[Mailman-Users] Hide list address?
Hi, Is there any way to configure Mailman such that, for an announcement-only type list, when a message is sent to the list, the To: shows the member's address, rather than the list address? Some list software allows the ability to hide the list address itself, so that address is not advertised. I couldn't find any configuration specific to that. -- 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

$ grep -rl "Edit the public HTML pages" ~mailman/
/var/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.pyc
/var/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py
Edit the .py file (it might be in a different location depending on what you
set $prefix to when installing, the default is /usr/local/mailman, IIRC).
Remove or comment out these lines:
otherlinks.AddItem(Link(mlist.GetScriptURL('edithtml'),
_('Edit the public HTML pages')))
That will get rid of the link. If you don't want any admins to be able to
be able to edit the pages even if they know the URL, then you should remove
~mailman/cgi-bin/edithtml.

Re: [Mailman-Users] how to disable html editing?
To answer my own question...
You need to hack the Mailman/Cgi/admin.py file, comment out the following:
otherlinks.AddItem(Link(mlist.GetScriptURL('edithtml'),
'Edit the HTML for the public list pages'))
Also remove the mailman/cgi-bin/edithtml binary (or rename it to keep it
but disable it).
Best wishes,
Rae

[Mailman-Users] moving large archive
Hello, I'm transferring lists from one server to another. A couple lists have extremely large archives and while running the bin/arch command it faults with a memory error (see below). Additionally, the same thing happens when I run it with the unlimit command. I've even increased the size of the server disk space. Same result. Does anyone know how I can solve this?

I think there should be a c option in addition to the -d for the bzip2 command if it's piping the output directly to patch, but that's just a guess since I don't know what the spec file is actually doing. You might want to try a newer RPM from whatever vendor you're trying to build this on. And while you're at it, I'd spend the time to build Mailman 2.1.2 instead of the rather old 2.0.13. There are many useful improvements in 2.1.2. If there isn't an RPM for your platform (that builds cleanly), it's really straightforward to build Mailman from tarballs. Plus, you can then be more sure that you've done everything required to make it work with your setup instead of hoping that the RPM packager did it right. - -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xD654075A | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp Stop tolerating in your leaders what you would not tolerate in your friends. -- Michael Ventura -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: When crypto is outlawed bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl. iD8DBQE/c2druv+09NZUB1oRAnHiAJ9rit/XAcFasL+1fMuRma8xA4/QjgCfacPb W33elQnWb1/17eQgHwCkKJo= =dD+K -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- 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

Re: [Mailman-Users] monster created! untangling many lists with many subscribers?
We're running mailing lists for one school within a university. The school has several hundred subscribers (personnel) split amongst faculty, staff and students, a number of different institutes and programs, all spread over 6 different geographic locations. There are members of each institute at each location. There are members of each program at each location, and within each institute. Each location, institute and program has faculty, staff, and students. We have been asked to create a list for essentially every different permutation; all faculty, all faculty at location A, all faculty at location A in program B, all faculty at location A in institute B and program C, all staff ... you get the point. We keep several hundred lists up to date by sourcing the membership of each list from our school database. There's enough info in the database to figure out, for example - a list of students taking each module - a list of staff responsible for each module - a list of staff in each location - a list of staff on each grade and so on and so on. In other words - we can create and keep up to date dozens of lists that no-one will ever use :-) We then use CVS to send updates from the database in the form of files to the mailman server, and use the "sync_members" command to update the membership every night thus: #!/bin/sh # #Update mailman list memberships from flat files # PATH= export PATH export elistdir=/elists export elistdir for i in `ls $elistdir `; do echo $i /bin/sync_members -w=no -a=no -f $elistdir/$i $i done It's a bit clunky but it works fine. The main problem is - moderating the dratted lists. You seriously don't want to have to do that yourself. Not even to start with! My advice is to give each group of lists a list-owner and send mail for that list-owner to a shared mailbox and let local admin staff get on with the moderation duties. cheers!
