Unable to receive Zimbra-generated mail forwarded by Mailman
by Pete Smith April 5, 2009

April 5, 2009

I suspect that this might not be the right list for this question, but I have an odd problem that seems to be Mailman related. In a nutshell, the body of an e-mail sent by a Zimbra Webclient through a Mailman list server is unreadable with Eudora 7.1. The same e-mail, sent by the same sender from the same client, when sent directly to me (not via Mailman), comes through fine). This happens on at least two different Mailman installations, one at contesting.com, the other at mailman.qth.… [View More]

New to the List Serve - responding to posts issue
by Robert McGuire April 5, 2009

April 5, 2009

I just setup a list serve for my community's board of directors. I have all of the permissions set correctly and only the board are members. Everyone in community are non-members where their posts are held for approval. My issues is: When someone on the list responds to a post, their response comes from their personal email address. If the request originator does not "reply to all", then the list serve is cut out of the loop. My question is: For … [View More]

Does this help? yes, the symlink is there, but nevertheless when mailman starts, python tries to compile the file to /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman because this is where the entire package is > > If the … [View More]

Mailman password reminders
by Chris Nulk April 4, 2009

April 4, 2009

Hello all, I know I can stop password reminders from going out to list members by turning off the reminders in the list configuration. I also know I can comment out the cron entry for mailpasswd to stop it for all lists. In addition, I know I can send reminders using mailpasswd to a specific list(s). But, can I exclude sending reminders to specifics lists with mailpasswd. What I would like to do is send the normal monthly reminders to most of our lists. There is a small group of lists … [View More]

Moderator and Admin emails not being sent...
by Todd Giles April 4, 2009

April 4, 2009

I've been debugging this for some time now, multiple google searches, etc... all to no avail. I have a mailman list setup and working fine, with the exception of moderator and admin emails not being sent (at least not received). I've narrowed down to one fairly simple test case, that is to leave an unmoderated email in the list, and then to run the following command on my server: % /usr/local/bin/python -S checkdbs After running this command, my expectation is to get an email sent out … [View More]

Testing, checking
by Jones, Scott (GE Money, consultant) April 4, 2009

April 4, 2009

Is there a checklist of things to look over, once Mailman is installed, to make sure the site becomes visible to the internet? My site, http://fyrenice.com/mailman works when I am at home on my LAN, but I can't access it when not at home, i.e., it's not yet working correctly. I have these ports opened: 22, 25, 80, 110, 443 via my router. What other ports should I consider? Please advise! Scott

Password reminder on private archive login page
by Cihan Yildirim-Yucel April 4, 2009

April 4, 2009

Hi; Can I put the password reminder on private archive login page? So that, list members who want to see the archive, but do not remember their passwords, can quickly learn their passwords. Otherwise, password reminder is too hard to find using the links on general list info page.. Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks in advance. ____________________ Cihan YILDIRIM-YUCEL

To-Do-list admin
by Helmut Schneider April 3, 2009

April 3, 2009

Hi, I set up a new mailman instance (2.1.11). I remeber that when I created new lists a mail was sent to the admin describing what he needs to add to /etc/aliases to make the new list work. Currently I do not recieve that email at the new installation. Did I forget to check a box? Thanks, Helmut

Can't change host name preference
by Mike Flaherty April 3, 2009

April 3, 2009

Hello, I am trying to set up Mailman on a new domain. I have done it in the past without issue, but now I have a really bizzare problem. When I go to the "MYLIST mailing list administration General Options Section" page, I notice the following entry preloaded in the "Host name this list prefers for email" field... syd.xobas.net I have NO IDEA where this is coming from. It is not my domain, so I replace it with my own. However, when I click the "… [View More]
