Hi every one,
I am having the hardest time setting up stripmime. It is something you will (probably)

I installed stripmime in /etc/local/bin, set the permission to 755, created a symlink

If your MM cron runs as the user mailman, it will retain the mailman permissions.

Hello Scott.
So far, everything is keeping the mailman:mailman settings through all the
cron jobs running (over the two days I've been working on this). The only other
file permissions anywhere in the setup are the ones owned by nobody:mailman.
I'm pretty sure thats because apache created

To avoid this should the cron be run as nobody:nogroup -

How would I go about changing senddigest so that it would only compile and

senddigest grabs all lists under $prefix/lists/ and checks for lists that are

I would like to something like:
