Is there a way in mailman to disallow subscribing via the webpage, so that subscriptions can be done by the list administrator? I looked arround in the options of the mailman administrators webpage, but seems I can't find it...

List archives via email
by Tammy George 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

I've searched FAQs, how-to's, etc but couldn't find an anything referencing this - is it possible to request a list's archives to be sent via email? For example, new employee needs copies of all emails that have been sent to a specific list. I thought I had done it before but can't find any info on it. Thanks.

Re: [Mailman-Users] password reminder password is wrong

I added myself to the same list...went to my page sent a password reminder back to myself. It sent the same password [good]. I then used that password to login and manage my account and it worked [good]. Could this be a problem with older mailman vs newer mailman and the way it stores passwords? Bob

question

hopes this didn't sound stupid... I have created a list with mailman 2.1.13 when I try to send an email to that list from an address that don't belong to the list, It needs to be approved first, is there any way to skip that approval? the idea is to be able to send a message to several members without type each address... and as you can see, I'm new at this. Thanks in advance... -- Atte. Alejandro Martínez C. biozarica(a)gmail.com movil: 09-89051806 Arica - Chile

question mailing lists
by publicidad＠redconexion.com.mx 12 Feb '10

hi, i have a question, this is the situation i created a mailing list, and i added about 2000 email directions, including a hotmail address that i have, so i sent an email to the list, with the intention to send the message to the 2000 users, and i dont know if the 2000 users get the message, but the message never got to my hotmail... so the question is, is there a limit of users that mailing lists allow, or whar happened in that situation. and if there is no limit, when does the 2000 users will get my email, at the very instant or 250 per hour or how does the list works

password reminder password is wrong
by Hicks, Robert CTR 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

I have a user that received his password reminder email. He went to login with the password in the email and he got: Error: Authentication failed. I tried the email link and password as well and got the same error. I tried adding " USE_CRYPT = 0 " to my Defaults.py based on a post I found by Barry W. but that didn't work. I have moved this mailman installation to a new server (RHEL 5.4), newer mailman (2.1.12), and probably a newer Python (2.4.3). Any ideas? Bob

I'm aware of this : http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-January/055208.html Should this work from 2.1.9 to 2.1.12 ? Thanks in advance.

Exim "Virtual Domains" and Mailman
by Olivier Parisy 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Hi, I have been using a Debian-based mailman installation for some time now, administering a few lists, all hosted on xxx.tld. Everything worked fine. I recently modified the underlying Exim 4 configuration to support "virtual domains", namely xxx.tld, yyy.tld and zzz.tld. I used a typical setup for this purpose (see http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/140 for an example). On this occasion, I added a generic "*" rule to each domain. As an example, here is the content of a virtual domain file (/etc/exim4/virtual/xxx.tld): webmaster : webmaster@localhost * : postmaster@localhost Once this modification was performed (and tested; things work fine on the Exim side), my xxx.tld - based mailing lists stopped working. More specifically, all messages sent to the lists are delivered to postmaster(a)xxx.tld. Here is the (abridged) header of such a message: Return-path:<olivier.parisy(a)gmail.com> Envelope-to: mylist(a)xxx.tld Received: from smtp21.services.sfr.fr ([93.17.128.2]) by www.xxx.tld with esmtp (Exim 4.69) (envelope-from<olivier.parisy(a)gmail.com>) id 1NcPza-0006w5-Og for mylist(a)xxx.tld; Tue, 02 Feb 2010 22:09:02 +0100 Received: from filter.sfr.fr (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by msfrf2107.sfr.fr (SMTP Server) with ESMTP id D4DD8700009A for<mylist(a)xxx.tld>; Tue, 2 Feb 2010 22:08:56 +0100 (CET) Received: from [127.0.0.1] (160.135.100-84.rev.gaoland.net [84.100.135.160]) by msfrf2107.sfr.fr (SMTP Server) with ESMTP id 9FCF6700008B for<mylist(a)xxx.tld>; Tue, 2 Feb 2010 22:08:56 +0100 (CET) From: Olivier Parisy<olivier.parisy(a)gmail.com> To: mylist(a)xxx.tld Clearly, the "*" rule is taking precedence on mailman delivery, which do not even seem to get the message. The only workaround I found is to add lines such as "mylist : mylist" to the /etc/exim4/virtual/xxx.tld file (one by mailing list). This is inconvenient to say the least. Is there any way to keep an "*" rule without breaking mailan distribution? I understand this is as much an Exim 4 as a mailman question... Regards, Olivier Parisy.
