[Mailman-Users] MM 2.1.3 digests keep failing to go out
I have three active Mailman 2.1.3 mailing lists at my email-hosting provider, http://www.ricochehost.com The Mailman is on their servers as part of cPanel, a webhosting control panel interface ( http://www.cpanel.net ). Every few weeks, the digests simply stop going out, and the admin there fixes this by reinstalling Mailman each time. But I won't have him keep doing that. I have been sending the digests manually as a stopgap, but doing so is tedious. Does any of you have any idea what might be causing Mailman to stop sending digests, and how it might fixed? Thanks in advance.

I still wonder if there is anywhere I can get this level of docs short of installing the software? Sorry, I didn't have the time to google 'til now. Perhaps http://www.washington.edu/computing/mailman/owners/configuration.html will help you: it's a list of options and ther meaning. http://www.washington.edu/computing/mailman/ looks like a quite good documentation for mailman beginners, even if it is specific for the University of Washington. If not, perhaps the wizards listening will consider putting it on the main webpage as an encouragement for new admins to adopt Mailman. Yep, the documentation is a bit ... sparse, as usual for many open-source projects I encountered.

[Mailman-Users] 4 things: conjugation with usenet, archivisation by arriving date, statistics, and link to the archives in archivised posts.
1. Admin of my server moved some time ago one of my lists to Mailman, but the other one he did not, because the other one is conjugated with a usenet news group, and he said that he can't do that under mailman, because in order to conjungate it in direction usenet - list the list would have to be open for everyone, or moderator would have to confirm every post send from persons not subscribed to the list. Is that true? If yes, then... ok I understand the initial legitimate idea that if usenet group is open to everyone then the list should be too, or both should be moderated. The problem is however, that to the mailing list address are coming hundreds of spams *per day* (even though spamassassin is installed), so it cannot be open. I could not also find silly enough moderator to manually delete hundreds of spams daily. The only solution is to allow private list to be conjugated with an open usenet group. I request to allow it in mailman *as soon as possible*. 2. I think that there should be an option allowing to archive mails according to date of reception of the posts by mailman, and not date set by user who sends it. That would prevent dates from the future in the archive: 2006, 2011, 2013, 2024 which you can see in this list (mailman- users) archive: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/ 3. I also would wish to see in mailman statistics of posts sent by users, i.e. how many post were sent from each e-mail address. There is such a feature in ver. 6.0d of ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas. It would be nice to have it in Mailman, too. 4. I think that there should be present a link to the main archive web page in every archivised message seen in archive, because at the moment there is only link to the subscribtion page (information page), and possibility to sort messages differently, but if I read it sorted by thread for example, I cannot go back to the begining of the thread or to the main archive web page by clicking on a link - there is no such a link, unfortunatelly.

Is that true? No. The latest version of the mailman will only allow mailing list members to post through to the newsgroup. Newsgroup postings will be allowed through without restriction. Have your admin install version 2.1.4. I think that there should be an option allowing to archive mails according to date of reception of the posts by mailman, and not date set by user who sends it.

The dates shown are those as present in the original message. If the date on the sender's machine is out-of-whack, then that's what is displayed. This could not be reasonably corrected by the receiving system, because there would be no way to know what the correct date would be -- how long was the message delayed? What time zone was it sent from? There would be too many questions to answer, for which there are no answers. I also would wish to see in mailman statistics of posts sent by users, i.e. how many post were sent from each e-mail address. There is such a feature in ver. 6.0d of ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas. It would be nice to have it in Mailman, too. That sounds like it would be a nice addition.

Like many open source projects, mailman is written by volunteers. Unfortunately, most of these people have limited time available, and have to find other ways to pay the bills. Sometimes even simple changes are more than the development team can do, because they're way behind and overwhelmed with other work. If you can provide a patch to implement this functionality, I'm sure they'd more than welcome your submission. If you can provide funding to help pay for someone else to develop such a feature, I'm sure they'd welcome that. If you are unable to help implement this functionality in some way, the best that can be hoped for is that this feature request will be put in the queue, and someday someone might be able to do it. -- Brad Knowles, [EMAIL PROTECTED] They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
