I'm trying to make default 'Require Approval' under Privacy Options. Where do I find a list of config commands so that I can make that default by writing to the mm_cfg.py file. I do know to make changes to mm_cfg.py file, I just need to know the proper syntax to make default for new list an approval requirement when subscribing to list. Thanks in advance.

combining 2 mailman servers into 1 - how to merge aliases & aliases.db
by John Adamski Sept. 11, 2009

Sept. 11, 2009

We have two servers that have mailman on them (SuSE 2.6.27, postfix, mailman 2.1.11) and we are combining the two servers into one. Keeping the newest one. I understand how to get the lists and archives from the server being decommissioned, by tar'ing the mailman/archives & mailman/lists directories and moving them over to the newer server. My question is how do I get the aliases & aliases.db files on the server I'm migrating all lists to, so it reflects all the lists. Is it as … [View More]

Test mesages
by LuKreme Sept. 11, 2009

Sept. 11, 2009

Is there some way to send a test message to a list that is only sent back to me instead of sending it out to the entire distribution? Sometimes I want to examine the logs live when a message comes in, but I don't want to keep spamming all the users with "test, pls. ignore" sorts of subjects. -- The Piper's calling you to join him

Cleaning up 'special' list...
by tanstaafl＠libertytrek.org Sept. 8, 2009

Sept. 8, 2009

Hi, I have a question about the best way to clean up a special list I use with Mailman... The list in question - call it 'valid-senders' - is only used to provide a list of 'valid senders' that are allowed to post to other internal lists we use. It is always set to 'Emergency Moderation' so they never get any mail, except for bounce notifications and such (the other two lists have size limits, etc). The only members of these other lists are our own users (Sales Reps), and they both have '@… [View More]

Settings
by certuspersonality Sept. 8, 2009

Sept. 8, 2009

We are using Mailman as part of Cpanel on the Linux server at which our domain is hosted. We allowed list members to post messages to the board but this has lately been misused to send spam messages around. We have not been successful in altering the settings to adjust for this new situation; maybe you can help us. We now want the members list to be used in the following way only. 1) Only allow the administrator to post messages on the board. 2) Automatically direct all member messages to … [View More]

Membership List Won't Reset to Non-Digest
by Todd Wheeler Sept. 8, 2009

Sept. 8, 2009

New to mailman and testing features for a client. One member address is getting digests yet the setting in the Membership List administrative web page does not have digests or plain checked. I have checked digests/plain on, submitted, then cleared them off and submitted. The member address is still getting digest messages. Where might I look to determine why the settings are not getting set to non-digest? I have access on the server to the root files, but not sure where to start … [View More]
