[Mailman-Users] Nested lists
I have a list whose members are made up entirely of other lists. I can't seem to make it so that I can post to this nested list, without then having to give permission for those messages to then go to the subscribed lists. I have tried making those lists one where anyone can mail to them, tried making the nested list the only on e who can mail to those lists, but to no avail. Can anyone help?

You have very long TTL (Time To Live) on your DNS records so the CNAME is still cached on many servers around the Internet, probably including your own. You will have to wait until the CNAME's TTL expires before you can know for sure if my solution works or not. Even if I reload the DNS to reflect the change, and if mailman runs on the same host ? I didn't thought of this. I guess a full DNS stop/start will make sure the cache is flushed in this case.

[Mailman-Users] UPDATE - Hundreds of multiple e-mails/posts being sent
Hi all, Further to my post yesterday (below), I'd like to clarify a few things that have been pointed out by some people. The below occurs only when I send out a post/e-mail to my list, as it is a one-way list, our subscribers do not post at all. Mailman seems to continue to send the same post to certain individuals over and over again (at the rate of about 20 per minute) until I disable the list. As you can imagine, it's terribly embarrassing for us and upsetting for our subscribers. Has anyone experienced/heard of this problem? Many thanks, Jay Yesterday's post: 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] Re: Why it shows listname-bounces instead of listname-admin?
In Mailman 2.1.x, list email is sent out from Mailman with a special address listname-bounces. Any mail returned to listname-bounces comes from poorly designed Mail Servers or Mail Processors that do not follow the RFC's; they are bounces though. Mailman 2.0.x expected Mail Servers to follow the RFC's and wrote exception handlers for those that did not. The list of exception handlers for Microsoft alone was huge (something in the range of 30 different ways of bouncing a message). The new method allows Mailman to handle bounces whether a Mail Server is setup properly or not. I agree that having the mail sent form Something-bounces is not ideal. Feel free to suggest a name change for that alias. HtH - Jon Carnes On Wed, 2004-03-10 at 00:20, Faruk Ahmed wrote: Dear Jon, I am using Mailman version: 2.1.2. It works without no problem.

Many thanks, Jay __ I've seen this a few times before. In most cases it was caused by a lack of resources: - Drive space too full - Not enough RAM in the server (or alloted to the virtual host) I've also seen it caused by certain email addresses with non-standard Ascii characters in earlier versions of Mailman. You need to look at your resources while the list is running and also make sure you are running the latest version of your Mailman branch (2.0.14 and 2.1.4).

Note: that's one huge wrapped line at the top containing all the mailman

Also of note, right after the logrotate I kick off my monthly reporting
scripts which email the list admins with their monthly usage stats.

I really should drink my coffee before answering these. I've written some stuff that does this for Pipermail. It's not as easy as you think. The hardest part is editing the mbox file that is used for archive storing and for rebuilding the archives. You've got to pull the old mail out of the mbox, while keeping the current mail. If you can get that part done, then the rest follows nicely. You can use a trigger email that is sent to the archives monthly (mine's cleverly disguised as a monthly mailing list policy reminder). If you use that as your anchor within the mbox file, then cutting the file is fairly trivial.

Re: [Mailman-Users] archive rotation
Hey Jon, all Doh! I really should drink my coffee before answering these. Understand completely. I've written some stuff that does this for Pipermail. It's not as easy as you think. I looked at the instructions for removing items in the FAQ over lunch; no kidding. You can use a trigger email that is sent to the archives monthly (mine's cleverly disguised as a monthly mailing list policy reminder). If you use that as your anchor within the mbox file, then cutting the file is fairly trivial. Oh, good idea. I think that will make it more manageable.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Importing archives
Rakshika Bhana wrote: Hi We have recently migrated some of our lists from Lyris to Mailman but are experiencing problems with importing archives. We have managed to export the archives but when the archives are imported they appear without any visible thread. The archives of new lists that have been created on Mailman appear fine. Is there something that we're overlooking? Try replacing the CRLF's in the archive file to CR's. There really ought to be an Export to Windows or Unix/Linux file? option in the exp-arc.pl script, where the script would generate CRLF's only if you choose Windows. Another thing about threading: Lyris does not maintain In-Reply-To: and References: headers properly. You can't establish anything more than a two-level thread (original message and replies to that message). At least not in Lyris ListManager 5.0 or earlier. This has been my one major stink with Lyris. - Kevin -- 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/
[Mailman-Users] Mailman On QVCS 9 Redhat 9
Hi there, I've scanned the archives, have any of you installed Mailman on QVCS? QVCS is qmail-based, uses vmailmgr, courier-imap and squirrelmail: http://mirror.mricon.com/qvcs-guide/qvcs-guide.html I have read the README.LINUX and README.QMAIL files, and would like to know if anyone out there has successfully set this up before in a production environment. My boss is WAY INTO MAILMAN, so drop me a line if you have recommdations. We are an open-source shop trying to answer as many case studies in real time as possible, binding this to QVCS might be nettlesome?... -karlski -- 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/
[Mailman-Users] Admin problems
Hi! Another newbie here trying to use Mailman.. I've installed Mailman 2.1.4 from source on Mandrake Linux 9.2. My MTA is Postfix (with one virtual domain). After having created the initial list 'mailman' per INSTALL document, I keep getting the message 'No such list mailman' on the ../admin/mailman web page. I cannot proceed with the next instruction in the INSTALL document to add myself to the list. When I use the command line utils, the list is there and I'm the owner. Why doesn't it show up in the webpage? Maybe related, I don't know, but I have never been able to create a new list via the web page. Whatever password I use (I've set one with the mmsitepass module) I always are not authorized to create a new list. Can somebody shed some light on the problem? Thanks!

[Mailman-Users] Setting up archive
I suspect I'm blind in one eye and can't see out the other, so here goes my question. how do I set up the archiving feature??? Right now when I click view the archive, I get sent to http://server.dns4us.net/. I suspect this is so obvious I just can't see how to do it. Thank you in advance for your kind assistance.
