I've recently started doing some work for ntp.org (as the listmaster, postmaster, & PGP keymaster), and last week we cut over to mailman (2.1.2) from majordomo. Overall, we are very happy.
However, there are some things we've run across that we've got some questions on, and I haven't found any obvious answers in the mailman FAQ, etc.... I hope you don't mind if I ask them here.
First, I want to change the notice that gets sent back when non-subscribers submit a message to a specific mailing list. The generic message is okay for most of them, but one in particular needs different text.
Going to the appropriate mailman/admin/list page for the list in question, and then down to "Privacy Options" and "Sender Filters", there appears to be a "member_moderation_notice" that would appear to be applicable in this case. I've put in the modified text I want to send back, but it's not being used.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I might be doing wrong? I guess I could edit mailman/templates/en/postheld.txt directly, but I'd prefer not to do that. For one thing, I want this change for just one list and not all of them, and I'd prefer not to even try to think about what would need to be done for the other languages.
Secondly, when using the moderation tools to accept a message that has been held, we've noticed that the "Date:" header gets slightly munged. We see:
Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2003 22:37:43 +-400 (EDT)
When it should be:
Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2003 22:37:43 +0400 (EDT)
This only appears in the full raw archives, and in the messages that are sent out via e-mail.
Third, I've noticed that the only opportunity to change the mailing list name (mainly the capitalization) is when the list is being initially generated. Visiting the appropriate admin page and changing the field where it says "The public name of this list (make case-changes only)." does not seem to have any impact.
Thanks for any advice or assistance that you can provide! If there are FAQ or other documentation files I've missed where these issues are discussed, I would appreciate any and all pointers you can provide.
