FAQ: How To Rename a Mailman List
by b19141＠anl.gov Jan. 5, 2009

Jan. 5, 2009

I need to rename two Mailman 2.1.9 lists. The FAQ 4.70 gives explicit instructions, but it does not mention changing the /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases (location on my Unbutu system) file to reflect the new name and then running the newaliases command. Should this be added to the FAQ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry S.

Alternate Port question
by Patrick Healy Jan. 5, 2009

Jan. 5, 2009

Hi, I'm using Mailman v2.1.5. Originally lists were created using port 8181 as the default port. Later port 80 was freed up and I reset (so I thought) everything to port 80. However, whenever something is went out on the list, it still continues to show port 8181 as the port. Any thoughts on how/where to change this? Thanks! Pat Healy

Hello, I'd like to know if there's a limit on how many members I can have? I have around 2,400 members and when I send an e-mail only few get it. Thank you, Jen

Rejecting on size before content-filters
by Bernie Cosell Jan. 4, 2009

Jan. 4, 2009

Is it possible to change the testing-order so that the list size limit is tested [and generates an appropriate reject] *before* the content filters are processed? [I just ran into one that was nearly double the maximum size but got kicked out because it also ran afoul of one of the content filters, and so what I ended up doing was ignoring the content filter and putting in "message too long...etc" into the 'Reason' on my bounce screen]. tnx! /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell … [View More]

I've just installed Mailman version 2.1.11. In general, it works fine.

Automatic bounce processing; listname-bounces vs. listname-bounces+XXXX
by John Wesley Simpson Hibbs Jan. 4, 2009

Jan. 4, 2009

Our mailing lists had been processing bounces correctly for quite some time. For some reason though, this has stopped functioning properly. Bounces were coming back to list-bounces+XXXX, and are now coming back to list-bounces, without the XXXX. The setting "Should Mailman perform automatic bounce processing?" is set to yes. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. john What I am getting now: ==================================================================== Subject: Uncaught … [View More]bounce notification From: mailman-bounces(a)radiolists.net To: mailman-owner(a)radiolists.net Date: Thu, 01 Jan 2009 05:03:56 -0600 Precedence: bulk X-BeenThere: mailman(a)radiolists.net X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 List-Id: mailman.radiolists.net X-List-Administrivia: yes Sender: mailman-bounces(a)radiolists.net Errors-To: mailman-bounces(a)radiolists.net The attached message was received as a bounce, but either the bounce format was not recognized, or no member addresses could be extracted from it.

rejection messages
by J.A. Terranson Jan. 3, 2009

Jan. 3, 2009

Good Morning, If i reject a posting for exceeding size limits, the reason given will be "no reason given" if I reject using the default interface, and will only state the correct reason (too bog, please trim) if I reject from the "details" interface. This is both unintuitive and wrong: It was held for size, the first notice says it was held for size, and it is rejected for the reason held. Shouldnt the default reason (the reason for being held) be the reject reason? 2.11MM thanks! … [View More]
