One email that won't go through on my Mailman Listserv...
by Justin Williams Sept. 21, 2006

Sept. 21, 2006

I have been using mailman as an announcement only email list (one way traffic from only a few email addresses). While the list works well on almost all occasions, I've encountered one email that I forward to the list that will not ever show up, no matter what I've tried to do. The email itself was an HTML formatted (mostly text, but one embedded image) originally forwarded from my Outlook Express email software. After forwarding the email initially, it never showed up (not emailed back … [View More]

Is one of the other lists a better place to ask this? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: archive emails are garbled Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 13:38:57 -0700 From: Justin Zygmont <justin(a)cityfone.net> To: mailman-users(a)python.org I have a noticed a problem with emails stored in the list archives if they have been uuencoded. When HTML emails are distributed to all the list members they just show the raw HTML code, so I used uuencode and it fixed that, but when I take a look at … [View More]

Sept. 21, 2006

I am running mailman version 2.1.5. Everything was functioning normally. I just received an incident request stating that the Namazu search was not pulling all archives. I looked in my NMZ.err file and am seeing the following messages: /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/documentumdevelopers/database/2006-Sep tember-author /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/documentumdevelopers/database/2006-Sep tember-author is not a Pipermail message file! skipped. /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/… [View More]

I've setup a mailing list 1 just the way I like it. Can I somehow copy these settings for all new lists that I create?

Using the inject message command
by Jack Stone Sept. 21, 2006

Sept. 21, 2006

As a new user, I have most everything tuned well, thanks a lot to this list and of course the excellent program itself. One thing I have yet to find a good way to do is the use of the inject command for sending out a message from the command line. Nothing mysterious about the command, but my efforts do not produce my objective based on the various ways I tried. I need this ability because we receive messages from our "Question Manager" about some technical question. If we cannot … [View More]

List My Other Subscriptions Not working
by Dave Troiano Sept. 21, 2006

Sept. 21, 2006

Hi all, As list admin for over 90 lists, I have the need to frequently perform an inquiry to see which lists a member is subscribed to. As suggest here, this option is an ideal solution: >>> By extension, an admin of any list can go to the membership list pages and click any members address to get the members options page and then click the "List my other subscriptions" button to get the names of all the lists to which the member belongs. >>> But, my problem is that this … [View More]

Output to file all lists and associated member addresses
by Bill Landry Sept. 20, 2006

Sept. 20, 2006

Is there a simple way to output to a file all lists with each lists associated member addresses? I know I can use: bin/list_lists -b and then: bin/list_members list-name for each list, but is there a way to do this in one fell swoop, without having to run through each member list individually? Thanks for any and all suggestions...! Bill
