2005-06-03 Thread PeteBell
Hi. I have just gone live with my email list, and this is the first time anyone has reported a problem to me, so here it is for your comments. (First let me remind you that I do *not* have access to the Mailman installation, and I do *NOT* speak Python - apart from the Monty version!)

[Mailman-Users] Backing up list settings

2005-06-03 Thread Matthew Newton
Hi, In my system scripts, before I remove a list, I would like to backup the list including all settings and the mail archives. The machine is backed up every night, so this is just in-case. Would the following be the right sort of thing? (To restore I guess I would create a list with the same

Thank you for your comments, John. As a matter of fact that's what I ended up doing. I created a separate alias (like list-command), which pipes the message through another program, and the program then parses the message for commands (currently only subscribe/unsubscribe), and then runs the

Mark, It showed up in the 'vette' log about 30 minutes later... Strange, I've been sending to this list for awhile and it was discarded as coming from a non-member. I'm not sure what the hell changed here. From: Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: Not Very Much Date: Fri, 3 Jun
