25,000 unsubscribes in 4 hrs
by Dan Sherbondy July 8, 2010

Over a month ago I used mailman for a 100,000 mailing. Yesterday, in a 4 hour span, I received 25,000 unsubscribe notifications such as "lupetherealtor(a)yahoo.com has been removed from TopCARealtors" I normally received 100 unsubscribes per mailing so I think something is wrong and dont want to remove these people from my list unless they really unsubscribed. Is the unsubscribe notice used for bad addresses as well as unsubscribes? Any other thoughts? Thanks, Dan(a)danshow.com

Custom mailman webpages
by Varoun P July 8, 2010

July 8, 2010

Greetings, I'm customizing all user facing webpages on a new mailman site. I've copied over templates (listinfo.html, subscribe.html, options.html...) from $prefix/templates/en/ to $prefix/lists/<list-name>/en/ and have edited them to get the required effect. The one page thats giving me trouble is the "Confirm subscription request" page that users visit to confirm their subscription once they receive the verify email. Searching the archives leads me to believe that the way to customize … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Users] Is there a way to change the template files
by lists＠viplist.us July 8, 2010

July 8, 2010

It looks like each file that calls a txt file would have to be changed, or is there somewhere that I can globally change the Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" to iso-8859-1? I know I would then have to change all text files that are emailed (after figuring out which ones are emailed and which ones are simply includes.) I tried changing the selection in Defaults.py for English to iso-8859-1, but that did not do it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Sapiro <mark(a)… [View More]

newlist command does not have the -o option
by Syn, Joonho July 8, 2010

July 8, 2010

I'm running version 2.1.9 installed via rpm on rhel5 and noticed that my newlist command does not have the -o or --ouput=[filename] option. I've seen this command used many times by people on the mailing list. Anyone know where it went and how I can get a newlist script with the -o option?

Is there a way to change the template files
by Lists July 7, 2010

July 7, 2010

So instead of the ones being text to make them html? I have a client asking and I cannot find a way to do that. Ideas? Example, the verify.txt, subscribeack.txt, etc. into verify.html and subscribeack.html. They are processed them as and that is not what I want.

many shunted messages
by geraud.guibert＠free.fr July 7, 2010

July 7, 2010

hello everyone, got many shunted messages in the mailman qfiles with most of them that indicate 'listname': 'list1' OR 'list2' ... 'listN', 'tolist': 1, 'whichq' /.../qfiles/archive as far as i understand it, doesn't this means that the corresponding mails are in error due to archiving process/mailqueue ?! on the other way, all the impacted lists are not eligible to archive (desactived) :-( isn't there any trouble in my situation ? or i must certainly have missed something ;-) sincerelly yours

Hello, I have a problem with a user of a list that I create. She receive all the list emails but she can't send emails. She recive this error response: Remote host said: 554 <chile-datos(a)mail.degu.cl>: Relay access denied I think that is strange because other users have no problems sending emails to the list. -- Regards, Daniel H.
