Re: [Mailman-Users] Wish: Spam by vacation notifications in Mailman
Front-end your mailman lists with something like SpamAssassin and add a rule that kills these vacation replies. The real culprit is the idiot who sets his filter to respond to all mail (as opposed to mail sent directly to them). Even then a responsible person only send the message once in response to any one individual!

Re: [Mailman-Users] Re: no mail out to lists
hmmm, do the headers from the email shed much light on what is going on? They should at least indicate *where* the mail was held (and then released).

[Mailman-Users] New lists do not work
Dear folks, I have no expertise at all in computer programming or the mailman program. Our installation set up by a good programmer who is not too familiar with mailman. He doesn't have the time to participate in this list. So I'll present our problem in the language of one who doesn't understand the technical language and I'll forward any suggestions to our programmer. Here's the situation: 1. Our mailman program was working fine for several months. 2. When some configuration changes were made to our server, sendmail stopped woring as did the mailman forwarding capabilities. The cause was located and corrected and all seemed to be fine. All our lists started to work again and continue to work well. But 3. New lists that are created do not work. 4. It is initially possible to administer the list, but when the first message is sent, it does not forward and, after that, it is no longer to access the administration page. The admin page comes up, you type in the password, but, then, nothing happens. Any suggestions?

[Mailman-Users] Disparate list locations
(Please CC or direct reply, I'm not on the list) Folks, Is there any way to have multiple locations with one set of binaries? I have a web structure like so: /projects/bob /sue /john All data for the project's web space exists under the project path. So, a tar(1) or mv(1) of /projects/bob means that all of the data for bob is included. I can move it about as I please. My understanding of mailmain and mm_cfg.py is that I can't have /projects/bob/mailman /sue/mailman where the mailman software is in /usr/lib/mailman, and each different location has the proper bits. To clarify. I want http://myhost/projects/sue/listinfo/sue-list to reference /projects/sue/mailman/lists/sue-list. I want http://myhost/projects/sue/archives/sue-list to reference /projects/sue/mailman/archives/sue-list. The same for the bob and john projects. With the current mm_cfg.py, listinfo only accesses one directory. There is (to my knowledge) no way to tell it where to go for bob vs sue. To be clear, I don't want to compile a new mailmain binary tree for each project. That's overkill. I am guessing that the 'right' answer is to create symlinks. So, /var/lib/mailman/lists/sue-list -> /projects/sue/mailman/lists/sue-list and /var/lib/mailman/archives/sue-list -> /projects/sue/mailman/archives/sue-list. This allows the data to live in the correct place. Is there a better way? Joel -- Life's Little Instruction Book #456 "Send your loved one flowers.

[Mailman-Users] BUG 2.1b4
I have installed mailman 2.1b4 in my web server, using 3 virtual domain. I use postfix + apache. The problem is with the configuration of virtual domain for "pipermail". In my virtual domain all is correct, and if I restest: http://my.domain/pipermail/namelist the directory is shown with all messages. But, in the LINK in the page of the list (http://my.domain/mailman/listinfo/namelist) is coded the name of the REAL domain. Any suggestion?

I would suggest that the first order of business is to hire a system administrator. As long as you have people who "don't have time" to keep your infrastructure up and running and familiarize themselves with the software the company is using, you will continue to have problems. For example, who is going to apply security patches? Who is going to perform backups? Who is going to get new machines up and running? Who is going to install and configure new software? Who is going to ensure that the infrastructure continues to meet the needs of the company? These are just some of the functions required to maintain the technology assets of any company, large or small. Then there's the obvious question of who is going to fix things when they stop working. > 3. New lists that are created do not work. > 4.

The admin access > page comes up, you type in the password, but, then, nothing happens. On the subject of mail from new lists not forwarding, did you forget to update the aliases file and/or run newaliases? As for the problems accessing the administration page, more information would be helpful. Was there anything of significance in the logs? Are your Mailman and Python up to date? What version of Mailman are you running? Are there files in the locks directory that could be hosing things? Seriously, think about hiring a system administrator. Every company larger than three or four people that uses computers should have one. If your company is small and doesn't have the resources to retain a full-time administrator, you could hire someone part-time or outsource the function.

[Mailman-Users] New lists do not work
Dear folks, We haven't made any progress on this one, so let me send it out again to see if someone recognizes something: I have no expertise at all in computer programming or the mailman program. Our installation set up by a good programmer who is not too familiar with mailman. He doesn't have the time to participate in this list. So I'll present our problem in the language of one who doesn't understand the technical language and I'll forward any suggestions to our programmer. Here's the situation: 1. Our mailman program was working fine for several months. 2. When some configuration changes were made to our server, sendmail stopped woring as did the mailman forwarding capabilities. The cause was located and corrected and all seemed to be fine. All our lists started to work again and continue to work well. But 3. New lists that are created do not work. 4. It is initially possible to administer the list, but when the first message is sent, it does not forward and, after that, it is no longer possible to access the administration page. The admin access page comes up, you type in the password, but, then, nothing happens. 5. Also, it is not possible to delete these lists and try to create them again with the same name. Any suggestions?
