[Mailman-Users] Using Mailman for Newsletters

2012-08-29 Thread Peter D Sparkes

Hi

I am currently using exim4 on Linux Debian and intend to install Mailman.

Mailman Requirements::

 * Collect email addresses
 *   Send out newsletters
 * No subscriber to have access to the list
 * administrator to be able to add, delete email addresses.
 * Only administrator to be able to send newsletters/emails to list members.

From the documentation I can't see how to configure Mailman to meet these 
requirements.

Help please

Peter

[Mailman-Users] Weird characters in private archive

2012-08-29 Thread Birta Levente

Hi all

I use mailman 2.1.12 with centos 6.3.
I have a list with romanian default language. If the archive is public I 
have no problems, but if it's private, not shows the specific romanian 
characters.

Someone can help me out with this?

Thanks

Levi

Did you see the wiki?

The archive consists of static pages in Mailman's
archives/private/LISTNAME/-M/ directories. There is one page
per archived message with a name like nn.html where nn is the
archived message number. The actual message text in these pages for a
Romanian language list should be encoded in Mailman's character set
for Romanian which is iso-8859-2.

Are you saying that if you access a page from the same web browser via
a URL like http://www.example.com/pipermail/mylist/.html, it looks
as it should, but if you access the same page via
http://www.example.com/mailman/private/mylist/.html (you can do
this even if the archive is public), it doesn't display the Romanian
characters.

If that's what you are saying, I don't know why this would be except it
could have something to do with the web server adding a Content-Type:
header with an incompatible charset setting (as in Apache's
AddDefaultCharset setting).

If you are looking at different messages from the same or different
lists, try accessing the same message both ways as above. If you see a
difference when you do that, it has something to do with the way the
private CGI serves the page versus serving it as a static html file,
and we can investigate further. If you don't see a difference when you
do that, the issue is probably that different messages archived at
different times or for different lists had a different character set
in the archive files.

Re: [Mailman-Users] empty gateway archive

 cron/gate_news normally logs nothing, but if there is any exception or
 other output, it will be mailed to the address specified in a MAILTO=
 setting in the crontab or if none, to the user it ran under which is
 normally the 'mailman' list.


Actually, that is not correct. Mailman has a logs/fromusenet log an
cron/gate_news logs various errors in that log as well as logging the
usenet message numbers of messages posted to the mail list or the fact
that there were no new messages. I.e., cron/gate_news logs quite a lot.
