[Mailman-Users] sending emergency message to _all_ subscribers
Can I override subscribers personal settings (no mail, digest) to send a message? I want to be able to send a message to all subscribers, even those who do not receive normal list messages - this is a one off important administrative message. I've looked and searched ... If it's not possible maybe I need to set up a special list for announcements only. That's easy enough but would it be possible to use the subscription list from my main list as the subscription list for the announcement list. ie one subscription list which is accessed by two mailing lists?

[Mailman-Users] Headers _within_ digests
A typical Mailman list digest will start each post message with the following: Message: 1 Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 17:49:01 -0500 From: List Subscriber [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [listname] A clever subject line To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed This is, to me, Too Much Information! Do we really need to know the content type? And surely we know where the message was sent to? I subscribe to a list which runs on LetterRip Pro and only includes the Subject:, Date: and From: headers, thus making the digest much easier to read. I can quickly see the information which matters when digesting a digest! Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 17:49:01 -0500 From: List Subscriber [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [listname] A clever subject line I'd like to clean up the digests my lists send.

[Mailman-Users] Changing my DEFAULT_HOST_NAME
I have moved my server including Mailman installation from one host to another. As a result the default server name changed. I have added the new default server name to mm_cfg_py but still see that monthly password reminders are sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Defaults.py has --- # Site-specific settings DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'my-domain.my-old-host.co.uk' # DEFAULT_URL must end in a slash! DEFAULT_URL = 'http://mydomain.my-old-host.co.uk/mailman/' # PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL and PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL should not end in slashes! PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = '/pipermail' PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL = '/mailman/private' HOME_PAGE = 'index.html' MAILMAN_OWNER = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME --- and I have added the following to mm_cfg_py --- # Site-specific settings DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'my-domain.org' # DEFAULT_URL must end in a slash! DEFAULT_URL = 'http://my-domain.org/mailman/ --- There are two questions here really: How do I ensure that the default email address is my-domain.co.uk and not my-domain.my-old-host.co.uk? (Note that mail from the list does come from my-domain.co.uk but I believe that's a change I made in the web admin panel.) Why shouldn't I just make the changes in Defaults.py - yes I know the documents say don't! But as I have in effect reinstalled my Mailman on another server shouldn't I have Defaults.py as accurate as possible? Final related question, does Defaults.py get the DEFAULT_SERVER_NAME from my Apache httpd.conf during the install.

[Mailman-Users] Working with multiple domains
My host runs a Virtual Server environment (I believe using VSD) and I have a number of different domains there. I have a couple of Mailman lists running from a single installation but using different domains. ie [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Both of those lists will eventually 'give away' the real name (the FQDN?) of the server they are running on, http://my-server.my-host.co.uk. For example the listinfo page at http://this-domain.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/ some-list has a link, To see a collection of prior postings... to http: //my-server.my-host/mailman/private/some-list and that link is also given in the welcome message. I'm not quite clear how (if?) I can set up the site-specific settings in mm_cfg_py so that each domain only ever refers to itself. I believe I can see how to change the default domain name but can I do this for more than one domain? What I want is to keep a single Mailman installation and the name of the host server secret.

[Mailman-Users] Unistalling Mailman upgrade
I'd like to upgrade from 2.0.13 to the latest Mailman (2.1.5?). I've looked at the docs for doing this but wonder if I might be better deleting my current install and starting afresh. This (I hope) would solve a problem with my archive and the fact that admin messages come from the wrong host address (we moved host I have tried fixing this...). I can't see anything in the FAQs about this, what do I need to delete (apart from the obvious!). Which files do I need to save in order to keep my membership list and password combinations? I'm assuming I can drop these files into my new install and subscribers will carry on as usual. Its taken that I will have to close the list while I do this but this seems a good time of year to do so. Thanks for any advice.

[Mailman-Users] missing archives and weird size question
Using Mailman 2.0.13 my list doesn't appear to have been archiving itself (via Pipermail). On the website archive page http://mydomain.tld/mailman/private/mylist/ messages stop in August 2003. The option to download the full raw archive says it is 13MB. When I use an FTP client (Fetch) to look at the files on the server I see nothing in /usr/local/home/mailman/archives/private (Linux flavoured server). But when I connect by command line over SSH I see files [EMAIL PROTECTED] mylist.mbox]$ pwd /usr/local/home/mailman/archives/private/mylist.mbox [EMAIL PROTECTED] mylist.mbox]$ ls -lah total 44M drwxrwxr-x2 mailman mailman80 Dec 8 2002 . drwxr-x--x6 mailman mailman 160 Dec 8 2002 .. -rw-rw-r--1 mailman mailman 44M Dec 22 13:54 mylist.mbox Clearly I don't do this enough to see the blindingly obvious mistake but... How come the archive is being written to today but I can only see file from August 2003 on the website? Why does the website say the mailbox is 13MB but its really 44MB?

I've just set my options for this list to receive the digest. The digest which arrived is not formatted in the same way as the digest on the list I administer. There are no headers or footers between the messages breaking them up and making them easier to read. This may be a difference between my 2.0.13 list and this running 2.1. Or it could be to do with MIME which I set to receive because it was advised. Whichever I'd like to know so I can advise my subscribers when we change to 2.1.

[Mailman-Users] non-wrapping mail in Pipermail archive
I've looked in the FAQs I see some mails don't wrap when viewed in my Pipermail archive. I have one which is from a Yahoo user. No doubt that's the problem! My messages are run through StripMime to remove HTML and attachments. The Yahoo mail reported... --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- Obviously the remaining plain text wasn't set to wrap and so the archive page has to be scrolled right to read the message. A real pain! How can I deal with this? Is there another script somewhere I can use to force messages like this one to wrap at a given character count? Do other archives (MHonArc?) deal with this problem better? Mailman 2.0.13 user BTW.

[Mailman-Users] Importing archives
I know I can import an archive to a new list, cos I read the FAQs... 5.1. How do I import an archive into a new mailing list? If your archive is in mbox format copy it to archives/private/list.mbox/list.mbox (where list is your list name) then run bin/arch list archives/private/list.mbox/list.mbox If it's not in mbox format then you need to figure out how to convert it from whatever form it's in to mbox I am moving a list to Mailman. It would be nice to re-create the archive. Do I have to create an mbox for each month, or do I just put all of the messages in one mbox? I have about 7500 messages going back a couple of years. But I think there are more somewhere. Can I add those messages later? Or is importing an archive a once only event. I think I want the archive to be in monthly view, if that makes any difference.

Mailman 2.0.13 / Sendmail I've set up a Mailman list which all seems to work fine. I subscribed myself [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] as the first subscriber, sent and received a test message. Sure everything was okay I subscribed more people using the 'auto-subscribe' feature. Those people got mail and replied. But [EMAIL PROTECTED] didn't get their replies, or any mail. I subscribed another address at mydomain.tld, unsubscribed the me@ address and resubscribed it. So I now have to subscriptions to mydomain.tld. So I should get two copies of all posts - the 'membership options' confirm my settings. But I don't, I only get one copy. And I don't know to which account as my host seems to have stripped out the 'to' or 'for' line from my headers. My maillog shows mail being sent out to all subscribers, including both my addresses at mydomain.tld This seems odd to me and makes me worry that not all subscribers might be receiving mail although as far as I can see they should be.

[Mailman-Users] Installing using stripmime.pl (anti HTML)
I have now read the FAQs regarding stripping HTML from my list's messages. http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq04.013.htp I think Alex Wetmore's looks the simplest from my point of view. http://www.phred.org/~alex/stripmime.html Is anyone using this on their list? Is it okay? I tried following Alex's instructions but messages then stopped being mailed out. I think my lack of Unix understanding is letting me down. (I don't know for sure that Perl is running on my remote server for example. It's installed, how do I check it's running?)

[Mailman-Users] Sendmail: Cannot mail directly to programs
I've now got the Mailman web interface up and working for my first list. However sending a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (to get help) results in the following mail error Recipient [EMAIL PROTECTED] refused on smtp.mydomain1.tld 5.7.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... Cannot mail directly to programs According to the Sendmail FAQs at http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section3.html Q3.11 -- Why can't my users forward their mail to a program? If you are willing to let users run programs from their .forward file even though they cannot telnet or rsh in (as might be reasonable if you run smrsh to control the list of programs they can run) then add the line: /SENDMAIL/ANY/SHELL/ to /etc/shells. Er, can I/should I do that then? Or is there another/better/safer/correct way to do this? Thanks again!

[Mailman-Users] HTML Digests
Got my first list set up and running. Thanks to all here who helped! Now... Can I make HTML mail appear as plain text? Or can I auto bounce HTML mails? HTML seems to make a big mess when it appears on archive. Anything I can do about that? I'd also like to be able to prevent any attachments from being posted.

[Mailman-Users] Another newlist aliases problem?
Set up test list list. Web interface working. Subscription requests generates confirmation of subscription mail. Replying to that mail (to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) sees that mail routed via my catch-all mail account for that domain. Yes, I have done the business with the aliases document. Here's what it says... mailman: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-owner: mailman test-request: mailman ## test mailing list ## created: 09-Nov-2002 mailman test:|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test test-admin: |/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test test-request:|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test test-owner: test-admin I also did a newaliases. I've tried a couple of times but I can't get it going. Is it because I have a catch-all email set up? I'm running Sendmail. Somewhere in Sendmail I have a line @mydomain1.tld user1 Do I have to add the alias lines there as well? Thanks!
