To which I reply:

Thanks, Mark.  By the time I'd managed to get my message off, my testing 
window had closed, so I'll give this a shot at my next opportunity.

[Mailman-Users] One subscribe to multiple lists or equivalent?

[Steve McInerney]

Hi,

Trying to discover a method for having a single user subscribe to multiple
lists, once. One sole confirm message, not one per list.

Or

Am thinking that a single list with judicious use of topics may also work.
The problem then becomes one of having a front end form that allows a
selection of topics within the subscription page.


The idea being to avoid users (who are extremely non-technical) from
having to subscribe, confirm, visit this page, select these things etc.

Single form: Fill in, submit, confirm email, all done: is the desired
outcome.

Is such possible? Can anyone give some pointers on how we could do such a
thing?

We're looking at having a front end form that will capture the requests to
a text file for latter processing into various topics. As this for
announce only capability, a small delay is not too unacceptable.


Cheers!

- Steve

Yes. Edit the scripts/driver file and change

STEALTH_MODE = 1

to

STEALTH_MODE = 0

[Mailman-Users] Upgrade problem

[Steve Burling]

I just tried to upgrade our Mailman 2.1.4 install to Mailman 2.1.9.  I 
didn't get very far -- as soon as I tried to visit the listinfo page, I got 
the "sorry we've hit a bug" message:

---
Bug in Mailman version 2.1.9

We're sorry, we hit a bug!

Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of 
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but 
the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs.
---

Unfortunately, nothing was written to Mailman's log(s), or to the web 
server's error log.

bin/list_lists happily lists all the lists, so it doesn't look like I've 
got a bad list, at least superficially, so I'm somewhat at a loss as to 
what to do next.

Is there a way I can un-inhibit "printing of traceback and other system 
info"?

A little more information, in case it helps:

In our current installation, the mailman directory lives on our mail host, 
and is NFS-mounted by our web server.  Because we're getting ready to 
upgrade both mail host and web server, I made a copy of the mailman 
directory on a volume on our NAS, updated that, and then mounted that on 
the web server in place of the current directory.  That also allowed me to 
drop back and punt when I hit the error.

bin/check_perms only complained about some directories and files that the 
NAS creates, so I don't think it's a permission problem.

All hints gratefully accepted...

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailing List Configuration Files

[Aaron Todd]

Mark,

Just in cast you want to make note of this or for any future readers who 
are looking for the same thing...the location of mailman under a cPanel 
install is in

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman

After figuring that out running the config_list -o command worked 
perfect.  The only other problem I had was with the list name.  I first 
tried the name if the list without the domain name and it would not 
accept it.  I then tried it with the domain, but also with the @ 
symbol.   That wasn't accepted either.  I then tried using the 
underscore in place of the @ like it is shown in the mailman admin and 
it outputted exactly what I wanted. 

Thanks again for your help.

Aaron Todd
