[Mailman-Users] Configuration

2002-12-01 Thread Edwin Humphries
I'm a relative newbie, trying to set up Mailman on a RH7.2 box. I've installed into the default locations, tested as suggested, and set up a "test" list. My mailbox receives the "Your new mailing list" message. Clicking on the links gets a 404 message. I've enabled the execcgi in httpd.conf fo

2002-12-01 Thread Peter Turner
Is there any way to include additional fields in the subscription form for a list? We are running a list where the list manager's approval is needed for those subscribing and it would help to have the subscribers name, etc. before approving for list membership. Many thanks Peter Peter Turner, I

Now that I have fixed the log and permission problems, I have come across another one that I haven't seen posted anywhere.

It doesn't do a complete job of obscuring email addresses in archived email. 1. Some email clients use the users' email address as the base of the message-id. 2. Mailmain doesn't obscure email addresses in the body, so if this message were archived, then [EMAIL PROTECTED] would appear in the

I believe you will find that the Command Line Interface will handle everything you need. In particular you might want to look at "sync_members" http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.009.htp On Wed, 2002-11-27 at 11:00, Jim Smith wrote: > Hi... > > I have a Perl-based orga

This question has been answered many times. If it is not in the FAQ then it is certainly in the archives of the list - look at the footer of any message from the list for links to both the FAQ and the Archives. Basically, you should consider using Postfix in place of sendmail for your MTA. Postfi

Could it be what the error says it is: a permissions problem? Have you run the ~mailman/bin/check_perms program from Mailman? In particular you need to look at the owner/group for the ~mailman/locks directory and its rights mask. I suspect that you may have more problems than just that. You might

>From what you have said below, this seems to be a problem with your MTA and not related to mailman. Especially since your logs indicate that the mail goes out. You might check for a local routing problem - or that your aliases file has been properly setup. Good Luck. On Sun, 2002-12-01 at 07:2

This comes up often enough that I think it's in the FAQ. Basically you can delete the directories associated with the list and that's that. The following directories are created when you create a list: ~mailman/lists/ ~mailman/archives/private/ ~mailman/archives/private/.mbox ~mailman/arch
