[Mailman-Users] How to enable printing aliases info to the screen
Hello All, I've installed mailman-2.1.4-83.13 on SLES 9 machine. Now I want to write some script to implement list creation and web-cyradm installation. Tried to create file with the aliase info like this: ./newlist -q $mmlistname $admin $password /tmp/new-mailman-list but it is empty. Tried to make it this way #./newlist mailman [EMAIL PROTECTED] qwerty but the aliases info won't print out on the screen. I know that this info goes to /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases, but How to enable printing aliases info to the screen on creating a new list?

The problem is that when messages come into the mailing list in MIME format, it is not possible to put multiple messages together into a digest with all their various MIME bodyparts. The non-text MIME bodyparts have to be scrubbed and placed in a particular directory on the webserver, and the Scrubber will normally include an URL pointing to their location so that people can retrieve those parts with their web browser. Short of eliminating all non-text MIME bodyparts from the entire mailing list (including the digests), it is not possible to eliminate this scrubbing activity for digests. It is possible to configure the Scrubber so that it does the same thing for regular mailing list recipients as it does for digest recipients, if that behaviour is preferred. -- Brad Knowles, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman digest headers
I'd like to have a less verbose and more appropriate masthead on digest messages for an announcement list. The limited ability to do this in Mailman was explained in an earlier message: Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Moving Today's Topics to top of Digest? From: Mark Sapiro Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2005 This subscribe and unsubscribe information is built from the masthead.txt template which can be edited to shorten it (see http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq04.048.htp), but the order - masthead.txt template, digest header if any, table of contents - is fixed in Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py I wish the contents of masthead.txt (or similar) were the default in the digest header so it could be edited. Footers have default text, why not the digest_header ? Then if masthead.txt were eliminated, the default would result in digests looking the same. Is it possible to do this on a given installation now? Is there a way to change the default contents (at a given installation) of a string option like digest_header ? If so, this change plus deleting the contents of masthead.txt would result in what I'd like to see. One of the parts of the masthead.txt (see example below) that is inappropriate for announcement lists is submissions and reply portions. Ideally the defaults for the header would be conditional depending on whether a list were an announcement list. BTW the it would be nice if the Info page text related to post used a similar conditional. Example of Mailman digest masthead Send Mn-prog-events2 mailing list submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.cohousing.org/mailman/listinfo/mn-prog-events2 or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of Mn-prog-events2 digest...

It's a fully moderated list, and when the Admin approves several messages from the moderated queue, they get sent out fine to the immediate-deliver users, but only the first one will show up in the archives or go out in the digest. All the other lists appear to be working without problems, just the one list looses messages. I've been pounding my head against the table on this one for a while.
