How to change subscriber address
by Mailman Users May 22, 2007

May 22, 2007

I'm running Mailman 2.1.9 with RHEL. Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 1) The question is how can a user change their subscription address? The web page http://system.name/mailman/options/listname shows a place to enter a new address. This does not actually change the user's subscription address. What do I have wrong here? Thanks.

single list has stopped working while others continue to work
by Wallace Winfrey May 22, 2007

May 22, 2007

Hello I am running mailman v.2.1.5 (installed from source) on RHEL ES 3 using kernel 2.4.21-47. We are using Sendmail 8.12.11. We have been running this version of mailman successfully for the last two years with few problems. However, today I seem to have run into a real head-scratcher. We run a dozen or so lists, most of which are unmoderated, two-way lists. We also run a couple moderated, one-way announcement lists, one of which seems to have stopped working sometime this afternoon. The … [View More]

Negligent admin needs help
by kevinc＠seaplace.org May 21, 2007

May 21, 2007

Hi all. The problem with great software is that one becomes use to it just working... Alas, I've been negligent. Per some date stamps, apparently about 2 weeks ago my /usr/local filesystem filled up - causing mailman (/usr/local/mailman) some grief. Last night I moved /usr/local/mailman to /var/mailman, created a symbolic link, and now have 40X more space. I rather figured that would do the trick, but alas, I apparently have another problem. Now (and I don't think its related to the … [View More]

TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported
by James Davis May 20, 2007

May 20, 2007

mailman 2.1.5-8sarge5 running on Debian 4.0. It's actually a custom package I built myself with only minor changes for my mail environment. It's an odd one... A search of Google and the archives shows that it's been discussed before but with no definitive answer. One user is having problems posting to a list. Mailman's error log shows the following error, the e-mail which caused the problem is also supplied below. Any idea what's causing this problem?

Suprised unsubscribes
by Brian Carpenter May 18, 2007

May 18, 2007

Hi List: I had a client report to me this morning that several of his lists mysteriously unsubscribed members of the list without their permission or interventions. As far as I can tell these members were not generating any bounces. I checked the FAQ and archives of this list but I found nothing that would explain this behavior. Could there be any other possible reasons for this other than: 1. Intentional action by member 2. Intentional action by administrator 3. Bounce removal Any … [View More]

After months of successful use of Mailman 2.1.5 for several lists, my hosting company "accidentally" unistalled Mailman. The have since "reinstalled" it, and it looks like all necessary files in var are there etc. However no messages are apparently received (a moderated list---never shows a pending moderator request), nor sent (no notifications to administrator or mail delivered to recipients It is a virtual host and the "add_virtual host ('www.mydomain.ext') was originally set up … [View More]
