Unsubscribe links in footers and passwords
by David Beaumont March 24, 2007

March 24, 2007

Firstly is there a way to globally remove passwords for all users on a list. They are a pain, users forget them and I trust our users not to need one. Secondly and alternatively I notice at the foot of each of the mailman developers emails is an 'unsubscribe' link that takes you to your own details page in mailman Eg "Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/david%40johmar.com" How do you get the individuals email address to be included at the end of that link? Thanks David

config_list does not finish
by Michael McAndrew March 24, 2007

March 24, 2007

Hi there, Anyone know why the following command doesn't finish? It just hangs until I escape with ctrl+Z [root@list mailman]# bin/config_list -i vawupdate/scripts/carers.config.txt carers Configuration of other lists with similar configuration files works fine. This seems to be an intermittent problem that occurs on some lists, and i don't know why. I am using mailman 2.1.7 on Fedora 4. Would any extra info be helpful? I am stuck. Thanks a lot.

Changing the name of a list
by Mike Maughan March 23, 2007

March 23, 2007

Hi all, Is it possible to change the name of a list? I don't just mean the 'public name' but the list itself? If not, is it possible to export archives from one list to another? -- Regards, Mike

how long does a installation take normally?
by Lex Thoonen March 23, 2007

March 23, 2007

Hi, I'm renting a linux box, fedora with the Apache/2.0.53. (as a dedicated server.) NOW; I looked at installing mailman myself, but rather soon figured I'm not linux experienced enough to do this. So I asked the tech people at fasthots.co.uk to take a look. They've been busy for a few days, working now and then I guess, and just now I received this e-mail from them: --------------- I've now (with the assistance of my colleagues here) spent considerably longer than the allocated 30 minutes … [View More]

Mail not going to all members
by gcarmichael＠shorter.edu March 23, 2007

March 23, 2007

I'm running Mailman 2.1.9 and postfix. A "/usr/local/mailman/bin/list_members info" shows a list of members. However, when I send a message, to the list, only one person gets the email. In the maillog, it shows postfix only trying to send mail to that respective user and no one else. Any clues as to what's going on? Thanks,

fix_url; one old link remains
by Peter March 23, 2007

March 23, 2007

I have migrated a list to a new machine but I see that for *one* link the URL did not change. In the archives, the link "More information about this list" is still the old one. This particular link appears in many places (on every archive page). Any ideas why this link did not change? Pedro
