Yes you can :-) but you have to learn somethnig about cron... man 5 crontab should enougth for now ;-) To avoid the passwd reminder do
crontab -e -u mailman (your mailman user) then comment this line. # 5 AM on the first of each month, mail out password reminders. 0 5 1 * * /usr/bin/python -S /usr/lib/mailman/cron/mailpasswds nelson -----Original Message----- From: Doug Piper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sun 01-Feb-04 19:17 To: Nélson Jorge Teixeira de Brito Cc: Subject: RE: [Mailman-Users] RE: Period Mailings;Like Birthday Announcements using Mailmail Thanks for your answer. I was hoping there I could maybe leverage-off the existing password mailing that goes every 30-days. I'm unfamiliar with CRON. Where can I learn more about it? Doug Piper Woven Electronics P.O.

It will be more usefull for sure. regards, nb -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Paul H Byerly Sent: Sun 01-Feb-04 18:32 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: [Mailman-Users] RE: Period Mailings;Like Birthday Announcements using Mailmail doug wrote: >I've been using Yahoo Groups, but have tired of the all the ads.

I've been playing with this a bit - I was going to use the edit html pages to make it easy for list managers, but so far I've not cracked it. Another option, probably a better one, would be to set up a PHP calender program and add links to it on some of the admin pages. Unfortunately learning PHP is still on my to do list. <>< Paul ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/ntbrito%40fc.up.pt ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/doug%40hyperpiper.com ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
