[Mailman-Users] web-interface password..
Hi, some of my lists ask for the password once and never ask again whenever I'm logged on, and some of them ask twice, once on logon and once when clicking on anything else ..most of them actually ask for the password twice then never ask again whenever I'm logged on .. why's that ? _ With Windows Live, you can organize, edit, and share your photos. http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/products/photo-gallery-edit.aspx -- 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

Because the host name in the URL you initially go to is not the same as the host name in the links on the page so the inital login cookie is not returned on the subsequent click because it's for a different host.

I run a bunch of lists for an organization, over 150 lists, about 80 percent public and 20 percent private. Periodically there are messages that need to go to everyone, or almost everyone. However, people belong to multiple lists so many people get duplicate copies of the same message. Is there any way to send to everyone, or sub-sets of everyone? Is it possible to subscribe everybody to an announce-only list, at the same time they subscribe to their chosen list or lists? Not sure I want that approach, but an option if possible. If I had to do this, I would do the following: 1) Create a new Mailman list - all-subscribers. 2) Make a list of all subscribers to all lists. I already have a shell script (with awk files) that produces a list every hour that contains lines: Tue Aug 4 13:00:01 CDT 2009 -- list1 us...@example.com list1 us...@example.com -- list2 us...@example.com list2 us...@example.com -- I use this file to see if a given address is subscribed to any lists. 3) Extract the e-mail addresses from that list, pipe through uniq, and save the file. You could do special processing to remove certain addresses from this file. 4) Use that file to ./sync_members -w=no -g=no -d=no -a=no -f FILENAME all-subscribers to synchronize (silently) the membership of the all-subscribers list, which contains all the members of all the lists. This was the only response I got, and appreciated. Is this the only possible approach? I am not sure I want to subscribe people to a list they didn't subscribe to, although I am considering it.

Using the above example, create the list Threesomes with no members, and in Threesomes' Non-digest options - regular_include_lists put threeblindm...@mylists.com threebe...@mylists.com threemenna...@mylists.com Then, a post to Threesomes will be sent to the regular (nondigest) members of the above three lists without duplication. Above you say this approach may not be viable for me. Is this because of the work involved in my entering and updating the list of lists in regular_include_lists , or because of something else I am not aware of.

[Mailman-Users] address problem
I'm using * Mailman 2.1.9.-4.e15.i386 * Redhat 5.3.03.i386 * sendmail 8.13.8.2.el5,i386 I'm experienced with Mailman with BSD for sometime (a couple of years) but the first time with Redhat on a completely different server. For this example/problem, my host iswall Domain is ss.uic.edu so I havewall.ss.uic.edu Sendmail is fine and emails come and go with mail sent and received from u...@wall.ss.uic.edu I've used RPM to install Mailman. I've created a list called techies with subscribers on everything from in-house to gmail. When as a subscriber I send email to tech...@wall.ss.uic.edu the mail is arrives at users inboxes as being from tech...@ss.uic.edu with wall left off. On the Mailman admin page for Techies , under General Options, I have Hostname this list prefers for email set to wall.ss.uic.edu and it still leaves off wall. I've been through mm_config.py and sendmail.cf for days and simply can't find what's wrong. I can live with it if I just want to have broadcast lists but I also need to have lists where people can reply. Any suggestions or ideas. Thank you very much. Best wishes and many thanks for your consideration.

[Mailman-Users] Configure mailman inside a VPS
Hi all... Setting up mailman/postfix inside my ubuntu 8.10 server VPS, i think i messed up all the config files trying to make it work. Now i think i've messed'em up too much... Here they are, if some of you could take a look: . /etc/apache2/sites-available/mailman.conf : http://pastebin.com/f299879f1 . /etc/postfix/main.cf : http://pastebin.com/f65f9432f . /etc/postfix/master.cf : http://pastebin.com/f56b257d7 I must say that VPS doesn't work as mailserver 'cause the mailboxes are directly managed by the web-hoster.

Yes, it would work, and the only issues are maintaining the list of regular_include_lists in the super-list(s) and the fact that a post to a super list won't reach anyone who is a digest subscriber on all the sub lists of which she is a member.
