[Mailman-Users] Move systems (UNCLASSIFIED)

Classification:  UNCLASSIFIED 
Caveats: NONE
 
I have mailman with postfix running on a 32-bit RHEL 5 system.  I need to
move it to a new 64-bit system.  Is there a way to do so without losing the
data, configurations, etc  I already have?  I have some Linux experience,
but this my first foray into managing a list server (or any type of mail
server).

[Mailman-Users] Restricting access to the create list web page

2003-01-25 Thread Mark C
Hi, 

I have just upgraded to Mailman 2.1 and all my previous problems have
now vanished and its working prefectly 
(only taken a week of constant searching and brain bashing)

I have just noticed (maybe I never realised before), but there is a web
page that will allow list admins to create a new list.

Is there anyway I can restrict access to this page, by say IP.

I don't want joe public top be able to bring this page up at all, only
the internal network list admins.

I was thinking of a directive in the mailman httpd.conf file, but not
sure where to put it.

Any help would be great

Mark

[Mailman-Users] Help with sending HTML mail and using external weblinks for images

2003-01-22 Thread Mark C
Hi,

I'm wishing to send out a newletter once a month to several people in 
HTML, and rather than put the image directly in the email (to save 
bandwidth), it it possable to link it in with the email, so when they 
read it, it downloads it from the website (this will be a special 
directory on the mailman server), rather than have it as an attatchment

I have tried creating a  creating a html mail in mozilla, and then 
putting in a href, but that just print the link into it.

Is this at all possable.

Cheers

Mark

Yes. Marketing folks do it all the time.  If you want a live example of
an email that does this, just open up some spam from your mailbox and
peruse the source/content of the email.


But this does sound silly, how would I put that link into the html?
As I presuem the only way to get Mailman to send the html format mail, 
would be to copose it in youre email client, and if I referance a http 
address, it will diplay that rather than an image?

This isn't really a Mailman issue, 

At least some actually tried to help me, as any this else I have posted 
that *IS* mailman related, I never got a reply.

other than to configure the list to
pass the MIME content you want to pass through.  I'm sure there's some
MIME goo you can add to your attachments to get (some) mail readers to
display the image inline, but off-hand I don't remember what they are
and I don't have access to the RFCs at the moment.  I'm guessing some
kind of multipart/related with a Content-Disposition: inline thingie.


Thanks for the advise.

[Mailman-Users] Back tracking subscribers confirmations

2003-01-19 Thread Mark C
Hi, 

I'm about to install mailman for a friend of mine, basically he runs a
motivation company (yes the one that employers send their staff onto to
try to get them to enjoy and be motivated in their £4.50 an hour
telesales job).

Basically he wishes send mails out informing subscribers of new deals
and seminares etc..

So I decided to take charge and build him a two machines, web server,
email server and hopefully use mailman to send out these mails, on one
condition, that anyone who he wants to send a mail *MUST* subscribe of
their own free will 
(or I will literley delete his entire harddrive on all the servers, as I
don't want mailman or Linux assosiated with being responsable for
spamming, as I will be maintaining the boxs).

Is it possable in mailman to keep track of all mail sent and received?
( I know sendmail, logs all transactions), so if someone complains to
his ISP that they never asked for a mail, we can prove by going through
mailmans archives or logs that yes they did and that we can provide the
confirmation email from that users agreed to sign up to the list.

Thanks in advance

Mark

[Mailman-Users] re subscribers not getting welcome email

2003-01-19 Thread Mark C
Hi, 

I have managed to so far sucessfully setup mailman on a private test
network.

I subscribed a few test users and, that worked no problem, each got a
request email and a confirmation email.

I then went to the web interface and unsubscribed them, and again I got
a goodbye email.

I then tested it again, by subscribing to the same list as using one of
the previous unsubscribed email addresses, and got a request email, but
this time, when I go to confirm the request, I never get a welcome email
and looking at the mailman web User Management interface, that user has
not been added onto the list.

looking at /var/log/mailman/subscribe, each user is still pending, and
according to my /var/log/maillog, sendmail has forwarded the reqest to
the wrapper mailcmd program.

There are no errors, listed in mailmans error logs either.

Please see below (note: the domain names will not resolve externally,
but will internally, as I have internal DNS setup)

/var/log/mailman/sunscribe:
Jan 20 02:05:31 2003 (7357) angelnet-news: pending [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
stimpy.angelnet.int


/var/log/maillog:

If I try to subscribe as a new user, it still works perfectly.
I am also set as the list admin as well

Any help would be greatly appresiated.

Thanks in advance

Mark
