-Original Message- From: Karl Carlile [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] This list according to the blurb on the relevant web site is designed, among other things, to assist subscribers with installment problems. There are some subscribers on the list who sneer at people who are what are called newbies. Although I also dislike to see people getting sneered at and the standard look in the archives, I can imagine people getting tired of the same old questions. Some questions have answers right in the documents that come with the distribution or in documentation which is linked on the website. However I agree that some information could be better organised. I already suggested Barry to add some standard questions in the FAQ. I'll keep an eye on some standard questions and answers. But again, Karl, as I wrote from the beginning... your trying to go to fast... You need to get some Unix-skills... craftmanship if you please... the approach of things in a Unix enviroment is so much different from Windows. Together with that you also need some understanding about the internet, networking and servers. Probably the best way to get this knowledge is a good book or some tutorial websites. Now to the problem... On Thursday 12 July 2001 13:35, you wrote: Now the problem is that I cannot subscribe to the list because these addresses dont work. When I access them I get a blank page. I have made some changes so that not I dont even get that. At the moment im not concerned about the pages. I just want to get the email addresses right. If my pc is to be a server do i not make my own email addresses. Please add more detail... From your attachment it seemed that you didn't configure the host itself.

If not, the only PRACTICAL difference is that if the pipe is full, delivery slows down. What is the real cost is? That messages show up five minutes later than they would if we don't do this? Well, I can give some figures... My company is sending a newsletter on behalf of one of our clients. About 4000 subscribers. First this was done by an Exchange mailserver (Yes, I hated it too, that's why I came in ;). It took the server about 8 hours to send out all mail over the 256 k upstream. And them it would still take some days to get out the failed messages. If the NT server didn't break. We switched to Mailman + Postfix some weeks ago and did a newsletter. The mailserver was on a slow 14k upstream @home line... We calculated 7 hours of delivery time. Not an improvement to the first, but at least a stable system and over a lower quality line. After 3 hours I checked the mailqueue... I was supprised to find that over 90% of the mail had been delivered. The leftover 10% was merely wrong addresses or slow mailserver (bigfoot). Suddenly I realised that it was the several addresses at once feature of Mailman + Postfix that did the trick.

Hey folks, I'm wondering if you could reccomend a good anti-virus filter/scanner thing that I can use to scan the mail going through my lists, ideally one that would alert me and/or the list admin before sending out mail that was potentially infected. Okay, this one is pretty basic and probably a bit at 'doh!'-level, but the best way is to strip any attachments. Personally I think mailinglists should not be used for attachments... but that's MHO. -- Enriko Groen, Hosting manager netivity bv www.netivity.nl [EMAIL PROTECTED] 038 - 850 1000 van nagellstraat 4 8011 eb zwolle -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

I know I can do this EG through the add_member command but I would like to do this EG through the mail-interface. I believe that if you use the list-owners' password you don't need confirmation. I'd have to double check that though (note to Marc: you may want to double check this too! ;). I checked it... however you still need to confirm a subscription. Is there an other way to bypass it? The current CVS tree -- what will become Mailman 2.1 -- has all the i18n stuff integrated. There are still a few glitches in the current snapshot, but I'll try to clear those up today. Mailman 2.1 isn't ready for prime time yet though, but if you're interested in translating the catalog and templates for Dutch, that would be great (I'm sure Guido would agree. :). Always good... so as I understand, there isn't a dutch catalog available at this moment?

RE: [Mailman-Users] GID Problems, big headache
-Original Message- From: Zimmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Ok, i have a problem with my GID setting. I had the same probs with my installation (mailman-2.05 + postfix + FreeBSD). However I did so many things to solve this problem that I'm not sure now what really fixed it. Have you made a separate aliases file for mailman like suggested in the installation FAQ? -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
RE: [Mailman-Users] Problems making mailman work.
However, Mailman is not sending out mail. I noticed it when I created my first mailing list. It's supposed to send a message to the owner. But, it does not. Any ideas? I've tried the instructions under README.LINUX and I know my sendmail is working. Check both sendmail and mailman logfiles to see if messages arive and get sent out. You might find some warnings/errors there. -- netivity bv www.netivity.nl [EMAIL PROTECTED] 038 - 850 1000 van nagellstraat 4 8011 eb zwolle -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

[Mailman-Users] No confirm localisation
Hi I just switched from majordomo to mailman on my FreeBSD 4.2 mailserver. I have three questions: Is it possible to add members by sending an email containing subscribe password address=email without needing a confirm message from the recipient? I know I can do this through the add_member command but I would like to do this through the mail-interface. Are there any localisized files/distributions available for the current version of mailman or do I need to tranlate them myself? I'm looking specificly for dutch language files. Finally... is a syntax specification avialable for the wrapper? So I can check which commands can be used together with the wrapper. -- netivity bv www.netivity.nl [EMAIL PROTECTED] 038 - 850 1000 van nagellstraat 4 8011 eb zwolle -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
[Mailman-Users] To bulk or not to bulk
Hi! Is there a way to change/switch off the Precendence: bluk header in mailman? For one of my mailinglists I would like to turn it off to receive bounces at user-level. -- netivity bv www.netivity.nl [EMAIL PROTECTED] 038 - 850 1000 van nagellstraat 4 8011 eb zwolle -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
