changing Mailman layout

Dear all, Where do I look to change Mailman layout (I know where to change individual lists) but not sure where are files for domian.tld/mailman/listinfo located. I'd like to customize Mailman to look more like our organization's website. Many thanks in advance! -- Zbigniew Szalbot www.LCWords.com

Default new_member_options - no mail?
by Simon Aug. 18, 2008

Aug. 18, 2008

Hi, Is there a way to set the default new_member_option to no mail? Apparently you can't from the GUI, but is there a way to do this in mm_cfg.py or somewhere else? Thanks...

admin_member_chunksize - can't set to larger than 29
by Simon Aug. 18, 2008

Aug. 18, 2008

Probably something obvious I'm missing... Oh - I'm on mailman 2.1.11 for this and the other question I had about setting the default new_member_options to no mail for a list... I can change the admin_member_chunksize on the General Options page, but setting it to anything larger than 29 doesn't allow me to see more than 29 members on a page... if I set it to 20, it does limit the number displayed to 20... Is there a max setting somewhere that I have to override in mm_cfg.py or somewhere else,… [View More]

Syntax Error..
by Khalil Abbas Aug. 16, 2008

Aug. 16, 2008

Dear mailman guys, I'm installing mailman on a dedicated server with debian, when trying to integrate mailman with postfix by changing the mm_cfg.py and un-commenting the MTA line: #-------------------------------------------------------------# Uncomment if you use Postfix virtual domains, but be sure to# read /usr/share/doc/mailman/README.POSTFIX first. MTA='Postfix' it gives me the followng error when I try to do anything, for example creating a new list: ******************************… [View More]

Could that possibly be the >reason those emails aren't receiving the messages I send to the mailing >list? Posts From: a gmail address will never be received back at that address. See <http://wiki.list.org/x/2IA9>. It is not clear to me from the above where the post was received. If it was received by the gmail address and not by the local server addresses, it's possible there's some issue relating to that, but did these addresses receive their list welcome or other mail from Mailman? If so, then Mailman can send to them and that isn't the problem. The address that sent the post will not receive it if 'not metoo' is checked in the admin Membership List. Also, addresses which have 'digest' checked will only receive digests, not messages (for an announcement type list, you probably want Digest options -> digestable set to No). -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Topics

I have a simple html form and script that allows users to subscribe or cancel a mailman account. I would like to add to this form and script the ability to select topics rather than having the user go to the options page. Is there something I can add after mylist-subscribe(a)mymailman.com that would pass along the correct parameters for setting a topic choice? H.L.
