getting list members from mysql
by Peter Molnar Sept. 14, 2008

Sept. 14, 2008

Hi! I'd like to get the members of a certain Mailman mailing list from a MySQL database, preferebly online. (Not refreshing Mailman's DB periodically, but getting Mailman to use my MySQL DB instead of its own). If this is not possile, then please help me, how can I refresh Mailman's DB using a script(that reads from my MySQL DB) (I only want to get one single mailing list to fetch members from MySQL, the other lists would use the standard Mailman DB) regards, Petya

Hi, With mailman 2.1.9-7 under debian, a subscriber post a message on a list with "Content-Type: text/plain; charset ="iso-8859-1" and many people get the message without accents. The same message sent directly does not have this problem. Mailman change something at this level? How to solve the problem? Thanks Denis

Base64 encoding?
by Jim Garrison Sept. 12, 2008

Sept. 12, 2008

Does Mailman ever take a message that it received in plain text form and re-encode it in base64 (leaving the mime type as text/plain)? This just happened to a message I sent to a private list for which I am the admin, and I'm trying to pin it down between Mailman and Postfix. I composed the message in Thunderbird, and the source of the saved outgoing copy (in the Sent folder) is plain ASCII (not base64-encoded). I am subscribed to the list so I get a copy of whatever is sent, and the copy … [View More]

Mailman 2.1.11 - message appears to drop on the floor

Sept. 12, 2008

Hi, I have a list with a user who is not able to send new messages to the list - replies go out ok, but whenever he sends out a new message, it doesn't reach the list. I have a relay machine which accepts the message and does antivirus checks etc which is my main mailhub on the end of a DSL line. This relays to a Debian machine running Mailman 2.1.11 and Exim4 as the mail receiver. This is using the Exim4 and Mailman howto on the Exim website - that is, using transports and routers in the … [View More]
