Mailman archive interface....
by Michael Peterson Jan. 9, 2007

Jan. 9, 2007

I've been working on building a search interface to mailman for a client on mine. Since I didn't see one built into the archive system I built one using the Swishe software. So far everything seems to be working fine...with one exception. For private lists if someone run a search and then links into the mailman web interface...you get presented with the login box...which then redirects you to the top level of the directory. Since I already know excatly which post I'm looking for...and that what … [View More]

Sender Name in message
by liquid＠nationalcomfortinstitute.com Jan. 9, 2007

Jan. 9, 2007

I'm running Mailman 2.1.5 I've looked through the archives and have yet to find an answer to this. I'm running an anonymous discussion list. The list is setup so replies are by directed back to the list. I would like to be able to add the senders/posters name (the (optional) name that is in the system) to the header, message or footer. I want it this way to dummy proof the list by forcing a signature. Any way this can be done? Jeff

mailman 2.1.5 and Debian upgrades
by Alan McConnell Jan. 9, 2007

Jan. 9, 2007

Dear Helpful Experts, Please have patience! I'll try to make this the last revisit of this subject. I am the admin of a four-month old Mailman E-list, running on my ISP, PatriotNet. The people actually responsible for Tech Support at PatriotNet are very reliant on Debian. They are running Debian Sarge, because that is the latest "stable" Debian release(coincidentally, so am I, at home). Debian Sarge provides MM 2.1.5, which Brad and Mark have criticized in rather scathing terms; … [View More]

Hello again, > And I made a mistake too. It should be > > 'MM-List-Name' : self.real_name, Thanks a lot. But this does not give me the full name of the list as on the mailman homepage for the list (where I took the MM-List-Name variable from) but again expands into ppl which is the real name of the list. I do not really want to bother you if this simply cannot be done. I know you are very busy. Thanks! -- Zbigniew Szalbot

list name in email
by Zbigniew Szalbot Jan. 9, 2007

Jan. 9, 2007

Hello, Is it possible to insert an equivalent of %(MM-List-Name)s into verity.txt template? For example, I have list which real name is ppl. It is an abbreviation and does not mean anything. But when people get the confirmation message, they should see a full name. I tried %(MM-List-Name)s, then %(listname)s, then %(description)s but they don't resolve to full list name. Thank you for advice! Warm regards, -- Zbigniew Szalbot

result of email command
by Zbigniew Szalbot Jan. 9, 2007

Jan. 9, 2007

I want users to subcribe to my mls by email only (as Mailman is not avilable to the world on the machine where it is installed). All works fine but when I subscribe and confirm, the email I get is very strange. It says (in Polish) "Results of email command." The original message is attached and first line says: - Result: Confirmed and then the unprocessed rest of the message. My question is whether I can change some option somewhere so that there are no attachments. Just a plain message … [View More]

Problem posting to Mailman list from Gmail and other addresses.
by Aman Singer Jan. 8, 2007

Jan. 8, 2007

Hi, all. I find that I'm not able to post to a specific Mailman list running Mailman 2.1B2. If I post from an address at Utoronto.ca, using a rogers.com SMTP server, everything is fine. If I post from a Gmail address using the Gmail SMTP server, I get headers in the message body and messages with no subject. I think this might be a problem with the Gmail implementation of Domain Keys, but am not sure. I am receiving and sending with Outlook 2003, but the choice of mail client sending doesn't … [View More]

Archived html messages
by Jay Rogers Jan. 8, 2007

Jan. 8, 2007

When viewing the archive through the web interface for an archived HTML message, the HTML MIME attachment is separated ("scrubbed") to a separate webpage. A link is provided to view that webpage but the HTML content, tags and all, has been modified to display as plain text. This is not very useful. How does one change/configure Mailman to get these archived HTML attachments to display as expected? -- Jay
