Hi, I'm currently running Mailman 2.1.9 on a server with a very old OS. What is the best way to move/migrate Mailman 2.1.9 to a newer server with a newer OS? Could I just copy files over? Or do I need to reinstall/reconfigure again for the new server? Please advise. Mary

HI, I am our list admin, moderator and a list member. However, I do not get the emails that are sent to the list. I did at one time, sporadically, but no longer. There are not any in my spam folder. What could be happening? Messages are definitely being sent. Thanks

How do you use mailman mailing list archives?
by Terri Oda May 28, 2010

May 28, 2010

Hi all! We've got 3 students working on improved archives for Mailman as part of Google Summer of Code this year, and before they start writing code we'd like to gather some data on how people really use the archives. If you have a minute, it'd help us a whole lot if you could fill out this survey to tell us how you use the existing archives and how you'd like to use them: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dF9XcGRsYUpsOUtxYjBWRUdnVXN… I know I'm always inundated with … [View More]

May 28, 2010

While not strictly a mailman question, I'm having a problem with delivering mail to a few list members because their mail server sees our mail man messages as having too many hops. my mailman server is behind a Anti-Spam Anti-Virus Gateway Email Server using Postfix, Amavisd-new, SpamAssassin, Razor, DCC, Pyzor and ClamAV similar to one describe here http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/ or here http://www.freespamfilter.org/about.html and it works great, except that this gateway and … [View More]

Mailman CAS Authentication
by Nathan A Trapp May 28, 2010

May 28, 2010

After much research, I am rather stumped at how to modify the mailman authentication system. I was wondering if anyone could point me towards the right Python files to edit in order to implement an alternate authentication scheme (such as CAS) for mailman administrative login. I know I've seen the University of Washington page do this (see here http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/mailman/admin/aaivmail), but I have not had any such luck. Thanks for any advice I can gain.

How to enforce Author line?
by Robert Khachikyan May 27, 2010

May 27, 2010

Dear Guru's, On some of the lists, I want to configure such that the very first line of the body contains the "Author: <name here>" line. (This is for legacy purposes). And if the Author line is not given, then messages are bounced to moderator and/or the sender. I tried putting ^Author: and other reg exps in the "topics" section, but none worked. Any ideas? Thanks, --Robert
