Do you get an error message? If so, what is it ?

If not ... can you describe in more detail what happens ?

A good place to start would be the README.* files in the mailman-$VERSION

 I am looking for a means of customizing the mailman we pages. I have noticed

 My first thing that I would like to do is, if possible, to add our own CSSs

  I start?

A good place to start would be to modify a few variables in mm_cfg.py

WEB_BG_COLOR = 'white'# Page background
WEB_HEADER_COLOR = '#99ccff'  # Major section headers
WEB_SUBHEADER_COLOR = '#fff0d0'   # Minor section headers
WEB_ADMINITEM_COLOR = '#dd'   # Option field background
WEB_ADMINPW_COLOR = '#99' # Password box color
WEB_ERROR_COLOR = 'red'   # Error message foreground
WEB_LINK_COLOR = ''   # If true, forces LINK=
WEB_ALINK_COLOR = ''  # If true, forces ALINK=
WEB_VLINK_COLOR = ''  # If true, forces VLINK=
WEB_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR = '#dd'   # If true, alternating rows
  # in listinfo  admin
  # display

And then you should look in $prefix/templates

[Mailman-Users] Group id Catch-22 after list move

2003-04-05 Thread Nick Arnett
I recently moved a couple of lists to a new machine, also upgrading from a
2.1 beta to the final.  I copied the entire Mailman directory structure from
the old to the new machine, then installed 2.1.  I also switched from
Sendmail to Postfix.  Now I seem to have a Catch-22 with regard to user ids.
My old lists are running okay.  However, any new list I create has a user id
problem with Postfix -- I get the Mailman expected the mail wrapper script
to be executed as group... error when posting to a new list.  If I
re-install, using the group name it expects for the new lists, then the new
lists work, but the old ones produce that error.

I've looked at the source until my eyes cross and I can't figure out how to
fix this.  Any suggestions?

Oh, and one more annoyance.  The urls for the admin pages for the internal
Mailman list only work if Mailman in the url has an upper-case M, but it
is lower-case in all of the pages.  Can't figure out how to fix that,
either... I tried re-creating the list, but then I get the problem described
above.

Yeah, I did something bad, apparently.

[And just to make my life more interesting, some dang spammer decided to
forge listserv (at) mccmedia.com as his spam's return address, which is
aliased to mailman, so the internal list is getting swamped with bounces
that look like postings from non-members.]

Postfix should only need to access your mailman auto-generated aliases.  So
we have a userid and group dedicated for mailman (and the http server), then
just add the userid for postfix to the mailman group on your MTA.

Gr,

No, I don´t get any error message. In Internet Explorer, when I click let 
me in on the form, the globe starts to move and the progress bar also 
starts to increase. But i don´t get nothing, no 404, no error messages... 
Just a blank page and the progress bar increasing without reach the maximum 
value. I´ve also tried on other browsers and machines but the same occurs.

Note that if I type the wrong password, it goes very fast and show the 
authorization failed in red on the top of the page.

 aliases.  So

Thanks, but that's all done.  The problem is that the old lists want one
userid and group, any new lists want a different one.  I can't figure out
why Postfix gets the error in the one case, but not the other.

[Mailman-Users] List of subscribers

2003-04-05 Thread Pete Holsberg
The admin window of my list shows 272 members.

However, when I run bin/list_members, the list is only 147.

Where did the others go?

How do I sync these? There should be 272 members.

Thanks.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Good News

2003-04-05 Thread Danny moss
HI Georgeand the group,

Name here is Danny I am just starting to setup mailmain and have run 
into heaps of problems I am running redhat 8 and sendmail , I got the 
rpm package from the redhat site ..
I am glad you got it going I am not so luck so far but it is all new to 
me if you have any tips please sent them to me ..

George Cohn wrote:

After struggling for about 6 weeks, I finally got Mailman working on my
server!
I'm using RH 8 on an AMD Athlon 2 gig box with 768 megs of memory.

The box has the latest version of Apache 2.0.40-11 with 2.2.2-7 Python,
2.0.7-2 Postfix and Mailman 2.1.1.
I originally tried installing the version of MM on the rpm distribution
that came with RH 8 but could never get it to work.
I finally started reading everything I could find and downloaded the
latest versions of Python, Postfix and Mailman.
The trick at long last was a mismatch between the mail host in Postfix
(mail.example.com) and the mm-config file (example.com)  Once I
corrected the MM config, I was able to post and everything works now
including the archives.
It's been an interesting 6 weeks as I once took a unix course in the
early '90's and never used anything I learned until now.
Just thought I would let some of the newbies struggling along know that
it can be done.  Just read every readme file and try to be logical about
it.
