

Sept. 21, 2006

I moved a mailman installation. I don't know what the old version was, but the new version is 2.1.9. I moved the installation by tarring up and copying archives/, data/, and lists/. I'm getting pending notification messages every day, but there are no messages to approve in the administration web stuff. Is there some procedure to check the integrity of the various databases and whatnot? Or maybe I can somehow save the actual data, perform a clean installation of mailman, and reimport the data?… [View More]

Hi, Mailman has been working beautifully for awhile now but yesterday it just stopped. I wound up repairing all of the databases but it happened again today.
