Pipermail Archive page

Our archive page gets updated about every half hour.  When it updates
the most recent post on the page gets replaced with the most recent
post.  So instead of the archive list for January getting longer each
time it updates it stays the same length and the last link gets replaced
with a more recent post.  Has anyone ever seen this, or does anyone have
an idea how I could get it to update the archive correctly?

problems with To: and ReplyTo: fields

Dear mailman-users,

I have trouble setting the Reply-To:, and To: field right

I have some mailing lists on a server named boringname.foo.org
This server has virtual hosting and is therefore also known as
racing.foo.org and mychessclub.foo.org

racing.foo.org has a mailing list called f1 <at> racing.foo.org
mychessclub <at> foo.org has a mailing list called masters <at> mychessclub.foo.org

My problem is that I want mail to f1 <at> racing.foo.org appear to be
To:f1 <at> racing.foo.org and mail to masters <at> mychessclub.foo.org appaer to be
To:masters <at> mychessclub.foo.org.
On my system this mails allways comes with To:boringname.foo.org. Even
thow /var/log/mail says:

I've not seen the error, but it looks like the config.db for the list has
become corrupt.  (Does the list otherwise work?)  Does restoring an older
config.db help?

I'm having this exact problem on my new installation (Mailman rc5, 
Redhat 6.2), and I'd be very happy to cooperate with anyone who 
would care to help me troubleshoot it.

I'd love to get this package going, but I don't see any error 
messages in any of the logs.

How should I go about troubleshooting this?

Automatic list alises for QMail

I'd like comments on the following program.  The idea is that for QMail,
new lists will automaticly be detected and there will be no need to do
anything beyond "newlist".

Goodbye having to translate the sendmail alias entries into .qmail files.
Goodbye having to much with aliases ever again (as far as the list is
concerned).

Comments?

new company mail addresses

I have some company-internal Mailman lists. All our mail addresses will
change from xx <at> yy.zz to xx <at> fujitsu-siemens.com .
Is there a way for the list administrator to change globally all the
subscriber lists, or does each subscriber have to unsubscribe and
subscribe again with his new mail address?

Thanks for your help!

Mailman wedged.

Mailman (for some unknown reason) seems to be wedging on FreeBSD.
Right now, I've got 1500 files in the qfiles directory and they don't
appear to be going anywhere.  New messages do (eventually) get
delivered to the lists, but mail out from the lists (mainly digests)
don't ever get delivered (I can see them waiting the qfiles
directory).

Using lsof, I can see that the qrunner process has a socket open to
the mailer (which is postfix in this case) and that it has transmitted 
and recieved 0 bytes.  I tried setting the SMTPHOST variable to
indicate other hosts (one running postfix, the other running sendmail) 
and still qrunner sits neither transmitting or receiving (or
generating any useful log messages) aparently hung until the mailer
closes the connection.

Does anyone have any idea why this happens?

List not showing up?

Hi all -

I've been running Mailman 1.1 for half a year or so under Linux.  I recently
spot checked the public display (www.xyz.com/mailman/listinfo) and discovered
to my horror that my one private list was showing and that none of the public
list were showing.

I checked the private list via the admin screens and somehow it had been
marked public.  All the public list are marked public (via the privacy
screen).

Any idea why they wouldn't be showing up?

No prebuilt way, but it would be pretty easy to write some Python code to
do that.  I've written several small additions to bin/withlist that can
be run with -r that do similar "for all members" things.
They're in the archives.

mailman-2.0beta5 on Solaris 2.5.1

Trying to install Mailman 2.0b5 on a Solaris 2.5.1 box running
Python 1.5.2.  Everything seems to compile fine, though I can't
get the system to interact with sendmail correctly... (ie. I can't
even subscribe to a test mailing list)  I keep getting "unknown
mailer error 2" messages.  Here are the corresponding syslog
messages...

Anyone have any ideas?  (I know, it has to be something stupid)

I've tried cleaning/recompiling with different --with-mail-gid options,
but I can't seem to get something any different.

Thanks much...
