[Mailman-Users] Subject Line on Invite Messages
Hi, Does the VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes only works on certain version of Mailman? We have Mailman version 2.1.1-5, Python 3.0.4-0.1, and Qmail (1.03-rhel3) and have set the setting as suggested; but we are still getting the generic subject line for list subscription confirmation email.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Subject Line on Invite Messages
Hi Brad, Thanks for the reply. We did an update of Mailman in RedHat ES 3
and now Mailman is version 2.1.5.1-25. However, we are still getting the
generic subject line (confirm aad5624d316c46234928426cb4a6c57c691d0e7c) for
list subscription confirmation email. Attached is the mm_cfg.py we used.
Can you or other Mailman experts take a quick look at it and let us know if
we are doing something wrong? Or Are we missing some other configuration
option in the Mailman Admin GUI or elsewhere?
Many Thanks,
Jimmy
Contents of mm_cfg.py:
"""This module contains your site-specific settings.
>From a brand new distribution it should be copied to mm_cfg.py. If you
already have an mm_cfg.py, be careful to add in only the new settings you
want. Mailman's installation procedure will never overwrite your mm_cfg.py
file.
The complete set of distributed defaults, with documentation, are in the
file Defaults.py. In mm_cfg.py, override only those you want to change,
after the
from Defaults import *
line (see below).
Note that these are just default settings; many can be overridden via the
administrator and user interfaces on a per-list or per-user basis.
"""
###
# Here's where we get the distributed defaults.

# Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line.

#IMPORTANT! - You must set these domain names! #
#
# Mailman needs to know about (at least) two fully-qualified domain # names
(fqdn) # # 1) the hostname used in your urls (DEFAULT_URL_HOST) # 2) the
hostname used in email addresses for your domain (DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) # #
For example, if people visit your Mailman system with #
"http://www.dom.ain/mailman"; then your url fqdn is "www.dom.ain", # and if
people send mail to your system via "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" then # your email
fqdn is "dom.ain". DEFAULT_URL_HOST controls the former, # and
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST controls the latter. Mailman also needs to # know how to
map from one to the other (this is especially important # if you're running
with virtual domains). You use # "add_virtualhost(urlfqdn, emailfqdn)" to
add new mappings.
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mm_cfg_has_not_been_edited_to_set_host_domains'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mm_cfg_has_not_been_edited_to_set_host_domains'
# Because we've overriden the virtual hosts above add_virtualhost # MUST be
called after they have been defined.

Looking through the source, Mailman 2.1.5 mentions this option, but
I've having trouble using Subversion to figure out precisely when
this was introduced. I know that the code around this option has
changed more than once, but that's about all I can tell you right now.
I can tell you that the latest current version right now is version
2.1.8, and 2.1.9 will be released very soon. 2.1.9rc1 is out now,
and we're already running it on python.org. There are some important
security fixes coming with 2.1.9, so I highly recommend that you get
this version for your site as soon as it is available.

[Mailman-Users] Customization for one-way announcement list
Hi, We have Mailman 2.1.5 and are trying to set up and customize Mailman for a one-way announcement list for a newsletter. We have read the various suggestions in the Mailman FAQ and customize the settings, various txt file for Email, and the 3 public html pages. We are encountering some parts where there is no suggestions in the FAQs. In particular, they are the following: 1. The confirmation html page when someone click on the subscription confirmation link from within the Email. 2. The login html page to allow the user to unsubscribe and the options html page (somelists.domain.com/mailman/options/somelist) Where can we get to these pages (listed above) to customize? Or Are they generated by Mailman on the fly? If so, is it hard to hack the code, which module, and is it advisable? Does the new Mailman 2.1.9 provide more customization otpions? Many thanks for any suggestions or help.

[Mailman-Users] %variable for fullname in verify.txt
Hi all, We are trying to customize the verify.txt which is used in the Email subscription confirmation to the user. We would like to personalize it by adding the user's fullname when they registered. What is the %variable for the user's fullname we can use in the verify.txt file? Since the user's fullname is optional on the registration form so may be blank, does the verify.txt file support some type of conditional code so only display the user's fullname when it is not blank? Thank you in advance for any suggestion.
