Re: [Mailman-Users] amending someone's email address

 Apologies if this is in the documentation somewhere - I have tried looking!
 
 Question:
 I'm the administrator for a number of lists and often receive a message from
 a list member alerting me to a change in their email address.  Can I amend
 their email address for them or do they have to re-subscribe to the list
 using their new address?

You can do it for them, but you'll be unsubscribing them and
resubscribing them under their new email address.

Remember, Mailman has no understanding of "people."  It knows
only email addresses.  So, to mailman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a
completely different thing to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Are you certain that 

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

is a valid email address?

The machine camilla.mweb.co.za appears not to know about

[Mailman-Users] archive rebuild issue

2001-01-10 Thread Jerry Adlersfluegel

In trying to rebuild a list's archives, it appears that ~/bin/arch
listname puts a lock on the list, and no mail goes through. Is this the
correct behavior? (Mailman 2.0.1, Python 1.5.2)

Thanks!

[Mailman-Users] How to prevent posting?

2001-01-10 Thread Sacred Heart Webpastor


I am working with two non-profit sites and have recently signed-up for
Mailman (version 2.0beta6) lists through our service provider
(hostway.com).

We would like to set up both lists as announcement systems:  i.e. only
one or two administrators can post messages to it, subscribers flat-out
cannot post at all (the administrator does not even get an approval
request).  However, I have not found an option to configure the lists in
this way.

Can this be done?
Can you suggest any site or documentation where I could learn how to do
this?

Isn't there a way to get procmail and mailman to play together nicely?
procmail complains about ~mailman's home directory being too open.

 Setting those appropriately will cause the list to hold all
 postings for admin approval

*sigh* Why is it that every time the question, "How do I configure the list
to reject all non-admin postings without making the admin manually reject
them?" comes up, someone has to respond with, "Easy - just tell the list to
hold non-admin posts for approval."?

"Hold for approval" is not the same as "reject unconditionally without admin
intervention".

Sorry for my lame question, but why I can't subscribe to email adress, which

What does it mean "Your subscription is not allowed because the email

[Mailman-Users] Per-list confirm and passwordless unsub

2001-01-10 Thread Gergely Soros

Thanks for this great piece of software, we are happy users of Mailman.

If there is a wishlist for Mailman, I'd like to add two requests to it:

Per-list subscribe confirm messages similar to the welcome message.
By the way, it'd be nice to be able to edit the whole welcome message,
not just a portion of it.

Option to configure the list to allow passwordless unsubscription.
We have some lists with users having problems unsubscribing and
keeping a note of  multiple passwords when they are subbed to 
several lists. They don't seem to understand the instructions no
matter how clearly we try to word these. It's a constant pain for
list admins to deal with each of these users personally.
This is being an urgent issue, so maybe someone can show me the
right directions for patching Mailman 2.0. We have a separate 
domain for the lists on a modified Redhat 6.2 system with Sendmail.
My idea is creating an alias, e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] that will
call a Python script to remove the email address specified in the
From: header of the mail. The problem is that I'm completely new
to Python and don't have the few days now to learn it. 
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[Mailman-Users] Return-Path Problem

2001-01-10 Thread Eric Wang

Let's see we have mail list [EMAIL PROTECTED]

people normally post message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], after mailman delivered the
message to subscribers,mailman will organize the mail header become like
this:
Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
.
.
.
From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

so , when some stupid mail client program reply such a email message,
then [EMAIL PROTECTED] was taken as reply email address instead of
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

My question is can we change the way mailman to organize message
somehow, then the email address ABC-admin won't get the email it should
not get?
