i18n: admin/mod environment vs. user environment
by Alvaro Uría 03 Jun '09

Hi! Today, I've run across a curious issue with Mailman and its i18n. The story goes like this: 1) We have a list where you can choose between 3 languages: A, B and C 2) The list is configured to use language A as default, and has a max_message_size = 10kB 3) One subscriber uses language B and sends a message bigger than 10kB, so it gets held (and gets a notice translated to language B) 4) Moderator gets a notice in language A (the default of the list, as I said), but the reason is translated into language B (user's default). This reason is also in language B in the Web interface (admindb). Is that how it should work? Shouldn't be all the information (including the reason) for the moderator in the default language of the list (in this case, in language A)? Thank you. Regards, Alvaro.

Displaying Entire Membership List
by Ed Corcoran 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

I have 1869 members on my mailing list. My Membership List only displays 152 of them -- 150 in blocks of 50 (as per my Chunk Size) and a 4th page with only 2. I have added and subtracted members with no problem, and when I send a message it apparently goes to everyone, but I can only see the 152 in the listing. A number of those I added since then I marked NO to both >Send welcome messages to new subscribees? >Send notifications of new subscriptions to the list owner? Does that mean the list didn't even add to itself?? What do I have to do to get all the members to show up on the Membership List?? Ed Corcoran

Email address cannot post to a specific mailing list
by Cory Walker 31 May '09

31 May '09

Hello! I've been having trouble using this email address to post to my projects mailing list, linux4nano-dev(a)gna.org. No matter what I do, my emails never go through. I am subscribed, and I have also tried resubscribing. Obviously, I can use it to post to other lists. I've tried using another email and it works fine. Does anyone know what's wrong? Thanks in advance, Cory

Mailman does not respond to my email.
by Cory Walker 31 May '09

31 May '09

Hello! I've been having trouble with my main email (this is not it). Whenever I try to post a message to a mailman mailing list with it, nothing happens. I can't confirm subscriptions or post. Obviously, this email works fine with any mailman server. With my main email, I've tried multiple clients (evolution, thunderbird). None of them work. This has only happened since a few months ago. I know this problem isn't unique to a certain list, because it happens on this mailing list and all of my other projects. Thanks in advance - Cory

Mailman administraive interface does not store data
by Eggert Ehmke (FTV) 31 May '09

31 May '09

Hello, I already run a Mailman list on my server that works fine. Now I set up a second list on another virtual domain. All looks fine, aliases and virtual-mailman are configured, the apache is configured. I can access the list administration but cannot change the general options. When I enter data in the general options and press Submit, the old options are displayed again. What makes things bad, I don't see any related error messages, also not in apache log files. How to track this down? Chris

$ bin/newlist -l en --urlhost=mailman.covisp.net --emailhost=kreme.com hgt-school(a)kreme.com kreme(a)kreme.com Initial hgt-school password: Create a new, unpopulated mailing list. Usage: bin/newlist [options] [listname [listadmin-addr [admin- password]]] [ bunch of stuff] Illegal list name: hgt-school@akane (akane is the hostname of the local machine. I have existing lists at http://mailman.covisp.net/mailman/admin but none are public) -- No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Hi, okay there is a warning to not manually edit the /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases file. how do I add already existing mail lists that I am migrating from another server to an existing /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases file using the auto-add technique that would be similar to adding a new list from scratch. Cheers, Noah
