I wrote a nasty script to generate an HTML file that lists all the lists. I run it daily from cron because I didn't want to monkey around with a setuid mailman CGI program. Use your web server to restrict access to the generated HTML file as appropriate. Here's an example. Customize as required. Works for me; it might work for you. #!/usr/bin/perl # Create a web page from the output of the Mailman list_lists command. $cmd="/usr/share/mailman/bin/list_lists"; open LISTINFO, "$cmd |" or die "cannot run $cmd: $!\n"; print ' <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";> <html> <head> <title>Mailing lists</title> <style type="text/css"> .shaded {background: #EEEEEE;} </style> </head> <body> <h1>Mailing lists</h1> <table> '; $rownumber = 0; $headerline = <LISTINFO>; while (<LISTINFO>) { chop; ($listname, $description) = split / - /; $listname =~ s/^\s+//; if ($rownumber % 2) { $class = ""; } else { $class = 'class="shaded"'; } $rownumber++; $lc_listname = lc $listname; print "<tr $class>\n"; print "<td><a href=\"/mailman/listinfo/$lc_listname\">$listname</a>\n"; print "<td>$description\n"; print "<td><a href=\"mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> mail list owner</a>\n"; print "</tr>\n"; } print "</table>"; # page footer print ' </body> </html> '; -- Matt Emerson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
