How to export users with ALL flags and infos and import to new server?
by Snaky Love June 28, 2011

June 28, 2011

Hi, I just realized that there does not seem to be a way to export / import users with ALL user flags and user info... I know list_members, but this does not seem to help with all flags, also I found some adwark script that scrapes the mailman admin web interface (?) - however it does not store language settings for all users... also it just exports to an excel file for reporting, but there does not seem to be a way to import the users back into a fresh mailman install... ??? Certainly I am … [View More]

Three letter codes in configfile
by Pete Bell June 26, 2011

June 26, 2011

Hi. I run a Mailman list and when I look at the list's "config.pck.xxxx.dump" file, I see three letter codes alongside each member's name in the "user_options" section. Such codes as 264, 268, 280 and so on. Any chance of finding a full list of what they mean please? Similarly, in the "members" section and the "digest members" section, they all have a "0" alongside the addresses. What does this signify? I can tell that the code next to addresses in the "hold_and_cmd_autoresponses" … [View More]

How to increase the frequency of moderation request notifications
by hnk June 22, 2011

June 22, 2011

Greetings, new list member here, just finished with a complete read of the FAQ and a search of the archives, so please forgive my human failings if I missed this. Currently I manage a list of about 300 members, using Mailman 2.1.11, that is on "emergency hold" due to a spam attack, and I would like to leave it that way for the summer as the effort it relates to is seasonal and the percentage of appropriate posts drops off at this time of year. Unfortunately, one moderation alert every … [View More]

I have a server named delta.x.x.x running Mailman. One of my lists is sending moderator requests out with a bad link in it. The link reads : At your convenience, visit: http://delta/mailman/admindb/tt to approve or deny the request.
