[Mailman-Users] How to update the templates - listinfo.html?
Hi, I'd like to customize the listinfo.html file in /var/mailman/templates/en directory I changed listinfo.html and restarted the Mailman. However, the listinfo.html webpage didn't get updated when I viewed the page in a browser. Did I miss something? Mailman 2.1.15 and RHEL 6.2. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Allow anyone to post to a mailing list
Thanks for the info. I did what you recommended. Action to take for postings from non-members for which no explicit action is defined. (Details for generic_nonmember_action) - I Set to 'Accept' and should messages from non-members, which are automatically discarded, be forwarded to the list moderator? (Edit forward_auto_discards) - I set to 'No' But still received this error: Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval. The reason it is being held: Message has implicit destination Am I missing something here?

How do I do that? The first thing you need to do is set the default non-member action to accept. (see Privacty Settings/Sender Filters) If you truly want to let everything through, you will also want to set the maximum message size (in General options) to 0 (i.e. unlimited), and not require the list name to be in the To or Cc field of the message (see privacty/recipient filters). you may also want to set the max number of recipients to something high.

Armour Van Horn What happens when you send a really long link through the system? In this case, I suspect that the line is broken before Mailman ever sees it - it would be broken if you sent it to a standard mail client just the same. But what you are sending is a text URL, not a link. The link the reipient sees (that isn't working) is created by the recipient mail client based on starting with http: and ending with whitespace. Here is your original URL, I've put it back on one line: http://labtest.ca.boeing.com/~psim/NewRtPlatform/test_plate_form_notes.07_18 _02.html Now, here it is again as a link: http://labtest.ca.boeing.com/~psim/NewRtPlatform/test_plate_form_notes.07_18 _02.html Unfortunately, that's behind a firewall and nobody outside The Kite Factory will know if it worked again. Here is one that should be long enough to break anything, based on all the URL encoding I used. First as text: http://www.domainvanhorn.com/dropbox/copy%2520of%2520van%2527s%2520self%2520 portrait%2520in%2520the%2520bathroom.jpg And now as a link: http://www.domainvanhorn.com/dropbox/copy%2520of%2520van%2527s%2520self%2520 portrait%2520in%2520the%2520bathroom.jpg I won't know until this goes through the system, but I suspect that all four will be broken onto two lines, but that the linked versions will still work. Maybe we'll all learn somethign at that point. It's a universal problem. As the number of documents on a server grows, I think we're going to have to abandon the idea of having humans read URLs for taxonomy - it leads to URLs that break in too many places.

[Mailman-Users] A long URL - 2 lines - second line is not clickable.
Hi, I am using Mailman 2.0.6-1 and Sendmail-8.11.6-3. My users are complaining about the line wrap problem when send mailing mail to the mail list with a long URL. It seems line wraps text lines that are longer than 80 characters with no white-space. If you include a long URL in a email message it usually gets split onto separate lines and the typical email reader within BCA (exchange) marks the first part of the link as clickable when usually it isn't. People have to paste the whole link back together manually in a web browser input dialog to get it to work. First, I thought it maybe a Sendmail problem. So I tried send a mail via Sendmail with a long URL and it appears to be fine. The long URL did split into two lines, and the second line is still highlighted as a href link, so there was no problem. By clicking the link, the browser would bring up the correct information. However, sending an email to the mail list is a different problem. For example, http://labtest.ca.boeing.com/~psim/NewRtPlatform/test_plate_form_notes.07_18 _02.html will show up with 2 lines and the second line would be ml and wouldn't be highlighted as part of the URL that is clickable. Any clue? Thanks for any help. We had this problem for about a year. I finally got a chance to look into it now.

RE: [Mailman-Users] Add Security Features in PHP
Hi Wash, I am sorry that I didn't make it clear. I have a web collaboration tool that is using the Mailman for the mailing list service. Every user is required to log in in order to use the collaboration tool. The security checking that I was talking about is to check user's person status against Boeing's internal database. All this security/log in checking is written in php. What I am saying is that I don't want any users access Mailman pages unless he/she is logged in. I don't know really know how to program in Python yet. Is there anyway that I can interface Mailman with PHP code? Thanks in advance.

Not that I am negating your question. I am still so new to mailman but I am also satisfied with the level of security that it gives so far, in terms of access to list admin, members list, archives. Well maybe for me I'm not anal about security but those seem enough to me. Maybe you should join the dev team and introduce new features ;-) cheers - wash +--+ -+ Odhiambo Washington, [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

[Mailman-Users] How to modify information to /templates/listinfo.html
I am using mailman 2.0.8. I would like to customize /templates/listinfo.html. The part where it shows the link of the archive: p To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the MM-ArchiveMM-List-Names Archives/MM-Archive. ... The MM-List-Names would have the value of the list name and it assumes it is pointing at index.html. I would like to have MM-List-Names have the value of the listname/main.php. So the browser would be looking at main.php not defaulted to index.html. How do I do that? How do I add a new tag like MM-List-File-Extension, so I can just have the following, p To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the MM-ArchiveMM-List-NamesMM-List-File-Extension Archives/MM-Archive. and the link will be pointing to the main.php instead of index.html.

[Mailman-Users] No root privilege on the mail server
Hi All, I have the Mailman software loaded on my machine. We have a mail server on a remote machine, but I don't have the root privilege on it. After reading the Mailman documentation, I need to add list aliases to the /etc/aliases file. If I don't have the root access, can I still set up the Mailman software successfully? I have the full root privilege on my own machine. Do I need install a mail server program on my machine so that I can run Mailman successfully ? Is there something like a virtual mail server? Thanks in advance. Mary (562) 797-1545 -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
[Mailman-Users] Administrator - where to put the message?
Hi, I am using the Mailman as the mailing list. I have a question, as an admin, if the list member sends me a message that he/she wants to post. How do I post his/her message? I could not find this option from the administrative functions. Thanks in advance.
