In my mailman/data sub-directory there are a bunch of files "bounce-eventsxxxx.pck" dated in the past, some 5 years old. Can I safely delete these? Dave

Archives not accessible

I was able to get the hostname resolved by running the fix_url script. Now I am running into a new problem. I am not able to access the archives of the lists I just created. The first list says "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /pipermail/jewel/ on this server." My second list is my 'mailman' list which when I click on archives it jumps back to the listinfo page. Below are my permissions. Permissions under /archives... drwxrwsr-x 4 mailman mailman 4096 Oct 14 15:30 . … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] HTML to TEXT but still see ATT

Ultimately, the issue is how Outlook displays a mime multipart message, but what happens to the message when footers are added and exactly how footers are added and what the mime structure of the final message is are all issues in which cPanel Mailman behaves differently from GNU Mailman in at least some cases. >I know from your posts that you hate html email, >… [View More]

HTML to TEXT but still see ATT
by John Whitney Oct. 22, 2008

Oct. 22, 2008

I have followed the instructions to strip HTML messages, but there's still an issue. Outlook users receive their footers as attachments. This is not the case with webmail clients, like Google. Is there a way to insure that the footer is included? I hate Outlook, but there are many corporate types that are forced to use it. My settings are (2.1.9.cp2): filter_content = yes, filter_mime_types = empty, pass_mime_types = empty, filter_filename_extensions = (standard list), … [View More]

Suggestion: do not include List-Id header on subscribe/unsubscribe messages
by Rich Kulawiec Oct. 22, 2008

Oct. 22, 2008

Reasoning: those messages are not actually mailing list traffic. Yes, they're related to the list, and they're about the list, but they're not being sent through the list per se. In addition, one of the things that I've noticed is that filtering/filing based on List-Id (say, a procmail recipe) will filter/file these messages along with ordinary list traffic. But I don't think that's desirable behavior; especially in case of unsubscribe notifications generated on the server side (say, due to … [View More]

Announce Only and CC
by John Whitney Oct. 21, 2008

Oct. 21, 2008

I have set-up an announce only Mailman implementation following suggestions from various websites. It's working, but there's one thing that I cannot figure out how to fix: Every message sent includes a Cc to the list, and a To for my email. If people "reply to all", they get my rejection notice since it's sending to the Cc as well as my email. Is there a way to configure Mailman NOT to include the Cc? Thanks.

Installing mailman in DMZ
by David Pradier Oct. 21, 2008

Oct. 21, 2008

Hi guys, before installing in production mailman, I'd like to check with you something. I would like to know if it is possible to install mailman on another machine than its webserver without using nfs ? What I understand is the cgi scripts and the mailman demon both need to access the same files, am I wrong ? If I'm right, allow me another question : Is the only way to have a webserver in dmz and mailman not in dmz, without using nfs, to use the webserver in dmz as a proxy and install … [View More]

Cannot access Mailman

Red Hat 5.1 Apache 2 Mailman 2.1.11 I am a newbie with Linux and am trying to get apache to see my Mailman install. I have Apache's default home page up and running fine but am not seeing Mailman. I have tried the full path also: http://localhost/mailman/listinfo/ and it doesn;t display anything. It's blank. I have also created the mailman list and checked perms and everything looks fine.

Extreme Slow delivery of messages
by faisal anif Oct. 20, 2008

Oct. 20, 2008

Hello I've recently purchased a dedicated server (P4 2.4, 1 GB RAM) with Cpanel/WHM .. I created a list with cpanel but noticed that exim is extremely slow in delivering the messages to the list although I changed the following settings in WHM: The maximum each domain can send out per hour (0 is unlimited) = 0 Number of minutes between mail server queue runs (default is 60) = 1 I checked with the server's providers, there are no constraints on the outgoing messages from the server. … [View More]
