Re: [Mailman-Users] list_members when listname has a period

[Mark Dale]

Thanks Mark and Steve.

It is indeed as you said - the real listname was not the advertised 
listname.


The list has now been moved, named as it should be, and all is well.

Regards,
Mark

Any clues from anyone would be greatly appreciated.



I just verified that it works for me.

As Steve suggests, if this is cPanel or possibly some other virtual
hosting patched Mailman, the name may include a domain.

I.e., if it's cPanel, the listname could be something like
acme.widgets_virt.domain.

What is the contents if the $PATH/lists/ directory?

What operating system is used by your host?  What is your MTA?  Are
you using a service manager such as cPanel or Plesk?  Have you applied
any patches to Mailman?

While I cannot rule out a Mailman problem, as far as I know embedded
periods in list names should work in recent Mailman 2.1.  However,
operating systems and service configuration managers often distribute
Mailman with patches.  If patches are used to improve Mailman's
compatibility with virtual hosting, it's possible that the list's real
name is different from the apparent name, and that the withlist
scripts haven't been updated correctly to handle both virtual hosts
and list post addresses with embedded periods.
