Hi everyone,
As you would expect my first message here I have some questions about some problems I have.
I set up a mailing list using the cPanel of my hosting provider, and I have been trying to make a header text (msg_header) in the non-digest options. However, no matter what I do, my test mails do not show the header. I asked my hosting provider if there is some backend setting in the software that needs to be changed, but got as a somewhat surprising reply that I cannot use the non-digest options "since Mailman is part of Cpanel, which comes already encrypted". Considering that Mailman is GNU GPL I find it hard to believe that, so I am trying to find out what to tell my provider to do exactly. Browsing the internet has not helped me much. I noticed that there is a OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION setting but I am not sure that setting is needed for msg_header, nor am I sure where that sort of setting can be changed. So my first question is: how can I get that msg_header setting to work?
Secondly I have sent a few test messages to a few email addresses I have but none appear in the archive, which is still completely empty aside from column headings. The archive setting is on. What could I do to make the archive work?
The third issue I have (probably I have more but am not aware of them yet!) is that a response to a list message goed to the sender not to the list, but the reply_goes_to_list setting is on list.
All in all I have the impression that virtually all but the most basic functionality is disabled. My hosting is cheap (I am setting up for a non-profit organisation so little choice!) and I suppose they want to save system resources and avoid risks, but since I will have no more than 75 known subscribers I wonder if their underlying settings could be changed per hosting account.
Thanks in advance for any help!
