Re: [Mailman-Users] Announce-only lists?
Because faking the 'From' header is easy. You could write a program that reads standard input, removes the From address and the Received lines, then forwards the mail to the list addresses using the list From address. Hook the program up to a secret e-mail address. It should be just as secure as an approval password. By the way, this interests me, too. I'm not worried about spam; I'm worried about jerks sending e-mail to the announce list just because they can (to show how smart they are, etc.). There are a lot of people like that, you know. == Dan Richter == mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] === People say I am ruthless. I am not ruthless.

Apply the patches from Sourceforge and then follow the step by step directions and it will be done in about 2 hours. BTW: HtDig is a search engine, so it will index any of your local web pages - not just the archives! Htdig can be configured to provide search of material other than the MM list archives. However, the patches posted on sourceforge deliberately: 1. generate per list htdig config files so that each list has its own, separate search indexes. That is separate from other lists archives and any Htdig indexes for other material 2. a cron script which runs re-indexing for each list independently 3. makes Htdig searches of list archive indexes deliver search results returning URLs which invoke a cgi script (installed by the patch) to preserve list privacy. If you want to index other stuff on the same server with Htdig then you have to add your own htdig config file to cover that material and provide your own serach form to get thoses indexes searched.

[Mailman-Users] Problems with the archive
Hi I have installed Mailman2.0.13 and everything seem to be working great except the archive. All mail sent to the list get sent to the members, and logged to the raw archive right away, but not the "real archive". I have been trying to run the command that is in the crontab manualy, but it dont create the archive or give any error message output or in the logs. I got a little compile error too, posted it here: http://home.no/knut3/mailman-error.txt Some system info: Linux 2.4 (Slackware) qmail with a own virtual host for the list(using contrib/qmail-to-mailman.py) mail-gid=mailman's group id prefix= /home/system/mailman compiled in /home/system/mailman/mailman-2.0.13 as user mailman with the "mailhost" and "wwwhost" options set. Any suggestion of what i can try to fix this problem?

RE: [Mailman-Users] Cleaning out messages and archives
= Original Message From [EMAIL PROTECTED] =
I am trying to learn how to maintain the message archives in Mailman. How
can I remove a specific message, range of messages, or all messages? Is there
a web interface to do this (would be very nice) or how does one maintain the
amount of messages saved, etc.
Thanks,
Capn.
Capn, the way I clean up one year old archives at my site is with
two scripts. The first warns the list owner about the deletion, the
second deletes any archive over a year. Unfortunately, these scripts
only look after the 'monthly-named' ones - not the yearly, quarterly,
(2002q4) or daily ones. I haven't had/taken the time to put the name
variations into the scripts. Watch the linewraps. Others may do it
better, YMMV.

[Mailman-Users] qrunner problems
