[Mailman-Users] Admin authentication failed 'cause of cookie
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 form. I tried to compare with a 'magic ports' installation on a FreeBSD 4.2 box, This one works fine, Then I discoverd that the Solaris box doesn't send the cookie named 'mylist:admin'. Whatever password I use (list or site), access is blocked. In the mailing list archive, I found a message talking about an update of Python from 1.5.5 to 2.0 that avoid proper authentication. (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2001-January/008812.html) So I tried Python 1.6 and 1.5.2 without any success. Any ideas ?

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

[Mailman-Users] Mime encoding ?
Is there a way to have binary attachments not encoded in the list archives? (a link to the file would be easier for people browsing through the archives) -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
[Mailman-Users] removing articles from mailman archive
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 for any suggestions! Thanks, Brian J.

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

Re: [Mailman-Users] automatic unsubscription
Please keep me posted on your success with the perl! If I knew more about Perl I would have tried it. Still learning this script stuff!

Re: [Mailman-Users] automatic unsubscription
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!

If someone wants to elaborate on this, I'd suggest using sendmail, and making the "from:" address be the same as the original sender (what is extracted here). The sitepassword would then be mailed to the member, wouldn't it? Thanks for your help.

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

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

If you have access to the mailman account on the box then you can use clone_member to copy the member's profile to the new address, and delete the old address, in one operation.
