[Mailman-Users] Changing the name of a mailing list
If I have a list called n...@domain.com and I want to change it to something else, say names...@domain.com - is there a relatively easy way to do this for someone not versed in the server side of managing the mailman install?

Thank you. Looks like I have 2.1.9 - (have to look at upgrading) Where is the best place for me to start understanding terminal commands like you list there. I am honestly not even sure where to start. I am only used to the web based interface.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman, SPAM (Spamassassin) and Plesk
I have a dedicated server (purchased through godaddy, don't cringe) The server is running Red Hat Fedora Core 8 Control Panel is Plesk 9.2.3 Deluxe Pack I am computer savvy but limited experience with Linux, let alone a linux server. The server has a mailman installation on it. I am trying to configure SPAM protection. I have Spamassassin installed and enabled on the server What I am having difficulty with is finding documentation on interfacing with the Spamassassin installation via the Plesk control panel. There are some minor settings under SPAM filtering, however I cannot figure out where the messages would go if they are tagged as SPAM or any sort of approval que. I have VERY limited exposure to running commands off of terminal but am willing to try. Anyone with experience with this sort of setup - or other advice on how they set a similar server up to prevent SPAM - advice greatly appreciated. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

Re: [Mailman-Users] Web host has hourly mailout limits
Henrik, Ran into this problem recently with my own host. Mark and I have discussed. (bluehost.com) Assuming you're in the same situation I am in - which is likely. My domain is hosted on a shared server - in other words the company has a server with something like 300 to 400 domains hosted on it. On that server, there is a single mailman installation and we all share that installation. For this reason, sometimes I'll send a message and it doesn't go out for 15 minutes or longer. This is presumably because it is sitting in que waiting for anyone else on the servers messages to go out. So, many of the code specific recommendations made on this forum don't apply to us because we dont truly have access to the mailman install. As far as the 500 limit, I am in a similar situation - fortunately my lists arent quite as large as yours. The limit is NOT a mailman limitation, but, something ... i.e. a 'policy' from the hosting company - perhaps a SPAM control measure, etc. Could it be increased? probably - I would try asking for higher level tech support and ultimately an admin. There are other hosting recommendations: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq01.017.htp http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-August/058158.html However many of these are a bit more expensive that a shared solution such as I use ($100/yr vs. $600/yr), but, you do get what you pay for. On 10/18/07, Henrik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All, In spite of previous assurances to the contrary, my web host (webserve.ca) has just told me that they have a maximum 500 per hour mail generation rate, and that there's nothing they can do to change that (which I presume is rubbish). I have questioned them about alternatives, and they have become resolutely non-responsive. I host several email lists on my server, one of which is a legitimate farmers' market email list that is almost at 500. Is there a way to get GNU mailman to batch or parcel mailouts to comply with this policy? I ran into this problem before, and it seemed that Mailman simply gave up on the whole mailout, archived the mail, and moved on. GNU Mailman in the webserve.ca plan that I have is managed by Cpanel.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Membership List Retrieval Issue - Permissions
when I put the who command in, I supplied the password to no avail. The privacy option is restricted to list members but you're saying having password in subject line should allow viewing of the list..correct? If so, that doesn't seem to be working.

This only happens with lists that I am NOT subscribed to, otherwise no problem. The roster (via web or email 'who' command) is available to Anyone, List members or List admin only depending on the setting of Privacy Options...-Subscription rules-private_roster. It seems that your lists are set up with the roster restricted to members. If that is the case, the simple format of the email 'who' command is who password If you are the list admin and not also a list member, you can supply the list admin or moderator password, and in Mailman 2.1.10, this will have the additional benefit of showing hidden members. Also see http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq03.060.htp for a different aspect of this subject. Note that the email 'who' command has different syntax depending on the setting of private_roster. If you send a 'help' command to a list's -request address, you will get a description of the various requests with the appropriate syntax for that list. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
