File/directory permissions in Mailman
by Jeff Bernier March 19, 2009

March 19, 2009

When I run the check_perms command, I get the following result: Warning: Private archive directory is other-executable (o+x). This could allow other users on your system to read private archives. If you're on a shared multiuser system, you should consult the installation manual on how to fix this. I correct this, but If I come back and run the command again, say, after restarting the Mailman server, the warning reappears. In addition to this, as new messages are … [View More]

How to change the text at the bottom of sent mails
by Hendrik Maryns March 19, 2009

March 19, 2009

Hi all, I searched the net, but didn’t find an answer to this question. Btw, the FAQ seems to be messed up. My question is the following: under the mails I get from my list, I see the following text: Mitarbeiter mailing list Mitarbeiter(a)weltladen-tuebingen.de http://mailman.biohostnet.de/mailman/listinfo/mitarbeiter The links are fine, but the first line bothers me: nowhere in the admin area did I find a place to change this, and in German, it is just plain wrong. Did I overlook … [View More]

Moving mailman to a new server.
by Harold Pritchett March 19, 2009

March 19, 2009

I have read everything I can find about moving mailman lists to a new server. It all seems so simple... My case SHOULD be even simpler. I'm moving from a Fedora 8 linux server to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, both are the 64 bit versions. Fedora system is an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+. The RHEL system is an Intel(R) Xeon(R) QUAD CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz After this, it gets pretty similar. Both installs are the standard RPM installs. In both cases, mailman directory is /usr/… [View More]

Self-Approval against From Forgeries
by Ephraim Silverberg March 19, 2009

March 19, 2009

[ Apologies if this has been discussed before -- I couldn't find any mention ] [ of it in the FAQ. ] Certain lists of ours are sensitive and, hence, the members of the list want to ensure that messages are not sent to the list by an outsider that forges the From line of a valid list member. In our previous listserver, there was a "self-approval" mechanism for such lists -- i.e. when a message arrive purportedly from list member X, the … [View More]

Searchable Archive
by RCB I.T. Solutions Webmaster March 18, 2009

March 18, 2009

What would be the best way to create a searchable archive of all messages on my server? Is there a script that works with mailman that does this that you could recommend? My users will need to search the archive occasionally and view the mail contents and download any attached files that mailman lets though.

Mailman Support for Attachments?
by RCB I.T. Solutions Webmaster March 18, 2009

March 18, 2009

We are looking into using Mailman to manage out mailing list but one key necessity is the mailing list must support attachments, and we should be able to restrict attachments so only certain types of files can be sent though the mailing list. Is Mailman capable of this?

Incoming mail No
by Tim Ferguson March 18, 2009

March 18, 2009

I've been tied up with other things and not been able to work on it, but I still can't use Mailman to send out posts because inbound traffic doesn't make it back to mailman. Thus, users register but their verification doesn't get "verified", etc. When I attempt to send a post to mailman, my GroupWise (8) GWIA sends me an e-mail that completion of the e-mail has been delayed because the server (Linux) is down, which it isn't. This message repeats about every fifteen minutes or so. Since … [View More]
