RE: [Mailman-Users] Problems making mailman work.
However, Mailman is not sending out mail. I noticed it when I created my first mailing list. It's supposed to send a message to the owner. But, it does not. Any ideas? I've tried the instructions under README.LINUX and I know my sendmail is working. Check both sendmail and mailman logfiles to see if messages arive and get sent out. You might find some warnings/errors there. -- netivity bv www.netivity.nl [EMAIL PROTECTED] 038 - 850 1000 van nagellstraat 4 8011 eb zwolle -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
[Mailman-Users] configuration restrictions
Hello I'm testing mailman to substitute Majordomo. It seems to be more flexible, with many more features and options and more user friendly, so the choice is easy :-) I need to create a relative special set of lists. I'm very interested that people who owns a list (list moderator-approval), would be able to add, remove people from the list and approve the postings if it's the case, so I want them to access the web interface as list-owners. In the other hand I DON'T WANT let them modify the configuration options of the lists being managed. I want to create the list with a template (all are closely the same) and pass the day by day operation of the list, but with no choice of human error removing the lists, changing the permisions for posting, filters, digest format, and so on. Is this possible ? It would be great if I can hide the options in the web interface, but is enough if they are blocked.

[Mailman-Users] Changing a list administrators password (when password lost)
Hi I need to change a list's admin password, I do not have it - its lost... (new administrator taking over.) I can log into the admin pages using the site admins password (which I can also change via bin/mmsitepass) but it does not let me change the list ADMIN password.

RE: [Mailman-Users] Is it possible
Well the problem is people are going to the web site, entering their login information and receiving something from the server saying reply to confirm. So the user thinks it's working. No email goes to blah-request until the user attempts to confirm, at which point it bounces... If Subscribe Here weren't on the web page, that would be a whole lot cleaner. -Yanek. -Original Message- From: J C Lawrence [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 1:22 PM To: Yanek Korff Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Is it possible On Tue, 29 May 2001 13:03:43 -0400 Yanek Korff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: to disable peoples' ability to subscribe if we set up a server to do nothing but handle mail archives?

Re: [Mailman-Users] AOL User Posts and =20 Problem
On 12:18 PM 5/29/01, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When an AOL user ... versions 4,5, and 6 inclusive, posts to a pairList the immediate postings are delivered and appear normal to those users receiving in MIME or plain text formats. The digest formats are quite screwed up in that they show the AOL members' posts with =20 strings at the end of each line, then a repeat of the entire post with some HTML tags visible. I know AOL's email interpretation of HTML is half-assed at best, but this is not tolerable in its present form. These quirks hold true regardless of the setting for a given member receiving the Digest format in MIME or plain text. AOL users are not given the choice of sending plain text vs. HTML email. It sends in pseudo-HTML by default and this is unchangeable. The vast majority of subscribers to my particular list are AOL members, so this is quite a problem. A quick search of this list's archives for the word demime finds: http://search.python.org/query.html?rq=0col=listsht=0qp=qt=demimeqs=qc=pw=100%25ws=0la=qm=0st=1nh=10lk=1rf=0oq=rq=0si=1 If you didn't know about demime, you could search on remove mime and find http://search.python.org/query.html?col=listsht=0qp=qt=%22remove+mime%22qs=qc=pw=100%25ws=0qm=0st=1nh=10lk=1rf=0rq=0si=1 which has a post that references it.

The server isn't creating the list alias correctly. When I try to subscribe, the confirmation message bounces back to me. Ugh. -Original Message- From: Mike T.

[Mailman-Users] Misdirected links on Administration Web Pages (installed on OS X)
Hola, I've just installed Mailman 2.0.5 on OS X Client v10.0.3 (got it to compile, and deliver mail to the test mailing list), but I am having trouble with the web interface. After I successfully log in as a list administrator, the following links all take me to the General Options page http://server/mailman/admin/test/ instead of their respective pages: * Tend to pending administrative requests * Go to the general list information page * Edit the HTML for the public list pages * Go to list archives [if it is a private list, I can see the archive if it is public] Also I can't get a subscriber options page to load. I am always taken to the Admin page (if I'm not logged in, it prompts me for a password). I am using Sendmail and Apache. The relevant apache.conf lines follow: ### Begin apache.conf excerpt # Mailman additions ScriptAlias /mailman/ /Users/mailman/Lists/cgi-bin/ #Directory /Users/mailman/Lists/cgi-bin/ #AllowOverride None #Options None #Order allow,deny #Allow from all #/Directory Alias /Mmimages/ /Users/mailman/Lists/icons/ Directory /Users/mailman/Lists/icons/ Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory Alias /pipermail/ /Users/mailman/Lists/archives/public/ Directory /Users/mailman/Lists/archives/public/ Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks /Directory # end Mailman additions ### End apache.conf excerpt I've tried the conf with the shown Directory tags commented out and included, with the same results. I've looked at the logs, but for the most part clicking on the links above return status code 200, even though the page that gets returned is not the correct one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Raul. -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
