-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am happy to announce the final release of Mailman 2.1.15. This release is identical to the 2.1.15rc1 release except for the version number and the inclusion of a missing part of the HTML installation manual.

I can't turn off password reminders for my users
by sweepslate June 14, 2012

June 14, 2012

I created a list and then turned off reminders in the admin UI. Here are the relative options: umbrella_list no send_reminders off After that I've subscribed 3 mail addresses that belong to me, as a test. Checking the web preferances for each newly registered user I see that they have the reminder option turn on: "Get password reminder email for this list?". My question is, how can I turn off password reminders for all new users arriving on the list?

Strange characters in subscriber addresses
by Nick Donaldson June 14, 2012

June 14, 2012

Good afternoon folks. I manage a whole bunch of lists. I need to remove some subscribers from some lists but, there is a problem. When I user dumpdb to see the subscribers, some addresses have a "\r" (backslash "r") at the end. The web interface cannot remove them. Neither can the remove_members command. Does anyone know of a way to remove subscribers with backslash "r" at the end of the address? Nick Donaldson Help & Solutions Centre Consultant IST Help & Solutions Centre Client … [View More]

Wiping all mailman data
by Brian T June 14, 2012

June 14, 2012

Hi, I made some modifications to the Switchboard.py class. I think I probably broke something that caused some nonsense data to be saved, because now when I restart mailman (with /etc/init.d/mailman restart), I get the following in my error log file: Jun 13 22:15:29 2012 qrunner(3325): Traceback (most recent call last): 2 Jun 13 22:15:29 2012 qrunner(3325): File "/var/lib/mailman/bin/qrunner", line 278, in <module> 3 Jun 13 22:15:29 2012 qrunner(3325): main() 4 Jun 13 22:15:… [View More]

Regarding mailman 2.1.12 (RHEL6/CentOS6)
by Pro Green European June 12, 2012

June 12, 2012

Hi. I'm running a mailman (v.2.1.12) mailinglist on a Centos 6.2 system. Now I'm wondering if the version 2.1.12 that comes with both RHEL6 & Centos 6 contain any known bugs that make mailman 2.1.12 vulnerable? The system is SeLinux enabled. Regards, /PGE

Sender's address only in Reply-to field
by Jeremy Fairbrass June 12, 2012

June 12, 2012

Hi all, I'm administering a Mailman list using version 2.1.14. It's a private list, whereby only list members can post to it ("generic_nonmember_action" is set to discard). I've just had an email sent through the list which was sent from a web service (Evite.com to be precise) by one of the list members. The email itself had an evite.com address in the From header, and had the list member's own address in the Reply-To header. The email was accepted by Mailman and delivered to all list members.… [View More]
