Hi,
I just installed Mailman on an elderly Pentium box (P200,
64 MB RAM, Red Hat 7.1) on which we plan to
start running a few informational newsletters (~3x400 subs).
Now, we're going to introduce Mailman to our potential
listadmins, does anyone know if there is
a/ a step-by-step instruction
I recently upgraded mailman from 2.0.2 to 2.0.8. I performed the upgrade
by sucessively patching the source and running make install.
I checked a few lists and all looked well.
One of my large lists which is set up as an announce-only lost all of its
privacy cusotmizations. Password reminders
Does anyone know an online resource that discusses how to make modifications
to Mailman field tags?
I want to change the text of some of the Mailman fields. Thank you.

Its a little difficult to say much without knowing how much list
traffic
My issue is not with its sending speed (in fact it still nice and
fast) but with sheer management issues.
It is a 10K+ list that is for outgoing announcements.. 1-4 week of about
4K...
DNS and MTA are non issues.. I have my own name servers and a heavily
customized PostFix as well as softupdate

How long does it take to add/delete an individual member?
FWIW, in my experience, the delay isn't mailman. It's disk I/O. Almost all
of the time spent in this operation is in Disk I/O.
Let's not solve the wrong problem here. The problem as stated is that it
takes too long to edit the config.db file. So long in fact, that it can no
longer be done via the web interface.
Contributing factors to this are the size of the list, hence the size of the
database, the disk subsystem the
There is a problem with certain headers that is corrected in v2.07 of
Mailman (which is now at v2.08).
For now, try to delete (or move to a temp directory) the next message in
that queue waiting to be processed (take a good guess). Later, when you
have time, upgrade to version 2.08

Hey ho,
I've a strange error in bin/check_perms after

If so, is the prefix setup properly? Are the rights setup properly?

I may have jumped the gun on this. The files in question are staying in
queue, but I'm getting reports from some of the subscribers that they are
being recieved multiple times, even though the file stil resides in the

Does mailman have a feature where users can reply to messages, or

useful companion feature would be the ability to have subscribers who

In /etc/mail/sendmail.mc you should have:
FEATURE(`smrsh',`/usr/sbin/smrsh')dnl #(your smrsh may be installed in another dir)
This feature enables sendmail to use sendmail restricted shell. Sendmail simply
references the FEATURE value when attempting to execute programs in the aliases.
I was going to implement this, and I still may in the future.
What I did was to make the link at the top of the message (ReplyTo) be a real
reply-to, with the subject and message ID embedded into the link.
