[Mailman-Users] What is "Error decoding authorization cookie?"
One of the list managers is unable to manage his mailing lists. He longs in to the admin page of his lists but when he tries to submit a change or attempt any other administrative duty, he receives the following: "Error decoding authorization cookie". He recently moved out of the area and is now using a Satellite connection. This is the only change he has made. He checked his system and has everything set up the same. I checked to make sure he was using the correct email address for administering his site. Any help is appreciated. Nancy Montano -- Nancy M.

Greg:
Thanks for the suggestions.
Before configuring Mailman this time, I used `hostname www` and
`domainname funkYmonkeybutt.com` to set these values. I also entered the
FQDN "www.fuNkymonkeybutt.com" in /etc/hosts. (Again, pay special
attention capitalization...)
Using the python functions that you used above, gethostname() returned
"www" and gethostbyname("www") returned the system's IP address.
Mailman, though, failed to take the bait and instead used the
pretorious.net values [from a reverse-DNS of pretorious.net I suppose] in
the blue banner across the top of the cgi-bin/admin page. From somewhere -
only God knows where - Mailman found the FQDN that I had intended and used
it in the blue banner across the top of the cgi-bin/listinfo page. (The
FQDN doesn't have any of the upper-case typing that I've been using in
order to identify where Mailman is getting its info so I am still
stumped!)
Thanks, again.

[Mailman-Users] Disaster Recovery - 2 Questions
Mailman is an excellent solution for our use here, however, I have two questions regarding two levels of disaster: Loss of List admin password, Server Crash. Maybe my questions are self-explanatory now, but here goes anyway: if the manager of a particular list loses the admin password for that list, how can I, as the site administrator, regenerate one? And, when setting up Mailman there was a small amount of compilation work. To transfer the files from a backup onto another server, do I just need to transfer the entire file structure of the install location (i.e. /home/mailman) ?

If you have Mailman send a welcome message to each person that you add then they will get their passwords in the Welcome message. Otherwise, you can trigger Mailman to send the passwords out (which it normally does monthly anyway), or any individual can go to the listinfo interface and put in their email address to have their password mailed to them.

For example, you have the following lists running in Mailman: ThreeBlindMice: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] ThreeBears: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] ThreeMenNaTub: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can create an Umbrella List called, "Threesomes" and instead of people, it will contain the above list names. When you send email to Threesomes, it goes to each of the individual lists... Threesomes: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] When mailman sends out a monthly password reminder, it sends an email to every person in its lists. If it did that for the Umbrella List "Threesomes", then it would treat "ThreeBlindMice" as an ordinary user. Mailman would send an email to "ThreeBlindMice" that contained the password for subscribing or unsubscribing it to the list "ThreeSomes". Everyone on the "ThreeBlindMice" list would receive that message with the password. Now that is fine in the case of Minnie and Mighty, but Mickey has been known to do a few silly things in his time... You can keep Mickey from getting the password by telling Mailman to send this type of information to "ThreeBlindMice-owner" instead of to "ThreeBlindMice". By making "Threesomes" into an Umbrella List, you can tell Mailman to add "-owner" to any notices, confirmations and passwords that it sends out to list members. Personally, I would like to see Umbrella Lists do more than just that. IMO, they should only send one message out to each actual user, regardless of how many lists that user is on. Currently, if a user is on multiple lists that are under one Umbrella list, then that user will receive multiple mailings from one message sent to the Umbrella list. In the example above, [EMAIL PROTECTED] would receive two messages everytime someone sent an email to "Threesomes". BTW: there is a work around for that using a script and a cron job to create a separate mass list - but that's not pretty.

[Mailman-Users] Is this a feature or a bug?
