Test messages
by LuKreme July 29, 2010

July 29, 2010

I may have asked this before, but if so I can't find it in my archives. Is there a way to send a test message to a list without it being sent out to the entire list? Something like a ping that only replies to you? I have a list I host for a friend that is very sporadic. When active it can get 100 posts a day, but those days come infrequently. Sometimes he's concerned that posts are getting lost (it's happened in the past that some configuration muckup has borked the list) and he'd like to be … [View More]

by Syn, Joonho July 27, 2010

July 27, 2010

Hi, found the Namazu FAQ here http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030581 Was wondering if there are any updates to FAQ as it seemed to leave a couple issues unresolved, specifically regarding automatic indexing using a cron job and also hacking in a search box. Have Namazu and mailman been integrated a bit better by now?

upgrading from version 2.1.9 to latest available version
by Chad Rebuck July 23, 2010

July 23, 2010

I realized today that the unsubscribe via web page feature of version 2.1.9 is not working for my list. Maybe it is a known bug or something that just doesn't work for my site due to previous upgrades. The list is very low volume so upgrading it has not been a priority. I would like to understand how much effort is involved in upgrading from version 2.1.9 to the latest available. I am running fedora 5 if that matters. Thank you. Chad

Is Mailman right for us?
by Alison Epstein July 22, 2010

July 22, 2010

I need something for our discussion lists. (We also have announce-only lists.) The discussion lists ideally would have an archive that is accessible. Also, some of our lists need to have the ability to have multiple "moderators / posters" who may or may not be list subscribers.… [View More]
