where do I edit English messages?
by zbigniew szalbot Nov. 9, 2007

Nov. 9, 2007

Hello, In order to handle some phrases better in Polish, I edited /usr/local/mailman/messages/pl/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po followed by msgfmt -o mailman.mo mailman.po Then I wanted to do the same for the English language as I find some phrases overly complicated for the current web users. However, I do not see the English language anywhere in /usr/local/mailman/messages/ Where do I edit it? I would like to edit this string: ----- Your confirmation is required in order to complete the … [View More]

Email subscribe interface and QP encoding
by Rosenbaum, Larry M. Nov. 9, 2007

Nov. 9, 2007

If I send an email from Outlook to the listname-request address with this line: subscribe address=test2(a)ornl.gov I get back the following result: Your authorization is required for a mailing list subscription request approval: For: 3Dtest2(a)ornl.gov ... Notice the "3D" in front of the original address. It looks like Mailman isn't decoding the quoted-printable encoding before parsing the message body. Why is that? Should I file a bug report? (Note: when I sent the message from … [View More]

Changing URI
by Arnaud Bailly Nov. 8, 2007

Nov. 8, 2007

Hello, I have setup a mailman system (debian package, v. 2.1.9-7) and am quite happy with it. I have however a small problem: I have changed the base URI path of the scripts from /cgi-bin/mailman/xxx to /private/cgi-bin/mailman, changing correspondly the apache config. The problem is that all links in the ML's web UI are still in the old format, which is quite annoying. I can (and dit) setup rewrite rules to handle redirection to proper URI but this poses problems with authentication cookies, … [View More]

Mailman aliases file on NFS
by Andreas Achtzehn Nov. 8, 2007

Nov. 8, 2007

Hi! I have a configuration of two servers which both import a shared directory from a third server via NFS. One of the two server is the mail server, the second is the web server. I have copied the complete mailman tree to the NFS share. The configuration works fine, mails are delivered and I can work within in the web interface on the other server. Unfortunately, removing lists doesn't work, because NFS doesn't support locking. mail bin # ./rmlist rk-rekoze Not removing archives. Reinvoke … [View More]

is it possible to set up mailman on a host without a MTA?
by Tomasz Chmielewski Nov. 7, 2007

Is it possible to set up mailman on a host without a MTA? I imagine mailman could easily send emails through an external MTA, and receive email using externam pop3 or imap account - however, I didn't find many hints about such setup in the fine documentation. Any clues? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://blog.wpkg.org

Can't change max_num_recipients
by Lev Lafayette Nov. 7, 2007

Nov. 7, 2007

Hey people, I have a number of mailman lists with multiple domains that I'm looking after... In the web administration tool any attempt to change max_num_recipients under Privacy/Recipient filters causes it to revert to the default of 10. Any hints on why this would be the case? Thanks in advance, Lev

Can one use EC2 for bandwidth spikes?
by Chuck Peters Nov. 7, 2007

Nov. 7, 2007

We have a newsletter with 1500+ subscribers which is currently hosted on my friends house. He has DSL and the connection goes to crap for 5-15 minutes every time we send one out, other than that it works fine. When I looked at some of the low cost hosting options none of them seem to be good because of various limitations like 500 messages per hour. We send out 1 or 2 newsletters a week at most so it has been hard to justify spending the $40-$100 or more a month for better hosting. I have … [View More]
