How to know what announce was sent?
by alexander＠nautae.eti.br 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hi. I'm looking forward an way to know what lists was used in a specific day. For example, how to know if any message was sent to mylist(a)contact.example.com ? My lists are announces list only. I have to write a software to identify if a announce was sent, and check the Postfix log informations (errors and accepted) with the members list from Mailman, and, of course, generate a report to list members that hasn't received the announce because an error and members that are ok. No problem with Postfix log files, but I don't know how to verify the moment that an announce was sent, how many times in a day, which one, etc. []s Alexander Brazil - Rio de Janeiro ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Help with Mailman configuration
by Keith Blackie 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

I have a mailing list that I need to setup. This mailing list will comprise of several hundred addresses that will be subscribed by using the mass subscription function. I need the following in place: 1) Only admins, moderators and list owner may post to mailing list - all other posts are deleted 2) Sender is anonymous 3) Recipients may reply to the email and it will be sent to the admin and/or moderator and list owner 4) No subscription notification or unsub notification should be sent 5) Unsubscribe recipient immediately if email address fails and notify admin and/or moderator and list owner 6) Users may not subscribe 7) Users may unsubscribe themselves This is on a server for which I have only the administrative access to my mailing lists. I hope I can get this in place and working properly, or at least something close. Thanks, Keith Blackie

Outlook Rich Text Format - Table and Embedded Links - Lost Format
by Wang, Mary Y 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hi, One of my mailing list admins mentioned that when he sent out a Outlook email message with a table format that has embedded links. The table format disappeared and the embedded links don't show up as clickable. Some of mailing list admins like to send out postings with MS specific format and rather than plain text. Any suggestions on how they would be able to retain the MS Outlook format? Please advise. Thanks Mary

My ISP says that multiple recipients on each message is a VERY bad idea and wants to know if there is a way to make mailman send to individual addresses.

by Cristóbal Palmer 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hello all, I have a list admin who tells me that sometimes notifications of pending subscriptions aren't going out to him. I had reason to doubt him, but he has just sent me an example of a pending registration from yesterday by jenny_zhaochin(a)[redacted].com and I had a look in the logs: $ sudo -u mailman ./list_admins midfex List: midfex, Owners: sherwindu(a)[redacted].net $ grep -B 30 -A 30 jenny_zhaochin /var/log/maillog |grep -i sherwin $ grep "jenny_zhaochin.*250 ok" /var/log/maillog Jun 14 21:42:12 [redacted] postfix/smtp[4475]: C069C4C021: to=<jenny_zhaochin(a)[redacted].com>, relay=[redacted], delay=1, status=sent (250 ok dirdel) Any ideas?

using mailman on a server other than the one that DNS is pointing to
by Adam Parker, OD 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Can you use mailman on a server other than the one where the DNS is pointing to? I have a website abc123.com and it's hosted on Host A. Host A does not allow Mailman on cpanel. Host B does. I set up a list called " bot(a)abc123.com" on Host B while also setting up abc123.com as an addon domain. Is there any way to make this work? It doesn't seem to work now even though I have "Remote Mail Exchanger" chosen for the MX value. -- Adam

See man config_list . The command config_list -o filename LISTNAME will make a copy of the LISTNAME config file into a file named filename . You can then modify that file and run /usr/sbin/newlist LISTNAME1 config_list -i filename LISTNAME1 to create a new list and set its configuration parameters from the revised config file. I have around 20 template list config files that I use to create new lists. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry S.

Integrating Mailman on Website
by Farah Kashem 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Hi, I want to make it so that users can subscribe to the mailing list on my website through a simple form that just asks for their email address. (The confirmation email will then give them their password). Is there a way to pass an email entered in a form on another page to Mailman's subscription page? Thanks, Farah
