Need ability to allow emails with specific subject line
by Savoy, Melinda Feb. 19, 2008

Feb. 19, 2008

I am new to the administrative functions of CPANEL and I've tried reading the Mailman online manual at the Python website but I cannot find an answer to my question. I have setup several email lists whereby only specific email addresses are accepted to go through to those defined in the email list. I would like to create the ability whereby if an email has specific text in the SUBJECT then, like the accepted email addresses, I would like these emails to be accepted as well and go through to … [View More]

Dumb question from a newby - Re-Phrased
by quinnten＠cheerful.com Feb. 19, 2008

Feb. 19, 2008

I appreciate y'all's responses. RESPONSE: "....Unless you really need the excitement of the technical administration, sticking with the moderation/human issues may be the best solution....." ME: I DO WANT THE EXCITEMENT AND THE FINER CONTROL OF TECHNICAL ADMINISTRATION. There is a good FAQ on making a Mailman list do what you want. It is not hard and requires no hacking at all. Just proper setting of parameters available from the web interface(s). RESPONSE: "....There is a good FAQ on … [View More]

mailmain starting twice
by Zbigniew Szalbot Feb. 19, 2008

Feb. 19, 2008

Hello, I am using mailman 2.1.9 on a FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE. My rc.conf only has one mailman entry defined: $ cat /etc/rc.conf |grep -c mailman 1 $ cat /etc/rc.conf |grep mailman mailman_enable="YES" However, when I restart the system, there are 16 qrunners. When I do /usr/local/mailman/bin/mailmanctl stop it shuts down 8 qrunners, leaving the others 8 running. When I repeat the procedure, it asks me that perhaps the qrunners aren't running (no pid) but greping ps ax shows 8 qrunners active. … [View More]

Dumb question from a newby
by quinnten＠cheerful.com Feb. 19, 2008

Feb. 19, 2008

This is a question from a complete novice so don't humor me with "there's no such thing as a dumb question". Beckground: I worked in IT for many years back in the days of DOS 3.3, Lotus 1-2 -3 and Word Perfect. I've even had the fun of being the sole Administrator of a Novell Netware network (no bosses) back in the dark days of computing. Question: Not being happy with the new fangled and pre-packaged Yahoo Groups, I'd like to manage my own mailing list. I like to do it myself. Once upon … [View More]

Footer Question
by Bruce Clark Feb. 19, 2008

Feb. 19, 2008

Hi All, Apologies if this is a bit simple; I have looked through the FAQ... I have a bit of footer text which I put in msg_footer (digest and non digest). Some people can see it, but some people cannot. Those that cannot see it, get a small file as an attachment (ATT). Am I doing something wrong, or would this be specific to a mail client? Thanks, Bruce.

Update member's fullname
by Fabiano Caixeta Duarte Feb. 14, 2008

Feb. 14, 2008

Hi folks! I realized that there are scripts for automating creation, deletion end listing of list's members. How can I update (actually insert) member's fullname in batch mode? I have a file which contains member's fullname and e-mail address. Members were added to mailman with any names associated.
