Re: [Mailman-Users] Using Mailman for Newsletters
Thank you, I have been through this exercise recently and whilst I didn't find this particular information in time, putting all the 'newsletter' related guidance together in one place is a great idea and very valuable -Original Message- From: Adam McGreggor [mailto:adam-mail...@amyl.org.uk] Sent: Thursday, 30 August 2012 1:02 AM To: Peter D Sparkes Cc: mailman-users@python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Using Mailman for Newsletters On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 07:04:47AM +0100, Peter D Sparkes wrote: > Hi > > I am currently using exim4 on Linux Debian and intend to install Mailman. > > Mailman Requirements:: > > * Collect email addresses > * Send out newsletters > * No subscriber to have access to the list > * administrator to be able to add, delete email addresses. > * Only administrator to be able to send newsletters/emails to list members. > > From the documentation I can't see how to configure Mailman to meet these > requirements.

[Mailman-Users] Using Mailman for Newsletters
Hi I am currently using exim4 on Linux Debian and intend to install Mailman. Mailman Requirements:: * Collect email addresses * Send out newsletters * No subscriber to have access to the list * administrator to be able to add, delete email addresses. * Only administrator to be able to send newsletters/emails to list members. From the documentation I can't see how to configure Mailman to meet these requirements.

I can see the mail passing in my Postfix logs and the bounce from Mailman arrives, and I appear in the Members List. So everything works fine. My problem was a permission problem :/ I've just tail -f the error log file of Mailman and I got this : IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/lists/rtcw-tux/config.pck' Well, I think my installation of Postfix is not very clean. It has been installed from the sources and I had a lot of problems to make Mailman working fine with acting as a Mailing-List manager. Anyway, this is a 'test' server. I'll try to set this system on a clean installation :) > [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the posting address of the list, i.e. > the address to which you send to have the mail resent to all the list > members.

To subscribe via e-mail send "blank" e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or send e-mail eith subject "subscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the posting address of the list, i.e. the address to which you send to have the mail resent to all the list members. Since your list has no members yet, this mail is essentially ignored. If you have set up your web server properly, you should also be able to subscribe by going to something like http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo/mynewsletter and you should be able to adjust the various list settings at http://www.example.com/mailman/admin/mynewsletter -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Using Mailman for Newsletters
Hi! I'm new on this list, and sorry if my english sound funny but I'm french and my english is far to be perfect ;) I plan to use Mailman to set up a Newsletter system. I'll have to define 2 or 3 differents Newsletters. I'm able to use Mailman as his first function, a powerfull mailing list system :) I've check the FAQ (http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#3.11) but I have some questions. I'm running Mailman version 2.1.4 (taken from backports.org) on a Debian Woody. 1/ I've created a list with the command "newlist mynewsletter" 2/ I've copy and paste the aliases block in my /etc/aliases and ran newaliases 3/ Once my list is created, what email address will I have to use to register on the Newsletter ? With what subject ? When I'll got it running, I'll create a form on my website to subscribe/unsubscribe on the newsletter. Actually, when I send an email on [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject "subscribe", I see the mail arriving on my server through Postfix logs but I don't receive any confirmation mail back and no new entry in the Membership List. Thanks in advance for your help.
