It is easy to configure, compile and install multiple Mailman instances, one for each domain. In the current context of disk sizes, CPU and memory, the extra resource usage is insignficiant. I run the following script (edit for each domain desired, or create a script with substitutions) in the Mailman source directory, then make, and make install. ./configure --with-mail-gid=65533 --with-cgi-gid=www --with-mailhost=DomainName.ca --with-urlhost=www.DomainName.ca --prefix=/usr/local/mailman/DomainName --with-var-prefix=/var/mailman/Domainname (script may vary depending on your specific situation) Running multiple instances is only very slightly more work when the infrequent upgrade is required.

[Mailman-Users] Messages are not delivered?
Dear friends, I have made a mailing list by Mailman. I tested that by subscribing 3 emails and sent email to the list. All the emails delivered. After I subscribed about 20,000 people to list, I tried again to send another post. The post is not delivered to none of my colleagues emails!! and I guess it must not be delivered no where else.

[Mailman-Users] Newsgroup interface and registration
Our usenet newsgroup 'annexcafe' have started requiring registration, to prevent spamming of the newsgroup. However since they did this the interface with out mailman list has stopped working both ways. Emails no longer get posted to the newsgroup and newsgroup postings no longer get sent out as emails. The newsgroup now requires users to log in with their username and password, but there is no option to put login details into mailman that I can find. We have mailman v 2.1.8 Has any had this problem and got round it? Or anyone know of newsgroup providers that don't require login?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Administrivia Checks

I am converting most of our Majordomo lists to Mailman. After I

Actually, none of the above are valid Mailman email commands. Commands
are sent to listname-request, so listname is never part of the

who password
who password address=address
are valid commands with 1 and 2 arguments. This was changed in 2002
when the individual command modules were added. Prior to this, the
only valid command was

I suspect it was an oversight to not update the Utils.ADMINDATA
dictionary at that time, but I don't know. The following may have had
something to do with it, but I think on balance, catching

as administrivia is the right thing to do. I'm going to change it.
Is it because the revised code would catch this (and similar) lines:

[Mailman-Users] Passing the list name to the cgi scripts, called with backticks in Perl
Hello, In order to utilize my site's dynamic header, footer, banner ad programs, etc., I am generating the mailman HTML enveloping content with a Perl script, and calling mailman's cgi scripts, as appropriate, using a shell command. Example below: $listinfo_output = `/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo`; Note backticks to invoke this script from the shell in my Perl script. This successfully loads the variable $listinfo_output with the output from the mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo command, from there I can print or extract content from the HTML as useful. My problem is, to get any list-specific output from the mailman/cgi-bin/* scripts, I need to be able to pass the listname to the script - and I can't figure out how to do this with the shell command. If I follow the standard syntax from the web (e.g. `/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/somelist`) the shell looks for a non-existent program in the non-existent listinfo directory (listinfo is, of course, a script). Using the scheme outlined above, how can I pass the listname to the various cgi-bin scripts from mailman to capture their list-specific output for customized pages? I do realize there are templates for customizing the HTML, but these are not useful for server side include files and scripts, on which my site depends heavily.

You need to do what your web server does. Namely, in the above example, it sets PATH_INFO='/somelist' in the environment it passes to the CGI. In general, an HTTP GET for a URL like http://example.com/mailman/wrapper/more/stuff?query will result in the web server setting PATH_INFO='/more/stuff' QUERY_STRING='query' (and a bunch of other stuff, most of which we don't look at) in the environment it passes to the wrapper. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Unsubscribe code
Ooh, here's an embarrassment: I edited the user info page to be more like the rest of my web site (and to remove things that I didn't want the user to be able to do). Unfortunately, as I macheted the HTML, I apparently hacked away the form/text that deals with Unsubscribing. So I can no longer put my polite addendum in my mailings that instructs the recipient to visit that web page to unsubscribe, should they desire to do so. Now obviously, no one will desire to do so (J), but I should be gentleman enough to offer it. Can someone send me the code that would normally display that options?

I have a large 1.2 GB mbox file which i need to archive, the messages in mbox typically have jpeg image attachments whose approximate image sizes is 4 KB. 4KB JPEGs? That's pretty small for a JPEG. You have over 300,000 of these messages per mailbox file? when i run arch script in /usr/lib/mailman/bin/ on my ubuntu 7.04 I get the following error *File /usr/lib/python2.5/os.py, line 172, in makedirs mkdir(name, mode) OSError: [Errno 31] Too many links: That sounds like a directory problem, and not a file problem. With as large a mailbox file as you're talking about, and as many messages as you're talking about, you probably need to break your archives more frequently than once a month. Try breaking them weekly instead. Alternatively, try changing your underlying filesystem to one that supports large numbers of files in a single directory, and preferably does so with an internal hashed directory/inode structure (e.g., XFS). Also keep in mind that you'll want to make sure that your OS is built to support large files (files over 2GB). Many Linux distributions are not built out-of-the-box to support large files. Finally, the version of Python that is recommended for use with the latest release version of Mailman, is Python 2.4.x for Mailman 2.1.9, for whatever the most recent version of Python 2.4.x (currently 2.4.3, I believe). More recent versions of Python may or may not work with Mailman 2.1.9, and almost certainly will not work correctly with earlier versions of Mailman. *My basic objective is to archive 250GB of mails every month for two years .

It has to be a cookie issue. When you enter a valid password, the authentication page sets a session cookie with authentication data. This cookie is for the domain of the authentication page and has a name which is listname+context. E.g., for login with the admin password for mylist, the name of the cookie is mylist+admin.

The issue pretty much has to be that the cookie isn't getting to the browser because it is blocked on the way, the browser isn't accepting it, the browser isn't returning it because it's not for the right domain, or it is being blocked on the way back to the web server.
