[Mailman-Users] no publicly-advertised Mailman mailing lists error
I'm trying to move an existing Mailman 2.1.9 (with ht://Dig patches integrated) from an old machine running RHEL 3 Update 9 onto a newer machine running RHEL 5 Update 3. I've copied everything across that I can find, but when I go to the main .../mailman/ list info page on the new machine, I get a page saying There currently are no publicly-advertised Mailman mailing lists on [new host]. Obviously on the present host I get all the current lists, delineated. Oddly, if I go to an individual list page, it works for both the new and the old servers. Even the ht://Dig archives page works for both. It just seems to be the main list info page that isn't working. Obviously I've overlooked one(?) small thing someplace - what is it?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Unable to receive Zimbra-generated mail forwardedby Mailman
Unfortunately, I don't control the installations of Mailman where this is happening, and each of those supports a wide variety of mailing lists that have many digest subscribers. Fortunately, one of the Mailman developers is on the case, and I hope your message will point him in a useful direction. Pete Smith At 01:03 PM 4/6/2009, Jim wrote: Hi Pete - we just had a similar problem here last week (not with Zimbra, but with Entourage). When a newsletter was sent via regular mail, it looked fine in Entourage. When it was sent through the mailing list, it was crap. When we compared the source code of each message, we found one tiny difference. Some extra code was added by Mailman. So what we did to fix it is we went into [Digest Options] and blanked out the stuff in Footer added to every digest. That seemed to do the trick. It eliminated those 3 lines of code that Entourage had such trouble rendering. It seems to stick them in every message, even if you have no digest users. After figuring this out (it took us like a week of experimenting) I was able to find this in the Mailman archives (I just wasn't searching for the right things), so others have had this problem too.

[Mailman-Users] setting up the mailing list
Our organization wants to set up a mailing list in a very generic fashion. We would like to list the board members as approved members using the generic emails we have set up: presid...@ourwebsite.org vicepresid...@outwebsite.org etc... We have a forwarder set up through our website (hosted by Lunarpages--don't know if that matters) that associates the generic email address to the personal email account for the board member, so if a email sent to presid...@ourwebsite.org is received it's forwarded to the appropriate personal account. Is there something analogous in mailman to associate a personal email account with the generic account on incoming posts to the board? Like an alias, but looking at the From: field and translating it to the generic account like presid...@ourwebsite.org. I hope this makes sense.
