Read-only setup options for administration
by Narcis Garcia - GiLUG 21 Dec '11

Hello, Is there an easy way to make some options not customizable by a list administrator? We want, for example, max_message_size and/or other options cannot be changed with the web interface. I suppoose that then "config_list" can be useful to export, edit options manually and import any configuration. Thanks.

Missing archives and deleting archive messages.
by JRC Groups 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

Hello, everyone. I am experiencing two problems with my Mailman lists and wanted to ask if any of you know the solutions. Question 1: Two (2) out of the five lists I created on my Mac OS X server are not displaying their archives. I get as far as the default Mailman subscription page for these two lists but once I click on the link on top of the page that should go to the list's archives I get a blank browser page stating "Safari can't find the server" (I'm on a Mac). On the next line it states the following: Safari can't open the page "http://domain.com/mailman/private/listname/" because Safari can't find the server "domain.com". Just to make this clear, I don't believe it can't find the server since this works for the other three (3) lists I have on the server. Only two seem to be displaying this behavior. Question 2: On a few of the lists I have created I have messages in their archives that were sent just as test messages to ensure the lists were working right. I don't want to have these messages as part of the lists' archives once I have subscribers signing up for the lists. How can I (1) delete the entire archive for a list and (2) delete only specific messages ? Thank you in advance for your help. Joe.

mimdefang and footers
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 15 Dec '11

Hi All, I'm using the mimedefang method to fix the footer "problem" for Outlook users. The attachments are gone, but now every message to our lists gets a footer with the text "MAILMAN_MIMEDEFANG". I'm going to guess I've done something wrong. Up until a few days ago, I'd never used mailman or mimedefang! I followed this very useful post as my guide for the mimedefang part: http://markmail.org/message/vey67jto2ry45f4i#query:+page:1 +mid:vey67jto2ry45f4i+state:results I'm using mailman 2.1.9 and mimedefang 2.70 on CentOS 5. Regards, Ranbir

MailMan Installation On Remote System?
by Carlos Mennens 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

I've got three servers in the office: 1. mail 2. web 3. db My question is can I install MailMan on my web server and have it manage lists for my mail server? They're all on the same physical LAN and subnet so there's no weird networking hopscotch that needs to occur. Anyone know if this is possible?

Hi, I'm setting up a mailman list for the folks over in the anthropology department and they have a list of around email addresses that they wish to initially subscribe. How do I assign a default password to each subscriber so they can get in via the web interface and change preferences, access private archives, etc? Thanks. Rob Tanner UNIX Services Manager Linfield College, McMinnville Oregon ITS will never ask you for your password. Please don’t share yours with anyone!
