CHANG,HENRY wrote: There is an option that states preserve message for site admin Until yesterday I was under the impression that this meant the messages in the pending request queue would remain there untouched. But I was testing it out with this option checked and the messages are always deleted from the pending requests page unless you select the defer option. When they specify that a copy is kept for the site administrator do they actually mean that the pending message is deleted from the page but saved on the machine housing the list messages? Yes. Is this only accessible only by those with direct access to the hardware it's stored on and not the list admin/mods? Yes The message is saved as a plain text file with a .msg extention in a directory which by default is $prefix/spam (where $prefix is the home directory of the mailman installation), but it can be any directory (on the mailman installation machine) as defined by the mm_cfg.py SPAM_DIR variable. If you want it to remain in the admindb interface, you need to 'hold' it. Otherwise, you can discard it and forward to the list admin. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

I am also looking at having to do this, and would love to hear from anyone who has done it. You are correct that updating Python will trash Ensim. My Ensim has two versions of Python (neither is high enough) and I can point things to the other one just fine - so it is possible to have two installations. Now I just need to figure out how to install a second version without messing with the other ones. Paul It's been so long since I installed a new version of Python, so I don't remember it all. However, it seems that in the ./config there's an option to place the new installation somewhere other than over the old installation.

There are both Linux and Windows versions. PHB Mine, and many, run with Red Hat Linux 7.x. Thanks for the info! you should be able to do an altinstall of Python 2.2.2 in /usr/local. E.g.: ./configure make make altinstall PHB I love this list! Never seen an altinstall mentioned, PHB but they I'm still crawling. Apparently this does the same PHB thing as make install except it does not create (or replace) PHB a hard link of the new version to python. Exactly. It lets you have multiple versions of Python living in the same directory. Do a regular make install for you main one, and altinstalls for all your alternatives. You don't wanna know how many are in my /usr/local/bin! :) PHB Doing some searching on this I'm seeing reference to using PHB the --prefix option with configure to name the directory that PHB it will be installed to. Is this necessary, or is it only PHB for installing the files in a directory other than the PHB current one? --prefix on either Python's or Mailman's configure just says to put *everything* under the specified directory. By default Python's prefix is /usr/local while Mailman's is /usr/local/mailman. Using --prefix is a good way to make sure that Python is completely distinct and separate from any other, so it's another way to go if you want. -Barry -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: archive@jab.org Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
