Mailman User Question

05 Dec '09

Hello, Currently a user of your Mailman software, and have one problem that I cant seem to find an answer to. When we send an email, to some accounts (specifically Hotmail, although there may be others) an un-subscribe link appears below the header and links directly back to Mailman. We would like to remove that as our database is not in-sync with the Mailman list. Can you please provide an answer? Thanks in advance.

Site not responding
by Scott Jones 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

I am at work, and unable to ssh to or access the webmin for my site, running on http://fyrenice.com/mailman/ I am confused why the site doesn't seem to be responding, i.e., it won't reflect back out if I email to <listname>@fyrenice.com with 'help' in the subject or body. Isn't that supposed to trigger the list to reply back with instructions, with help information on a specific site? At work here I am behind a corporate firewall, so I can't navigate and connect via http://fyrenice.com/mailman/admin. Strangely enough though I can connect to the webmin using http://fyrenice.com:<portnumber>/ and I can log in to my router. Could someone help me understand this behavior? Thank You, Scott

HI, Could anyone help with the setup of some sibling lists within mailman. I am having trouble stopping duplicate e-mail to the sibling lists Parent List Sibling Lists Staff Research-staff Lecturing-Staff Tech Staff Research Research-staff Lecturing-Staff Grads visitors Currently when a e-mail is sent to both the parent lists, staff and research, users that are on both Research-Staff and Lecturing-staff receive the e-mail twice. Any help would be much appreciated Regards Damion

Footer not being appended to messages in 2.1.10
by Jay Deiman 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hello all, I've been running mailman 2.1.10 on FreeBSD 6.2 for quite some time now and I just recently noticed that the default footer (msg_footer) is not being appended to all the messages. Is there something else that needs to be set/enabled to turn this on? I've searched for this problem and I've found nothing so I'm kind of assuming that I'm missing a setting somewhere. Thanks, Jay -- Jay Deiman \033:wq!

web interface permissions ?
by Thomas Andrews 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hi, On a newly installed mailman setup, the "Submit All Data" button has no effect in the page "Tend to pending moderator requests". It doesn't matter if I select 'Accept' 'Reject' or 'Discard', the effect is the same - nothing. On other admin pages I can do anything I want - add users, change defaults, etc, etc... I'm wondering if this is a permissions issue? I've checked /var/log/apache/* and /var/log/mailman/* plus the usual syslog files for errors, and I can't see anything obviously wrong. This is pretty much a standard debian install with two lists: one 'mailman' list and another. I'm using mailman with Exim and had to make some small changes as suggested in the docs to get it to work, and the SMTP side of it seems to be perfectly fine - I just can't do things like discarding messages from non-members. dpkg -l mailman gives me this: ii mailman 1:2.1.12-3 Powerful, web-based mailing list manager Running "check_perms" gives me lots of permissions errors, but it was like that before I touched any of the config files, so I'm wondering if anyone else has had to fix this problem to get the mailman deb to work properly. Many thanks, Thomas
