Hi,
I have a mailman installation on a Debian 3 Woody server.
For a list I have configured the archive option o be active only for subscribed users.
When I now try to access the archive, it ask email and password as it should be, and after a succesful login, I can select the messages I would like to see. When I then select a thread, it asks me again to login.
What can be wrong? Session cookies should be active. I have tried with IE5, Opera 7.23 and Mozilla 1.5....
TIA
Wolfgang

Hi Brad,
I'm using MailMan 2.0.11 as default for Debian Woody.
I have now tracked down the thing to erroneus session cookies. MailMan sets all cookies to an expiration date of january, 1, 1970.
I have modified the apache configuration for a default value of 60 minutes, but the MailMan cookie keeps the wrong expiration date.
I have now looked at www.backports.org, and there is a newer version available: 2.1.4. Should this cure my problems?
Thank you very much!
Wolfgang

It's hard to say. There are a lot of issues in making an upgrade
of this scale, and making this big a leap may cause more problems than it solves. You should think hard about this before making your decision.
