If you're not gating news, then it's safe to turn this off.
4. Can I invoke the qrunner task from cron ('qrunner -o -r All')
on a regular basis in lieu of running qrunner as a background
daemon? I think this is the way it used to work. It would
seem this might be a reasonable tradeoff of CPU cycles for
memory for me in my slice of a low-memory VPS. (It appears
to me that running qrunner as a daemon, with the associated
processes takes about 25 Megs of memory.) Will this cause
any problems (besides making the cron logs balloon)?
Bad idea. You'll just take up this amount of memory every time the cron job fires up, but then the qrunner won't exit and you'll try to fire up another one at the next period.
Mailman used to run this stuff out of cron, but not anymore. The qrunner jobs don't work that way any more. If you try to do things this way, you're likely to come to much grief.
5. The FAQ discusses several ways of forcing mailman to use a
secure apache connection (https). Is there a way of forcing
the admin functions to a secure connection, without requiring
the same for the list users? (Actually, this may be moot,
as it appears one can explicitly use https initially to
protect the admin password when logging in; encrypting the
rest of the session is less important to me. But, I'd like
to force all administrative users to use a secure link,
at least during the authentication phase.)
We tried this. It's really, really hard to secure just part of the Mailman site. It's much easier to just secure the whole thing.
