[Mailman-Users] Member Options Page
Hi I don't know if anyone can help, but when I edit the Member Options HTML page, everything displays fine. For 10 minutes that is. After that, if I go check, it has reverted back to the original page. When I go to the edit page to change it again, it is still how I left it. Then if I click the Submit your changes button, and check the page, it is how I changed it, albeit for only 10 minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. PLEEASE!!!

[Mailman-Users] locks
I am very new to all of this including using Mailman, Linux, Sendmail, etc... I have Mialman 2.0.13-1 on Red Hat Linux using Sendmail as the MTA. It has worked a few times, but right now when I send my announcement it fails.

[Mailman-Users] x.509 cert authentication for web interface?
Hi all. I'm wondering if anybody has devised a way to authenticate to the admin/moderator interfaces in Mailman using browser certificates. We try to use them to authenticate to web services wherever possible, and have a fairly widely deployed PKI at my site. It seems like this should be possible, but I really don't know python and am not very familiar with Mailman's code. We use Apache and mod_ssl, which means that we can make a bunch of environment variables associated with the certificates available to Mailman. In particular, we can find out the email address of the user. It seems like we should be able to look for that email address in the list of admin or moderator addresses and consider the user to be authenticated if it's there. The web server is already doing the necessary work to verify that the certificate is valid, so everything presented to Mailman should be trustworthy. Any help would be much appreciated. noah -- Noah Meyerhans System Administrator MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- 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

Hi. I'm the list administrator for a listserv that goes out weekly to about 2000 email addresses. Each week I receive about 15-20 bounced emails.

[Mailman-Users] Cannot get GUI to work
We are setting up Mailman 2.1.4 for testing and review on a Red Hat Linux Enterprise 3.0 system. Mailman installed OK and usr/local/mailman/bin/check_perms produced no errors. So unto Step 4. Final system set-up. However here is where we run into problems. We are trying to interface Mailman with Apache but cannot get the Mailman GUI to run. Per the instructions httpd.conf was edited to include: ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/ Directory /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin AllowOverride None Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory The ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/ and its Directory definition were commented out. The web server was started with apachectl start. Browsing into our machine we get only: Index of / with no files listed. Also DocumentRoot and Directory were experimented with: DocumentRoot /var/www/html was changed to DocumentRoot /usr/local/mailman and Directory /var/www/html was changed to Directory /usr/local/mailman Making this change resulted in the browser to display all the files in /usr/local/mailman. Clicking on the cgi-bin directory resulted in Forbidden Access. A listing of /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin shows the following files. admin admindb confirm create edithtml listinfo options private rmlist roster subscribe We thought there should be .cgi files or an index.html file in there. How do we point to the file that starts the GUI interface? Since we are just new to this environment the answer may right in front of us and we can't see it.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Install - Virtuals
Hello, I've just installed mailman and I'm not sure where The web page for users of your mailing list (the link in the email received when creating a new list) is in relationship to the $prefix directory. Also, do I have to create any virtuals for admin web pages or archives or any others? I've read and reread the install doc several times and haven't seen anything indicating that I need to. I have made a few virtuals just to try to narrow it down and check them out from a web page. One to the $prefix/templates, $prefix/lists, and the $prefix/public directory (which has soft links pointing towards the lists in the private directory). In the lists that are in the private directory, each has a config.pck, config.pck.last, or request.db. I'm thinking maybe I'm not browsing the correct directory. Please shed some light.

[Mailman-Users] Migrate lists from 2.0.5 to 2.1.4
Hi, I'm setting up a new system with newer OS and 2.1.4 version of mailman and need to migrate the old lists to the new server with archive data. I would really appreciate if someone could guide me through how to get this done. I have tried to move the /home/mailman/listls/~/* files and /home/mailman/archive/~/* to the new system and ran update but the old lists are not using the new features of 2.1.4. In other words and lists created on 2.1.4 have different view on the web page than the ones migrated from the old server. Thank you for your in advance. Anandha __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [Mailman-Users] x.509 cert authentication for web interface?
On Fri, 2004-01-30 at 14:03, Noah Meyerhans wrote: Hi all. I'm wondering if anybody has devised a way to authenticate to the admin/moderator interfaces in Mailman using browser certificates. We try to use them to authenticate to web services wherever possible, and have a fairly widely deployed PKI at my site. It seems like this should be possible, but I really don't know python and am not very familiar with Mailman's code. We use Apache and mod_ssl, which means that we can make a bunch of environment variables associated with the certificates available to Mailman. In particular, we can find out the email address of the user. It seems like we should be able to look for that email address in the list of admin or moderator addresses and consider the user to be authenticated if it's there. The web server is already doing the necessary work to verify that the certificate is valid, so everything presented to Mailman should be trustworthy. Any help would be much appreciated. noah Dude, Just move the script alias inside the ssl part of your httpd.conf. -- 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

Re: [Mailman-Users] Can I set up a user-friendly write-to address?
thanks John, yes, I can see where you're going with that.

When forwarding one email address to another for Mailman, under some circumstances you have to worry about the implicit address problem. As I understand it, this is when the real address of the list isn't in the To: or CC: This has happened when I moved a list from one machine to another and simply forwarded all mail to the new address. The answer, in this case, is to go to the Privacy - Recipient Filters section and add alternate email addresses users may send to to the list of aliases.
