Setting up SSL Virtualhost for Mailman
by Sean Son 12 Sep '18

12 Sep '18

Hello all I have to set up SSL for our mailman instance and I am stuck on how the SSL Virtualhost for HTTPs should be set up. I know the FAQ on the list.org website explains all of the steps for setting up HTTPS with mailman, but I do not see anything that explains how to set up the actual virtual host and which options and directives should be in the virtual host.. Any and ALL help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks Sean

private archives, but not when accessing from intranet?
by Ralf Hildebrandt 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

Is it possible to make a list archive private (thus requiring Email&pass), but allowing access when accessing from special IPs (i.e. intranet)?
