When emails are sent through exim to the address [EMAIL PROTECTED], they are actually accepted by mailman and delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. This is obviously incorrect.

[Mailman-Users] How can our MM site admin see unadvertised lists via web interface?
If I am the site Mailman admin for my Mailman site, using the web interface, how can I see the lists of all my site's lists, including the unadvertised lists? I find that if I go to the MM admin page for my site, it says, There currently are no publicly-advertised Mailman mailing lists on mysite.jhu.edu. To visit the administrators configuration page for an unadvertised list, open a URL similar to this one, but with a '/' and the list name appended. However, there is at least one list on the site, but it is set not to 'advertise'. As the site admin, I can log into this specific unadvertised list from the web and make changes. But, I have to know ahead of time that this list is actually on our MM server. So, as site admin, how can I use the web interface to see the entire set of lists, advertised and unadvertised, on my MM server via the web, so that I know what lists I have to choose from? I thought I used to be able to do this on an old install of Mailman we used to have, but I can't seem to find any docs or FAQ entries that describe how to do it. (I know I can get the list of all MM mail lists at the command line, but if I'm working remotely via the web, I'd like not to have to log into the MM server machine at a command prompt and have to run the MM commands just to see all the lists on our server.)

By trying to point the install at your build you're going to step all over what you've built as it installs. It's equivalent to trying to copy a file onto itself :-( I still don't see the ./scripts/subscribe script. The subscribe script is just a copy of the join script (unsubscribe is a copy of leave). The part of install that copied the existing scripts worked, the part that installed copies of join and leave did not.

Re: [Mailman-Users] How can our MM site admin see unadvertised lists via web interface?
Even to the site admins? Was it always like that? I was chatting with another admin here today, and for some reason, we seem to remember the site admin being able to see all lists via the web interface... mind you, that's when we were running MM about 2-3 years ago, and we just might be remembering something else. (We haven't run MM for a while now but are restarting the service and are trying to catch up.) Is there a reason why the design of Mailman doesn't allow for the web interface to display _all_ lists for a Mailman site admin only? I would think that would be a good feature to have, in that, if I wanted to configure lists remotely as the site admin (as opposed to a list admin), I'd want to see the names of all the lists, advertised or not.

Wow. Great question. I'm new here and would love to know how to add archives from my old list server to the Mailman database. My archive became searchable without my doing anything. Google crawled it all by itself. Try copying the url of your archive. Go to Google's advanced search. Look for a search term in that url. If it works, you can easily build a form that uses Google to search your archive.
