A user had been sending subscription requests to the listname-join address and was being rejected. I realized that I hadn't even thought about mailman's alias addresses. So, I began to investigate and some user manual says that a user can send to the listname-join or listname-subscribe to request to be subscribed. I assume that means that no commands are sent, as is done with the listname-request address.
So, I sent a message to the listname-join address of one of my test lists, with no commands. The result was: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 12/14/2006 9:59 AM Failed (cannot append message to destination file /|/var/mailman/mail/mailman join listname: cannot create file exclusively: No such file or directory) It appears that mailman is trying to write some temp file or something and doesn't have write permissions. Can anyone clarify what I need to modify to make this work? -- Christopher Adams [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
