by Todd Seeleman April 7, 2008

April 7, 2008

Greetings, I'm currently running mailman-2.1.9 on a Tru64/Alpha system. I have archiving turned off for all the lists however I notice a large number of attachments stored in /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/<listname>. How can I manage and control the size & number of these attachments so they don't continue to consume more and more disk space?

Control of newsgroup posters
by David Beaumont April 6, 2008

April 6, 2008

Is there a simple way to control newsgroup posters? We interface our mailman list to a newsgroup. We find that not only do people who post via the newsgroup NOT have to subscribe to our email list, we also cannot hold their posts for moderation. We would like the opposite of both of these. Thanks, apologies if it is in the FAQ (which it usually is), I have searched in vain for the answer using 'newsgroup' and 'moderation'. David

Mailman autoresponder sends email from -bounces address?
by Kelly Jones April 6, 2008

April 6, 2008

We run a small internal mailing list, resumes(a)foo.com, that goes to several people in HR. In other words, we use resumes like a sendmail alias. We recently added an auto-reply that says "thanks for submitting your resume'". The auto-reply comes from "resumes-bounces(a)foo.com", which seems incorrect. I can see setting "Errors-To:" to this address and maybe even the envelope sender, but not the "From:" line. The problem: when someone replies (perhaps w/ more followup information), the reply … [View More]

Not receiving pending moderator request notifications
by admin＠evasfamily.com April 5, 2008

April 5, 2008

I have several mailing lists that are not sending me notifications for pending moderator requests. I do get new subscriber notifications. I have "Should the list moderators get immediate notice of new requests, as well as daily notices about collected ones?" set to "yes". I do not see that I have access to the logs (it appears to be above my level of access via Cpanel, although I do have shell access if it can be accessed that way). Is there anything I may be overlooking? Would it be … [View More]

Hosted Mailman or roll your own ?
by Jon Hind April 4, 2008

April 4, 2008

I Have a single mailman list with about 16 subscribers on Dreamhost. It's a private family mailing list. On dreamhost ones only interface is via the web admin interface which means that I Can't see the logs and can't manually edit any of the mailman files. I have problems with duplicate messages which I Haven't solved and also I feel the geeky need to get at the nuts and bolts. I should say that I'm not an IT professional, more of a long term dabbler. Also I Have limited time to poke around … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] format
by Con Wieland April 4, 2008

April 4, 2008

Is it possible to change the "RE" formating on a per list basis. I recently upgraded and I see this was changed in 2.1.6. BTW - I like the new format but it's those darn users-) Changed in 2.1.6 - New feature: subject_prefix can be configured to include a sequence number which is taken from the post_id variable. Also, the prefix is always put at the start of the subject, i.e. "[list-name] Re: original subject", if mm_cfg.OLD_STYLE_PREFIXING is set No. The … [View More]
