trouble migrating a list
by Peter March 23, 2007

March 23, 2007

I'm resending this one. Can anyone help? I have migrated a list from an old installation (2.1.5) to a new machine (running 2.1.8). It appears that the move was successful since I can access its page at: http://mailman.domain.com/mailman/admin/<listname> But it does not show up on the main admin page: http://mailman.domain.com/mailman/admin This is the procedure I used for the move: cd /var/spool/mailman/lists cp -pr $OLD_MAILMAN/lists/<listname> . withlist -l -r … [View More]

listname-request who command
by Jennifer Oxelson March 22, 2007

March 22, 2007

Hello, Sending email to the listname-request alias, I'm able to verify that I can everyone who is on a mailing list by supplying the list administrator or moderator password to retrieve the roster (I have the list roster is limited to list administrators and moderators only). The issue is I can send the 'who' email command with the admin password from /*any*/ email address (not even subscribed) and get the roster... is this right? Wouldn't it be better if the 'who' command only … [View More]

Umbrella lists.
by Lech Karol Pawłaszek March 22, 2007

March 22, 2007

Hello, I have a problem with setting up an umberlla list. I know it is wrong and i should not use umbrella list, but (i think) i really have to. If anyone has any other solution to my problem - i'm listening. I want to have "mutliple level" list. At the very moment my company uses "announce" list to announce important stuff. But we also have country announce lists - such as "announce.pl" or "announce.fi" and so on. Moreover - we have regional (or city) announce lists - such as "announce.… [View More]

changing banned list members
by reikiiii＠comcast.net March 22, 2007

March 22, 2007

Hi, I'm new to this list and to using Mailman. I am stepping in temporarily in caring for the list I'm working with, and I have been asked to un-ban a member. I don't know the reasons behind this banning, but since I have been asked to undo it and subscribe them, I've been trying to find information on this. I have not been successful in the FAQs or in the archives. Can anyone tell me in plain english how to do this? I am not experienced in programming. Thanks! -- Blessings, Toni

Trapping posts with no subject, and an apology
by Mike Maughan March 22, 2007

March 22, 2007

I posted earlier about problems with "(no subject)" postings to my lists, not complaining about such to mailman-users, but I wasn't very clear in what I said so my apologies to anyone who may have been offended. To restate my problem and renew the request for help (if anyone is still talking to me, that is :): I run a number of lists of which two are precursors to wikis, that is the message threads are copied into the discussion areas of wikis for analysis and distillation. One day when I … [View More]

(no subject)

March 22, 2007

A few months ago, I set up mailman to manage bulk email of a subscription-based newsletter. Only the admin can post. For some reason, it's stopped working. All posts are moderated, so I usually send a message to HYPERLINK "mailto:announce@mailman.mydomain.com"announce(a)mailman.mydomain.com and I get a response asking me to authorize the request. I get nothing. And if I log on to the admin page there are no pending requests. The message isn't bounced, but it's like it's never received. … [View More]

spam, AOL and server names
by Dennis Morgan March 22, 2007

March 22, 2007

Hi everyone! First time posting, I've been reading with interest - very friendly helpful mailing list here! Hope I can help some in the future. We have about a dozen mailing lists running on majordomo, and are getting ready to migrate to mailman. We're excited! A persistent problem we've had is a significant amount of our users are AOL - and many are clueless. We're pretty ruthless about deleting AOL users when we get a report that someone is using their spam button - but even so a lot (… [View More]
