option to send mail but disallow posting
by Michael Welch Sept. 20, 2007

Sept. 20, 2007

Hi gang. Beginner Mailman question here. Is there a subscription option which allows receipt of all list emails, but disallows some members from posting? It would need to be something that is Admin settable, but cannot be changed by the subscriber. I understand that I can put these folks on moderation and then delete any attempt to post, but I would rather have a hands-off method. This Mailman installation will be hosted by DreamHost, so I do not have access to command-line tools. - - - - -… [View More]

migrating Mailman server
by Peter Matulis Sept. 20, 2007

Sept. 20, 2007

I have the task of setting up a replacement for an existing Mailman/Postfix server. I am new to Mailman and I am looking for some guidance in this transition. Mailman is currently being used solely as a diffusion of information. That is, it does not accept contributions from list members (read-only). Firstly, should I attempt to migrate data/files over to the new system or should I start fresh? The new system will be running OpenBSD 4.0. Other comments welcome. Peter

Mailman charset problems
by Pál Viktor Sept. 19, 2007

Sept. 19, 2007

Hi! I have a problem with the mailman web interface output. I use the hungarian translation, which should be generated as an ISO-8859-2 html file, but it generates an UTF-8 output. I have checked the text files which are related to the web output and they are all in ISO-8859-2. It seems to me like mailman would read the files in ISO-8859-2, and after that it converts it to UTF-8 and generates the html output. This is the add language row of my /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py file. … [View More]

Membership List View in admin section
by Brian Luria Sept. 19, 2007

Sept. 19, 2007

Is there a way to set it to just show all the members so I can scroll down, without having to use the alphabetical listing? I have a list with 47 members so it wouldnt be that big. It seems like there's a setting where if the list is up to a certain number of members, then it lists them, otherwise it goes to the other format. Thanks in advance.

Confusion between sendmail and mailman for hostnames
by Chris Waltham Sept. 19, 2007

Sept. 19, 2007

I must confess that it has been, well, years since I've used sendmail, and I guess things have changed in the meantime. Apparently there's this new sendmail.mc file? :-) Seriously though, I'm having difficulty getting sendmail (8.13.1) and Mailman (2.1.9) to play nice under RHEL 4. I have a new server called bingham.testing.bowdoin.edu, which has a CNAME in DNS so that newlists.bowdoin.edu points to bingham.testing.bowdoin.edu. Because bingham will do other things than just … [View More]

Problem with URL host installing v2.1.9
by Rob Tanner Sept. 18, 2007

Sept. 18, 2007

Hi, This is a new install and not an update. I first ran configure with no options and then built/installed mailman. Then I reran configure with the argument: --with-urlhost=www.linfield.edu. I also verified Defaults.py: DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.linfield.edu'. The problem is that the banners (stuff in the blue bar at the top of the page) all show the host name of the machine and not the URL host. Also, how do I give myself the authority to create lists from the web as opposed to … [View More]

How to allow mail from domain.edu but no others?
by Chris Waltham Sept. 18, 2007

Sept. 18, 2007

Hi all, I'd like to allow both list members and non-list members to be able to post to a mailing list I help admin. So, I want to allow *(a)bowdoin.edu to post, but no other domain names. Is there an easy way to do accomplish that? Looking at the web interface, I would ordinarily use the member_posting_only feature but that won't work in this case (because non-list members need to be able to post to the list, so long as they're from *(a)bowdoin.edu). Is there a way to accomplish … [View More]
