Never mind: Upgrading and changing machines
by Joshua J. Kugler May 8, 2007

May 8, 2007

I saw the "small" FAQ on the mailman site, but didn't catch the link to the large FAQ. I shall post if I have any questions after reading that.

Upgrading and changing machines
by Joshua J. Kugler May 8, 2007

May 8, 2007

I searched the archives, but only found this message: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-March/035371.html which had no reply. We're upgrading from 2.0.11-1woody1 to 2.1.5-9ubuntu4.1, and changing boxes in the process. I've read the docs, but haven't found anything about upgrading. Is there a documented procedure somewhere for upgrading? This page: http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/site.html the 'move_list' script, but there is no additional documentation about it, … [View More]

Random duplicate message to subscribers
by Jason LaMar May 7, 2007

May 7, 2007

We have a fairly large list (more than 26,000 subscribers), and recently it appears a very small fraction of the subscribers have started receiving duplicate messages -- sometimes as many as a dozen or more. This behavior just started happening within the last couple of weeks, and it seems to only impact a minute and random subset of the subscribers. Anyone seen similar behavior or have suggestions on the most effective way to troubleshoot this? We're running version 2.1.5 on Red Hat Linux ES, … [View More]

Temporarily Diable Entire List
by Robin Bartholomew May 7, 2007

May 7, 2007

I want to make sure some lists are definitely not used before deleting them. To temporarily disable a list, is moving the list directory (/home/mailman/lists/list_name) to a temporary directory an acceptable solution or is there a better way to go about this? Thanks you, -- Robin D. Bartholomew McClatchy Interactive (919) 861-1243 AIM:rbartmi

Not Moderating a Moderator's Posting
by Barry Finkel May 7, 2007

May 7, 2007

I have a Mailman 2.1.9 list where the membership is re-built from an external source. The list contains all of the occupants of a certain building who list an e-mail address in the Human Resources Database. I assumed that anyone on the list should be able to post to the list, but the building IT administrator wanted all of the postings to be moderated. We accomplished this via default_member_moderation = 1 We added some moderator e-mail addresses via the administrative web page, and … [View More]

May 7, 2007

I can't find it in the FAQ or listname-request help dialogue, but I thought there's a way to approve held messages by replying to the notice that I have held messages? Tnx - John

Problems, virtual-mailman not created
by Beech Rintoul May 6, 2007

May 6, 2007

I just installed Mailman for the first time and virtual-mailman is not being created. I'm using postfix and have the following in mm_cf.py: MTA = 'Postfix' POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/local/sbin/postalias' POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/usr/local/sbin/postmap' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['domain1.org', 'domain2.com'] Running "genaliases" created the aliases db, but there is no virtual_mailman or db. The virtual domains work and receive mail. What do I do next? Trying to create a new list in those … [View More]
