Re: [Mailman-Users] Lists disappearing after 2.1.17 upgrade

[Sarasvati]

Mark,

Thank you so much! That particular FAQ helped,
and now I can see my lists again! :-) Yes, they were appearing
in the list info, and all were set public. I have only a single
domain, so I set 
VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off in mm_cfg.py
and that did it.

Thanks again!

Re: [Mailman-Users] Delivery error to virtual list

In other words, you don't need to change anything in Exim for virtual
domains with a single Mailman instance, but you do need an

add_virtualhost('virtual.web.domain', 'virtual.email.domain')

line in mm_cfg.py for each virtual host in addition to defining the
hosts and their host specific Mailman stuff in the web server.


Awesome. This worked like a charm. 


Many thanks,

Nets.

Hi,

The best place to discuss the Mailman Debian package is the pkg-mailman-hackers 
list:

It's more complicated to set up, but once you set up and save the
script, it's only a single command to subscribe one person to all 5 lists.

Did you substitute your host name and list name for host.name and list_name.

Also, in any case, you can go to the roster from the list's listinfo page.

But I realized later that this roster only shows addresses, not names.

See the FAQ at  for other methods.

No. Mailman does not keep that information.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Bug in SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET feature?

I installed Mailman 2.1.17 last night (upgrade from 2.1.15) and decided
to give the SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET feature a try, since we don't use
static subscribe forms. All seemed well, but this morning I noticed that
the listinfo page for some of the lists didn't work anymore. Here's an
example from the error log:


...

admin(328):   File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py", line 194,
in list_listinfo
admin(328): mlist.internal_name() +
admin(328): TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'



It appears that you put something like

SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET = Yes

in mm_cfg.py. If you set SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET, it must be a string as
for example:

SUBSCRIBE_FORM_SECRET= 'My little SecreT'

This is intended to be a string unique to your site so an attacker can't
compute the hash needed in sub_form_token.


Thanks, that solved the problem.

Cheers
Sebastian

And I assume if you go to the specific listinfo, i.e.
http://www.unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME, that works too.

Double check that the list's web admin Privacy options... -> advertised
setting is Yes.

See the FAQ at .

Thank you Mark but this seems more complicated than subscribing them one list 
at a time.

The link above is broken. My browser shows a blank page with a message stating 
the address can't be found or does not exist.

In regards to printing the list of subscribers, can they be listed in 
chronological order with date (and perhaps time also) when they were subscribed 
?
