Re: [Mailman-Users] Questions on 'List Renaming' & Misc.
Mark, again a million 'Thank You's'! Regarding the Automated bounce processing, can I just disable this? If so, should an email message 'bounce' how will I be notified if I disable the 'automated bounce processing option? I guess in this case, I do want to have interaction and intervene manually.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Questions on 'List Renaming' & Misc.
Mark; Thanks again for all of the help and patience. In regards to this list actually being an "announcement" list...you're absolutely right and I'm now going through the link you provided. Here's what I now plan on doing, based on your suggestions/feedback and the information on the link you provided; - Create a new list. - Under the membership management page, I'll set the Additional Member Tasks to turn on the mod flag for all users. That way if anyone sends a msg to the list, including me...it will sit and wait in the queue until I release it. Which is nice, especially if I goof up and accidentally send it out. - Disable monthly password reminders. - Strip out the List footer that's automatically added to each message that's sent out. Other than what I've listed above, is their anything else that I might be missing? For example, since the goal here is for everyone to NOT know that they are on some sort of list...are their any other daily/monthly/occasional msgs that Mailman MIGHT send out to the list other than password reminders? Also, with this type of List and what I want to accomplish, how can 'automatic bounce-message processing' either help or hinder my goals? Thanks again for all of the help!

[Mailman-Users] Questions on 'List Renaming' & Misc.
Regarding an earlier question on changing the headers; I guess something similar can be achieved by; - Changing the name of the list, to something less obvious - Enabling the 'Moderated' option for all users by default, so that way anyone that attempts to post to the list...will not be able to. It will sit in queue instead and wait for me to release it Does this sound ok? Is there a better way to achieve something like this? What are your thoughts? Also, can I easily "change the name of the list" from the Mailman UI or do I have to create a new one? One more thing, since I'm still a big n00be on email related stuff; What are the advantages of setting up a mailing list such as this, instead of copying and pasting tons of email addresses in the 'bcc' field? I've noticed that when I have done the 'copy & paste' method, I get delivery failures/bounce messages, because I'm sending to way too many recipients. Is this one way how a mailing list provides a greater advantage? Just sending to one email address instead of many?

[Mailman-Users] Question about 'Footer' that is automatically added by MailMan & Members List Info
Greetings All; I'm a band new user to MailMan and I have a few quick questions. 1.) Questions On Footer In a few test messages that I've sent out with MailMan, I notice that MailMan adds a footer, something like this: ___ %(real_name)s mailing list %(real_name)[EMAIL PROTECTED](host_name)s %(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s Now in your FAQ, it does give some examples of variables that are used in order to generate the footer. My question is, if I want to totally edit the footer and possibly add let's say a jpeg/gif to it...is this possible? If so, how? If I want to completely strip out the footer, so it either shows no information or the footer is not even added...is this possible? If so, how? 2.) Questions On Members List Within the MailMan WebUI it allows me to view the Members List. I can also go to the specific WebUI for each specific Mailing List and view the member info there. My question is, is there a way to 'download' or 'export' this information in plain ascii/text format? Is this information already kept in a similar format somewhere in the MailMan directories? FYI, I have a VPS Server running Fedora-Core 2. I have full root/ssh access as well and I'm utilizing MailMan through the cPanel interface. Thanks ahead of time!
