Monthly notice sender
by Charles Gregory May 8, 2009

May 8, 2009

Hallo! This may be more of a 'feature request' than a problem.... (smile) A few times each month I get an e-mail from someone requesting something as simple as 'please unsubscribe me' sent to 'mailman-owner' rather than to the owner of the list to which they are subscribed. It's fairly obvious that they are finding the 'monthly reminder' e-mail and just hitting 'reply' in their mail client. I understand how/why one mailing covers all possible lists/subscriptions, but I have to wonder if … [View More]

mailman + apache2
by Wolfgang Bock May 7, 2009

May 7, 2009

hello, I am getting confused with configurating mailman + apache2 with virtual-domains. With the command "newlist mailman(a)domain.de" the list "mailman" will be build and I am getting a mail to listmaster(a)domain.de confirming the new established list. Calling the mentoned link in this mail: http://domain.de/mailman/admin/mailman the result is "The requested URL /mailman/admin/mailman was not found on this server." My second problem is: if I am creating another new list, the web-form … [View More]

Non-ASCII signs in welcome text
by Hendrik Maryns May 7, 2009

May 7, 2009

Dear all, I just started a new mailing list with Mailman. The welcome_msg is in German and contains üäö. Then I subscribed myself to the list and got the following: Hallöchen, Beiträge erwünscht, aber übertreibt es nicht, ne. Furthermore, if I know log into the admin area, it gives the same text, that is, with all non-ASCII replaced by entities! Another bug to file?!

There has been some discussion (that I will not quote) about various linux Mailman packages. I built a 2.1.12 package for Ubuntu based on the SourceForge source and the Debian/Ubuntu 2.1.9 package. At that time there were too many Debian patches that were undocumented. Last week I decided to look at the Ubuntu 2.1.12 package for the "jaunty" release, and I found fewer patches. The patch log file mentioned that all of the patches had been reviewed by Mark Sapiro, so I assume that the … [View More]

Digests more than once a day ... What determines it?
by Edward Ned Harvey May 6, 2009

May 6, 2009

I¹m aware ³If you turn digest mode on, you'll get posts bundled together (usually one per day but possibly more on busy lists)² But one of my users (the CEO) just asked me and forwarded messages - he got a separate digest for each email that went to a list, at 11:33am, 11:38am, and 11:45am today. This seems excessive, so I¹d like to know ... Under what circumstances will a digest be created more than daily? Is it configurable?

Robots Tag
by John Webb May 6, 2009

May 6, 2009

I am still confused about the source of the Meta Tag META NAME=robots" CONTENT="noindex,follow" . Our archive indexes have the "noindex,follow" tag, but the pages for each message have "index, nofollow". We want our archives to be available for unrestricted spidering and indexing throughout all of the pages. What do we need to do to enable the correct tag in our html? What exactly does the follow or nofollow part of it do? On a different topic.... I see several threads and methods … [View More]

alternative to setgid
by Renee May 5, 2009

May 5, 2009

I've set up a new mailman installation on a new Solaris 10 server. I am attempting to share out the mailman directory via NFS to another Solaris 10 server running apache for web maintenance purposes. Theoretically, this should work, but I'm getting the dreaded "setuid execution not allowed" error on my web server when I try to go to /mailman/listinfo or /mailman/admin. I have determined that mailman is being NFS mounted on the web server with the nosuid option and I can't for the life of me … [View More]

Issue with bounce processing after upgrade to Fedora 10
by Derek Atkins May 5, 2009

May 5, 2009

Hi I recently migrated some mailing lists from a Fedora 7 system to a new system running Fedora 10. Ever since the migration I've received a ton of bounce messages into my personal email due to bounced mailing-list reminder messages. The bounce messages look pretty normal to me (an example is available at <http://www.ihtfp.org/mailman-bounce.txt>) so I don't understand why it's winding up in my personal inbox. The sendmail log looks okay, up until it sends the message to me. Notice … [View More]that the message does get into the 'mailman bounces mailman' input queue, but I don't see anything at that time in the mailman bounces log file. Is this a misconfigured mailman? Misconfigured sendmail? A bug? I searched the FAQ but didn't see anything like this.
