The message there is a bounce message (ie from <>), so its likely that the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] is undeliverable in some way (or was at the time of the freeze). Most likely reason for this is someone sending a message to an unknown user of yours from an undeliverable sender address - bounce message cannot then be delivered. In this case the address looks as though its one of your Mailman admin addresses so probably failed for a different reason. Suggest you check through your exim logs for 16MNzN-0004Ri-00 - you should also be able to discover the message log entries fro the message that generated the bounce. Try using exim -d5 -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED] to find out if that address can be resolved, and to hopefully give hints as to whats wrong.

[Mailman-Users] Premature End of Headers
All, I have Mailman installed and working ( for nine months now ). Yesterday I rebooted my server for the first time in four months. Today, Mailman works (send mail) but the Admin interface doesn't. I receive 'Internal Server Error' in the browser window. in httpd/error.log I receive the 'Premature end of headers' error, I recieve no error in syslog (messages) or maillog. I can force the GID error to show up in maillog by executing mailman/cgi-bin/admin from the command line, but I don't get that when visiting the admin page from the browser. Help? Thank you, Scott Rogers BTW, the list server is running at www.highcountryrugby.com

Re: [Mailman-Users] Premature End of Headers
Thanks to Skip and all of you out there on the list I figured out the problem. As it turns out, it was an IE6 'cookie' problem.

[Mailman-Users] Newbie question - newletter, and importing members?
Hello, I am looking at mailman as one possible solution for providing a mailing list for up to 10,000 recipients. This would be for a client who would like to send a newsletter as well as promotional offers to their customers. First of all, would mailman be a good selection for this functionality? We would need to: 1.) Create a list with members from a file provided by the client from their database (Microsoft SQL server database), or in flat file format to be imported; and then 2.) Allow only the client to submit "mail" to the list? Finally we would need to: 3.) Allow the recipients to "opt out" of receiving any future mailings via automated e-mail request handling? How tough would this be to implement something like this? Is most of this standard usage for this application? Thanks for any and all opinions! Jim

[Mailman-Users] domain name switch ignored by mailman
Hello, I recently installed mailman onto a Red Hat 7.1 box running sendmail. Mailman works great, except that I have reconfigured it to use the cyclend.com domain name as the default. It was originally set to something else. It seems to ignore this setting and, when emailing outgoing messages (like password reminders) it uses the old domain name. I want to abolish this old domain name, but am unsure how to go about doing so.

Hi. I'm a recent mailman convert and have my list all up and running. Now it's on to the details, like why my archive doesn't work.

[Mailman-Users] Can't get listinfo to show my lists
Hi all, I just finished installing mailman 2.0.8 under linux redhat 6.2. Great job at documenting the installation! Not even a glitch! Now, the internal name of the machine where this system is running is machinea.domain.com. That name is also accessible through internet, but we rarely use that name, we use domain.com to relay mail. So, I modified the list within the admin pages and where it says: Host name this list prefers it used to say (by default): machinea.domain.com and I replaced that by domain.com Everything works fine. I can subscribe and send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it works fine. However, when I go to the listinfo page the link to the listname is not there anymore and this happened when I modified that 'Host name this list prefers' option. However, when I go the listinfo page I get a link to 'the list admin overview page', and if I go there I can see the lists named. Of course, those links are for the login admin page. So, the question is: how do I get the lists to show up under listinfo when I do modify that 'Host name this list prefers' option?
