[Mailman-Users] Send mail through web interface.
Hi, I want to add some functionality to send an e-mail to a list in MailMan through a web page. For anyone to reach this web page they will have to be authenticated as a subscriber of the list. The web page will send an e-mail to the list from a hidden e-mail address which will be the only e-mail address that is allowed to post messages to the list. The reason for this is that the list should be as private as possible. Could anyone give me some hints as to where to start? Specifically: * Authenticate that the user is a subscriber of the list * Send an e-mail from a web page on a linux server Thanks very much in advance!

That would almost certainly require modifying the Python source code, but I couldn't tell you where that would need to be done.

[Mailman-Users] Instructions: Upgrading Mailman On Mac OS X Server 10.3
Hi,
After a ridiculous amount of struggle, I've successfully upgraded
Mailman on Mac OS X 10.3 Server where it will work with Apple's Server
Admin application and also by the web interface. There may be a better
way, but here's what I did, which at the very least shows the essential
files (two of them apple-specific, which is why it's been a pain to
upgrade from source).
1) Backup your current Mailman folders in case you screw this up.
Mailman is split between two locations:
/usr/share/mailman
/private/var/mailman
2) Copy apple_config_list and get_list_info from /usr/share/mailman/bin
.
I tarred these files and put them on my desktop with
tar -cvf ~/Desktop/binfiles.tar apple_config_list get_list_info
3) Rename your current /usr/share/mailman directory
3) Download Mailman source.
4) Configure mailman with the following command (modify this to fit
your server). It assumes that gid 78 is mailman and gid 70 is www.
./configure --prefix=/usr/share/mailman --with-var-prefix
--with-mail-gid=78 --with-cgi-gid=70 --with-mailhost={your server's
name} --with-urlhost={your server's name}
5) Run sudo make install.
6) Extract the files you copied in (2) into /usr/share/mailman/bin I
copied the tar into bin, and the extracted:
cd /usr/share/mailman/bin
sudo cp ~/Desktop/binfiles.tar .
sudo tar -xvf binfiles.tar
sudo rm binfiles.tar
7) Change configuration parameters in your new installation:
Add MTA = 'Postfix' to the end of /usr/share/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
(or just replace it with the old mm_cfg.py)
Change VAR_PREFIX from '/var/mailman' to '/private/var/mailman' in
Defaults.py
(this shouldn't actually matter)
8) Open Disk First Aid. Repair permissions. You should be good to go!

That's a configuration issue with fetchmail. How do you configure it to download e-mail and pass it on to any other user? Well, do the same for all the mailman mailing lists. But this isn't an issue that we can help you with.
