Microsoft Outlook and footer/signature "attachments"
by Christopher C. Wright Sept. 14, 2009

Sept. 14, 2009

I've done some reading through this and other mailing lists, but I can't find anything relating to this topic past 2004; if there is something more current, please forgive me. In short, any time someone sends a non purely-text/plain email through our Mailman lists, Outlook decides the footer (detailing the list name and the like) is an attachment, and so presents it as such to the user. I understand this is purely an Outlook problem (several other mail clients in use do not display this … [View More]

password required for public archives?
by David Newman Sept. 13, 2009

Sept. 13, 2009

I'm sure this is a standard problem, but I haven't found the answer in any of the FAQs or by searching the mailing list archives. A customer asked that we change archives of an existing list from private to public. That's done, but Mailman still requests a password, even from a new browser with no cookies installed. Apache uses the FollowSymLinks option for public lists, and I have restarted both Apache and Mailman. Here's the Mailman config for apache: # mailman stuff ScriptAlias /mailman/ … [View More]

by John Lieber Sept. 12, 2009

Sept. 12, 2009

My drive failed after creating a new list, I would like to recover the list members from the server. I have the original file that I imported from however I did a lot of cleanup after the import and before the drive failed. My hope is that after putting the drive into a second computer, and if I can see the data, is there a way to extract the mailing list members? Thanks in advance, Johnathen

Authenticating a post to a distribution list
by Lindsay Haisley Sept. 12, 2009

Sept. 12, 2009

I've been to several sources of documentation on Mailman and can't find anything definitive on this, except for a bunch of list postings, so perhaps someone could point me to a doc on the current state of this feature, or answer the question. I understand that a poster to a moderated distribution list can get a post distributed by putting "Approved: passwd" as the first line of the post, yes? I've also seen some discussion of putting this in the subject line in square brackets. Is this … [View More]

qrunner question
by Lindsay Haisley Sept. 12, 2009

Sept. 12, 2009

I'm trying to test a list to which fairly long HTML-ized (ugh!) posts will be posted by a customer. For testing, I have only a couple of addresses (mine) on the subscriber list, but when I post, qrunner takes like half an hour to push the posts through so I can see what's going on. Is there any way a) see what posts are in the qrunner queue and b) force qrunner to process the queue immediately? Will the "qrunner -r All" accomplish this? -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works if you … [View More]

Problem with our mailing list
by Joe Finocchiaro Sept. 11, 2009

Sept. 11, 2009

Hi, We have been using your program for a while and every year when we set up a new list we seem to have this same problem can you help me fix it. The problem: How do we prevent people other than the administrator from posting to the list? We created a new list today and everyone keeps posting to it... We don¹t want that option. We use this list as a one way communication piece. Please avise. Thanks Joe

Garbled digest messages
by Rick Morrison Sept. 11, 2009

Sept. 11, 2009

I help run a private Mailman mailing list for a group that is occasionally seeing garbled messages in their plain-text digests. The garbled messages are completely unreadable, with every character of the original message being lost. The garbled messages seem to appear only when: - The original post is a multipart message - The "text/plain" part of the message uses a "utf-8" character set - The "text/plain" part of the message is set to "quoted-printable" encoding - and the "text/plain" part … [View More]
