[Mailman-Users] Restricting access to the create list web page
Hi, I have just upgraded to Mailman 2.1 and all my previous problems have now vanished and its working prefectly (only taken a week of constant searching and brain bashing) I have just noticed (maybe I never realised before), but there is a web page that will allow list admins to create a new list. Is there anyway I can restrict access to this page, by say IP. I don't want joe public top be able to bring this page up at all, only the internal network list admins. I was thinking of a directive in the mailman httpd.conf file, but not sure where to put it. Any help would be great Mark -- Eagles may soar..

[Mailman-Users] Two questions: external headers and moderation
Hi, First of all forgive if this message is inappropiate for the charter (too technical). Is my first post, and I haven't found the answers in the archive. To the point: a) I have a 'sponsored' list and need to include some random footers in the posts. Is there a way to include external commands' output there? b) Some of my moderated lists have quite a lot of traffic, but most of the posts turn out to be Ok. I though email based moderation would ease things on the moderator. It turns out that the confirm/deny message comes as a MIME attachment and his MUA (Kmail, BTW) treats it as 'read-only', so he can't reply to it. To make things worst, Kmail wouldn't allow him to cutpaste the Subject line of the attachment also... :( I know it is a MUA's bug, but I'm trying to find a workaround to it. Is there some way to have this info in the message body or something? Also, I was expecting to have some approve/deny mechanism that wouldn't involve sending the password in clear text. Is this planned for some future release? Thanks in advance for any help. Fernando P.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Not updating server URL on all lists
Have you gone into the web-admin for the offending lists and changed their default URL's from there? Also, when you do a ~mailman/bin/config_list of the offending lists what URL's show up from the configuration databases? Note: you can also use ~mailman/bin/config_list to make changes to your lists config (read the help inside the command file).

Using mailman without passwords WAS Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman

Yes there are work-arounds that let you do this. Yes, it is a very bad idea to setup a list this way - as I'm sure you will eventually find out. Just testing this on my mailman installation (Mailman 2.1) and it doesn't require a password. I have nothing extra installed (wrappers/addons/etc). 1. I subscribe'd by sending an empty email with 'subscribe' in the subject to listname-request@host NOTE: This same process was repeated using the web based form without supplying any password. However, mailman did assign me a password (which I ignored for the rest of the steps). 2. confirmed by just replying to the email sent to me (which finalized my subscription process and I start receiving mail). 3. I unsubscribed by sending an empty email with 'unsubscribe' in the subject to listname-request@host NOTE: Going to http://host/mailman/options/listname/address%40host gives me an unsubscribe button. Pushing this sends me the unsubscribe confirm email. 4. a reply to the sent email finalizes the unsubscribe process. All steps done without any passwords being sent or used. So editing the templates (welcome message) and other web forms, one could easily remove refrences to the password, so users won't know the difference. Without password authenticating the user can only unsubscribe or have the password sent to them. All other options (digest mode/etc) cannot be set by the user, only the admin. Now my 2 disclaimers. 1. Do with this information as you see fit, its not the recommended way to setup a list. 2.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman 2.1: ImportError: No module namedpythonlib.StringIO
Hmmm, it may be a Python error. Perhaps your RPM version of Python doesn't load all the modules that you need. This has been a problem in the past with other distributions. See if there are other supplemental RPM's for Python - like a development RPM that has additional modules (like the StringIO module).

[Mailman-Users] Feedback on Mailman 2.1
Often the programmers and the development team overlook things in upgrading because they don't have the same experience as the end user. I want to point out such a case to you so you can fix 2.1. As a 2.0.11 user I did not need the list mailman and didn't have one. Thus when I upgraded it mostly worked. And it took a lot of work to figure out what I missed. Perhaps the install/upgrade should create this list or at least there should be some sort of error or better documentation. Just wanted to give you a heads up on this to improve this fine product. Also - there used to be a post-only patch that allowed members of the post-only list to post to all other lists. I very much need this feature in 2.1 so that I can upgrade the lists at the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
