Heya all,
I have recently set up Mailman on my system in lue of Petidomo, and I must say I am most impressed. I only have a few questions:
Most of my subscribers are reciving more than one copy of every relayed email...so I set the max connections to 1 in the config (I saw that solution in the archives). Is that correct?
How do I get my archives working or are they not implemented yet?
What permissions do you all have set on your /home/mailman and the cgi scripts? I ended up adding mail and nobody to my mailman group.
I am running RedHat Linux 5.1 with all the most recent errata updates for gcc etc etc.
Thanks in advance, great job!

This is normal but not correct. There's a little bug in queueing. Please wait for the new release.
- How do I get my archives working or are they not implemented yet?
Iam curious too. I think no one can tell you anything because nobody say a word about this.

You have to give the same rights as you're running your webserver. This is only a wrapper, which filters out unauthorized runs.

Setting the number of connections to 1 is supposed to work, though.

They were, but then someone removed them in order to upgrade to a new pipermail, but that turned out not to be feasible because pipermail is no longer as portable as Mailman wants to be. Someone's going to have to extend pipermail with a drop-in database before we can go back to using it.

Are there any guides or docs on how to actually set pipermail up to work with mailman? I have posted this question before, but received no response :(((((
