You say one thing and I say something relevant to that (like this). Almost all messaging happens like that (email, web fora, chat systems, SMS, etc). Do you want to prevent two-way conversation, force every message to me a new message, or what? Also, reply-all is a MUA function, not an MTA function, so changing the behavior of Mailman is kind of a band-aid solution. (That aside, you could look at the subject for a Re: or similar tag, but that's not reliable. You could look for mailman's X-BeenThere or X-Mailman-Version headers, which would be better...

You can, if it works in your OS (some OSs won't change ownership of symlinks at all), and it may get rid of the check_perms messages, but it doesn't really matter. check_perms doesn't deal well with symlinks, it complains about the symlink, but fixes the target, but it is only the target mode and permissions that are relevant anyway.

That didn't work because the first message sent will go to yourself and the mailing list which will be blocked. If you tell it not to send it to yourself, the first message will send.

[Mailman-Users] Using the command line (was Re: List all users on one page)
There are quite a variety of tutorials, all of which are rather out of scope for this list. Search for command line tutorial or somesuch in google and you'll find plenty of links. Here's one for linux: http://www.linuxcommand.org/ And here's for windows: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial76.html (I haven't used either of those, since I learned the command line several decades ago, but at a glance they look reasonable.) If those don't suit, many local libraries and colleges can introduce you to someone who can do one-on-one training, assuming you're willing to pay for an hour of someone's time.

If you did see that and you can't do this from the web admin interface, your Mailman must be 2.1.9 or older. If that is the case, and as it appears, it is hosted on a server that you don't have command line access to, then you have no way to change admin_member_chunksize from it's default value to get all the members on one page. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
