Depends on how Majordomo stores the archived messages. If you can
convert them to a mailbox, just store that in the right archive
directory [1] and rebuild the archive [2].

-thh

[1] $MAILMAN/archives/private/$LISTNAME.mbox/$LISTNAME.mbox
[2] run $MAILMAN/bin/arch $LISTNAME (or run it with the --wipe option)

Re: [Mailman-Users] Announce Only

[Paul Reilly]

You can remove the file masthead.txt in the /templates/ folder.
That removes the text from the top of each message.

How did you close the list to posts?
This seems may more complicated than it needs to be.
I have to turn everyones moderation bit on, under membership
management. Surely there should be a simple "open" "closed"
radio check button under Sender Filters.

Also how do you turn off the "Create new List" via webpage ?
You can't as far as I can see. Mailman is suffering from feature
bloat, and is no longer suitable to many deployments.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman + Postfix

[David Relson]

Greetings,

I'm new to mailman and am having trouble getting it up and running (with
postfix).  I've configured them as best I can, but something's not
right :-<

My mail server has two static addresses -- for my primary domain (called
primary.com below) and the secondary domain (called secondary.org
below).  

A message to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is rejected:

<"|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe test"@mail.primary.com>:
unknown user: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe test"

/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases contains:

test-subscribe:   "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe test"

Evidently postfix is using this alias as the userid, rather than piping
the message to mailman.  How do I fix this?

TIA,

David

[Mailman-Users] postfix+mailman, part 2

[David Relson]

I found part of my problem.  In /etc/postfix/main.cf was

virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual,
   hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases,
   hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman

The "aliases" line equates "test-subscribe" with "|...test subscribe"
and generated the pecular userid in the "user unknown" message. 

Removing the aliases reference and leaving "virtual-mailman" gives:

  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: unknown user:
"test-subscribe"

which is much more reasonable.  However my subscribe message still
hasn't gotten to mailman.

What am I missing??

Thanks.

David

[Mailman-Users] Mail being directed to mailman list

[Tom Maddox]

Hi,

I have suddenly encountered an odd (and annoying) problem with Mailman
2.1.4.  One of my lists was blocking earlier today, so I deleted the
stale lock files for that list.  Mail started going through then
stopped, so I stopped Mailman, deleted the new lock files, and restarted
Mailman.  Since then, mail has been going through to that list just
fine, but random messages to any list are now being redirected to the
"mailman" list.  The problem appears to be sporadic and accompanied by
the following sort of error in the Mailman error log:

Apr 14 16:20:14 2004 (89720) lost data files for filebase:
1081984813.297307+e2b0d0d672fe61ea9902dacae0b88d950daf0f05

The regular maillog file does not show any posts to the mailman list,
nor do the Mailman logs, so it's not clear to me what's going on.  None
of the headers of the affected emails show anything unusual either.

I'm pretty sure that I broke something when I deleted the lock files
without shutting down Mailman.  What did I break, and how do I fix it?

TIA,

Tom

 Several options, depending on what you want:

On http://yoursite.tld/mailman/admin//general you will find 
"Emergency moderation of all list traffic" which will moderate EVERYONE.

On http://yoursite.tld/mailman/admin//members at the bottom of 
the page you will find "Set everyone's moderation bit, including those 
members not currently visible".  Set to On and click set.  Then unmoderated 
anyone you want mail to be accepted from.

On http://yoursite.tldmailman/admin//privacy/sender you will find 
"By default, should new list member postings be moderated? "

Also how do you turn off the "Create new List" via webpage ?
 Given that it requires the list admin password, why would you need to 
turn it off?  If it really bothers you hack the code to kill it.

Mailman is suffering from feature bloat, and is no longer suitable to many 
deployments.
 Funny, last week a there were complaints that Mailman lacked 
important features.

[Mailman-Users] Changing digest Subject: line?

[Paul M. Moriarty]

Hi,

I'm in the process of converting over from mj1 to mm2 for my long-running
(11+ yrs) lists.  

If possible, I'd like to change the Subject: line in outgoing digests.  I've
searched the archives and see that the question has been asked before, but
do not see an answer.

Any advise or pointers would be much appreciated.

[Mailman-Users] Changing digest Issue #

[Paul M. Moriarty]

Hi,

I'm in the process of converting over from mj1 to mm2 for my long-running
(11+ yrs) lists.  I am hopeful this is my last question for a while. :)

My digests change volume number on an annual basis, but the issue number
changes with each digest.  I'd like to know if there is some way to start my
new mm digests with the current issue number (currently in the hundreds for 
both lists).  It looks like I can manually create enough digests to
increment the number to where I want it, but this seems a very tedious
process

I've searched the archives and see that this has been asked once before, but
not answered.

I know how to change the digest number, I'm looking for an easy way to
change the issue number.

Thanks in advance!

[Mailman-Users] List-Admin

[richard]

Hi All!

I'm new to this list. I have created a couple test lists and find the 
list-admin address seems to be a black hole. In other words, if my list 
is called 'testlist', mail sent to the address testlist-admin does not 
seem to go anywhere. The address testlist-owner works fine, but the 
admin address mail seems to be lost. I guess it should be delivered to 
myself just as the testlist-owner does.

Could someone clarify this for me?

Thanks,

Richard

The list admin is the email address that is entered under General Options, the second

"The list administrator email addresses. Multiple administrator addresses, each on

Re: [Mailman-Users] List-Admin

[richard]

Hi Lloyd,

Thanks for your reply. I have one more question regarding your answer. 
I see the second item in the General Options, is, as you said, list 
administrators. Also the link for that section says 'Details of owner'. 
I take it that list admin and list owner are actually the same 
address(es). Is this correct?

Thanks very much for your help.

Richard

[Mailman-Users] changes to mailman/var/lists/list/en/custom.html not taking

[Thomas M. Parris]

Dear mailman'ers

Great product.

I've run into a minor snafu that I'm hoping someone can help me out with.
I've been working on customizing the public html pages for one of my lists.
I've succesfully changed the html for the "general list infomraiton page"
and the "subscribe results page."  I've also changed the html for the "user
specific options page."  However, when I load this page, I still see the
"out of the box" code.

I've looked in mailman/var/lists//en and found the listinfo.html,
options.html, and subscribe.html templates.  These templates all reflect my
changes through the list managers interface.

Any pointers to what I've done wrong, or needs additional attention would be
greatly appreciated.

There is also an extremely detailed account of how to do this under
Mailman on the FAQ. Which had the OP read, he would have needed to
post frequently answered questions to this mailing list.

Mailman is not suffering from 'feature bloat', if you don't like it -
*use* *something* *else*. It's called choice. Go away and exercise it.
The tone of your message is rude and unnecessary in the extreme. Did you
even think about expressing your 'opinions' on the MLM3 mailing list?
Obviously not!

I run an announcements only list and find Mailman to be a breath of fresh
air to use. If you don't, find another MLM to use, or code your own, and
stop flaming Mailman.

Oh, and typically it's best to quote the relevant bits of text from the
post you are replying to with a character such as >, |, etc. it makes it
easier for everyone else to read.

[Mailman-Users] A record problem?

Here's output from dig sanchiro.com:

I believe this shows that an A Record is not set up correctly for me. Is 
this something I am to do on my system? or is this something my ISP sets 
up on their hardware to point to my machine?

There is. General options, "emergency moderation of all list traffic".
BTW, you can also set all members to "moderated" with one click - as
you like.

Why should one want to do it?

Wow.  Is there some reason you can't simply delete messages that you don't
like?  Piling more rudeness on certainly doesn't help *anyone*.  You talk
about choice but obviously you don't think people can have any choice in
their own opinions.

You love Mailman, so do I, how about not chasing away current or potential
users?  Share what you can, delete the rest.

IMHO, YMMV, HTH, HAND.

 listname-admin is not defined.  If you have reason to use it you 
could add it to the aliases.  If you are looking for the admin(s) of the

Re: [Mailman-Users] postfix+mailman, part 2

[Yogesh Subhash Talekar]

okie .. i think you should:

Add the line /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases to alias_maps and *remove* it
from virtual_alias_maps.

Just make sure that you run:
/usr/bin/postmap on var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman
And
/usr/sbin/postaliases on /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases

The problem is the user "test-subscribe" should be resolvable locally

[Mailman-Users] Arppove from command line

[Yogesh Subhash Talekar]

Hi,

I don't want to use my Mailman's web base admin interface.

1. There are few messages waiting for approval. How do i approve them from
command line??

2. How do I stop moderation for a particular list? I don't want the
messages to wait till approval. Also, I want only members to have
permission to post.

[Mailman-Users] Duplicate Messages

[Bob Bowers]

I use mailman from my web hosting service. I have several mail lists. One 
consistently sends two messages to every user. Does anyone have a clue what 
would cause this?

[Mailman-Users] Simple 'HOWTO' for usenet news <-> mailman gateway

[peter]

I asked about this a week or so ago and the answer was that I couldn't do
much as the config files were in secure parts of linux and I only have
cpanel access to a hosted system.

However the good news is I have a friendly support team hosting the system
and they have said that they are happy to set it all up for me if they
have the right config information! This is excellent news, but I haven't
got a system to test it on at the moment and I haven't set this up myself
before. I've had a look and can only find that there is a cron job that
needs to run to pick up the news and send it to the list and that's about
it.

Is there a simple HOWTO anywhere that describes what I need to tell the
support person? Ideally I would like to set it up so that:

- There is a log file somewhere like /tmp that I can access to see what
problems there are in connection, downloads or other parts of the
connection.
- have a line entry for cron that will run the right script to set up the
connection.

As far as I know, all I need to connect to the news server is to have the
following entries in the right place:

Server: news.abc.def
Port: 119
Check Frequency: 10 minutes
SSL: No
Authentication: No
Name: Listname
EMail Address: List address (or address the news server is happy with)

What do I need to tell my support person given the above?

Ok thanks. I wasn't sure since both listname-admin and listname-owner 
are among the aliases mailman generates when creating a new list--
except, you must be right, mail to listname-admin just disappears. I 
think I'll just alias it to listname-owner. It appears that will do no 
harm.

Thanks to you Paul and Lloyd who replied to my first question. I like 
mailman a lot! It's great having this very active list.

Regards,

Richard
