[Mailman-Users] list removal via web interface (mm 2.1)
Hi, With mm 2.1.4 it's possible to remove a list with a though-the-web interface (as with list creation), though the caveat: 'with automatic support depending on the MTA'. I'm using Exim 4-12.3 on a Solaris 8 Sparc box, and I've tried with 'mydomain/mailman/rmlist' (just as I use 'mydomain/mailman/create' for list creation) but I just get the message: 'Bad URL specification'. If anyone has advice about/tips on how to use the though-the-web list removal feature, if possible with Exim, I'd be appreciative.

[Mailman-Users] Hundreds of multiple e-mails/posts being sent
Hello, Please forgive me if I am overlooking a simple fix to this, but I have searched quite exhaustively for a solution to this problem. I have been using a mailman list for the last few months, as a one-way information mailing list. However, on more than 3 occasions I have experienced some individuals receiving the same post/mail up to 600 times! It doesn't appear to stop until I disable the list, and it doesn't happen to everyone - just a select handful of subscribers. If anyone has any ideas at all - I'd be grateful.

[Mailman-Users] MM 2.1: aliases
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me tips/advice about using multiple alias files or includes to manage the aliases for my mailing lists. I have MM 2.1.4 running on a Solaris 8 Sparc box with NIS (and Exim), and I have 45 mailing lists. Thus the NIS alias file has 450 new entries (10 for each mailing list) and my original idea was to use an include (such as, 'mailman: :include:/local/etc/mm-aliases') in the alias file rather than have it fill up with MM entries. But I realized that as each mailing list has its own alias this wouldn't work. I believe it is possible to have a set up with multiple alias files but am not sure how to achieve this. Thus if anyone has experience of managing MM aliases with multiple alias files (or some other way) to avoid filling the alias file up with MM entries I'd appreciate their advice. Thanks.

[Mailman-Users] Recreating lists (WAS: changing ISP servers)
Pastor Augie wrote: I have several mailman lists setup.

I recently had reason to find out how well Mailman is constructed, and how easy it is to restore it. My server was hacked (old software, shame on me) and I managed to back up my Mailman files before the plug was pulled. I decided to upgrade Mailman while I was doing it. The old one was 2.1.2 - the new installation is 2.1.4. After getting it in stalled and adding only the Mailman list, I copied in prefixmailman/lists/ and prefix/mailman/archives, restored my aliases, and all my lists worked. I realize that moving to a new server would be a bit more involved, but I was very impressed with how little I had to do to get things restored.

[Mailman-Users] To those looking for help
I've been off the list for a couple of weeks due to a server crash - when I came back I found a LOT of messages that are to vague to be answered, have nothing to do with Mailman, are answered in the FAQ, or show a lack of needed knowledge to follow an answer. So, as a public service here: This list if for Mailman and issues directly related to it. General questions about Linux, sendmail, or other non Mailman issues will probably be ignored. If you do not have a basic understanding of Linux, and are comfortable working from the command line - forget about installing Mailman. Either pay someone to install it for you, or pay for list service. This is a USERS list - it's peer help, not an official Mailman support system. No one here is paid to do this, and it's done as we have time. You may not get an answer in an hour, and posting a second time the same day reduces the odds you will get an answer. Did you check the FAQ (http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py)? A lot of common answers are there. Did you check the various README files that came with MM? Have you tried the searchable archives (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/)? Currently we have no mind readers on this list - so you will need to give important details like which version of Mailman you are running, what the OS is, MTA and so on.

What is wrong is that you have defined lists.zarb.org as a CNAME pointing to katu3.zarb.org. RFC 821, the original definition of SMTP said that ALL Email should come from the canonical name of the server, so older versions of sendmail and postfix, and possibly other MTA's automatically change the From address to show the actual hostname of the sender rather than the CNAME alias which you want. console mails comes from @zarb.org, not @katu3.zarb.org, as postfix is configured to use @mydomain.
