Re: [Mailman-Users] Word attachments in archive?

Is there a way to fix this? I take it that you are running MM 2.0.x? The "undecipherable code" is the encoded form of the attachment which is how attachments are actually transmitted as part of an email; the lines before the "undecipherable code" in the archived message tell you what form of encoding has been used. Effectively, the MM 2.0.x archive is showing you the body of what was actually sent out to the subscribers; typically the MUA of a subscriber is automatically converting the attachments in distributed mail back from their encoded-for-mail-transmission form to their original form. The encoded attachment embedded in the message's archive page is of limited use to the average user. But you can extract the encoded attachment from the archive page's text and use command line tools on UNIX to decode such encoded attachments; the Python base64 module for instance. You have some choices for handling attachments with MM internal archiver: 1. stick with MM 2.0.x and use the following patch to coerce archived mail to plain text, leaving an explanation of what is has done in place of the attachment, and hence remove the attachments from the archive altogether. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=413752&group_id=103 Note that if you use this patch and later upgrade MM 2.0.x to 2.1.1 you need to take an extra step to get clean conversion of your old lists when doing the upgrade. There is a note about this in the MM 2.1.1 UPGRADING file. 2. upgrade to MM 2.1.1 which has the ability to extract attached files from archived mail, store them as separate files in the archive, and leave a links to those files in the body of the archived email. This is a much nicer solution in my view. Thanks, -R- _ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

[Mailman-Users] Fwd: Mailman web interfaces and design
Hi, I am looking for a means of customizing the mailman we pages. I have noticed that some pages can be edited via the interface, but I would like to make more drastic changes (removing links to admin page for example). My first thing that I would like to do is, if possible, to add our own CSSs to the web pages. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, where do I start?

[Mailman-Users] trimming archives
How do you trim back archives?

Let's say I wanna remove ALL archived data prior to 2003. I could find {$MAILMAN}/archives/private -name "2002-*" -exec rm -rf "{}" \; which will take care of the txt an gzipped files and running {$MAILMAN}/bin/arch `{$MAILMAN}/bin/list_lists` would theoretically rearchive them but the problem is the index.html files for each list still has a stanza for each month. What I'm looking for is an automated way of cleaning things up. I don't wanna have to manually edit the idex.html altho it sounds like I may have to ie something like doing another find for index.html, exec sed where it searches for "2002", go back a line to the beginning of the stanza, delete to EOF, and re-addYech =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- generated by /dev/dave -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= David SternUniversity of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies -- 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/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
[Mailman-Users] Monitoring Server
I have sent a newsletter to 5 subscribers - The server seems to be running slow - noticeable when I go the MailMan Web administration. Does any one have any pointers for me so I can check: If the server is done sending all of the email out? -I checked the maillog but there is so much info in there its not really helpful in this case. How I can limit the time the server tries sending an email to a particular address - Ive notices a fair amount of undeliverables - and the server seems to try and resend it for a set amount of time. Also anyone know any free tools that will allow me to monitor in real time server processing - cpu load - Ram usage etc... Thanks.

[Mailman-Users] Problem with Postfix + Mailman,"unresolved" aliases...
Hi all, i have a problem with my installation of Mailman on Postfix; That's the first time i try to install Mailman, so i've read all of the archives and FAQ's before deciding to post on this mailing list :( The (weird) problem is simply this one: my postfix authenticate against a MySQL database, and there are the aliases too. Mailman had his own aliases file, to keep in synchro with postfix. I've configured Mailman (i think it is ok) so when i wrote to [list-name][at][domain] the MTA catch correctly the alias [list-name] in the aliases file. Now comes the trouble: the alias is in this form: pippo: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post pippo" [others follows] where "pippo" is the list name. So, i don't get mail delivered, and in the postfix logs i read: Apr 3 18:53:22 firewall postfix/local[31956]: D27286D464: to=<|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post [EMAIL PROTECTED]>, orig_to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=bounced (unknown user: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post pippo") just like it was searching a user called "|/usr/local/...blabla" !!! And the thing i can't understand is that if i from the shell do: # su postfix # echo "[fake-mail with headers]" | /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post [EMAIL PROTECTED] i got the mail perfectly delivered to all subscribers of [EMAIL PROTECTED], being [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mailing list in question. It seems that there are some problem for postfix (or mailman? uh?) to "resolve" the instruction piped in the alias... please, help me, i'm going crazy about this. Thx in advance Emilio P.s. - i'm sorry for my surely-not-perfect english, i hope that it is anyway understandable... :P -- 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/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
[Mailman-Users] Posts are bypassing moderator
I installed Mailman 2.0.13 in November 2002. Set up a list and it works flawlessly. Last week I attempted to setup another list and ALL HELL HAS BROKEN LOOSE! First the newlist command would not work. Our ISP tech support ,NTT/Verio, reconfigured and "rehashed" the program and said try again. I did and still I'm having a problem. The end result is, I have a new list which exactly mirrors the "good" list setup in November, yet when posting a message, the message goes out to the list and does not stop at the moderator for approval. Verio has spent hours on this reconfiguring all kinds of email accounts, aliases, etc and finally told me this morning that they dont' support Mailman anyway so they can no longer help. I only know a few commands necessary to run this program through the Unix server and I prefer to manage using the web interface when possible. One thought I did have was to re-install Mailman on the server and start over but I do not want to affect the one "good" list that works great. Can I re-install without causing more trouble? Something? Anything? Thanks. John F.

[Mailman-Users] Multiple Mailman Problems
I have installed Debian Woody and set Mailman up (updated to the woody5 security release). The problems I'm having is that none of the options I set in the admin pages seem to work, for instance: 1 - Setting: Prefix for subject line of list postings - not used in e-mails 2 - Setting: Where are replies to list messages directed? Poster is strongly recommended for most mailing lists - always shows the original poster, can't make Reply-To work (even with Explict) 3 - Archive messages? - nothing is archived, ever - the mailboxes in $prefix/archive/private don't exist (the links from $prefix/archive/public do exist though) 4 - Footer added to mail sent to regular list members - no footer added to e-mail I have done most of the security stuff suggested in the Securing Debian manual - which implies setting up PAM and doing lots of security stuff... I get a Tiger message that the user list has no login capability - even though there are cron jobs that depend on it, I'm not sure what that means for me though... Any help appreciated...
