Re: [Mailman-Users] changing the Welcome message on a per list basis... a shot in the dark
Okay, here is the deal...
- You can simply change the text in subscribeack.txt and you are done.
This changes every welcome message from every list, or
- You can edit the file ~mailman/Mailman/Deliverer.py and change the
following block of text so that it will check for an existence of an
alternative file to 'subscribeack.txt':
===
# get the text from the template
text = Utils.maketext(
'subscribeack.txt',
{'real_name' : self.real_name,
'host_name' : self.host_name,
'welcome' : welcome,
'emailaddr' : self.GetListEmail(),
'listinfo_url': self.GetScriptURL('listinfo', absolute=1),
'optionsurl' : self.GetOptionsURL(name, absolute=1),
'password': password,
})
===
The following function added to Deliverer.py may help...
===
def specwelcome(listname):
Return special welcome file for `listname' if it exists.
# If a special subscibeack.txt file exists in the lists home directory
# use that instead of the normal one specified in the templates dir
welcfile = os.path.join(mm_cfg.LIST_DATA_DIR, listname, 'subscribeack.txt')
if not os.path.exists(welcfile):
welcfile = subscribeack.txt
return welcfile
===
This function looks for a copy of the subscribeack.txt file in the lists
home directory (~mailman/lists/listname/..). If it finds a copy then it
uses that, instead of the common one in ~mailman/templates/...
At least, that is what it's supposed to do!
To use it, you would add the function to Deliverer.py and then replace the
existing line (in Deliverer.py):
'subscribeack.txt',
with something like:
specwelcome(name),
===
I'm just hacking code together, so this may or may not hose you. Still its
a start. Don't be afraid to play with it and get it working just the way
you want! Python is extremely readable code (unlike perl!). Remember to
backup any file before you modify it!

Thanks for testing it! I'll give it a run tonight myself and tweak it. Shouldn't be too hard to make it work, though it might work better if I used a file in the ~mailman/templates/.. directory. It also doesn't need to be a function - I just thought I would get fancy. It should be easy to play with and get it to work.. === I grepped the ~mailman/Mailman/.. dir for subscribeack.txt and found it in the file Deliverer.py. Then I peeked at the code in Deliverer.py and saw that it was a simple import of the text from the file (and then a translation of some dynamic variables from the text). So I thought of replacing the default filename with a function call and having the function return either the default file name (subscribeack.txt), or a different list specific file name (if it existed). I hacked it together in email. Never tested it. It's not something I'm likely to use. I normally don't worry about the welcome message. For my purposes, if it is inappropriate, I don't send a welcome message out.

[Mailman-Users] DEFAULT_URL, DEFAULT_HOSTNAME
I have a problem. Some of the email being sent out by mailman (password reminders, etc.) are coming from an incorrect DEFAULT_URL. For example, mail has a from field of dsl1234.bti.com, which is outdated. It should be set to cyclend.org. The URL they are coming from is the same as the one specified in Defaults.py. The problem is that I have overridden these variables in the mm_cfg.py. For some reason, the values in mm_cfg.py don't seem to be taking affect.

[Mailman-Users] Password?
Hi If a user have been subscribed by a list administrator, how does he/she obtain a password? I am the administrator of a list and I initially mass-added the subscribers but opted not to send out the canned welcome message (I wrote a welcome message on my own). Now I am getting complaints that users can not see the subscriber list because they don't have a password. I have not been able to find anything about this issue in the documentation.

[Mailman-Users] Peronalize postings ?
Hi folks Is there a way to personalize postings? I'm thinking of something like a search and replace within the posted message. Say, for an announcement only list, a message like |Hello name | |This is an announcement bla bla | |To read on, click |a href=http://www.somewhere.org/news?id=22user=emailhere/a gets posted and MM replaces name etc. with the appropiate values. I know there is a similar feature in 2.1 for footers, but I'd like to have more flexibility here. Maybe an addon program to inject postings into the list?

[Mailman-Users] Adding bulk members passwords

By the way, Mailman is brought to you by the Mailman cabal with a capital leading M and a lowercase c leading cabal. It is incorrect to spell it Mailman Cabal (i.e. you should not use StudlyCaps).

[Mailman-Users] Some items for the Wish list
1) Allow users to change the email address the list is being sent to 2) Add an expiration date to membership which, if enabled, will automatically unsub member after it passes. If the to could be the person it's addressed to that would be good, but Since I can't think of a clean way to implement that, I'll leave that off the list.
