Change All Members to nomail
by Karl Zander Feb. 7, 2007

Feb. 7, 2007

Is there a command I can run to change all members of a list to a "nomail" setting? And then change it back? I didn't see anything in the FAQ. I do have root access on the server. Running MM 2.1.8. --Karl

Change moderators and owner password from command line or email interface
by Cat Feb. 7, 2007

Feb. 7, 2007

Hello, I've been asked to do some modifications on 100 mailing lists, to implement a new owner/moderator policy for all those lists. There is 1 owner for the 100 lists, and the previous owners of each list become moderators. The owner of the 100 lists wants the same owner password of the 100 lists, and they also want the same passwd for moderators. I have written a shell script to do most of the list owners and moderator changes, but I can't find how to change the moderator and owner … [View More]

I cannot seem to get the list to print out to me, I am this list admin and it only prints out the folks who don't have their hide bit set. Since that is everyone, almost, I don't get my list. Is there another way to export my list of users the html interface is a bit unwieldy for 30k users. If there is a command line to print it to a file that would be nice too! TIA for the help.

mailman mailing lists and spam filter
by dhottinger＠harrisonburg.k12.va.us Feb. 5, 2007

Feb. 5, 2007

I just setup a new mailserver because my old one went south. I got mailman up and running but from the number of posts awaiting approval it doesnt look like my mailman stuff is running through my procmail scripts that filter my emails. Im using an older version of mailman right now. Is there someway I can look and see if these posts are routing correctly? -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools

User Passwords and Conversion from Majordomo
by Barry Finkel Feb. 5, 2007

Feb. 5, 2007

I have to convert all of our Majordomo lists to Mailman. I have some questions about the subscriber passwords. For each list I convert, I will be taking the existing Majordomo list subscriber e-mail addresses and doing a "Mass Subscription" via the Mailman list administrator web page. 1) If I send welcome messages to the subscribers, then each subscriber will get a randomly generated password in the welcome message. If I choose not to send the welcome message, then is there a … [View More]

Editing values in a lists's config.pck file?
by Daniel Clark Feb. 5, 2007

Feb. 5, 2007

I need to change the gate_news watermark on one of my mailing lists, as it got incremented without a message actually being gatewayed from the usenet newsgroup to the mailing list (because of something to do with the "list" user's password having expired and cron). I am using mailman 2.1.5-8sarge5. I found that this information is contained in the list "config.pck" file: # /var/lib/mailman/bin/dumpdb /var/lib/mailman/lists/<listname>/config.pck \ | grep -i watermark '… [View More]

separate mailman and web servers
by Peter Matulis Feb. 5, 2007

Feb. 5, 2007

Can someone explain to me how mailman and the web server can exist on separate machines? I am new to mailman and I'm having a hard time understanding how mailman communicates with its web server. I have a new client that connects to an external web server to add list members but mailman (and postfix) runs on a local system. I see that in /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py mailman is pointed to this external web server with DEFAULT_URL_HOST. Any pointers on how postfix fits into this … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] OT: Firefox Crashing on Admin Pages
by Kenneth Jacker Feb. 4, 2007

Hank: Just thought I'd let you know that recent updates to Firefox and extensions (and maybe something else) solved the problem of FF crashing on Mm admin pages. I can again access those pages without problems ... Thanks for your ideas to fix it as well! -Kenneth
