by steve Jan. 4, 2008

Jan. 4, 2008

Hello all, setting up mailman on linux 2.6.9 where mailman was installed I believe by a rpm file. The question is about the cron job. The documentation says to install the contents of the supplied file into the cron job of the user mailman % cd $prefix/cron % crontab -u mailman crontab.in Upon doing so, I got error messages from the cron job when it ran /bin/sh: mailman: command not found The cron entry failing looks like this 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * mailman /usr/… [View More]

Migrating and Upgrading
by Dave Warchol Jan. 4, 2008

Jan. 4, 2008

I need to migrate a very old Red Hat (7.3) mailman 2.0.13 (postfix MTA 1.1.7) installation to a SuSE SLES 10 box running mailman 2.1.7, postfix 2.2.9. I have the new box working in "test mode", temporary name/IP. My goal is to keep the SLES installation "turn key" using the standard packages that come with the distro. The question is what is the best/easiest method to migrate the lists from the old to the new. One method I have considered would be "brute force" (a little labor intensive, a … [View More]

fix_url script changes both web_page_url and host_name values
by Dan Mashal Jan. 4, 2008

Jan. 4, 2008

Is there any way to change only one at a time (i.e. only the web_page_url) value while using the withlist/fix_url script? For example I have the list using xxx.com but the list is hosted on mailman.yyy.com. How would I have a url host of mailman.yyy.com with the list using a hostname of xxx.com? Thanks, Dan

List of Mailing Lists
by Didier Trosset Jan. 3, 2008

Jan. 3, 2008

Hello, I am having a problem in the page that shows the list of publicly available lists: mailman/listinfo. It does not show the 9 lists that exists. All 9 are working correctly, and are marked as public. It shows either 8 of them, or the last 1 that I created. It changes between showing 8 and showing 1 when I change the configuration in the lists. If I change something in one of the 8, the next page update of mailman/listinfo will show the 8. If I change something in the latest list,… [View More]
