[Mailman-Users] Customizing Mailman
Hello everyone, My name is Kim Huff and I am new to the list. I have been using Mailman for some time now but I know that I have barely tapped its full potential. I have my own dedicated server and on there I have a few of my clients using the Mailman service. Most of them would like to offer a way for their possibly subscribers the ability to sign-up on line. We want to be very careful about this because we want to make sure people that do not belong to the organization can sign up. So, we would want anyone that signs up to go into a queue and wait to be approved. If there person truly is a part of the group, we will have people that have those records and they can approve or deny a request. The problem is. what URL does one use for to subscribe? Is there a way for me to customize this page? Most of my clients use Joomla so I would need to make sure the subscription page can work within a Joomla page. I do appreciate any help you can provide. Unfortunately, I am kind of in a time crunch so I hope everyone gets this message quickly.

[Mailman-Users] Customizing mailman to maintain history of unsubscriptions.
Hello Experts, Looking for guidance on this one. How can we customize mailman to ensure that un-subscriptions are automatically recorded. Once recorded, we also intent to customize subscribe function to automatically ensure that they don't get re-subscribed. If they explicitly ask for re-subscription, we can remove the record from un-subscribed info db. Other idea is to may be we can just customize it in a way so that we just enable the user's noemail flag with 'A' ? Any suggestions? Any patch available to achieve this functionality? Any better ideas to achieve this, please share. - Regards, Bob. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Customizing-mailman-to-maintain-history-of-unsubscriptions.-tp17503855p17503855.html Sent from the Mailman - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
Re: [Mailman-Users] Customizing mailman to maintain history of unsubscriptions.
On 5/29/08, Bob001 wrote: How can we customize mailman to ensure that un-subscriptions are automatically recorded. They already are. They're recorded in /usr/local/mailman/logs/subscribe. Once recorded, we also intent to customize subscribe function to automatically ensure that they don't get re-subscribed. You need to make sure you understand why they're unsubscribed, however. If you get unsubscribed due to excessive bounces caused by a short-term problem at your ISP, should this prohibit you from ever being subscribed again? And the automatic bounce handling system of Mailman is just one of many factors to consider. Any suggestions? Any patch available to achieve this functionality? Check the patch system on sourceforge, but I would doubt it. The key is going to be fully and completely understanding any of the various different reasons why a user was unsubscribed and putting that into the database, and knowing which of those kinds of transactions could be reversible and under what circumstances. -- Brad Knowles [EMAIL PROTECTED] LinkedIn Profile: http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

We are interesting in customizing some of the messages Mailman generates back to members. We would like to customize the message a non-member gets if they try to post.

[Mailman-Users] Customizing Mailman
I really like the way Mailman is configured here: mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users. Users can add their real name (optionally). And when they change email addresses, it allows them to CHANGE, not unsub and resub (the way my own list works). I'd like to add these two features to my installation. Do I need to write the code to do that myself or has someone described how to do this somewhere? Thanks for any help!

However, i have following questions a) How i can change or edit the default page that comes for each mailing list ( ie. http://server-name/mailman/listinfo/listname). I need to put my own images as footer instead of mailman and gnu images which comes default as footer. Moreover, i would like to add some more links in this default page. b) I have developed a search option to search the mail archives. but as of now, i am not able to edit this default page so that i can inculde the url for this search utility. Can anyone tell me how to modify the default mailman page ( http://server-name/mailman/listinfo/listname) so that i can inculde the search utility url here. Any ideas as to how to do this.

Re: [Mailman-Users] customizing mailman pages
Two ways to change the HTML pages used for Listinfo: Edit the page at its source, ~mailman/lists/listname/... Edit the page from the Admin interface, Edit the HTML for the public list pages You want to get rid of the MM-Mailman-Footer at the end of the file and replace it with html code that displays your icons, etc... You really ought to leave some form of mailman tribute on your site though. A lot of folks have worked fairly hard to bring you a really great product and all they ask is a bit of recognition.
