A bit of a problem

First of all  Happy 2002

Well the new list server went online this morning and all went well at 2 AM
when it sent out 63 from my perl script, but things were a bit weird at 5 AM
when it sent out about 700 password reminders for all of the list. First thing
I noticed was that all of the bounces were for one list, second thing that was
weird is that there were 84 bounces on a list that only had 64 members. I do
know where the bounces came from but they were not the list that the
/home/mailman/log/bounce reported. Is this a bug?

I've posted before about the interop problems with Konq and MM2.0.8
(check the archives).  These should all be cleared up with MM2.1.

I will note that I've seen quite a few regressions with Mozilla 0.9.7
Linux.  Moz 0.9.6 seemed to work very well, but I've noticed two
problems with the latest release.

- Moz seems to have problems with the mass subscribe forms, which
  AFAICT differ from other forms only in that it has an
  `enctype="multipart/form-data"' attribute on the <FORM> tag.
  Submitting either the mass subscribe or mass remove forms just
  hangs.  This worked fine in Moz 0.9.6 and works fine w/ NS, and
  Konq.

- Moz 0.9.7 seems to ignore https and other encrypted connections.
  The lil' lock icon never locks!  This doesn't affect MM directly,
  although it certainly affects sites like SF which use SSL.

I haven't reported these to the Mozilla group yet, and I'm also
wondering if anybody else has noticed these problems.

I think so.  Or, it's a "surprising artifact of legacy code."

It's been adjusted in Mailman 2.1, coming soon.

Well Just as long as when day 5 of the bounce run comes along the users in the
correct list are tagged for admin attention.

Basic Question

Can mailman be downloaded to a Windows 98 computer and be used as
a mailing server ?

Mailman is not a mailing server, it is a mailing list server.

Password Reminders

Hello All,

I received a reminder of my password to this mailing list this morning and
presume that the mailing list I am running will do likewise in a couple of
days time. The mailing list I run is one which passwords are not needed
because people opt-in to the mailing list, no welcome message was
distributed, so no password has been displayed to anyone.

Is there a way, does anyone know, of turning off the monthly reminders? I am
currently running mailman 2.0.5 but is not hosted in-house and I have little
to no control over upgrading.

Many thanks,

Mark Fried

RE: Password Reminders

It should be nothing more than a matter of commenting out a cron entry.

  Simply comment out this line for mailman's cron

# 5 AM on the first of each month, mail out password reminders.
#0 5 1 * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /home/mailman/cron/mailpasswds

If it hasn't sent out yet I imagine that it is already commented out.

You should ask on the mailing list whether anyone is willing to help.

That is not my business, I operate an ISP.

Mailman 2.08 html archive problem

Folks:

I am running a new install of mailman 2.08 with Python 2.2
all seems to be working fine ...except  my list archives do not show up in 
html, ie looks like pipermail is failing to 'fire up"
the link to archives works, and i get the option to download the "full raw 
archive"  (which works)
which should indicate that it is not a webserver link issue?

but the page then reads:  Currently, there are no archives.

the config settings appear to be in order with:  ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = 2

i have removed and reinstalled the list and messages are archived but will 
not show up in html.
am i missing something obvious??

any clues and or ways to trouble-shoot pipermail to see where it might be 
failing are appreciated.

thanks in advance
