I didn't realize it was going to *this* difficult! Thank you for your time. Well, first off, where do you feel stuck? What kind of system do you have, and how are you thinking of installing it? I'm willing to help, but you need to start somewhere. The truth is, you do need a fair bit of basic understanding of Unix commands and OS structure, how your mailer program works (sendmail/exim/postfix), how e-mail in general works, as well as some knowledge of Apache, too. Without this basic knowledge, installing and setting up Mailman might well be impossible. I'd suggest if you don't have this knowledge, find someone local who does, who can install it for you.

That sounds quite nice and you same all the time and space that htdig uses to create the wordlist files. On the other hand htdig should be faster. Few (none that I know of, except for the rarely used Microsoft MCIS IMAP Server) IMAP servers index the mailboxes for fast searching. This means that searching over large archives is going to be expensive (in time and disk activity). Using an indexing solution such as htdig is probably a better solution, especially for active lists. alex -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

Re: [Mailman-Users] mailman question
All those in favor of changing this error message to read something like: Mailman CGI error!!! Mailman was compiled to use GID 48, but the web server is running as GID 99. You must run ./configure again --with-cgi-gid=99, as described in the INSTALL document that came with this distribution, and recompile. raise your hand.

[Mailman-Users] why is only admin getting messages
Currently, new list members can sign on our list, but when a listmember tries to post a message to the list, only the administrator gets the message. The list is suppose to be moderated (i.e. Must posts be approved by the administrator? Yes). If a list member tries to post a message, the administrator does not receive notification that administrator authorization is required. Rather the admin receives a copy of the posted message. Is this the way it is supposed to work? I thought that the administrator should get notification, then visit the Tend to administrative requests page, and either approve or not approve the post.
