[Mailman-Users] Not getting aliases, owner notification on newlist

Hi all, hope someone can help... I've been using Mailman 2.1.6 for some time now that I happily compiled and installed from source on my own server. Now I've needed to move to another server and at first I took the opportunity to upgrade to 2.1.9. But the OutgoingRunner NEVER worked - logg

[Mailman-Users] Spam of sorts

Folks You may recall over the weekend I was lamenting the fact that my lists are getting spammed with with replies going back to somewhere (and being determined as spam by some of the over zealous spam detectors). So Paul Tomblin, suggested setting the system to discard the messages, and for the

The firewall was fine... the problem was that, for some reason, the hosts file did not have world read privileges! Thanks for the assistance - your question led me to further telnet localhost 25 testing. I'd done it as root and it worked... I hadn't tried it as a non-root user (brain failure at

Re: [Mailman-Users] owner/moderator requests not sent

Thanks so much for your assistance. I just needed to set 'hostname this list prefers' to servername.domain.com rather than just domain.com. We have most of our mail on another sever that is set to domain.com and will send emails for the mailman lists on to the mailman server at servername.domain.

[Mailman-Users] Lock Files

Can anyone think of a reason that one list might use lock files, but other's wouldn't. I have about 5 lists, and when mailman is started a lock file (or two) is created for the list. listname.lock and listname.lock.webserver..0 This particular list is very slow when navigating the admin pages
