[Mailman-Users] Upgrading to 2.08...

[Richard Idalski]

I have an existing mailman install of v2.06, it's under heavy daily use, so downtime isn't really an option. What is the suimplest way to upgrade to v2.08 with the least amount of time down?   I really want to get past the bug with the malformed bounce emails, becuase that seems to effect me almost daily.      Thanks in advance,               Richard Idalski -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jon Carnes Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 10:13 AM To: alix olson; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] help.. Obtain the software from:   http://sourceforge.net/projects/mailman/   I recommend that you download v 2.0.8 as this is the current stable version. I also recommend that you install it on a Linux box.  If you use a standard distribution like Mandrake, you will find that it comes with an earlier version of Mailman.  Previous versions of Mailman had a bug that would cause them to stop delivering if they received a malformed bounce email, so you will want the 2.0.8 version.   4000 email addresses is not a problem for Mailman - if you run it on a fairly decent machine with adequate internet access.   Once you have installed Mailman, and followed all the install directions, then you will create a list and subscribe your email addresses to that list.   ----- Original Message ----- From: alix olson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2001 4:40 PM Subject: [Mailman-Users] help.. hello, how can we attain mailman software for our mailing list management? we have about 4000 names- would that be okay? can we subscribe them to the list? thanks, alix
