[Mailman-Users] Successful Panther (MacOS X 10.3) installation
steps for Mailman From: demo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Hi Good post on Mailman for Panther. Truth be, I am *so* unimpressed with Apple on their handling of this. May be it is just a European support issue but they have not one single clue about how it runs or what happens when it does not - except to sell you their no guaranty paid for support! I really get sick of Apple when they make a hullabaloo about woo-woo Open Source software and then ditch their clients with no support for it afterwards. Zilch in the kbase last time I looked. You know, for a few dollars more, they could have made this a truly Apple experience, the trouble seems to be what with the NeXT guys on one side and the marketing accountants on the other there is little Apple left! [ ... and all I am talking about is making pretty and easily customisable ]. I was / am fighting with a Server based version.

[Mailman-Users] Messages stuck in qfiles
I'm experiencing some odd behavior with Mailman. All was working fine or so I thought. I maintain 180 lists and 1000 subscribers. The system: SuSE Linux Standard Server 8 Sendmail 8.12.6-159 Mailman 2.0.14-18 (yes, I know it's old, it's what SuSE likes) The symptoms: Sendmail passes incoming messages off to the Mailman wrapper, which does nothing with them. They are piling up (.msg and .db files) in the ~mailman/qfiles dir. There are about three days worth in there. Anybody know what is up? The qrunner cronjob seems to be running normally, I can't remember making any changes that would have affected mailman operations around 3 days ago. Alternately, is there a way I can flush these messages out manually so they don't back up too far? Thanks /*** .--.

[Mailman-Users] Creating an alternate UI to mailman
Hi, I am trying to create a different UI to the mailman interface that meshes better with the current theme of our site. I had planned on just creating a few php pages that access the various mailman binaries, mainly just to offer a different interface to the subscription page, ie. allow users to sign up for multiple mailing lists at once. I found the subscribe binary, which works fine and even sends a welcome message out after subscribing a user. However, it does not send out a confirmation email, which is quite esscential. Has anyone found a way around this?

[Mailman-Users] No Archives

The lists are all working fine, except no new messages are being added to the archives. They just end at the date on which I moved the lists. Now, if I run the bin/arch command on a list, it does update the archives to the current date. However the archives remain stuck at that date until I go and manually run that command again.

As Brad pointed out, you can't enable/disable each of the configuration options on a one-by-one basis. You can eliminate entire 'categories' from appearing in the administrative interface by copying the ADMIN_CATEGORIES list from Defaults.py into your mm_cfg.py and deleting the categories that you don't want your list administrators to see. That's an easy way to get rid of the MailNews Gateway page for example if it is not relevant to your installation.
