Disable word-wrap?
by Jan Steinman June 19, 2008

June 19, 2008

I've done a quick scan of wiki.list.org, used grep and locate to try to find config options, and still cannot determine how to adjust the word-wrapping behaviour of Mailman. I often send out long links to unsophisticated audiences, who then tell me "the link is broken" when Mailman breaks the link in order to wrap the line to some specific length. I'd rather not go the tinyurl opaque reference route, since the links I send are meaningfully read by my few sophisticated users. Is … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] list messages lost to Hotmail subscribers lost
by Jeff Donsbach June 19, 2008

June 19, 2008

I don't know what happened, but earlier this morning, my subscribers started getting list messages delivered on Hotmail again. We didn't do anything, other than to ask a few of our subscribers to add our domain to their "Safe List". At least for now, our issue seems to have solved itself ...... until next time that is. Thanks to everyone who responded.

by Manuel Goepfert June 19, 2008

June 19, 2008

Hi Everybody, I'm currently moving to a new server my lists. Old version is 2.1.7 new version is 2.1.9 While moving the lists themself is really easy, I have an issue with the archives. It seems that the "accents" like éèà are not properly handled. The content-type from the headers is charset=ISO-8859-1 I've tryed to google or look into the FAQ without success so far, if you could point me to a page or advice how i could proceed ? Many thanks Manuel

by cpenn＠srcc.lsu.edu June 19, 2008

June 19, 2008

Im using a qmailtoaster as described here: http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/CentOS_5_QmailToaster_Install My developers have insisted on using mailman instead of EZMLM. Its all the same to me. I have installed mailman into /home/mailman/mydomain/ Everything was working fine. I seriously have no idea why mailman stopped working. It was like one day, I got a call, and it was no longer working. when i stop/start/restart with mailmanctl, things seem fine, no errors. The web interface … [View More]

Web UI request
by Dragon June 19, 2008

June 19, 2008

Mark Sapiro mentioned in another post that the web UI is in need of an update/overhaul. I'd like to make one feature request for that which came to light with a bunch of non-technical users on one of my lists. It is not obvious from the list information page how one would obtain a password reminder. You have to click the "Unsubscribe or edit options" button to get to the page with the password reminder button. This really needs to be FAR more obvious. It really should be an item on the … [View More]

Encoding problems
by Allan Odgaard June 19, 2008

June 19, 2008

Some of my subscribers have accents and similar in their name and I had to do the following post install to have Mailman properly work with these: ## CLI In order to get `list_members -f «list»` to properly output non-ASCII user names I had to put the following: import sys sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8') Into `/etc/python2.5/sitecustomize.py`. This is despite proper setup of `LC_CTYPE` on the system. Seems to me Mailman should use the encoding of the current locale, not … [View More]

List archive threading (pipermail)
by Allan Odgaard June 19, 2008

June 19, 2008

I copied a list’s mbox to a new server and regenerated the archive. Unfortunately threading is not rendered satisfyingly, here are the two Mailman/pipermail versions: Old: http://lists.textdrive.com/pipermail/textmate/2008-January/thread.html New: http://lists.macromates.com/textmate/2008-January/thread.html The new one is using wrong indent levels for letters.

How to change following mail header shown by hotmail?
by Bob001 June 19, 2008

June 19, 2008

Dear Experts, Can this header be changed? If so, how to do it? ---- From: test-bounces(a)domain.name on behalf of USER_NAME (user_name(a)domain.name) Sent: Wed 6/18/08 8:06 PM To: test(a)domain.name ----- Basically, "on behalf of" is really confusing and also spam looking.. Also, if there are many ways to change it, kindly list all..i want to try in which signatures aren't broken. Thanks a bunch. - Bob. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-change-following-mail-… [View More]

list messages lost to Hotmail subscribers lost
by Jeff Donsbach June 19, 2008

June 19, 2008

Hi, I recently started having delivery problems with list messages to Hotmail subscribers. The problem seems to have started on or around June 10. I checked the syslog file and was seeing occasional (452 too many recipients for delivery) errors. I changed SMTP_MAX_RCPTS to 5 and SMTP_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_CONNECTION to 5 as well. That seems to have cleared up the '452' errors. All messages handed off to Hotmail users in the last 24 hours or so have (250 <messageid(a)domain.tld> Queued mail … [View More]
