Mailman with remote smtp
by Meenal Pant July 13, 2007

July 13, 2007

I had sent an email to this list sometime ago with a question about using Mailman with a remote smtp server.

different attachment for different email
by Donatas July 13, 2007

July 13, 2007

Hello, I need to sent messages su 150-300 emails. But I need to attach a different attatchment for a different email. The attatchments differ, it can be any file with any extention (e.g. doc, xls, txt, jpg). I imagine, that attatchments should be attatched from some kind of foldels for eatch email. aaa(a)bbbb.com takes attatchment from "hehe" folder xxx.(a)asdasdasd.net takes attatchments from "xoxo" folder and so on... Any ideas, working solutions?

July 12, 2007

Hi - I hope you can help me. Our previous product manager installed Mailman and set up some mailing lists. One list I am trying to use keeps defaulting to another and I cannot work out why. The people who knew how to work all this have left and I am really struggling to sort out what to do but I am not a technical person. I have successfully sent out several simple updates to 2 other lists. The list I am trying to send to has 59 addresses - the list it defaults to is an in-house … [View More]
