[Mailman-Users] Mailman and SME
I've been attempting to install Mailman on a SME server that I created yesterday but am failing miserably. For instance, I cannot create a group AND user using "mailman" as per the documentation. I also cannot expand the mailman file. Is there any documentation on using Mailman on SME, or is a different flavor of Linux recommended? Any and all help would be appreciated. I've worked with SME for several years now, but appear to be out in left field on this one.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Email address with trailing space
Sorry for the antique thread bump here, but it was the top hit for my "mailman address trailing space" search, so I thought I'd contribute. - Re: [Mailman-Users] Email address with trailing space Wed, 10 Jan 2007 10:38:22 -0800 Trader Joe wrote: >While doing "mass subscription", I accidently put in >an extra space at the end of several email addresses >and now I'm unable to unsubscribe or remove these >email via Web tools. Anyone know how to remove these? - I had the same issue -- version 2.1.9 under Fedora Core 9. The email address had a trailing space, and attempts to delete it via the web interface resulted in nothing more than a page refresh, with the address still subscribed; the remove_members script reported "No such member" whether I passed it the address with a space, an escaped space, or no space. A later reply included a now-dead link to part of the FAQ. I looked at the archived version here: http://web.archive.org/web/20070221134632/http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.013.htp But those suggestions didn't work in my case. So I grepped the list_members output for just the "correct" part of my bad email address, and lo and behold, the problematic address looked like this: user.n...@domain.com\ That's the entity code for a non-breaking space, which I imagine ended up in MM from a copy-paste from rich email. Leveraging another suggestion in this old thread, I was able to remove it but had to escape the ampersand: ./remove_members mylistname user.n...@domain.com\ In case this is helpful to anyone else.

[Mailman-Users] re-set Digest volume numbering
I have searched the archives and seen the question posted frequently, but never answered. Is there a way to re-set digest numbering in Mailman? Thanks.

[Mailman-Users] initial hostname
Hi, I have a box named "phenom" on which I created a mailing list, beeeing root, via "newlist". A while after that, I changed the hostname of the box to the current one:"lab.vectoris.fr" and changed the malman config too. But now, when I look into the MTA/SMTP logs (Exim of my ISP, as smarthost), I see that an email is sent as r...@phenom and is unrouteable by the MTA (obvious, he doesnt know about "phenom"). What should I hack into Mailman to get rid of that "@phenom" sending? -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 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://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9

How about forward the mails discarded/rejected to admins option, and thence using procmail/exim sieve/whatever to handle those mails to a new mbox/mdir/$boss. (for good measure, i'd let spamassassin's reject bin end up there too, until i had time to "fix the bug") Absolutely futile exercise, in my view, though. -- ``Actually, he's a libertarian, which, as near as I can tell, is just a Republican who doesn't believe in God.''

I have been asked if we can retain the email's that are discarded due to not having perms to send to the list be moved to another list for archiving purposes. Uh... I don't know of any mechanism in Mailman, or SMTP for that matter, that will provide what you are wanting. The closest that I can think of is using something like a Procmail recipe that will attempt to deliver a message in to Mailman and then attempt to deliver the message to your ""archive if it fails to deliver the message to Mailman. I can't think of any thing else that will attempt to deliver to one location and then fall back to another if the first fails. Well, having multiple MX records will do this, but the problem is the first will accept the message and then fail, rather than failing the SMTP delivery period. I suppose someone could wright an SMTP interface in to Mailman, but that is way more trouble than Procmail.
