[Mailman-Users] archives not being created (qmail + stable mailman release)
I've installed Mailman as per the INSTALL and README.QMAIL documentation. It works fine except for one thing, the list archives are not being generated ... I've taken a look at the mbox directories and they are indeed empty and devoid of any life. My Mailman configuration details are as follows:- .qmail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .qmail-owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .qmail-default: |/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/scripts/qmail-to-mailman.py Qmail is configured as follows: lists.myhostname.net is in rcpthosts and virtualdomains .qmail-mylistname contains the text mailman In virtualdomains, mail for lists.myhostname.net is handled by the mailman user ... I don't know enough about mailman to know how the email archives are generated so I do not know if the absence of a .maildir is the issue ... msg12580/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

While I was logged in to the listinfo pages, I asked MM to tell me what mailing lists I was in, (it listed the ones in the virtual domain only). MM seems to know what address is on which list at what domain. I guess I missed a setting someplace? You need to take care of this in mm_cfg, using add_virtualhost().

Re: [Mailman-Users] Protecting user data
Jon, I may implement that for a temporary solution, but it does not take away the full problem because anybody could be subscribed to the mailing list (which isn't very high traffic anyhow) and see the IP addresses in the message headers. Ideally I'd like to be able to protect my users from being seen in the email headers at all. Is there any way to do this? Will I have to do something with sendmail to make this happen?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Announcement\ Digest options
Set the list up as Digest only, then run a parallel list that you can simply blast to. You can use the command-line commands to keep the lists in sync with each other. You can also use the command-line tools to simply dump out a text file with all the email addresses and then send you blast directly using the emails in that file. I think the Beta has a feature that works for doing this. Alas the current production does not.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Ask information
Run Sendmail or Postfix locally on the linux box. You'll need a local mail transport. You can setup the MTA (Sendmail or Postfix) to use the Exchange server as a Smart relay, or you can simply have it send the messages out directly. When you setup the lists, you setupforwards from theExchange serverfor each listyou setup in Mailman, or youcan qualify the lists by using the host name such as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] These will be different from your exchange lists which would be: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] === Exchange has similar functionality to Mailman. In Exchange, the sysadmin can setup lists and then give ownership of those lists to various users. The owners can modify and manipulate the lists. They can also setup who can/cannot post to the lists. I've setup Mailman to run alongside Exchange at a few clients. Mailman doesn't really give them much more than Exchange.

You can modify the trigger values for the digest blast and then send your message. You are forcing your folks to use digest mode when they subscribe to the list (or are subscribed to the list by you) - thus they will only get a digest from the list. For the message to go immediately, it either has to go out as a digest (with adjusted trigger so it happens right away), or you have to send the message out via another list (or directly).

[Mailman-Users] Mac OSX Jaguar Mailman/Sendmail - complete installation steps
** Successful Jaguar (Mac OSX 10.2) installation steps for Mailman/Sendmail ** I followed the instructions in the INSTALL file included with the Mailman source. Because I am not an expert, I made several wrong turns. I kept a log of the things I did as I went through the whole process. I've cleaned up the steps I took and provide them here. I am NOT good at UNIX, so some of the steps may actually not be in the absolutely correct order, and some of the steps may even not be necessary. Feel free to comment on mistakes I may have made, or decisions that may cause problems. I have Mailman running now on my Macintosh laptop with OS X 10.2 - Jaguar. Others' mileage may vary. Step 1) Collect all the things you need. (I include this step because most Macintosh users will not have done any UNIX style installations.) a) You need to use a text editor like BBEdit Lite. http://www.barebones.com/ b) You need to download and decompress the Mailman software. (The installation instructions are in step 4.) Download the software from: http://www.list.org/ c) You need Stuffit Expander to uncompress BBEdit Lite and Mailman. Your Macintosh probably already has Stuffit Expander installed. http://www.aladdinsys.com/ d) You need to use the Terminal program on your OS X 10.2 computer. You'll find in it the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder. You may want to drag the Terminal icon to the dock for easy access. e) You need to know how to change privileges with Jaguar. (To change a file or folder's owner and/or group, click once on its icon, the choose File -- Show Info [command-I]. In the info box is the ability to look at the owner and group. To change it, you click on the lock. A dialog box comes up with your user name. Assuming you are an administrator on your machine - and thus in the admin group, put in your password to unlock the ability to change a file's ownership attributes.) f) Python 2.2 comes pre-installed on your computer. It is already functioning and ready for use by Mailman. (To verify you have Python, open the Terminal application. at the % prompt, type: sudo Python -V and then hit the enter/return key. You'll be prompted for your password. When you enter it, the terminal will respond with the Python version. g) Apache web server software comes pre-installed on your computer and has already been configured and is running. h) Sendmail is already installed on your computer but is not running, doesn't have a folder smrsh needs and doesn't have an alias file. (Instructions are in step 2 and step 6.) i) You need to know how to get into hidden subdirectories. In the Finder, use the Go menu and choose Go to Folder. Type in the path to the hidden folder you need to open. j) You need to know how to make a new user. You use the System Preferences application [from the Apple menu]. Use the Accounts panel in the System section. k) You need to know how to run the Net Info Manager application. [It is in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.] You use this to create groups. l) You need to install the Developer Tools that came with your Jaguar disks or several of the steps won't work (the Terminal command that begins with m4). Step 2) Get Sendmail running a) From the Finder, use the Go menu and choose Go to Folder and type in: /etc b) Click once on the hostconfig icon and use the File menu to Show Info [command-I]. Click on the lock to unlock the privileges. Change the owner to yourself with read and write privileges. Close the Info window. c) Use BBEdit to open hostconfig. Look down the file until you see the line about the Mailserver. Change it to read: MAILSERVER=-YES- d) Save the changes and close the hostconfig file. e) With the hostconfig icon still selected, use the File menu to Show Info [command-I]. Change the owner back to System. Close the Info window. f) Either reboot your computer or open the Terminal application. At the % prompt, type: sudo nohup /System/Library/StartupItems/Sendmail Hit return/enter. Terminal will ask for your password. Put it in and hit return/enter. g) In the terminal application type: sudo cp /usr/share/sendmail/conf/cf/generic-darwin.mc /etc/mail/config.mc h) From the finder, use the Go menu and Go to Folder. Type in: /etc/mail i) Select the config.mc icon and change its owner to you. (Use Show Info from the Finder's File menu.) j) use BBEdit to open config.mc. k) Scroll down to find the undefine(`ALIAS_FILE') line. Remove that line. Add in these 3 lines: define(`ALIAS_FILE', `/etc/mail/aliases') define(`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL', `GroupWritableDirPathSafe') define(`LUSER_RELAY', `local:webb_k') (except replace the webb_k with your username) Save the file and close it. l) Open BBEdit and create a new file that contains this text. [replace the 2 places where it says [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your own e-mail
