Creating a list
by Layne Meier March 25, 2008

March 25, 2008

I'm installing a brand new mailman list server and am having some problems. When I attempt to create a new mail list, I get the following error message: Error: Unknown virtual host: listserver.hiddendomain.gtld (Hiding the domain to protect the innocent). I know this is probably something that has been covered in the past, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm installing this on a Sun v100, running Apache. The Apache config has multiple virtual hosts listed. Layne Meier

Hi, I have searched through the archives and I have found the question, but never the answer. I maintain some lists and 99% or more of what I get to the admin address spam that has been effectively been dealt with. It got so I just told everyone one the list to write me directly with problems and once every couple of weeks I would delete everything that came to the admin. I went a way for a couple of months and now there is so much stuff, I can't get rid if it. The Web interface times … [View More]

corporate spam filter operation
by Matt Morgan March 22, 2008

March 22, 2008

This question is a little off-topic. Are there corporate, enterprise spam-killing services that work on a user-by-user basis, rather than a message-by-message basis? For example, where the same message, sent to a few different people, might be rejected as spam for one recipient but not others? I'm seeing failures in patterns I didn't expect. We often have many members in the same domain. I thought I'd see that every message to a domain was rejected (because it was judged to be spam), or that … [View More]

merging 2 mbox files
by Mark Heer March 22, 2008

March 22, 2008

Hello, We are moving from majordomo to mailan. We use 2 mail hubs to handle mail service so mail can be handled by either machine which means some archive entries for a particular list will end up on mx1 and other posts may end up in the archives on mx2. I need to combine the archives into 1 for display on our web archive - which is on yet another machine running mailman but not the mx functions. I attempted /bin/arch --wipe listname but it did not re-order the list by time sent/proper … [View More]
