I take it then that there is no way to do this with an existing script/admin 
tool?

[Mailman-Users] Resetting digest option for all subscribers

2005-05-28 Thread Joshua Beall
Hi All,

Is there a way to globally reset the digest option to "on" or "off" for all 
subscribers?  I have an announce-style list that gets at most 1 message per 
month, and we've had a few people that for some reason set themselves to 
digest.  Now those people are complaining that they're getting a digest but 
it only has one message in it.  It's a 5000+ member list, and 68 people have 
set themselves to digest mode.

So, if I was smart I would have just disabled digest from the beginning, but 
I didn't.  Now if I disable it, the digest members will not receive mail.  I 
can't really just count on them to turn it off themselves - I'm sure *then* 
I'd eventually get complaints that they weren't getting the monthly 
newsletter anymore.  I'd rather not manually go through all 68 of the digest 
members and reset them.  Is there a way I can simple reset the digest option 
for all current subscribers?  I couldn't seem to find this option anywhere.

Thanks for any help!

Sincerely,
  -Josh

[Mailman-Users] Getting the subscriber list

2005-03-11 Thread Joshua Beall
Hi All,

I have a very simple question that I'm sure is covered somewhere in the 
docs, but I have yet to find it.  What I want to do is grab the subscribers 
for one of our mailman lists - either through the web interface, or using 
email commands.  The list is hosted on a shared server, and I don't have 
access to the command line scripts, so I need to do it one of those two ways 
(unless I am mistaken about something?).

The reason being that we are moving from one shared server to another, and 
we want to grab all the subscribers from the list hosted on the old server, 
and mass subscribe them to the list hosted on the new server.

Any help?  I know this must be doable since there is even an option to 
control who is able to see the subscriber list.  But I can't figure out how 
exactly to actually *see* the list in an format that will allow me to grab 
all the addesses (not just starting with a particular letter).

Sincerely,
  -Josh

For whatever it's worth, I also got this subscription confirmation (not in 
english).  I don't remember the language, but spanish sounds plausible.  I 
don't remember the exact date, but again, just after I subscribed/made my 
first post to this list sounds plausible.

[Mailman-Users] Making sense of SMTP log

2005-02-16 Thread Joshua Beall
Hi All,

I am looking at logs/smtp, and I'm not sure how to decode what I'm seeing. 
Here's an example:

Feb 16 16:35:53 2005 (12550) 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> smtp 
for 1 recips, completed in 1.707 seconds

Presumable that deals with a message sent to or from the 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] list, but how do I map that to an actual message in 
the archives?  Is there a way to tell who the recipient was (if it indicates 
a message that was sent out, rather than received).

  -jb

[Mailman-Users] Mailman list size limitations?

2005-02-16 Thread Joshua Beall
Hi All,

I have a client who wants to setup a very *large* mailing list.  Right now 
she has about 4500 people on the list (including myself).

However, she has reported that people aren't getting her emails (she sends 
only about one per month), and she's tried to send two so far.  They show up 
in the archives, so I know that they are at least being received by mailman. 
Furthermore, I have been getting them - so it *seems* like it is working.

But she absolutely insists that they are not going out, saying that she has 
asked other people who are subscribed to the list, and they have not 
received her message.

Is there an error log I can take a look at it?  And also, do you know 
offhand if I am asking for trouble with such a large list?  Are there 
problems that crop up when I have such a large list?

If mailman is not able to handle such a large mailing list, what do you 
recommend?  I would prefer something open source that will run on a LAMP 
stack.

Thanks for any feedback!

Sincerely,
  -Josh

[Mailman-Users] Resetting admin password

2005-01-18 Thread Joshua Beall
Hi All,

I have a WHM/Cpanel server that with Mailman 2.1.5 installed (and running 
fine, up until now).

However, I have been trying to using cpanel's 'reset list admin password' 
feature to reset the admin password for one of my list, and it's not 
working.  I know I'm not mistyping it, because I've repeatedly tried copying 
and pasting the same password into the "change admin password to" field in 
cpanel, and then subsequently into the admin password field when attempting 
to login to the web admin tool for Mailman.

Cpanel always reports success when resetting the password, but it is not 
working.

I am wondering what my other options for resetting this password are?  Not 
everybody has cpanel installed - what is the "normal" way to reset a lost 
admin password for Mailman?

Thanks for any assistance!

Sincerely,
  -Josh
