I think this could be a case of P3P being implemented. http://www.w3.org/P3P/p3pfaq.html http://www.w3.org/P3P/ don't you?

Forgive me if I missed the answer here: but technically, who is at fault? - the browsers - mailman - the cookie specs for being ambiguous ?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Web interfase saves no settings or info!
This is definitely a Frequently Asked Question... Undoubtedly you are using Konqueror as your web browser. Konqueror cannot handle the new cookie layout (in version 2.0.8). Since it mis-reads the cookie, the authentication it sends when you Post is incorrect. Thus none of your changes are accepted. Use Netscape and your problems will be gone. Newer versions of IE have the same problem, but the work around for IE is to set the web site with your Mailman install to "Trusted". I have no idea why that works... except maybe it reads in the cookie without filtering it for bad things.

[Mailman-Users] Web interfase saves no settings or info!
Hi. I've setup mailman a couple other time in the past year and it worked near flawlessly except for a few tiny things that were worked out. I've installed 2.0.8 on a new (Mandrake Linux) system just yesterday. It all installed fine as always, and I made lists and sent some mails to them. So it appeared to work. So I went to the web interface to start to configure them and add the users to the lists. Here's where the problem started. I put in all the info and hit "Submit Your Changes" and it went to that next page as normal but none of my changes were accepted. So I tried non-useradd features and the same thing happened... nothing was saving! I've checked permissions to make sure the mailman group had access to all the files in his home directory. I even decided to start from scratch and completely reinstall but that produced the same results. I can't imagine that there is something so drastically different from my old installs (of 2.0.6) compared to now that I can't figure it out. Can anyone make any suggestions? I have gone through all of the web & mailman logs and they are reporting no errors related to the mailman account or directories or permissions. It all appears perfectly correct. Please advise. -ted -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
