[Mailman-Users] 7th Circle of Burning, Hot, Fire Filled HELL!
Someone in this world please please tell me how to get Postfix, mailman, and virtual alias maps to all work together PLEASE. This is not a Postfix issue. Postfix works fine. This is an integrating of Mailman issue. Here are my files. I'm going to sleep now. I've been at this for 12 hours not counting the six days I spent getting Postfix to work. If any of you have any mercy in your souls you will help me figure out why /etc/postfix/virtual will not release its iron-clad grip on my incoming mail and allow ~mailman/data/aliases to do its job and route my postings to their lists. The lists themselves are fine. I have integrated all of the advice that you all have given me today much of which is not in the instructions and I have followed the ReadMe as well. http://www.beathustler.com/main.cf http://www.beathustler.com/virtual http://www.beathustler.com/mm_cfg.py http://www.beathustler.com/aliases http://www.beathustler.com/virtual-mailman I don't know what made me think this would be easy but I'm in too deep to turn back now. Please help.

[Mailman-Users] everyone getting unsubscribes when doing command line
When I subscribe or unsubscribe from the command line, both the owner and the users get notified, even though the config of the list says not too. And everything works fine if I do it through the web interface. Why would this happen?

RE: [Mailman-Users] 7th Circle of Burning, Hot, Fire Filled HELL!
Evan, There are a few things you need to understand about postfix and its interaction with Mailman. The first is that postfix will not allow a script to be run from the virtual file, only from the aliases file which is looked at by the local delivery agent. Another thing to remember is that plain ID's on the right hand side of the virtual map get @$myorigin appended. In your case $myorigin=$mydomain which is beathustler.com, so the addresses in the virtual-mailman file get mapped back to beathustler.com, which is why they are going to the catch-all address. You need to add @localhost the way you did for your virtual file. Then you need to add the lists to your aliases file, mapping them to the mailman scripts using the pipe (|) syntax you were wondering about in an earlier message. I hope this helps get you on the right track. Don't forget to postmap the virtual files and postalias the aliases file.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Topics
Basically, you enable Topics for a list and then give the Topic a name, like 'Licensing Regulations' and then enter some keyword (in this example. the word 'Licensing' in the Regexp. Assuming a subscriber is subscribed to the 'Licensing' topic, you would send your message with the first line of the message being: Keywords: Licensing OR Subject: Licensing Each user can choose to receive or not receive messages that have no topic defined, but they must be subscribed to at least one topic to use this feature. Email me if you have other questions.

[Mailman-Users] follow up on adding fields to general list information page
Thanks for Mark to his answer to this, that information was a big help too, but my real question (I wasn't specific enough), is this: Can additional fields (besides name, email, I would like to add Title and Company) be added to the General List Information page of a mailing list and if so how? But here is the key: *** I don't want to just customize the look and feel of the page, I want data that the users enter into new title and company fields be entered and accessible in the Mailman database so that we can at least try to verify that people who join the list are not competitors, and are truly our customers. In other words I want to add two fields to the MM-Subscribe-Box part of the General list information page. That page already has MM-Subscribe-Box and a mm-fullname-box fields, I would like to somehow add a mm-jobtitle-box and a mm-company-box and be able to access the data that the customers enter for those field later on. I guess the easiest way to do this would be for the customers to add text on the page Please put your name, title, and company in this field) above the name mm-fullname-box, and then they would submit this data for the email and name fields: [EMAIL PROTECTED] John Doe, President, ABC Corp But my boss would prefer not doing it that way. I am sure this is probably possible modifying the python code, but I am looking for an easy way, if possible, of doing this.

[Mailman-Users] Welcome message
Hi I saw a reply to a query recently about editing the welcome message for a list. My question is twofold: I don't have access to the installation of Mailman, as it is shared. However, my host has been good at making certain files available to me on request. So... (a) Which file is the correct one and how do I go about editing the file? Is it Python, a particular component of Python, or a text application, and how do I go about saving it back again into the correct format? (I have never used Python yet, so please be explicit and easy-to-follow)! (b) Are there any other admin-editable notification emails which can be done in the same way?

[Mailman-Users] 2nd Try: PGP, mmreencrypt and DEFAULT_FILTER_PROGRAM
Anyone? -- Forwarded message -- From: Anthony Grieco [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2004 07:52:19 -0500 Subject: PGP, mmreencrypt and DEFAULT_FILTER_PROGRAM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I have been searching for a MLM that is PGP enabled (ie send mails using list pub key, and re-encrypt out to members via their public keys). Mailman seemed to have what I wanted with mmreencrypt. I now have mailman up and working with Qmail and went to do the mmreencrypt integration and found that the requirement of DEFAULT_FILTER_PROGRAM seems to be now gone (and been replaced by the built in mime filters?). Is mmreencrypt still the way to go- or are there others addons? (or other MLMs that might handle this better/natively)? Has anyone gotten mmreencrypt working with a recent version of Mailman? thanks anthony -- 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/

Is it Python, a particular component of Python, or a text application, and how do I go about saving it back again into the correct format? (I have never used Python yet, so please be explicit and easy-to-follow)! The welcome message is subscribeack.txt (more later on where it is). (b) Are there any other admin-editable notification emails which can be done in the same way? The subscribeack.txt file is one of several .txt and .html templates that can be edited on a per list, per virtual domain or sitewide basis. See http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq04.048.htp for information on where to put edited templates to effect this. The .txt files are templates for e-mail messages and are simple plain text files except they contain things such as %(listinfo_url)s which will be replaced by the value of the named attribute as they are used. The .html files are templates for web pages and are ordinary HTML except they contain tags of the form MM-* (for example MM-List-Name) which are replaced by defined substitutions as they are used. You really have to look at the Python module Mailman/HTMLFormatter.py and other modules listinfo.py, options.py, roster.py and subscribe.py in the Cgi/ directory to see what the various MM-* tag replacements are, but you can get some idea by just comparing the generated HTML with the template. To see what templates are available, look in the templates/xx/ directory where xx is the language. Since you don't have direct access to your Mailman installation server, you have two choices - download the Mailman tarball from SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103package_id=69562release_id=238606 and extract it or use the CVS browser at SourceForge to download individual files. E.g. go to http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mailman/mailman/templates/en/ for the English language templates. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

You could just add the HTML for the fields directly to the edited template. But either way, what next? You have to modify the processing of the form to accept and validate these fields and store these values in newly defined attributes in the member database (stock database is included with list configuration in the list's config.pck pickle). You'd also have to deal with collecting the data in these fields via other subscription methods such as e-mail. It looks to me like changes to several pieces of Mailman would be involved.
