by Marco Lechner Oct. 26, 2008

Oct. 26, 2008

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi list, i'm searching for a way (script, software, ...) to import a pipermail-archive (formated like the archives of this list) into a relational SQL-database (MySQL or PostgreSQL) incl. the thread- and date-based structure. For my PhD I want to analyse a mailinglist on specific topics searching for keywords, ... and do some statistics on it. Any ideas?

How did I break my mailman?
by TGPlatt, WebMaster Oct. 24, 2008

Oct. 24, 2008

I took an existing mailman web account that was working just fine and moved it from our test directory to our production directory. Mailman remains unchanged. Relative paths are all the same as they were before. I checked that. Subscriptions still work (as long as "confirm" is turned off in the privacy options) and all the admin functions seem to work as well. Yet, suddenly mailman seems unable to send out emails to any of its subscribers. It can't even send out new subscriber confirmation … [View More]

mailman + postfix + Debian -> does not deliver any messages
by Bruno Guimarães Sousa Oct. 24, 2008

Oct. 24, 2008

Hi, My server is running Debian 4 + postfix 2.3.8-2+etch1 + mailman 1:2.1.9-7 I created 2 new mailing lists through browser (mailman administration) And then created new entries for these new mailing lists in /etc/aliases like this: *#profs-val "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post profs-val" #profs-val-admin "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin profs-val" #profs-val-bounces "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces profs-val" #profs-val-confirm "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm profs-val" #… [View More]profs-val-join "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join profs-val" #profs-val-leave "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave profs-val" #profs-val-owner "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner profs-val" #profs-val-request "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request profs-val" #profs-val-subscribe "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe profs-val" #profs-val-unsubscribe "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe profs-val" #tecadm-val "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post tecadm-val" #tecadm-val-admin "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin tecadm-val" #tecadm-val-bounces "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces tecadm-val" #tecadm-val-confirm "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm tecadm-val" #tecadm-val-join "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join tecadm-val" #tecadm-val-leave "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave tecadm-val" #tecadm-val-owner "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner tecadm-val" #tecadm-val-request "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request tecadm-val" #tecadm-val-subscribe "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe tecadm-val" #tecadm-val-unsubscribe "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe tecadm-val" * Mailing lists always worked for me creating them like this. But this time, when i restarted mailman, it showed me an error message and filled "/" partition with files in /var/lib/mailman (i don't know which files are these). Then "/" partition had zero of free space and postfix stopped working well. After i reduced disk usage, mailman is up and postfix is delivering messages fine. The problem is that none of the mailing lists are working, neither the 2 new ones nor the old ones. *# ps aux | grep mailman list 19715 0.0 0.1 10180 6208 ?

Blocking a person from getting a single email
by Kevin Rector Oct. 24, 2008

Oct. 24, 2008

Hello, I administer a list and I want to send an email to everyone on the list except one person (we're getting him a Christmas gift and want it to stay secret from him). My plan is to set his nomail flag to on and then send the email then after getting the email in my inbox turning off his nomail (so that he'll get mail again). It's a low traffic list so there is no real risk of him missing any other emails. He doesn't get a digest and he is a list administrator and I'm using version 2.1.… [View More]

Question about footers (again)
by Allan Trick Oct. 23, 2008

Oct. 23, 2008

Some members of the list posted back in 2003 about known problems with footers not appearing in mail readers like Outlook using default settings. I'm using Mailman 2.1.5 and wondering if I upgrade to a newer version will I get any better results with messages going out that "hide" the footer as an attachment? I suspect the problem is, as was explained in some of those old list messages, that senders are sending RTF or HTML, but the footer is plain text, so Mailman separates them. If MM … [View More]

Question on version 2.1.11
by Brian Carpenter Oct. 23, 2008

Oct. 23, 2008

Hello Everyone: I have a quick question. I have a client who wishes to modify the password for a list member that has been added manually. However he is getting the following message: "The list administrator may not change the password for a user" Evidently this worked in the previous version but not in 2.1.11. Is there another method that the list admin can use to get this done? Here is the original question posted to me: " The way my lists work is that when a user send in a subscription … [View More]

Mass add a single email address
by Brian Carpenter Oct. 23, 2008

Oct. 23, 2008

Hello everyone: Is there a way to add a single e-mail addy to about 30 lists at once? This needs to be done on a server that runs mailman in a cpanel and virtual host environment. The add_members options does not seem to allow for this.

Using Email commands for List Subscription and Email Changes
by Brian Canty Oct. 22, 2008

Oct. 22, 2008

I currently use Majordomo for a good majority of my email lists. I am looking to convert my lists to Mailman. I am trying to find a way where I can issue commands via email that will get me results. For example currently I can send an email and in the body I can say Which <email address> And I get a return email address back to the lists that email address is subscribed. At this point I can than issue Unsubscribe and Subscribe commands via email. Is this at all possible in mailman? … [View More]
