setup options
by Carl Cappelen Aug. 23, 2011

Aug. 23, 2011

First time using Mailman (ver. 2.1.14) as administrator. Trying to set up all options, what I am looking for, if possible is: When a subscriber receives a message, would like his reply to go back to the list sever and also to show (e-mail) address of the sender. This way most reply's go back to the list server, however if recipient wants to, he send a message to the directly originator of the message. TIA Carl,

Missing pending requests in mailman database i.e no pending requests
by kibirango moses Aug. 22, 2011

Aug. 22, 2011

Hullo Users; The administrator/moderator of the list gets a message saying that there is a post pending approval. However, when he logs in and clicks "Tend to pending moderator requests" there is nothing there. Basically we keep getting "pending" notices but the queue is empty. It had been working and no settings were changed. When a message is sent to a mailing list there are no pending requests but if sent to a list and some members of the list have the moderation bit set as off they receive … [View More]

Creating a list for announcements only
by Atkins, Brian CTR Aug. 22, 2011

Aug. 22, 2011

I'm trying to create a list so that 1 member and a select group of non-members can send out announcements with the replies coming back to the poster and limit the amount of email that the moderator/poster receives. I also want to have the ability to have members send to the list but messages go to a specific person rather than the list. I should note that the primary poster is also a moderator, so he receives 2 e-mails for every reply, one for the actual reply and another from mailman telling … [View More]

hi there, I run check_perms with the -f switch and the program runs the program claims it found 100 problems and asks to run the program again. Next time I run it 100 problems are still found. So I did some research to figure out what the problems are. $ sudo ./check_perms -f /var/lib/mailman/cron bad group (has: root, expected list) (fixing) /var/lib/mailman/Mailman bad group (has: root, expected list) (fixing) /var/lib/mailman/mail bad group (has: root, expected list) (fixing) /var/lib/… [View More]

Completely read-only list
by David Lubkin Aug. 21, 2011

Aug. 21, 2011

I've moved and renamed a set of lists. Not everyone reads their email, though, so occasionally people try to post to the old names off the old domain name. For now, I want to retain the old lists as is, in case I need to back out of the move. I've set up autorespond text to tell posters that a list has moved, but their postings still go through to the old list that way. If I set everyone's moderation bit (or enable the emergency moderation flag), I still have to manually reject or discard … [View More]

Subscribers accessing private list archives
by Prietz, Ian Aug. 20, 2011

Aug. 20, 2011

Hi, I help manage a series of mailing lists. It is currently configured for me to manually subscribe users. We do not offer the subscribers the opportunity to manage their own subscription...they are required to be a part of this list. We do not have passwords setup for subscribers, so they do not have to do the periodic password updates. I also have the lists setup to privately archive. I am looking for a way to give subscribers a generic password that would authenticate them to be able to … [View More]

Outgoing mail flow problem
by Jack Barnes Aug. 19, 2011

Aug. 19, 2011

I have setup mailman as our school districts list server. For email, we use Google and our domain is ccsuvt.org. The listserv is a subdomain named lists.ccsuvt.org. The problem that we are experiencing is that outgoing email is going to Google that returns a message that there is no user with that name. At the same time, if I am a member of the list, I can send a posting to the list and all of the recipients receive it if they have an account with Google no matter what the domain (xxxxx(a)… [View More]
