Genaliases Command Help
by Carlos Williams Oct. 21, 2009

Oct. 21, 2009

I do so as instructed and get the following response: [root@mail bin]# ./genaliases [root@mail bin]# As you can see I am issued no errors or anything to that nature however nothing ever generates an aliases file unless it's somewhere I can't find. What am I doing wrong? I don't think this matters but the permissions are listed below: drwxrwsr-x 13 root … [View More]

Apache Configuration for Mailman
by Carlos Williams Oct. 21, 2009

Oct. 21, 2009

I am trying to install / configure MailMan on my mail server which is running Postfix 2.6 & Apache 2 on CentOS 5 x64. I am following the guide on the MailMan page labeled "5 Set up your web server". I am confused here because it advises me to do the following: ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/ When I add that line into my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, I get this error when I restart Apache: [root@mail conf]# service httpd restart Stopping httpd: … [View More]

Archive is not showing messages
by Adam Nichols Oct. 21, 2009

Oct. 21, 2009

When I go to the archive page, I get the "No messages have been posted to this list yet, so the archives are currently empty. You can get more information about this list." This is a newly created list. I have the archive option set to yes. I can see the emails in "/var/lib/mailman/lists/<groupname>/digest.mbox". I have also set the option to archive daily, and have the cron job: 27 3 * * * mailman /usr/lib/mailman/cron/nightly_gzip. Where else do I need to look to check on the … [View More]

Oct. 21, 2009

Hi all, I am having trouble getting my mailman instance to run. It was working for sometime, but I had to move some files around and add a new disk to the system, and now it refuses to start.

When messages are archived in mailman, they are losing their original format. Tables appear as text and are not readable. I would like to retain the original format as is. Please suggest. Regards, Krishna

expost user list as csv
by Svante Tidholm Oct. 21, 2009

Oct. 21, 2009

Hi all, I've been using a shell script to compile a list of all subscribers on a list for our intranet at a site I'm taking care of. This is done with the mailman-subscribers.py script and some smart commands that parse the csv file in different ways. I run this as a cron script hourly on the server so that the subscriber list is updated. Then suddenly I realized this is weird way to do it, it must be smarter to use the list_member command in bin/, but I can't get a nicely … [View More]
