[Mailman-Users] Settings for announcement only list questions.
A client of ours with 72K subscribers recently became the victim when one of the subscribers decides to email the list owner address which sent out 72K emails to everyone on the list. I know this is a feature of Mailman, but never once in the past 6 months of using Mailman has this ever happened before. I did not setup the lists for this particular client, but I'm reviewing the administration area and do not see any settings turned on so that the individual could have blasted out the email by emailing the list owner. I don't think it's security hole as this guy only sent out his email in the body and his email provider attached signatures related to dating services. He could have been a lot more malicious than that. I may have looked over some setting. Any have a list of settings to check to make sure only one email address has the authority to blast out?

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Timesout When UnSubscribing, Why?
I'm trying to unsubscribe a user from a list of 70,000 and so I'm going to the listinfo URL of this list, and attempting to unsubscribe an email. The page loads just fine, however, when I hit the Edit Options button, it's taking forever to load. It's sooo long that the browser simply expires. If I'm performing this task for another list which is 39,000 in size, it does it just fine. The load on theserver is: last pid: 88090; load averages: 0.10, 0.04, 0.01 up 5+19:13:10 12:18:34 35 processes: 2 running, 33 sleeping CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 100% idle Mem: 27M Active, 3276K Inact, 39M Wired, 22M Buf, 52M Free Swap: 512M Total, 32M Used, 480M Free, 6% Inuse Any ideas?

RE: [Mailman-Users] Mailman Timesout When UnSubscribing, Why?
Hi, I attempted to use the command line and after 8 minutes, still just trying to unsubscribe. I tried it both passing the one email in a file and via the STDIN. I then checks the lock directory and there was about 25 different locks on that one list. So I removed all the locks and killed off any mailman related process either command line or from the browser. I tried it again and was successful. Still, I will consider the option of upgrading the server or creating a RAM disk... Regards, Jonathan Chum Systems Developer A I S M e d i a , I n c .

You'll find several good suggestions on dealing with this in the archives. Try using the command line tools to make the change you want. If that is too inconvenient, then you'll want to look at setting up a Ram Disk. Use the Ram Disk like an ordinary partition, load the lists config directories into the Ram Disk, then mount the Ram Disk in place of the lists config directories. Several admins have done this for especially large mailing lists. It works a treat. Of course, another alternative is upgrade your disk-subsystem and processor so that disk requests happen faster and complete before the time-out.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Sending Out Duplicates!
I'm not sure what exactly is the problem, however Mailman is sending duplicates up to 12x for a client of ours. I reviewed the dmesg.today log file and notice it ran out SWAP space. The machine is a PIII 850 with 128 MB RAM and 512 of SWAP space. There are two lists that are blasted out. . . one list that's 72,500 subscribers and another list of 37,300 subscribers. The problem usually occurs when the 72,500 subscribers are blasted out. We did not have this problem when the client started with 50K subscribers and the previous administrator tweaked Sendmail and Mailman. I would think Mailman working as a robust list server should have mechanisms to prevent duplicate emails. Reviewing the ps -auxww when the SWAP space ran out, it looked like a few Mailman processes was sucking up all the memory. Any ideas to fix tihs issue? Is memory the problem?

[Mailman-Users] Any other mailing list software?
Hi, One of our clients which we put them on Mailman finds the administration of the list very unfriendly and complex. They are now questioning whether there are any other applications comparable to Mailman's performance, but more user friendly. Even if it costs them $$$. The only problem though is that they do not want to be hosted by a company such as Topica, but on their own dedicated machine to blast these emails through. Is there any other software someone can recommend? Regards, Jonathan Chum Systems Developer A I S M e d i a , I n c .

I was wondering if there are any nice front ends for Mailman that would allow complete list administration via the browser. That would be sending out HTML/TEXT emails, attachments, etc. all via the web interface. They would be able to view statistics of their list, number of subscribers, number of unsubscribers, etc. I haven't see anything like that but I may have overlooked something, but there is, I'd like to know about it.

[Mailman-Users] Sending HTML to the email list
Hi, I've sent a HTML document successfully to the list and I'm curious what will happen to those who cannot read HTML documents properly? Is there an option in Mailman for subscribers to subscribe to a text only version, or will that require setting up a new list? Or will Mailman handle this for me?

[Mailman-Users] Sending email to the list
I've just got started with Mailman, and reviewing the list and admnistrator documentation. I could not find anywhere how'd I send a HTML or plain text to the list. I logged in as the list administrator and it provide options to configure the list, unless I missed an option to send an email. Where would I find where I need to fill and email this newsletter out to the subscribers on the list? And, is there an options I have to do in order to send HTML newsletters?

RE: [Mailman-Users] Sending out email blast in HTML format
Hmm, Why is there an option in the web interface that allows to get MIME or Plain Text Digests: Get MIME or Plain Text Digests? If you have any problems with MIME digests, select plain text. x MIME x Plain Text What kind of effect does that have on the newsletter? Does Mailman automatically check the content of the email to see whether it needs to send as HTML or TEXT format? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John Wards Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 3:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Sending out email blast in HTML format send it to the list as an html email - Original Message - From: Jonathan Chum [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 8:08 PM Subject: [Mailman-Users] Sending out email blast in HTML format Hi, I'm pretty new to Mailman, but I was wondering how would I send a newsletter in HTML format.

[Mailman-Users] Counting the number of new subscribers from a certain age
Hi, I didn't see any tools that would do this but after poking around with a few utlities, I came up with this tool, list_members in the bin directory. I played with it and it dumps the users, but each time it ran, it didn't dump the users in any certain order, randomly. . . If he dumped it out from the oldest subscriber to the newest subscriber, maybe then can I code a script that searches for an individual then count how many new users were added since that individual. That's the goal I was trying to achive is counting the number of new subscribers. Any ideas of how I could acheive this? Regards, Jonathan Chum Systems Developer A I S M e d i a , I n c .
