Hi, I'm working on a fresh install with Mailman 2.0.1, Python 2.0 and Apache 1.3.14 on a Solaris 2.6 box. I can't reach the administrative web page for my lists. Each time I enter the passwd (in myhost/mailman/admin/mylist) I receive a "Authentication failed" message followed by the password

[Mailman-Users] amending (you can do this) someone's email address

2001-01-12 Thread Christopher VanOosterhout
In fact, Mailman does include a function to do this. You can use the command line clone_member command and not only change for a specific list but for all lists hosted by a particular Mailman program. Chris At 10:24 AM 1/12/2001 +, Phil Riding wrote: on 10/1/01 3:14 am, Steve McDonald

[Mailman-Users] removing articles from mailman archive

2001-01-12 Thread Brian J. Atkisson
I hoping someone can help here... I need to purge last year's articles from a mailman list. I already tried: rm -rf $prefix/archives/private/listname $prefix/bin/arch listname However, this didn't work. When I ran the arch command, it simply rebuilt the entire archive. I would be grateful

Well, sorta. clone_member means you end up with user 'b' who has the same attributes as user 'a', but it doesn't get rid of user 'a'. clone_member followed by a remove_members might be pretty painless, though; nice find. Christopher VanOosterhout wrote: In fact, Mailman does include a

You're a god, Bob! I've modified the scriptlet so you can pass the name of the list, the aliases line should look like: listname-unsub: "|/home/mailman/test-unsub listname" and the line changed in the script: ladr="$[EMAIL PROTECTED]" #list -request address That's it!

[Mailman-Users] How do I get the from address?

2001-01-12 Thread Satya
How do I get the address from which the mail was sent, if I want to reply with a confirmation request? Is it acceptable to parse the From: header for the following Perl regexp: .*(|\w)\@(|\w) And the resulting match would be the address to which I can reply? -- Satya.

It's almost always more complicated than you think. See formail, for instance, or the rfc822 stuff in Python/Mailman. I think your algorithm would be too simple. How do I get the address from which the mail was sent, if I want to reply with a confirmation request? Is it acceptable to parse
