Thank you! Yes, when I switched the language for subscribers to Polish, I got a notice in Polish. I am still trying to see if I can take it a step further. I edited $prefix/mailman/messages/pl/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po and commented out line 10230 (msgid "Password // URL" and its Polish translation) and altered line 10234 (msgid "%(host)s mailing list memberships reminder"). I saved the file and ran sudo /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/mailpasswds however, this appears to have had no effect on mailing. What I am trying to do is to make the list more appropriate for the newsletter type of subscribers. They don't care about passwords, options, all they want is to get a (monthly) newsletter. Initially I set the personalization on but because each newsletter is about 100KB in size, this drains server resources when MTA quickly gets many such messages to be sent. So I figured I'd give up on personalization but offered reminders for which I simplified the language templates to be understandable to non-technical people. Mark - I know have no right to ask for any future features but would you consider offering future mailman versions more suited for newsletter type of things? Maybe a general switch during list creation to distinguish between discussion lists (with its own set of settings) and a newsletter type of lists where most of the settings are redundant (digets, passwords, option pages). I really appreciate what you are doing and thank you very much for helping us all. For the time being I kept the personalization on but turned the limit of max concurrent connections to MTA down to 1. Will see if that helps me keep the server sane (the machine is not too powerful and does not have too much RAM) and still communicate using mailman.
