multi-list admin report
by Fulvio Casali Dec. 8, 2008

Dec. 8, 2008

I manage a few dozen lists on one domain, and I would like to get a view of all my lists at a glance, with info for each list: - #of subscribers, - names of moderators, - date of most recent post, - total# of posts, - etc. Is there such a control panel / admin report? I have version 2.1.11. Thanks! fulvio

Multiple subscribers set in mailman
by swapan mitra Dec. 8, 2008

Dec. 8, 2008

Hi, I am new to mailman and I have List Administrator access only to the mailing list. Can I do the following and if yes how can I do that: We have series of messages (all messages are interlinked by topic) which we want to share with our mailing list subscribers. Now this is fine with already subscribed mailing list members. But who joins new into the same Mailing list we want to send them, messages from the first one and onwards how can we do that? As the new subscribers are only receives … [View More]

Tend to pending moderator requests - Nothing happens
by hammond＠txcorp.com Dec. 8, 2008

Dec. 8, 2008

When I select Accept (or any action)/ Submit All Data in the list of pending posts, nothing happens. The page is sent, because I see the URL at the top being refreshed, but the pending message is not deleted or accepted. /var/lib/mailman is nfs-mounted, and exported rw,no_root_squash to the apache server. I've been searching for a list of permissions/ownership for the directories. It must be a permissions issue?? Currently: drwxrwsr-x 6 root mailman 4096 Dec 5 12:10 . drwxr-xr-x 34 … [View More]

listhost vs hostname vs host_name
by Will Dec. 8, 2008

Dec. 8, 2008

Hi - so we have an automated setup between a CMS forum and mailman to create lists, having a little confusion about what values to pass config_list trying to understand what these three values govern: listhost vs hostname vs host_name right now we set -e emailhost via newlist, this has resulted in some incorrect data displaying in emails. this seems to set the listhost value but not host_name or hostname. we are attaching all lists to a subdomain. so like somelist(a)sub.domain.com … [View More]

Shunting problem and suggestions
by Steve Campbell Dec. 8, 2008

Dec. 8, 2008

I've got a single user out of approximately 250 that seems to always get shunted. It's a problem with extended character set characters being sent. She uses Outlook for an MUA. Can a user be whitelisted in any way to prevent the shunt tests from being done? Where might I look on her machine to discover what might be causing her Outlook to send these characters? We have many Outlook users, and she seems to be the only one with this problem? I'm guessing it's characters like the single and … [View More]

Problem with a single list
by Charlie Clark Dec. 7, 2008

Dec. 7, 2008

Hi, we have a problem with just one of our mailing lists. Unfortunately I do not have direct access to the Mailman install. There are lots of errors of the form: Oct 16 21:45:01 2008 (2881) SHUNTING: 1224186301.857964+44d57ae24346f2e593571310b2fb5a9262fdf059 Oct 16 21:50:03 2008 (2881) Uncaught runner exception: bad marshal data Oct 16 21:50:03 2008 (2881) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 105, in _oneloop self._onefile(msg, … [View More]

Moving server and location
by Marc Beyer Dec. 7, 2008

Dec. 7, 2008

Hi, I'm trying to move the lists and archives of an existing Mailman 2.1.8 installation to a new server with a newly installed 2.1.11 version. On the old server, everything was kept under /opt/mailman-2.1.8, whereas on the new one (due to disk space issues) the archives and lists should be kept separately under /var/adm. Both of this is on HP-UX btw. This is my configure-line for the new install: /configure --prefix=/opt/mailman-2.1.11/ --with-mail-gid=mailman --with-var-prefix=/var/adm/… [View More]

Duplicate detection: a plea
by Dan Mahoney, System Admin Dec. 6, 2008

Dec. 6, 2008

We recently moved over to mailman from Ecartis at $dayjob, and one of the largest annoyances is that mailman seems to have no ability to strip duplicate messages that are sent to the lists. We moved over from our main domain name, foo.com, to lists.foo.com, so what happens is this: A user posts to list(a)foo.com -- the mailer forwards it to list(a)lists.foo.com. People reply to the list and hit reply-all, which directs replies to the LIST (listname(a)lists.foo.com) but also to the … [View More]
