I installed Mailman 2.0.8 on my Linux box and the install was
unproblematic. However, when I set up a new test list (mm-test),
mailman was unable to confirm subscription requests -- replies sent to
mm-test-request generated an OS error; specifically:

i think i'll try using procmail to filter instead. it sounds simpler.

Hmmm, the next thing I would check would be the database to see if it is
corrupt... there is a ~mailman/bin/.. command that lets you do that.
Are there any entries in the ~mailman/logs/... that happen at that time?
Have you checked your servers resources: memory, hd space, etc..?

Oddly enough, this is under the Archival section of the web-admin...
You can turn it off there. Then, if you want to remove all the old

Richard,
I remember someone (Chuq I think) suggesting this in the past. But
it looks to me like this would set up sendmail to ONLY listen on your
port, and no longer listen for "normal" mail on 25 (actually, I
think I tested this the last time it came up).

There's no builtin limit. Lists up to a few thousand don't present any
serious problems. Any bigger than that, and you have to carefully tune
your MTA and Mailman in concert. See the FAQ at

we're getting too much spam to the list -- it's getting to be a hardship.
currently, we don't allow non-members to post to the list. a non-member

is there a way to just reject these postings without admin intervention?

I saw this in the mailman FAQ for tuning sendmail:
You can do this without modifying your sendmail files at all. Instead, in
your startup script, add:

Thanks for the suggestions,
Under /$prefix/mailman/bin/ there a command called 'clone_member' see if
thats what you need.
clone_member
Use this script to clone an address on a particular list into different
address. This is useful when someone is changing email addresses and wants
to keep all their old configuration options
