[Mailman-Users] Missing archives and deleting archive messages.
Hello, everyone. I am experiencing two problems with my Mailman lists and wanted to ask if any of you know the solutions. Question 1: Two (2) out of the five lists I created on my Mac OS X server are not displaying their archives. I get as far as the default Mailman subscription page for these two lists but once I click on the link on top of the page that should go to the list's archives I get a blank browser page stating Safari can't find the server (I'm on a Mac). On the next line it states the following: Safari can't open the page http://domain.com/mailman/private/listname/; because Safari can't find the server domain.com. Just to make this clear, I don't believe it can't find the server since this works for the other three (3) lists I have on the server. Only two seem to be displaying this behavior. Question 2: On a few of the lists I have created I have messages in their archives that were sent just as test messages to ensure the lists were working right. I don't want to have these messages as part of the lists' archives once I have subscribers signing up for the lists. How can I (1) delete the entire archive for a list and (2) delete only specific messages ? Thank you in advance for your help.

On the next line it states the following: Safari can't open the page http://domain.com/mailman/private/listname/; because Safari can't find the server domain.com. Is the host name (domain.com) the same as the host name in the URL of the listinfo page you went to? If so, this is a Safari or Mac OS issue of some kind. If not, the list's web_page_url attribute is wrong and you need to run fix_url to fix it. See the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/mIA9.

Those nameservers point to the same address. It would appear that the HTTPD config is also returning the wrong status codes; 404 != 301.
