Users NOT getting multiple copies of the same message, and they WANT them
by McNutt Jr, William R April 20, 2007

April 20, 2007

I have some users who post the same message to multiple lists. They are on these lists. And they want to see each copy of the message from each list. That way they "know the lists are working." Recently they've noticed that although the messages show up in the archives, they are not getting a copy of the message from each list, only the first one. Is this a mailman feature? Bill McNutt

Placing a list member on "hold"
by Karl Zander April 20, 2007

April 20, 2007

Is there a away to place a list member on "hold". That is, set them to "nomail" and prevent them from logging in to change back to getting mail. Of course we can unsubscribe the member. We have a need to sometimes review a member's membership status on the lists. The list administrators would like to temporarily place them on hold without have to unsubscribe them while this review is underway. --Karl

Support for Cpanel users?
by Tracey McCartney April 19, 2007

April 19, 2007

I understand from reading the archives that this is not the best place for people to get support if they are simply administering Mailman lists on remote hosts through Cpanel. Does anyone know of a good source of such support? User-to-user support is fine, because I know the Cpanel forums are intended to assist purchasers rather than end-users. Most of the hosts I've dealt with also know precious little about Mailman. Thanks, Tracey -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked … [View More]

Importing archives again
by Ivan Van Laningham April 19, 2007

April 19, 2007

Hi All-- There's a FAQ entry on importing archives. However, if the instructions are followed, the existing list.mbox would be overwritten with an old archive. That surely cannot be right. Can I put it someplace else in order to import it? Shouldn't I lock the list while running bin/arch? I've got seven years worth of archives to do for as many lists, so I'd really like to get this right. I'd be happy to edit the FAQ once I know the proper steps. (And if I missed the answers in my … [View More]

List owner changes anomalies
by David Southwell April 19, 2007

April 19, 2007

Hi On a list the email address for the list owner was changed. 1. When logging on to admin/listname the old owner run by address is shown on the Administrator Authentication page. 2. Clicking on the run by address in the Administrator Authentication page causes the old address to be passed to mail program. 3. On the Mailing list general options page the new owners run by address is shown. 4 Clicking on the run by address in Mailing list general options page causes the old address to be … [View More]

Configuration check
by David Southwell April 19, 2007

April 19, 2007

Hi Is there a mailman command that dumps the current running configuration options? I have been having trouble with the --with-mail-gid=mailman option and errors reports. I am wanting to check whether I am getting the errors messages. This means either --with-mail-gid=mailman is not set OR something else is going wrong. I believe the latter to be the case OR something is not correct with the compile. david

Managing lists as a non-root/Mailman user
by Martyn Drake April 19, 2007

April 19, 2007

Hello, For the purposes of automation, I need to be able to run the various management scripts neither as root or Mailman (primarily because the script will be run by a network account not local to the Mailman machine). What would be the easiest way of doing this? Create a network group called Mailman and add the user to that? Regards, Martyn -- Email : martyn(a)drake.org.uk

Format for multiple add_virtualhost entries
by David Southwell April 18, 2007

April 18, 2007

What is the correct format for multiple add_virtualhost entries in mm_cfg.py Single is shown as: add_virtualhost('virtualURL', 'virtualmailserver') Could someone please give an example for multiples where more than one entry line is required (prefer one url and mailserver pair per line. Thanks in advance david
