Hi I have multiple administrator and I want to set the option under "Privacy Options" What steps are required for subscription? "Require Approval" to the default when the list is created. Does anyone know how to change this properly in the code for it to work? I've been trying to change it in Privacy.py with no success.

I have an administrator requesting a list of everyone who has sent an email to their list. Is there any way to quickly obtain that information? This is a public list that lots of non-members send to. Thanks -Troy

DEFAULT_GENERIC_NONMEMBER_ACTION not working
by Roger D. Leonard 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hi, I recently set up a mailman server for internal use and as list owner I am getting confirmation emails for every posting even though I set DEFAULT_GENERIC_NONMEMBER_ACTION = 0 in all the lists and restarted mailman. I'm missing something here. How do I get it to accept all emails from non-members without list owner intervention? Thanks

Apache/Browser/Cookie-Problem?
by Tobias Koopmann 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hello there, i'm relativ new to Mailman. Now I've got following Software working Apache + Mailman 2.1.13 + Postfix on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Apache-configuration: # Sample configuration for Debian mailman with Apache # We can find mailman here: #ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/mailman/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/ # And the public archives: Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ # Logos: Alias /images/mailman/ /usr/share/images/mailman/ # Use this if you don't want the "cgi-bin" component in your URL: # In case you want to access mailman through a shorter URL you should enable # this: ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/ # In this case you need to set the DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN in # /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py to http://%s/mailman/ for the cookie # authentication code to work. Note that you need to change the base # URL for all the already-created lists as well. <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script .cgi Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> <Directory /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/> Options Indexes FollowSymlinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> <Directory /usr/share/images/mailman/> AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Now my Problem is the following: After a user subscribes to a mailinglist and opens the confirmation link and clicks the confirmation button hes got redirected to an "Enter confirmation cookie"-Page. But after entering the confirmation cookie nothing happens, the same page is shown again. Other ActionButtons also don't work. By the way I redirect all Requests on Port 80 to 443. So all actions happens over https. I hope that's no problem... Greetz. Tobias

Search tool for Mailman Archives
by Liste Yoneticisi 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hello; I am trying to implement a search tool for Mailman Archives. In our system, there are more than 400 lists, and the size of their archives vary, since there are more than 10 years old lists addition to new lists. There are several alternatives. htdig, xapian etc. Which one do you recommend? Is there a practical tool which I can just install and implement, or is there an additional patch need? Thank you very much. Evrim AKMAN

Posting plain text only will work, but if this is a discussion list, you can't control what others post. You may need to remove all HTML rather than converting it by putting something like multipart text/plain in pass_mime_types (i.e., no text/html), and setting an appropriate filter_action to handle HTML only posts. Or you can try the mimedefang method referenced in the above FAQ. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

Footer shows up as attachment
by Schwartz, Robert - IS 08 Dec '10

I'm adding a footer to every email to allow user to unsubscribe. It is showing up as an attachment. I've set Should Mailman convert text/html parts to plain text? This conversion happens after MIME attachments have been stripped. To yes. But this is not working. When I post to this website my message is sent back with a footer to unsubscribe which is exactly what I want. Robert
