Editing Subscriber Options page html and viewing/checking the results
by Rachel Mawhood Aug. 4, 2008

Aug. 4, 2008

This question is about editing the html on the Subscriber Options page. I have begun editing this to give it the same "look and feel" as the rest of the client's web site (as I have already done for the public information page). Is there somewhere, a URL where I can (as Admin) can view the changes I have made in my browser, please? We haven't sent out the first "welcome" message yet, so I don't have a Mailman-generated password, only the Admin one. Thank you. Rachel

E-Mail arrives as HTML attachment
by Wendy Plotkin Aug. 4, 2008

Aug. 4, 2008

My e-mail from one of your lists, sent to the Outlook exchange account I have at my university, always end up as an .html attachment, which I have to click on to read. Is this something related to the configuration of the list, or something at my end?

line returns missing
by Michael Welch Aug. 4, 2008

Aug. 4, 2008

Hi gang. Every now and then, I get messages from the list that display with no line returns. I have seen this happen on this Mailman-Users list, and recall that the problem was that Eudora for Windows did not handle a particular type of charset properly. Now I am getting these occasionally from my own list. I do not recall this happening with anything other than messages from Mailman. None of my list members have complained (yet), but I would love to have your opinion if this is a list problem … [View More]

Periods in user email addresses rejected
by Jay Deiman Aug. 4, 2008

Aug. 4, 2008

I just got mailman up and running with Postfix and everything has been working perfectly except when someone tries to subscribe to the list that has a period in the "user" portion of the address. For example: fname.lname(a)domain.org. It gets rejected as an invalid email address by the web interface. First, is this a setting somewhere that can be changed? I've searched through the administrative settings and can't seem to find it. I've also looked through the FAQs and can't find any … [View More]

Complaining Outlook users
by Andrew Hodgson Aug. 3, 2008

Aug. 3, 2008

Hi, Since I moved my list from Freelists to our own server running Mailman (2.1.11), I am getting complaints from Outlook users, and quite a few of them are managing to post messages to the bounce address. When they are viewing the message, it appears to be coming from "listname-bounces(a)domain.com on behalf of Real user", and this also appears in the reply text as well: -----Original Message----- From: blind-sysadmins-bounces(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.… [View More]

Question re: lists in 'accept_these_nonmembers'
by Simon Aug. 2, 2008

Aug. 2, 2008

Ok, second question... Since I just upgraded to 2.1.11, I'd like to streamline things a little and make use of the ability to add lists to the 'accept_these_nonmembers' filter. My question basically is, what happens if I add a list in the 'accept_these_nonmembers' list, but that list contains another list as well as individual subscribers? From what I can tell, it *looks* like it won't hurt anything, but the members of that nested lists will still have to added individually in order … [View More]

I'm running Mailman 2.1.8 and have encountered a problem with email addresses starting with underscores.
