User's Profile - "Other incoming email addresses"
by Kathy Gee Feb. 6, 2008

Feb. 6, 2008

Does anyone know if there is a Mailman script (or a way) that can find email addresses that are entered in the "Other incoming email addresses" field of the user profile page? I have already tried using "find_member" script which does not include these "other" email addresses. I have also searched on the archive files and did not see anything remotely similar to my question. Thanks! Kathy

Default new users not able to post
by Robert Everson Feb. 6, 2008

Feb. 6, 2008

Is there anyway to have new users unable to post to the list? I got the list able to not get confirmation, and I (the admin) get emails whenever someone gets added to the list, for some security. However, it now seems like users are able to post to the list, whereas I only want one or two people to be able to post to this list. Is there anyway to default this so that new subscribers don't get the ability to post? Robert

Still Lost
by Thomas J Casey Feb. 6, 2008

Feb. 6, 2008

I'm not very technical so I need some more help please. Step me through in terms that are for dummies like me. I'll try to explain: I have 20+ Mailing Lists setup with each containing a unique set of individuals who are to receive email sent to the list. Some indididuals need the ability to send email to all mailing lists, while others should only be authorized to some of them. Here is where I'm confused. For each of my lists, I need for certain individuals to be able to be … [View More]

Porting from a 2.1.5 installation to 2.1.7
by Rob Tanner Feb. 6, 2008

Feb. 6, 2008

Hi, I am retiring a server running Mailman 2.1.5 and need to port everything to a server running 2.1.7 (Fedora Core distribution). Can I take the lists directory and simply copy it from one server to another (i.e., is the format of the various files the same)? Is there anything else that needs to be copied? Thanks, Rob -- Rob Tanner UNIX Services Manager Linfield College, McMinnville OR

Feb. 6, 2008

Is there a way to turn off the monthly Memberships Reminder EMail. I have an announcements list and don't want any additional EMail. I have searched on Google and the Archives, for this but all I see is how to turn off the Password Reminder, which is already off. Thanks for your help. ------------------------------------------------------- Victor M.J. Ryden

adding REL="nofollow" in Mailman's archives
by Tomasz Chmielewski Feb. 5, 2008

Feb. 5, 2008

As some of the mailing lists I administer experience a steady flow of spam, I was looking for a way to add REL="nofollow" attribute to Mailman's messages. As I didn't find a way to do it in Mailman, and I don't know enough of Python, I decided to write a simple Perl script which does it. This is one of my first bites at Perl, so be gentle: http://wpkg.org/REL=%22nofollow%22_and_Mailman For some, REL="nofollow" may be controversial, though. -- Tomasz Chmielewski

Scripts Associated with Log File Rotation
by Greg Sims Feb. 5, 2008

Feb. 5, 2008

Hi There, I have been studying the mailman code this morning to find a way to do some processing when the mailman logs are rotated. My goal is to process the data in /var/log/mailman/subscribe.1 and /var/log/mailman/bounce.1 just after they are rotated. I reviewed the file /etc/logrotate.d/mailman on my RHEL system which seems to control rotating the logs - below is a copy of the file for reference. /var/log/mailman/bounce /var/log/mailman/digest /var/log/mailman/error /var/log/… [View More]
