[Mailman-Users] Moderator list pending
HI Nobody has come up with an answer to my query about how to stop the daily messages " Moderator request waiting your attention" when there is no message in the pending moderator list. I have already deleted it. One thing that occurs to me is to generate a message myself and hope that clearing it will also clear the phantom message. But how do I do this. Ralph ORIGINAL MESSAGE I am the administrator for a walking group and I received an email message that there was a moderator request waiting for my attention. I went to "Tend to moderator requests" and deleted the message. I am still getting daily emails telling me that there is a message waiting my attention, but there isn't. The offending message was deleted and no longer appears in the Pending moderator requests list. How do I stop the daily emails. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

[Mailman-Users] Adding a description to the listname-bounces address
This seems like such a simple thing that I'm sure it's described somewhere, but after searching the archives and Google I haven't had any success in finding it. We have some Outlook users, and as this FAQ describes... http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/From+field+displayed+by+Microsoft+Outlook ...they see the Sender info glued to the From info. Please note: we're perfectly happy with the listname-bounces address itself (I mention that because my searches turned up several people asking if it was possible to change.) All I'd like to know is if it's possible to add a descriptive string to that address. In other words, configure the Sender line to be something like... Sender: The Interesting Example List example-boun...@example.com ...instead of what it apparently is now... Sender: example-boun...@example.com Even just being able to insert the description value from the General Options page would help.

[Mailman-Users] appearance of member list (2.1.9)
Hi, normally (?) the member list shows all members from A to Z at one page. I have seen a list, where a kind of tabs is above it with links A...Z, and only the members with one of these letters are listet at one page. It seems to be not very useful to me, I'd like to change it to the normal appearance. Is it possible? I am not the admin of the server, therefore I can only use the admin frontend.

[Mailman-Users] Cannot connect to web administration
Hi, Last autum, I set up a MandrakeLinux with Postfix. Later I added Mailman, mainly for its integration with Mandrake. Last week the server crashed, so I had to set up a new one. It worked great! Three hours after I started the installation, Postfix was up and running! Mailman took another hour or so... My problem: I run my mail sefver behind a firewall, with port 25 open. Problem is, I can't access Mailman web pages. This is what I try to access http://hyndan.gbg.abf.se/mailman/admin/mailman If I change to IP numbers, I can get connected. Sounds to me like some sort of DNS-problem? I'm accessing from a computer in the LAN, so the firewall shouldn't be the problem.

Are there any other settings which are important? i can't find
anything in the installation instructions..
Thanks again..

[Mailman-Users] Case sensitivity for email addresses
I'm using mailman 2.1 and have managed to get one of my lists into a somewhat odd state. A user [EMAIL PROTECTED] was originally added through the mass-subscription web interface. Later, I added [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note capitalization) with the add_member script on the commandline. Or perhaps it was the opposite way around. In any case, I now have the user subscribed twice, with the same email address, but different capitalization of the domain portion. Now the problem is trying to remove either or both of these entries. Regardless of whether I use the web interface or commandline, I am unable to remove the member without breaking the list completetly. All attempts seem to remove one of the members, and then I hit a consistency check that complains about the other entry being not a member. All attempts to post to the list, etc., fail with the same error (only visible on commandline; web interface just says that an error happened). Is it possible to manually dump the database of list members, remove the offending email addresses, and then undump the database? Or some other way to fix the list?

[Mailman-Users] New lists do not work
Dear folks, We haven't made any progress on this one, so let me send it out again to see if someone recognizes something: I have no expertise at all in computer programming or the mailman program. Our installation set up by a good programmer who is not too familiar with mailman. He doesn't have the time to participate in this list. So I'll present our problem in the language of one who doesn't understand the technical language and I'll forward any suggestions to our programmer. Here's the situation: 1. Our mailman program was working fine for several months. 2. When some configuration changes were made to our server, sendmail stopped woring as did the mailman forwarding capabilities. The cause was located and corrected and all seemed to be fine. All our lists started to work again and continue to work well. But 3. New lists that are created do not work. 4. It is initially possible to administer the list, but when the first message is sent, it does not forward and, after that, it is no longer possible to access the administration page. The admin access page comes up, you type in the password, but, then, nothing happens. 5. Also, it is not possible to delete these lists and try to create them again with the same name. Any suggestions?

[Mailman-Users] Initial configuration
Dear Folks, We have just installed mailman and are as yet unfamiliar with it. We have run into a problem with the configuration. I can't get email aliases to work. We tried it out by creating a test group. The problem is that when a user registers for the group, an email is sent to a certain email address created by Mailman. This address forwards (or is supposed to) to the administrator of the group. The problem is that the email address aliases that should point to him are not being created properly, and the email is returned to the sender each time. Does anyone have a suggestion where to look for our problem? Ralph -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

[Mailman-Users] unsubscribing without the use of passwords?
Dear Reader(s), Currently im trying to help one on our customers solving a problem dealing with people wanting to unsubscribe from a certain mailing list. The customer is using mailman for the first time and asked me wether its possible for people on the list, to unsubscribe without having to use their password.(the password that they get sent in the monthly reminder) I've been looking through the FAQ, and the only answer i found is that it doesnt seem possible what this customer wants. I didnt find a box to tick/untick which has an option to make it an unsubscription possible without a password. On the old mailinglist system this customer was using it was possible. I would be very pleased if you could answer this question for me. I personally expect that its not possible what this customer wants.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Wish List - Bounces
Allow a number of days option before admin bounces are automatically deleted from the pending administrative requests area. List administrators get at least daily notices of admin requests, so they can see when they really need to tend to one. Most requests are spam submissions from non-members that are only discarded. It would be nice if the system just deleted those requests if they stayed unattended to over a certain period of time. For example, I'd pick 2 weeks -- to give me enough time to come back from vacation to deal with any accumulated requests. But otherwise, I'd just appreciate it if the system just deleted the requests after 14 days and saved me the trouble of tending to all the requests.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Sendmail getting bum rap...
...if I need a Ph.D. and five feet of shelf space for the manuals required to make it run, I don't want it on my network... That's what separates the system engineers from the skr1pt k1d33s. ;-) I don't like needing 30 books just to make a program work, but most of the time that isn't required. However anytime you start talking about advanced-to-expert level tweaking of something, the reference library seems to pile up quickly. (I do have the Wall of Cisco, a ridiculous amount of those dark blue books dedicated to routing and switching in mundane detail...) - Ralph -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
Re: [Mailman-Users] web interface not working...
Apache is run under 'httpd/httpd' (user/group).

[Mailman-Users] web interface not working...
Ok, quick system info: Server is a Cobalt Raq3i running Linux (glibc). Python is version 2.0.1. Other info, the mailman home directory is '/usr/local/mailman'. Scriptalias and other apache config was done per the docs. When I view the page for the list (creatively titled in this case) at the following URL, I get the message below it: http://xyz.xyz.com/mailman/admin/pissoff (domain changed since this is an open list) Bug in Mailman version 2.0.6 We're sorry, we hit a bug! Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. Now, the mailman logs don't show anything. However the httpd error log shows the following output (below), which makes me think there is some kind of permission thing going on. I compiled with the proper mail-gid and cgi-gid bits as far as I know... Does anyone have an idea as to what might be causing this? (I searched in vain in the archives, but may have missed something...) And I did RTFM, didn't see anything like this in there. Thanks!
