 True, the problem seems to be that it complains about:
 
 displayParsedFile: Can't open /var/www/html/htdig/nomatch.html
...
 And the same thing with header.html when it gets positive hits. 

Look at http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#common_dir, a compile-time
setting for htdig.

Some versions of htdig have a bug that requires this file be writeable
by the user running htsearch.  Try making it world writeable and rerun
the htsearch commandline.  If it works, you could change the permissions
back and change ownership to be that of the web server uid.  If not, ask
on htdig-general (http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=4593).

Are you sure about that version number???

Also, this means we've solved the gzip problem, right?

 search, I only get an empty screen as result. 

Do the webserver logs show anything about the problem?

You can test whether htsearch itself is working by running from a
commandline the following:

  /usr/bin/htsearch -c $prefix/archives/htdig/listname.conf

Give it something to search for and answer short for the format value.

Then what you need is a script that collects the messages from digests

but if you want the archives badly enough you can always write one. 

I did this for some archives I had (in Hypermail format); the script's

Nope, it's not blocked (I'm on MCI).

 Secondly, assuming this is the case, how can I get around this problem
 without changing my ISP?

Why don't you send your mail through Comcast's mail servers? You can
have Mailman do this by setting DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect' and
adjusting SMTPHOST in Mailman/mm_cfg.py.

When I migrated from majordomo to Mailman, I choose to stay with MHonArc,

drawback to doing this is that Mailman supports pipermail directly.

That said, Richard Barrett of OpenInfo has written some patches that
integrate MHonArc (and htdig, for searching) seemlessly with Mailman;
you can find them at http://www.openinfo.co.uk/mailman/.  [By the way,
don't be confused by the labelling on the initial page -- patches are
available for 2.1.5.] They've been working well for me for about a year

Mailman uses mbox files to generate archives; if you can extract the
messages from Evolution to that (sorry, I don't know Evolution), you
should be fine.  Place the mbox file in the correct archive directory
for your list (eg, /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/$listname.mbox) and
run bin/arch $listname to generate them.  Note: if your list already
has an archive, you'll need to take care to integrate your older archive
with the current one and will probably want to use the --wipe option
when calling arch. 

 3. Do you have anywhere a detailed operation manual for Mailman 2.1.5?

Have you seen the texts listed under the Documentation section of the

From a commandline, you can use config_list; eg,

to list the settings for $list.  See also the -i option for use in

Re: [Mailman-Users] how to prevent postings with faked moderator emailadress

 Is there any way to make the list more secure?
 e.g. the moderator has to put a password into his posting or subject!?

Yes, you want to set up the moderator with a password (under the
Passwords section of the list administration pages) and have him / her
include that in an Approved: header (or first line).

 Where can I change the limit?

If you use the web admin interface, look under General Options, near the
bottom of the page.  If you use config_list instead, the option is named
max_message_size.

This is one of OpenInfo's patches, right?

Did you apply OpenInfo's patch #760567 first?  This is described at:

 Good evening, all...  I am trying to set MHonarc up to work with MailMan.  I am
 following the instructions found at:
 http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/mhonarc-users/2001-10/msg00021.html

I can't help you with those instructions but would like to put in a good
word for OpenInfo's Mailman patches:

http://www.openinfo.co.uk/mailman/

Among the available patches are some to integrate Mailman with MHonArc
and/or Htdig.  Provided you're running reasonably current versions,
these patches are simple to apply and work wonderfully.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailmail-MHonArc Integration

 Could someone please point me to the procedure to integrate MHonArc to

I found OpenInfo's patches do an excellent job of this:

http://www.openinfo.co.uk/mailman/

especially patches 444879, 444884, 760567, and 820723.  The first two
aren't for MHonArc per se; instead, they add the ability to search
archives using htdig. 

By the way, one point I didn't find mentioned on OpenInfo's site -- apply
the patches *before* configuring the mailman source.

 That's true in most cases, but in our university we are being spammed with 
 a news bulletin no one subscribed to, managed by a mailman program. The 
 spammer has disabled the web interface, and since we did not subscribe 
 ourselves, we don't have the individual passwords to unsubscribe via email. 

If a spammer is going to such trouble, I imagine he/she would also do
things like not have -leave/unsubscribe aliases, require approval to
unsubscribe, sync the list periodically with an external source, etc. 

I think you're better off treating the source as you would any other
spammer: complain to his/her provider, report to blocklist(s), block /
filter messages from the source, and the like.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailing List Problem

 There is an email address on our mailing list that is receiving our
 messages.  They do not wish to be on the list.  The address do not
 appear anywhere within the list.  can you offer any suggestions as to
 how we can stop this address from receiving our messages? 

First, you need to detect how messages are getting to that address. 
More than likely, they're being forwarded automatically.  To figure it
out, ask the receipient if s/he can send you a copy of one of the
messages already sent; make sure it includes *all* the headers. 

If the version of Mailman you're using supports VERP and you've
configured it to use that, tracking down the subscriber is as simple as
looking at the from envelope header (ie, From ) - it will hold an
encoded version of the subscriber's address.  

Alternatively, look at the Received headers and trace the connection
(the recipient's host(s) will occur at the top, you're interested in the
next host). 

Finally, if you can't get a copy of the headers or they're not helpful,
get in touch with the mail administrator at the recipient's site and ask
for his/her cooperation in tracing the source of the messages.
