[Mailman-Users] removing host name
Firstly, hello all. I am using Mailman 2.0.11. Is there a way to disable the preferred host name entirely as part of the list addresses? Our subdomains are not registered on the internet and so I need e-mail to come to and go from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] rather than: [EMAIL PROTECTED] if it is ever to get beyond our intranet. If I set the preferred host name blank then the address turns into: list@.domain.com which isn't very helpful. Many thanks in advance, Adrian Lester. -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
Re: [Mailman-Users] removing host name
Aha! I see my problem. I was following the method of the default setting which I found there and just putting the hostname part of [EMAIL PROTECTED] into that box. Having put in domain.co.uk everything is fine.

[Mailman-Users] What happened to my administration login?
I paid someone to install Mailman for me in March of this year. Everything has been fine til now. I'm getting this error message when I try to login to the administrative page: Mailman CGI error!!! The expected gid of the Mailman CGI wrapper did not match the gid as set by the Web server.The most likely cause is that Mailman was configured and installed incorrectly. Please read the INSTALL instructions again, paying close attention to the --with-cgi-gid configure option. This entry is being stored in your syslog: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 99, GOT gid -1. (Reconfigure to take -1?) I have not changed the script. What happened and how can I fix it? I have no knowledge of scripts. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Julie
[Mailman-Users] Digest Help
Hello, I am using your mailman software to distribute my website newsletter, I have a written a front page to the command that allows for subscribe and unsubscribe however my newsletter is in HTML format and when subscribing I would like it to default to "not" plain subscription as default, is there a command switch that I can append to the subscribe command to do this? Or do I have to fire off another email with the switch commands in? Any help would be great! Thanks James Becker

[Mailman-Users] ## Mailman Questions for FAQ
Greetings QUESTIONS FOR MAILMAN #1 Sudden deluge of SPAM hitting the list Under the Security section of the ADMIN it says: ... See forbidden However I cannot find forbidden anywhere on any of the help pages or any of the other pages. Also searched the documentation and the word doesn't occur there either. Will those 'frequent' spammers be blocked if I add their domains to the block screen? How do I block them without getting a notice? Hold posts with header value matching a specified regexp. Allows you to filter out known addresses or domains that function primarily as spam providers. I do not want to HOLD those posts, I want them blocked and deleted without being notified. #2 Sudden deluge of bounces or undeliverables The list has been operating fine for months using this set of subscribers. Suddenly, yesterday, I get 160 undeliverables from known good addresses. Some of them also actually got posted. Today I get 7 more pages of bounces. #3 Bouncing Non-Subscribers I would rather DISCARD and delete all posts from non-subscribers and NOT get any notice of any kind. The option doesn't seem to be available. How do I do that? #4 When are duplicates deleted? If I get duplicate addresses, are they deleted immediately? #5 Remote Unsubscribe Is there a better way to UNSUBSCRIBE people using an email? It is rediculously tedious to remove people (who post a Remove Me to the list) by going to the member management page. If you've got a list of 50,000 subscribers, you have to first load all the initial page, then try to find the page where the address is located, then find that person to UNSUBSCRIBE them. As a side note: the interface is better than most other listservers however your comments on the help buttons are usually no help. They usually just repeat what was said on the main page. Many times they are cryptic, or phrased in such a way that it is unclear what option to actually pick. thanks for the help. The program seems to work okay.

[Mailman-Users] Base URL corrupted
Forgive me for bringing up what must be an old and common error, but I'll be damned if I can find any source for help. One of our users managed to change the base URL of his list to an invalid path, and has of course broken everything. The help files say simply that this must be fixed at the server command line by the administrator, but how I do this has utterly slipped past my perception. If someone could point me to an appropriate README of FAQ, I'd be humbly appreciative.

Re: [Mailman-Users] What happened to my administration login?
Hello, julie This error tells you exactly how configure mailman to work correctly. Apparently you've changed something in the server, and now mailman doesn't like the setup. In this case, it looks liek your apache gid got lost in the shuffle somehow. Have you tried restarting http? Have you installed any software into your system that would change users/groups? Most importantly, have you used mailman since it was installed, and verified that it was actually working, and if you did, how long ago did it quit?

Re: [Mailman-Users] MM Mac OS X ?
How helpful this is remains to be seen, but I have been running mailman with qmail under OS X for a couple of months now. I installed under 10.1 first, using fink to install python, and installing qmail essentially from scratch. After I installed qmail I did a fair amount of testing to ensure that qmail was accepting and delivering mail properly. This is running on my home system, but my daughters' systems are networked via a router, and the whole network is accessing the net through an ADSL connection with static IP and my own domain name. I didn't install mailman until I had mail working properly for everyone and was sure that there were no open relays. I installed 2.0.12 first, then upgraded almost immediately to 2.0.13. I had a couple of problems with permissions, so I reconfigured with various options set. All of this was still under 10.1. After the upgrade to 10.2 I had no obvious problems - everything worked - but when I checked the system log I found I was getting a lot of complaints about pre-binding on python. I haven't worked out what's going on there. It's not that the message doesn't make sense, but that it is intermittent. If I reboot, sometimes the pre-binding message goes away. I haven't spent much time on it, and won't as long as the system operates properly. Eventually fink will catch up with 10.2 or I'll rebuild with the system's version of python - but not today. My needs are light. On a busy day I might get ten incoming messages and direct them to a couple of hundred address. I've had one glitch so far, but it was a qmail freeze which resulted from the trigger file being left in an odd state after I killed the system one night while playing with some early software. I should know better than to run version 0.01 of anything I reset the perms on the trigger and rebooted, and eventually qmail came out of its trance. Mailman itslef has been solid. I was running LetterRip under OS 9, and my users really appreciate the web interface and archiving which mailman provides. Bottom line is, mailman can run under 10.2 but since I haven't tried to install directly I doubt I can help with your problem, though I'm willing to try. I just hope this is encouraging enough that you persevere. What are you using for mail service?

Back in January, when I was setting up a new mail server for our agency, I went with Mac OS X 10.1 for the plain old SMTP/POP needs, but I also needed a listserv package. At the time, I tried unsuccessfully to get Mailman set up but had no luck in the timeframe I was allotted. Instead, I've been running Majordomo pretty successfully since then, using Webmin for my various list administrators to do their thing. I'm now in a position to re-evaluate our listserv options as I'm planning to step up to Mac OS X Server 10.2 (Jaguar) in the next month or two (probably implementing over the Thanksgiving break.) I like the features it includes and it integrates perfectly with our all-Mac network. I'd like to take another look at Mailman, but this time I'm not too proud to ask for help. Long story short, I'm running Mac OSXS 10.2 on a development machine. I spent the better part of this afternoon trying to get it configured. I've got the developer tools installed, of course, and followed the MM directions to the absolute letter. I've created the mailman user and group as directed. I created the mailman directory with proper permissions.

I have no idea what the rest is saying. I know the last line is looking for the file in question, which apparently wasn't created during the install process. The 'wrapper' file is simply missing -- why, I have no idea. I should note here that aside from the first three lines, I got exactly the same error immediately after running the make and before any lists were created. I
