[Mailman-Users] Quoted-printable in the Web interface for the poor moderator [netaktiv.com #104]

2002-05-02 Thread Stephane Bortzmeyer

A client of us is unhappy of the Web page he sees as a moderator. When
people send email encoded in quoted-printable (they should not but we
do not have enough bullets to get rid of all Outlook users), the
moderator sees =E9 and other awful things on the Web page.

Could the Web interface of Mailman handle the problem? Since
quoted-printable is not a Web thing, Mailman should, IMHO.

Or should I add a de-quoter program in front of Mailman like explained
in:

http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#4.13

If so, does anyone have a good one to share (very robust, handle
multiparts, preferrably written in Python, etc)? Most programs at the
above URL strip MIME parts but do not transcode quoted-printable in
8-bits.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Yet another virtual domain question

Anyway, it will not work. Since Mailman identifies lists by the name
(without @domain.com), if you need a second test list in another
domain, you'll have no way to do it.

 When I attempt to subscribe via the web I get the subscription
 message which comes from [EMAIL PROTECTED], but when I reply
 to confirm, I get a postfix user not found error, and it says
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the address that can't be found.

People who requests help for free on a mailing list should at least
try not to hide information. If you give the actual names and not
fakes, I could study the case (I suspect myvirtual.com is actually a
CNAME).

Remember that there is absoutely no pointer to this second FAQ, from

 Short story:
 
   A single installation is fine as long as list names don't collide.

Which means it does not work. Can you imagine
postfix/qmail/sendmail/whatever saying, we support virtual addresses,
as long as the names are different?

See the thread True virtual domains.

[Mailman-Users] True virtual domains [netaktiv.com #99]

2002-04-08 Thread Stephane Bortzmeyer

We are an ISP and we have several clients requesting a mailing
list. Often, the names collide. No problems with email addresses, we
know how to configure Postfix to have [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] point to different mailboxes.

But I cannot do the same with Mailman. Mailing lists are apparently
unique, whatever the domain is. So, I must create info-company and
info-npo and set a different host_name for each list. Not a big deal
except that this name appears in messages sent and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is not really elegant.

I tried changing real_name. As its documentation said, it is
discouraged and, indeed, it does not work (the original name still
appears in messages).

 OK via the web page but no confirmation email is sent and they are not added

Forwarding it on the list would have been a good idea...
  
 Any ideas on what I may have not carried out during the installation.

Thanks to Matthew Malthouse and John W Baxter, the solution is to use
the site password (I know it).

The trick is that the admin Web page asks you for the Current
password of the list and, since I do not know it, I had to give the
present SITE password. Then, in the New password field, I indicate
the new LIST password. Confusing but it works (Thou can use the site
password each time the list password is asked)

 This, too, is answered in the FAQ.

No, the FAQ URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/faq.html does
not mention changing passwords.

Great, there are two FAQ and the second one is referenced from the

ignored :-(

And why at python.org and not on Mailman's site?

I've seen the problem with Konqueror but it was apparently because I
changed the URL in the list configuration and Mailman was confused by
the old cookie. Suppressing the cookie solved the problem (try with a
fresh browser, one which does not have the cookie, to be sure).

I'm trying to move many lists from one machine to another. Is it

I noticed in the Site Administrator Documentation the script move_file
