extracting addresses without a mailman installation?
by Cheryl Trooskin-Zoller Nov. 21, 2007

Nov. 21, 2007

The server that hosts my mailman installation is down with hardware problems, and I'm trying to set up a stop-gap to fill in for a week until people get back in town & can start fixing things for real. I've got tape backups; how do I extract email addresses from the config.db files without a mailman installation? The answer I found in the list archives -- to run "strings" on config.pck -- seems to get me a jumbled list of subscriber addresses, also-accept-posts-from addresses, and banned … [View More]

Complex Messages in Mailman?
by Hugh Rowley Nov. 20, 2007

Nov. 20, 2007

Hello All, I apologize for sending this without a subject (and then re-sending with one). Will try not to be so annoying in the future! Quick question from a Newbie Mailman Admin: Can Mailman send complex messages with embedded graphics (JPEG images, etc.), or is everything still basically plain-text with image attachments? I've just set up Mailman (and a Linux server) for the first time and am testing, so I'm still quite ignorant about Mailman's capabilities at this point. If Mailman can … [View More]

Hello All, Quick question from a Newbie Mailman Admin: Can Mailman send complex messages with embedded graphics (JPEG images, etc.), or is everything still basically plain-text with image attachments? I've just set up Mailman (and a Linux server) for the first time and am testing, so I'm still quite ignorant about Mailman's capabilities at this point. If Mailman can send anything more sophisticated than plain text, maybe you could post an example, and hints about how you did it? Thanks for … [View More]

Virtual domains
by hjalmar Nov. 19, 2007

Nov. 19, 2007

Hi folks! Yes virtual domains, again. I have been reading and tested the virtual domain configuration as explained by the mailman documentation but I can't get it working at my work. We have two domains domain1.com and domain2.com. domain1.com is the primary domain and domain2.com is the virtual one. In my /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py config I have the following: MTA='Postfix' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['lists.domain1.com', 'lists.domain2.com'] In postfix: mydomain = domain1.com myhost = … [View More]

A question about Non-member filters
by Jim Park Nov. 19, 2007

Nov. 19, 2007

All, I have a question on a problem that one of my list admins is seeing. We have a non-member filter setup for a specific email address that is allowed to post to a particular list. When the list member attempts to send to the list the list admin receives the following information. My question is what does the Reason Message has implicit destination mean? <begin information> To: il-cmu-sycara-owner(a)LOGANBERRY.srv.cs.cmu.edu Subject: Il-cmu-sycara post from trac(a)poirot.bbn.com … [View More]

Restoring Mailman after a crash?
by Mike Avery Nov. 18, 2007

Nov. 18, 2007

Until last week, I was pretty lucky with Mailman. I installed it, and it did its thing. Beautifully. Last week my FreeBSD system had a disk crash. The drive only makes sickening clicking sounds and SpinRite can't touch it. Luckily, I'd been doing weekly backups, so I didn't lose more than a day or two of messages. I backed up by running tar on the entire mailman directory structure. And it's all there! But, now comes the fun part, how do I recreate the mailing lists, the archives, … [View More]
