Mailman is installed on the x-serve systems, though I understand it's a pain to work with because Apple made some modifications to the source code. As for individual systems, I am running Mac OS X 10.3.6 with Postfix enabled (using the aptly named Postfix Enabler to turn everything on), along with anomy, spamassassin, and Mailman 2.1.5.

My lists are small, no more than 200 members on any one list, but the system handles everything smoothly and invisibly while I continue to work in the foreground. If you have a heavier load in mind you should prepare to dedicate a machine. The only annoying aspect of the whole setup is that I'm using mail.app to handle all my correspondence, and whenever I reply to a list I have to remember to switch things around to avoid top-posting.

Re: [Mailman-Users] HI I have just set up a mailing list withdominet.net
So, you are running mailman on a Mac, or you have access to a Mailman list on a server at dominet.net? If the latter, your personal platform is unimportant since administration is done over the web, and dominet.net should have some documentation to tell you how to use the software in their specific environment. However, there is generic documentation here: http://www.list.org/docs.html If, on the other hand, you are trying to set up Mailman on a Mac, you need to be comfortable with running installs from the Terminal application under Mac OS X. Mailman runs quite happily under Mac OX 10.1 on up. I am currently running Mailman 2.0.13 with qmail as the mail server under Mac OS X 10.2.6.

Re: [Mailman-Users] MM Mac OS X ?
How helpful this is remains to be seen, but I have been running mailman with qmail under OS X for a couple of months now. I installed under 10.1 first, using fink to install python, and installing qmail essentially from scratch. After I installed qmail I did a fair amount of testing to ensure that qmail was accepting and delivering mail properly. This is running on my home system, but my daughters' systems are networked via a router, and the whole network is accessing the net through an ADSL connection with static IP and my own domain name. I didn't install mailman until I had mail working properly for everyone and was sure that there were no open relays. I installed 2.0.12 first, then upgraded almost immediately to 2.0.13. I had a couple of problems with permissions, so I reconfigured with various options set. All of this was still under 10.1. After the upgrade to 10.2 I had no obvious problems - everything worked - but when I checked the system log I found I was getting a lot of complaints about pre-binding on python. I haven't worked out what's going on there. It's not that the message doesn't make sense, but that it is intermittent. If I reboot, sometimes the pre-binding message goes away. I haven't spent much time on it, and won't as long as the system operates properly. Eventually fink will catch up with 10.2 or I'll rebuild with the system's version of python - but not today. My needs are light. On a busy day I might get ten incoming messages and direct them to a couple of hundred address. I've had one glitch so far, but it was a qmail freeze which resulted from the trigger file being left in an odd state after I killed the system one night while playing with some early software. I should know better than to run version 0.01 of anything I reset the perms on the trigger and rebooted, and eventually qmail came out of its trance. Mailman itslef has been solid. I was running LetterRip under OS 9, and my users really appreciate the web interface and archiving which mailman provides. Bottom line is, mailman can run under 10.2 but since I haven't tried to install directly I doubt I can help with your problem, though I'm willing to try. I just hope this is encouraging enough that you persevere. What are you using for mail service?

Back in January, when I was setting up a new mail server for our agency, I went with Mac OS X 10.1 for the plain old SMTP/POP needs, but I also needed a listserv package. At the time, I tried unsuccessfully to get Mailman set up but had no luck in the timeframe I was allotted. Instead, I've been running Majordomo pretty successfully since then, using Webmin for my various list administrators to do their thing. I'm now in a position to re-evaluate our listserv options as I'm planning to step up to Mac OS X Server 10.2 (Jaguar) in the next month or two (probably implementing over the Thanksgiving break.) I like the features it includes and it integrates perfectly with our all-Mac network. I'd like to take another look at Mailman, but this time I'm not too proud to ask for help. Long story short, I'm running Mac OSXS 10.2 on a development machine. I spent the better part of this afternoon trying to get it configured. I've got the developer tools installed, of course, and followed the MM directions to the absolute letter. I've created the mailman user and group as directed. I created the mailman directory with proper permissions.

I have no idea what the rest is saying. I know the last line is looking for the file in question, which apparently wasn't created during the install process. The 'wrapper' file is simply missing -- why, I have no idea. I should note here that aside from the first three lines, I got exactly the same error immediately after running the make and before any lists were created. I
Re: [Mailman-Users] Blocking Unsubscribe?
I inadvertently ran into another approach to blocking unsubscription. I recently added subscribers using a dump from a database list which I manually edited to remove some extraneous characters. I didn't look hard enough: there were a couple of null (and therefore invisible) characters at the end of some of the names. Mail went out successfully, and it wasn't until someone tried to turn delivery off while they went on vacation that I found there was a problem. The password note told them to access their info pages at http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]%00 but all that got them was an error message. The address looked fine on my member management page, but any attempt by the user to reach the info page was rejected. Removing the %00 didn't work - it just resulted in a different error. I didn't try email, but I doubt it would have worked either. I had to manually cancel the subscriptions for several users and re-subscribe them - there was no way they could do it themselves.
