How to create an "open" mailing list for new posts...
by Robert Nickel March 17, 2009

March 17, 2009

I apologize if I'm missing and FAQ on this one. I'm trying to set a list to accept all new posts without any further actions. Subscribers will add themselves to the list as usual but others will only occasionally post to the list and I don't want to have to moderate all of the posts from non-member addresses. Thanks, --Robert

weird archive "thread" view
by IEM - network operating center (IOhannes m zmoelnig) March 17, 2009

March 17, 2009

hi. a user of one of my mailinglists noted that the thread-view of my mailing-list archives has become weird in the last months: basically new threads are sometimes subthreads of unrelated threads. while there is always the chance, that users will just hijack a thread, i am pretty sure that this did not happen in various other cases (i looked at the headers of the mails coming in through the list, and they did not refer to any other mails) an example thread-page would be: http://lists.… [View More]

mmarch mbox-splitting weird...

March 17, 2009

hi. i recently upgraded my mailing list server from debian etch to lenny, which included an upgrade from mailman 2.1.9 to 2.1.11; due to some local hackery this somewhat broke my mailing list archives (the hackery only makes monthly archives available as e.g. 2009-03 rather than 2009-March or 2009-Maerz or whatever). i fixed my hacks, but in order to get the archives right i ran "mmarch --wipe ...", and found myself suprised that this did not produce the desired results: the new archives … [View More]

Setting up mailman on ubuntu 8.10 / desktop and server
by Jones, Scott (GE Money, consultant) March 17, 2009

March 17, 2009

I recently attempted to set up Mailman on my ubuntu machine. I have been running several lists on an older machine running etch, which has worked fine, but when attempting the install on 8.10 desktop, I kept running into errors and roadblocks. Is it just me or are there issues and workarounds required for 8.10 installation and operation? Scott

Can't show received mail on Mailman Archives
by Daniel.Li March 17, 2009

March 17, 2009

Dear List, Now I have change my OS to ubuntu 8.04.2, originally Fedora 5. I have met a problem. I did install the mailman "successfully". Now, I can subscribe the maillist, mailman mailed me passcode, confirm mails. And I can send e-mail to maillist address. It seems OK, but I found that I never receive the mail from mailman and can't find mails I have sent before, which is too say that mailman archives is empty. I checked my mail log, I found my server did received my mail. But I didn't … [View More]

Feature request
by Michael Welch March 17, 2009

March 17, 2009

I would love to see some way of putting someone on moderation when I add or invite them via Mass Subscriptions (which for me is normally one at a time anyway). Elsewise, I have to stay on top of their subscription notification and get to the Membership List page before they have a chance to post. - - - - - - - - - - - - Michael Welch, volunteer Redwood Alliance PO Box 293 Arcata, CA 95518 707-822-7884 mwelch(a)redwoodalliance.org www.redwoodalliance.org

Mailman 2.1.12 - Python 2.4.[456] incompatibility
by Mark Sapiro March 16, 2009

March 16, 2009

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There is an internal inconsistency in the 3.0.2 email package that shipped with Python 2.4.4 through 2.4.6. This has to do with the Charset.Charset() constructor setting input_charset to a unicode which then causes TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported exceptions in other parts of the email package. This problem does not seem to occur with email 3.0.1 and Python 2.4.[123]. This (along with other stuff) is discussed in the bug report at <… [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Poster not Receiving Postings

--> > That's a known problem with gmail. --> --> Some of us appreciate the feature of non-duplication based on Message-Id. And many of us do not. At the very least, it should be a gmail behavior that is configurable by each user account. Not a "mother knows what's best" global behavior. Beau

How-to suppress replies to mail sent to list-subscribe@...
by Robert Nickel March 16, 2009

March 16, 2009

I've got a mailman server running that I want to allow self-service for subscription requests but don't need to let them know that I received the email to act on. My users simply consider such mail to be noise. I would like the work flow to be: 1) User sends email to list-subscribe address. 2) Normal admin mail is sent to list owner/moderator 3) User subscription is validated 4) User starts receiving list email The way that it's currently happening is that in between 1 and 2, they get an … [View More]
