Join List Problem
by Bill Honneus (honneus) May 6, 2008

May 6, 2008

Hi, I have my mailman set up and configured on my sendmail server as per the instructions in the Mailman Installation Manual. I was able to create a list called "test" using the newlist command line option, and got a confirmation email at the list owner's address. I have defined the aliases for test in my mailman.aliases file in /etc, separate from my aliases declarations. When I send an email to test-join(a)my.domain.com, I get the following returned email error: ----- Forwarded Message … [View More]

Outlook verification receipt via Mailman?
by Tim Tyler May 6, 2008

May 6, 2008

Mailman experts, We are running Mailman 2.1.9 on a Centos server. I recently had a request from a list owner that they would like to use the "Request a delivery receipt for this message" option in Outlook to all members in a particular list to verify that users have opened a message. However, mailman seems to corrupt the delivery of this feature. It works fine if she sends directly to users, but it fails if sent through mailman. I know that other pop clients also have this feature … [View More]

Default URL Host Issue
by Bill Honneus (honneus) May 6, 2008

May 6, 2008

Hi, I am having two problems with my Mailman web server. First, I seem to be having a problem with setting my DEFAULT_URL_HOST. When I first configured my mm_cfg.py, I had both my DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and my DEFAULT_URL_HOST set to my.domain.com. But I needed to change the URL to my-hostname.domain.com because I had a conflict with the my.domain.com redirecting me to another web server in our topology. So I made the change to my mm_cfg.py file as appears below and I re-ran the controller "… [View More]

May 6, 2008

Hi, I have the Mailman web interface up and running, and I'm getting an error when I try to create a list using the create page. I'm going to this URL to create a new list, where 111.111.111.111 is the private IP address on our LAN segment: http://111.111.111.111/mailman/create <http://111.111.111.111/mailman/create> I'm using my site password to try and submit the form. However, when I click "Create List", I get the following error: Error: Unknown virtual host: 111.111.111.111 … [View More]

Running into a coding bug in 2.1.10 and 2.1.10rc1
by ecsd May 5, 2008

May 5, 2008

I've tried both 2.1.10rc1 and 2.1.10, running with Python 2.5 on FreeBSD 6.2. I'm getting PYTHON errors that suggest code mismatch or something, I installed 2.1.10rc1 first and then brought over lists and archives from a different host running 2.1.5. I did not know what to do to upgrade post-install, then I found a note about using "withlist" with "fix_url", but that fails and upon installing the earlier version, 2.1.10, telling "update" to FORCE updates, it crashed with complaint about "No … [View More]

Feature request: Easier to ban members
by Cyndi Norwitz May 5, 2008

May 5, 2008

I'm putting this here first for feedback. If you want me to submit it anywhere, let me know. I am running version 2.1.9. I have no control over which version it is. If this has been updated, great. I have run into the problem of it being difficult to ban someone. If the person is not a subscriber and they try to post a message (all non-subscribers are set to moderation unless I explicitly allow them), all I have to do is click on "ban" as I reject or discard their message. But what if it'… [View More]

List of owners and subscribers
by Melinda Gilmore May 5, 2008

May 5, 2008

Has anyone out there put together and scripts that might extract out owners and subscribers to a list. Where you could see all the list and all their subscribers in one place. We have a group of list here that not everyone is on, but they are closely related to the lists, and someone had put together just an excel spreadsheet with links to see who was on the list. This is a very cumbersome process. The need for this type of a list is used several ways, as in if a user is on one list they … [View More]
