scalability + ldap
by Anil Jangity May 30, 2012

How does mailman scale to large lists? What about 200,000 members or more? I know a large part of this has to do with the performance of the email infrastructure. Are there plans to make use of LDAP for storing Lists information (lists+members+lists configuration)? Right now, we have corporate Groups in LDAP, and members in that group (e.g. uniqueMember). When a email is sent to a Group, we have some scripts that will do LDAP lookups and then expand to those specific email addresses and then … [View More]

User Passwords - Mass Subscribe/Mass Change
by Drew Tenenholz May 29, 2012

May 29, 2012

All -- Sorry if this has been answered before, I don't have the time to go through the archives at the moment. Mailman 2.1.9/Red Hat Linux When migrating tens of thousands of users form an ancient Majordomo system to a new Mailman system, can I set the users' passwords when I upload their addresses from a text file? Can I change the automatically created passwords? We have a pretty slick PHP-driven site to manage subscriptions to about 10-15 lists, and I always set the user's password for … [View More]

Web Admin Security Question
by Dennis Putnam May 25, 2012

May 25, 2012

After migrating my OS from Mandriva to CentOS I noticed that SSL mailman web access is no longer used. Is this something that is no longer necessary or do I still have more configuring to do? Do I really need SSL or is the management of web admin out of the box sufficient? Thanks.

Uninstall mailman manually
by Frank Walter May 25, 2012

May 25, 2012

Hello I made some mistake I think. I installed mailman on Ubuntu 12.04 by Aptitude and copied an older version over it because I wanted to keep mailing lists from another server. After this mailman didn't start anymore but in aptitude I couldn't uninstall it neither. Now I hope that I can uninstall it by deleting the two mailman folders and the config in /etc/mailman - is this the right way? I am at a point that I prefer to create new the only needed mailing list (about 30 addresses only and … [View More]

Logging failed Admin logins [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
by Dale, Mark May 21, 2012

May 21, 2012

Hi All, I'm looking for a way to prevent the Mailman Admin login from getting bruted. I was thinking that I can set fail2ban to watch the logfiles and trigger an event after a certain number of failed logins from the same IP address, within a specified time period. I've had a look through the Mailman log files and can't see that Mailman writes anywhere for failed login attempts (to the Admin page). It seems that the best that can be done at the moment is to guess it from the POST entries in … [View More]

by Tomislav Luetić May 21, 2012

May 21, 2012

hi. I've got a 2.1.14 Mailman that I'm setting up for a computer-unsavvy group of people, and would like to remove a good deal of options available in the list admin page, setting a default value. From what I understand, this and similair pages are automatically generated by modules in /Mailman/Cgi, but so far I haven't found where this is generated. I don't mind getting dirty in python, but I would like some understanding of it before I jump in. thx for advice, tl
