Re: [Mailman-Users] Can't subscribe via web

OK. It is not my list, but WHY DO NOT YOU READ THE DOCUMENTATION BEFORE
INSTALLING? I am new to mailman and had no problems with it (well just a
few little, subtile ones). Maybe the message coul be YOU'LL BE REALLY VERY
SORRY IF YOU DON'T. do you think it were enough?

I guess we need to change the message to "do this, or we'll hunt you 
down and hurt your dog".

DEVELOPERS:  Why don't you just add the cron jobs as a NECESSARY part 
of
the installation.



No, no, no!!!  I don't want install scripts messing with my crontabs,
I'd rather set them up myself.  What if you have a special palace to 
put
them in or want to tweak the times.?

crontab editing isn't really standardized, either, and it's a real 
b-tch to figure out if the cron entries are already there, or have been 
installed and customized, or

this is not something I think should be automated. Too many ways to 
make life much worse. And given how often we run into "I thought it was 
optional" (as opposed to "read the instructions? why?'), I'm just not 
convinced it's broken.

[Mailman-Users] Can't subscribe via web

2002-10-25 Thread Support 
Hi,

Im running mailman-2.0.13, RH 7.2, Sendmail, apache1.3.26, UW-IMAP,
python-1.5.2

I created a test list and tried subscribing via the web interface. I get
an email requesting that I reply as confirmation. I reply but don't get
a confirmation email back and my email is not listed as a member.  I
look at the mailman logs and just see 'pending' for my email. I look at
the /var/log/maillog and I see this

###-The subscribe request
