Also, use Woody's Python and Mailman packages - Potato's are extremely out of date. Or roll your own Mailman - but I would still recommend updating Python.

You might want to take some time reading the archives of this list, and look for people's complaints - they will accustom you to Mailman's idiosyncrasies.

[Mailman-Users] Redundant headers in digests
I subscribe to the SA Talk list for SpamAssassin discussions in digest mode. When I receive a digest, it shows all the headers in every digested message. So I get loads of List-*, Resent-*, Content-Type, etc., etc. headers in each and every digested message. IMHO, Mailman should remove these from outgoing digests.

Thanks for your response. I managed it to work. I had to slightly modify /etc/htdig-mailman/archive.conf - common_dir and search_results_wrapper directives was added. I noticed that there was no newline character after the last line of directives (but i think that was my mistake). OK, everything is working fine. The only thing is that i have to create my own templates to suit mailman visual style ... thanks Z.P. Just a point of clarification. Are you using the Mailman-htdig integration patches 444879 and 444884 posted on sourceforge? If not ignore what follows. If so the way you describe as fixing the problem will not last. The link in htdig's CONFIG_DIR directory (looks like its /etc/htdig-mailman in your case) is a symbolic link to a directory in Mailman's file structures: $prefix/archives/htdig. This directory in turn contains one symbolic link per archived mailing list. These links point to $prefix/private/listname/htdig/listname.conf respectively, these being the per list htdig conf files. Each Mailman list has its own htdig configuration file which is automatically generated by the code added to Mailman when the first message is posted to that list after installation of the patch. [If you want to know why things are organized this way then think about dealing with the issue of security for private archives under search and the need to isolate list search indexes for lists from each other.] The way you have fixed the problem will only apply to the list whose htdig conf file you have edited. I doubt you want to have a career editing these htdig conf files as a new one is created for each new archived mailing list on your system. You really want to get at the root of your problem which is what is wrong with your htdig installation such that htsearch cannot find the default htdig COMMON_DIR. The ./configure and make install for htdig should have branded this information into the htsearch CGI program. For the sake of your future sanity I strongly suggest you take a hard look at your htdig installation and correct what has gone wrong. If you are really determined not to fix the htdig side of things then it is possible to change the code that generates the htdig conf files for the lists to try and compensate. If you want I'll point you in the direction of the source code to change but at that point you'll have to be your own support person for the revised code. I'll assume you got a list which has archiving turned on, has had posts to it since the integration patches were installed and archiving was turned on, and either you or cron have subsequently run the $prefix/cron/nightly_htdig script.

Re: [Mailman-Users] changing subscriber options
On May 30, 2002 12:04 am, you wrote: You really need to take a look at Mailman's web UI. It does this and what you asked for in your previous message. That is simply not true for my problem with changing user settings. It may be true for the admin password now that I think of it since I can hopefully use the site password to log into the list and change it there (as long as this remembers scope properly and doesn't change my password instead of the lists). I do not think that this was covered in the manual however. As to my other question though. . . Mailman's web interface lets you make changes to users onesies twosies via one huge form with individual check boxes for every user (yuck). This means that for a list with more than a handful of subscribers you are doing one hell of a lot of clicking and submitting. In my case I am looking after the listbox itself and it is simply not reasonable to expect that I should have to click 1000+ checkboxes, another 34 clicks to go through each page, etc. times the number of lists on the box just to perform basic administration. Like I said, I do not want to get carpel tunnel syndrome just from performing standard mass administration duties in Mailman. I *know* pretty much for a fact that there should be a way to achieve this via withlist but as I am not sure what the specific properties are that need to be changed or how to reference their methods, I am asking for help here. So again, if anyone can suggest how to *from the command line* adjust list members options (so that it can be scripted), I would definitely appreciate it.

[Mailman-Users] New to Mailman -- Dropped messages to list owner's own email
Good evening, all, or good morning to those in distant time zones! I've been using Mailman for just shy of a week, with generally good results, but have run into a very strange problem as my configuration complexity has grown. I've been to the FAQ, the online docs, and numerous Google searches of the list archives, to no avail. I'm sure someone has seen this before, and I'm hoping you can help. The configuration is this: I am on a Linux server where I have root privileges but do not own the server. Because of this, I try to keep as many of my configurations as possible confined to my regular login, so as not to disrupt the rest of the functions of this machine. I have Mailman 2.1b2 (beta) installed in ~/mailman. By the way, I tried the stable version first and encountered this same (exactly!) problem, and went to the beta in hopes that it would be fixed -- so I don't think it's a beta bug. I own two domains and want to share one instance of Mailman between them. Call the domains d1.com and d2.net. Neither of these domains is the official domain in which the server lives. I read the docs on how to do this, got Mailman set up, and everything is working perfectly with the exception of the one issue. All through-the-web interfaces are working flawlessly, including the archives. Now, to avoid an intrusive bunch of changes to /etc/mail/virtusertable and /etc/aliases, I am setting up Mailman to use procmail for local routing within my own login. Here is the setup: /etc/mail/virtusertable: @d1.com local:mylogin @d2.net local:mylogin [EMAIL PROTECTED] local:mylogin In ~/.procmailrc: LOGFILE=/home/mylogin/Procmail/log :0: * ^TO_\/(mylogin|myotherlogin)@d1.com $DEFAULT :0fw * ^[EMAIL PROTECTED] |/home/mylogin/mailman/mail/mailman post staff :0fw * ^TO_staff-\/(owner|admin|bouncesand so on...|subscribe)@d2.net |M=`echo $MATCH | sed -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]//'` /home/mylogin/mailman/mail/mailman $M staff Now, EVERYTHING is working great -- users can subscribe, post messages, list owner features and user features from web work fine. All messages go to the archives, just like clockwork. Everything works -- except that *I* get no mail from the list! I have tried sending mail to the list from several subscribed addresses, and it all goes through and posts to everyone but my two main addresses. Oddly enough, all regular inbound mail is caught by the first procmail rule and stays in my $DEFAULT folder as intended. I have verified this by temporarily putting another folder name in there. No errors in any of the SMTP logs, Mailman logs, or procmail logs. The procmail log shows a one-byte message being posted to my /var/spool/mail/mylogin mailbox. That's the only anomaly. Any ideas?
