It's not MailMan. It's Mailman.
Configuration-wise, it's about as simple to configure as you can get.
You need to tell it what kind of mail server you're using, what
hostname and domains it's going to serve, and most everything else
can probably be taken from the built-in defaults. In many cases, all
you'll need to add or change is about five lines in mm_cfg.py:
MTA = 'Postfix'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'lists.example.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.example.com'
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/'
add_virtualhost('lists.example.com', 'lists.example.com')
It doesn't get much simpler than that.

There is no corresponding list option. You would have to modify the code to implement one. The reason it is only a site option is that this option can be used to allow unescaped HTML email to be archived and potentially exposes visitors to the site to cross-site scripting attacks and other malicious HTML and therefore it should be up to site administrators, not list owners, to allow it or not. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Administrator Notification question
Jim Park wrote: I have yet another functionality question. If I subscribe a bad email address to a list, it doesn't bounce the welcome message to the list administrator so I have no way of knowing that it wasn't a valid address. Is that the expected behavior? And can tweak any settings to change this behavior? The welcome message like all list mail is sent with envelope from (and Sender: and Errors-To:) the listname-bounces address for automated bounce processing. If you want bounces to go to the owner instead you can redirect the listname-bounces address to listname-owner in the MTA. You can also adjust bounce processing settings so the first bounce causes a disable and the owner is notified. If this is only an occasional thing, you could check Mailman's bounce log or the user's options page after subscribing a user to see if a bounce was recorded (it may take up to 15 minutes after the bounce is received for it to be recorded). -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Way 2 is to modify scripts/post to log something. At the end of the
main() function following:
inq = get_switchboard(mm_cfg.INQUEUE_DIR)
inq.enqueue(sys.stdin.read(),
listname=listname,
tolist=1, _plaintext=1)
add
print sys.stderr, _('post to %(listname)s received and queued')
This will write the 'post to %(listname)s received and queued' message
with the listname filled in to both the error and post logs for every
post. This again will tell you if the post got to the post script.

[Mailman-Users] Odd code when receive mail via mailman
I have a mailman list that is set to be a one way announcement list. I have had complaints from some people that they get this weird coded stuff when they get a message that looks something like this (I am making the actual numbers up) 03 42 32 20 53 A0 D0 23 23 50 D0 20 S0 the body of the text D9 39 20 D2 19 10 12 22 39 30 40 29 19 is written oddly over here Has anyone ever seen that. When I send the same person who is getting this odd code via the mailing list a test message directly from my own email it comes through just fine. It seems to only happen via the list, and not to all people. Thanks.

Nothing in the post log is correct. I forgot what the
LogStdErr(error, post) call in the script does. I thought the
second argument was a second log, but it's the identifying label.
The non-replacement of %(listname)s with the name is puzzling. The i18n
_() function should do this replacement. I copied the print directly
from below and it worked for me. However, you could do the
interpolation directly as in
print sys.stderr, 'post to %s received and queued' % listname
and that should work.

[Mailman-Users] Archive deletion
I've search the mailing list archives, and the question of deleting old archives comes up repeatedly with unsatisfying answers. As far as I can tell, a list owner does not have an option to delete any archives. This needs to be done at the administration level and requires access to site resources. Since I don't have site access, the archives will continue to grow forever unless I turn them off completely. But, this does not help in bringing up new lists and allowing new subscribers to catch up, all while trying to keep junk off the disk. If this is correct, who can I talk to about making an option available to kill off outdated archives? Any pointers would be appreciated.

If this is correct, who can I talk to about making an option available to kill off outdated archives? The best thing would be for you to create a patch that does what you want, then upload that to the appropriate Mailman patch page on SourceForge. Or, you could pay someone to do that. Otherwise, you can file your Request For Enhancement on the Mailman RFE page on SourceForge, and depending on the priority of other things and whatever other work is being done at the time by the Mailman developers, that RFE might or might not get resolved at some point in time in the future. But this is an open source project, and the rule with open source projects is that the quickest way to get your particular problem resolved is to come up with the proposed code and provide that to the developers. If the code is written in the appropriate style, and can be easily folded into future release engineering work, then you're basically just playing a waiting game. -- Brad Knowles [EMAIL PROTECTED] LinkedIn Profile: http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
