[Mailman-Users] Mailman's Functional Spec for users
I'm new to Mailman and looking for how it treats address headers. Mailman CC'd a sender's subscribed address and I want to know if publishing this address is the intended behaviour, rather than BCC. My problem is with the docs at wiki.list.org/DOC/Home. I haven't found a description of what a list manager does in terms of what behaviour to expect in use, rather than during configuration by users, manager or site admin. The concept of a list manager is explained at www.list.org/mailman-member.txt, but not the basic operation. Page 'Introduction - What is GNU Mailman?' belies its heading and is focussed on 'How do I...' (e.g. 'How do I spell Mailman?'). I found only Reply-to headers mentioned in the List Administration Manual. There's a lot to search and I don't know my way around as a developer. Where should I be looking? -- Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/ Member address: arch...@jab.org

[Mailman-Users] Fwd: Mailman web interfaces and design
Hi, I am looking for a means of customizing the mailman we pages. I have noticed that some pages can be edited via the interface, but I would like to make more drastic changes (removing links to admin page for example). My first thing that I would like to do is, if possible, to add our own CSSs to the web pages. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, where do I start?

Re: [Mailman-Users] No access to public archives
You can't just create the links, you must administer the list through the web administration and set the archives to private or public from there.

[Mailman-Users] Archives and attachments
Hi, I read that mailman 2.1.1 has limited handling of attachments for the archives. Am I wrong? If not, can someone inform how to configure this or point me to documentation concerning this.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Migrating from Lyris to Mailman - Looking forfunctionality and/or workarounds
For point 1, yes you lose this. However, I think it may be possible to get some info by configuring webalizer to read the mailman log files. I am not sure on this point though. Point 2. You will find in the templates folder (en for english) a footer.html that gets added. You may edit that as you wish. (just run arch program to update the archives with it). Point 3 I think that mailman does support virtual servers, but I have no experience of this. So don't hold me to it even being available.

[Mailman-Users] mailman 2.1.1 -> 2.1.2
Hi, I have modified quite a bit of mailman, especially templates and added CSS support within HTML pages. I was wondering if I upgraded from mailman 2.1.1 to 2.1.2, what actually changes, and will my site get messed up, even just a little. This is an live server running for a large customer. I know I can (and should) test it on another server first, but I wanted other peoples experiences first.

Ok, Archives are working and attachments are being stripped and all. Perfect. However, when there is a thread, the text is all first, and the attachments for all messages are placed at the bottom of the entire thread. Is there a way to embed the attachments in the message that sent it.

1 For number one, you can set up an automatic mailto on the submit button using a mailto: or with java to do it without interaction from user. Remember that the mailman allows you to administer via mail. 2 Again, as for 1, you can do this using a mail command. 3 Bounced messages or invalid addresses can be set up so that they don't get into your list in the first place, or you can make users login to your mailing list.

There are plenty of Mailman list servers out there that have many more subscribers, and handle much larger messages on a daily basis.

Hi, Take a look in the management console in the content filtering options. Check out the pass types. You could add some attachment types (mine are as below) to allow excel files through.

That sounds like you've selected Mime digests, either as the list default or for your own personal options. To check the list setting, go to Digest Options and look at: When receiving digests, which format is default? Plain MIME Plain is plain text, each message one after the other in a single email.

Hello all. I am having some problems with a mailman list I am trying to setup. First let me tell you my configuration: Xserve G4 10.3 Server Mailman 2.1.2 (os x package-part of the server) Everything is up to date - all patches and updates What the people who want the list setup want is to have every post be moderated, no matter what. I figured out how to do this simply enough. They also want the moderator to receive emails whenever a post is submitted so that they can approve it asap. I set a password different from the admin password for the moderator, and supplied a moderator in the moderator field. I turned on "Should the list moderators get immediate notice of new requests, as well as daily notices about collected ones" to Yes, and to my understanding, the moderator should get messages whenever I send a message to the list. The posts are being send to the moderation que and await moderation, but the moderator never gets an email saying there are requests waiting. Is there something I'm missing, a bug in this version, or something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have followed the guides on list migration and rsync'ed the lists, data, and archives directory from the Ubuntu box to the Redhat box, updated the permissions, and regenerated the aliases. However, when I go to update the urls for mailing lists via fix_url, none of the allegedly migrated lists can be found.

I'm attempting to migrate a number of lists from Mailman 2.1.11 on a box running Ubuntu 8.04.3 to Mailman 2.1.14 running on a box with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2. I've installed Mailman on the Red Hat box according to the installation guide and have successfully created a working mailing list under it. I've added a few people to it and confirmed that it can send and receive messages.

There is no 'posters' attribute and the 'moderated' attribute is set to
zero. The 'data_version' is 97.

Re: [Mailman-Users] New To Mailman
Mark, I have been using IS Mail, which is an email server program on a Win 7 64 bit machine for a number of years. What this is used for is to send Alert Activation's (very short messages) to a group of volunteers that assist the county during emergencies (ie, flooding, severe weather, tornadic activity, power outages, etc). It basically will mobilize the troops. As of late, many of the messages that have been sent range from getting marked by gmail as spam to completely bounced by Verizon (using the phone number @ vtext.com syntax).My thought was to find a different/alternate email server program that I can do the same thing with. Since many of the reflectors I subscribe to use Mailman, I though I would give it a go. The requirement was to use a Linux based system in order to do this. I know ZERO about Linux. What I have done so far is to install Virtual Box on the Win 7 64 machine and also install Ubuntu within VirtualBox. I used Ubuntu to download Mailman and then extract it to a separate file folder. That's where I am at. Because of my lack of Linux, I am stuck as to how to start Mailman or even set it up. My intent here is to create three lists as I have now with IS Mail so that the Emergency Coordinator can send a message to the reflector and it will notify the subscribed email addresses for the volunteers subsequently activating the group.

Re: [Mailman-Users] New To Mailman
Carl That is what I am currently doing with IS Mail. In order for the messages to be sent, IS Mail logs into my account and then sends the mail. I believe the problem could be related but not limited to reverse DNS authentication. My Ip resolves to my domain name via DYNDNS. I also have an MX record as well as a TXT record that is set to allow my domain to send email through my ISP account.

[Mailman-Users] Moving Mailman to a new IP
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, all! I'm currently faced with a somewhat complicated task. Machine A (hostname x.com) is running Postfix 2.1.4 with myhostname = mail.x.com, acting not only as the MX for x.com *and* y.com but also (as you would expect) hosting virtual mailbox maps and domains for the latter. I have also been running a Mailman mailing list on y.com for about a year or so. I was recently donated machine B and have installed Postfix and Mailman on it and wish to migrate the list to this new server. My goal is to configure Postfix on machine B (hostname to be y.com) to receive mail as virtual host mail.y.com and eliminate the virtual mailboxen altogether. The hard way of doing this would be to try to synchronize with each post to the mailing lists while DNS changes propagate. I'm thinking that it would be easier (and cleaner!) to copy the list over to Mailman B, configure Postfix A to relay messages for y.com to Postfix B, and shut down Mailman A. My questions to you are as follows: 1) is this the best approach and 2) if so, how is the right way to accomplish this? My reasoning for asking the second question is because I cannot afford any downtime for this move and I need to make sure that it gets done right the first time. Any help would be appreciated.

[Mailman-Users] Problems with relocating a list
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Moving a Mailman list from one server to a new one has been a *very* smooth process for the most part, but I'm noticing some small quirks in the wake. Here's an account of how I accomplished this. 1. Installed Mailman 2.1.5, Postfix 2.1.4, and Apache 2.0.50 on the new server. These versions exactly match the ones on the old server. 2. Went through the process dictated in FreeBSD-post-install-notes, INSTALL, README, and README.POSTFIX, which essentially involved editing main.cf, httpd.conf, adding MTA = 'Postfix' to mm_cfg.py and creating the "mailman" list. 3. Under the direction of section 3.4 in the FAQ Wizard, I copied the data, archives and lists directories from the old server to the new one. But rather than clobbering the pre-existing directories, I copied only the *relevant* directories from archives and lists (i.e. archives/private/listname* and lists/listname). Nothing was copied from data and the "mailman" list was not copied. 4. Ran withlist -l -r fix_url listname && genaliases 5. Started postfix and qrunner. 6. Configured Apache on the old site to proxy and Postfix to relay to the new server while DNS changes propagated. Now, the aforementioned quirks: 1. The old lists are not advertised on the new Web site. 2. Apache will not let me access the public archives (that were private before the move) and I get a 403. I'm sure this has to do with Apache 2's default deny policy, but not entirely sure how to deal with it (I'm still somewhat of an Apache 2 newbie, but I've had a few years experience with 1.x). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Here's where this gets interesting. ;-) I myself subscribe to this list, have the nodupes bit set, and see "Receive your own posts to the list? Yes" in my configuration page. I receive copies of my own posts. Would that be because I'm the owner? The other subscriber *also* has the nodupes bit, also sees "Receive your own posts to the list? Yes" in his configuration page. He *doesn't* receive copies of his own posts, yet everyone else does. > This does not seem to come into play here as > the number of regular members is 58 and the number of smtp recipients > is also 58, thus we don't have to account for any "missing" > recipients.

Actually, I re-analyzed the logs just now and it turns out that there had been an unsubscription between the time that this message was relayed and the time that I ran list_members. Therefore, the recipient count should be considered to be 57, which accounts for the fact that his post wasn't sent back to him. >>Nevertheless, tracing through the Postfix log for that particular post >>also yields 58 recipients.

Possibly, but I can't help but thinking that the problem lies in Mailman-space, since Postfix would at least record an attempt, yes? >>Thanks for your assistance.

Actually, after some fiddling, I see that the bit that affects delivery back to the poster is the "not metoo" bit.

This latter statement seems to be the accurate one, but I'm at a loss as to why I should be receiving my own posts when I have the nodupes bit set.

Apart from the usual headers, there are 3 differences: 1. He has a few X- headers, such as X-US-Mail, X-Telephone, X-FAX and X-URL. I have only X-PGP-Key. In any case, these shouldn't affect. 2. I have User-Agent, Mime-Version, Content-Type, and Content-Transfer-Encoding. Again, these shouldn't matter. 3. He includes a Cc: header with no value in every post.

[Mailman-Users] Unshuntable files & Spammed Pending List
Hi all, I noticed recently that the qrunner process on my server was going really nuts sometimes, and using over 90% of the CPU (causing various problems). I'm aware of a couple of reasons for this, and understand that 2.1.5 addresses some such issues. I am currently running 2.1.2, and want to upgrade to 2.1.5; but I thought it would be a sensible idea to spring clean a little first, especially once I found out how much junk I have laying around. I have 42 lists, some are large, some small, some busy some basically dead. My qfiles/shunt/ directory has over 3800 files, and the bin/unshunt command doesn't seem to work. It runs for a while then leaves the files there. I understand the qfile format has changed in 2.1.5, so I wanted to clear these out. Can I just delete them all? (I'm not worried about their being being lost or whatnot). Otherwise, why wouldn't unshunt work? The permissions are all correct (now - I just fixed that). Additionally, a couple of my lists got spammed, and now have a lot of pending requests (over 17,000 on one and 3,000 on another). I looked up how to remove these, but my install lacks a bin/discard utility; I presume it came in a later install. Is there anyway for me to clear these up before I upgrade? Additionally, is there any other steps users would recommend to prevent such CPU heavy qrunner processes? I heard that archiving more often can help, is that correct? Any other ideas?

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Archives page not updating
Hello I'm relatively new to mailman. I've searched the mailman lists and tried to find a solution to my issue but nothing. Has anyone encountered the below issue and could offer some help. I recently moved mailman from one server to another.I tarred up the old archives and moved them to the new server, and simply untarred them into: /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/[list-name] The system has been running for a few months now and I have noticed that the archives list doesn't show anything past the month when I moved over to the new server. When I log onto the server, I can see the messages in .txt files for the following months after the move. However, when I vi the index.html it looks the same as the site i.e. no months following the server move. Is there a command I can run to update the archives webpage? Ideally I would like the archives webpage to update automatically again. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Anthony ___ Rise to the challenge for Sport Relief with Yahoo!

[Mailman-Users] Replies from non-members getting posted to list set to allow posts by subscribers only
I have a list which is set to reject posts from non-members (see settings below). At one point I had an address (chira...@gmail.com) which was subscribed to the list (adf-www). However, I unsubscribed it from the list sometime yesterday. The list_members command confirmed that it is not subscribed to the list: a...@lists:~$ list_members adf-www adfro...@illious.com ashipkows...@gmail.com athenam...@gmail.com athom...@adf.org cefarr...@gmail.com cryst...@cedarlight.org druidki...@mac.com knottydrag...@hotmail.com m...@chronarchy.com nightdr...@lycos.com p...@castingtherunes.com sele...@zoomtown.com sk...@dragonskeep.us walks_alo...@hotmail.com smgoo...@hotmail.com I went into the inbox of that account, chira...@gmail.com, which is not a subscriber, and *replied* to one of the posts it had received when it *was* on the list. I expected to get a rejection notice back since chira...@gmail.com isn't a subscriber but... the post went through. I got it at the athom...@adf.org address, I looked at the headers and it was sent From chira...@gmail.com with adf-www in the To and Reply-To fields, with adf-www-bounces in the sender field. Further, I confirmed it by checking the mbox file for the list. Amazed, I used list_members to confirm that chira...@gmail.com was not a subscriber, then replied to a different message (received when it /had/ been on the list), and that message went through too! At this point I was paranoid that the list would allow anyone in the world to post, but when I tried posting from a different address (which had never been on the list at all), I got back the expected rejection notice. I then posted from my athom...@adf.org address, which /is/ a subscriber on the list, to see whether chira...@gmail.com would get the post, and I got the post back, it was added to the mbox file, but chira...@gmail.com did /not/ get the post. So what I'm left with is a non-subscriber, which used to be a subscriber, apparently able to post to a list I'm pretty sure is configured to only allow posts from subscribers. Does anyone have any experience or insight into this? I searched the archives but couldn't find anything similar. thanks, Anthony (I put x at the end of the user portion of various email addresses in this post just to spam protect them as I don't know how the archives for this list are configured) List settings: config_list -o - adf-www | egrep -v '#' | egrep -v '^ *$' real_name = 'ADF-WWW' owner = ['a...@adf.org', 'dr...@yahoo.com', 'athom...@adf.org'] moderator = [] description = 'ADF-WWW Mailing List' info = '' subject_prefix = '[adf-www] ' anonymous_list = False first_strip_reply_to = 1 reply_goes_to_list = 1 reply_to_address = '' umbrella_list = False umbrella_member_suffix = '-owner' send_reminders = 0 welcome_msg = 'Please note: All ADF electronic forums are moderated; the moderation policy is located at http://www.adf.org/forums/lists/moderation.html and you can always reach a human being at adf-listmast...@adf.org' send_welcome_msg = 0 goodbye_msg = 'If there are any reasons you chose to leave the list that you would like to share, please feel free to email us at adf-listmast...@adf.org or adf-members-advoca...@adf.org' send_goodbye_msg = 0 admin_immed_notify = True admin_notify_mchanges = 1 respond_to_post_requests = 1 emergency = 0 new_member_options = 0 administrivia = True max_message_size = 0 admin_member_chunksize = 50 host_name = 'lists.adf.org' include_rfc2369_headers = 1 include_list_post_header = 1 max_days_to_hold = 0 preferred_language = 'en' available_languages = ['en'] encode_ascii_prefixes = 0 nondigestable = True msg_header = '' msg_footer = """___ Unsub: http://www.adf.org/forums/unsubscribe.html?%(list_name)s List archives: http://lists.adf.org/archives/%(list_name)s/ Moderation policy: http://www.adf.org/forums/moderation.html Questions?

Do you mean (as implied by your access to the inbox) that this is your personal address? Yeah, one of several :) If so, I don't know if GMail allows this, but is it possible that you configured that account to automatically have an Approved header? No, but... This reminded me that I had set the Reply-To for chira...@gmail.com to atho...@adf.org (this account). So I just removed the Reply-To in the Gmail settings, and tried posting again, and got the expected rejection notice - yay. However, this raised another question - why did the Reply-To setting affect the behavior of Mailman? So, I tried posting to this list (adf-www) from a completely unrelated account, a...@sigilservices.com. As expected, I got the post sent back to me with the nonmember_rejection_notice text. BUT, when I sent a post from a...@sigilservices.com with a Reply-To of atho...@adf.org (which *is* subscribed to the adf-www) list, instead of getting a rejection notice back to a...@sigilservices.com, instead "Your message to ADF-WWW awaits moderator approval" was sent to atho...@adf.org! This is very weird behavior - it's weird that Mailman would behave differently when the From has not changed, but the Reply-To header has, especially since it's so easy to set that to anything one wants. I guess my initial issue is resolved, since I had forgotten about setting the Reply-To in GMail - and I do apologize for that. But it's still odd that Mailman would act differently based on the value in the Reply-To field, unless I'm not understanding something correctly. Thanks Stephen, and Mark too, for your help. (And while I'm at it, how do I request a feature for a future release? I was glad that there is a nonmember_rejection_notice field, but would have really liked to see a nonmember_hold_notice field too!) thanks, Anthony -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Mailman-Users] Replies from non-members getting posted to list set to allow posts by subscribers only
Actually, another test post I sent to a list with a similar configuration just got *posted*, based solely on the Reply-To header (list configuration appended below). When I posted from a...@sigilservices.com to this other list, which is not subscribed to the list, it got properly rejected (with the nonmember_rejection_notice text). HOWEVER, when I changed the Reply-To (in the Thunderbird account settings) to atho...@adf.org, which /is/ subscribed to the list, it got *posted* to the list. Is there something I'm missing here - is this normal behavior? It doesn't seem to me like someone should be able to post a message to a private list just by changing the Reply-To field to an address they know is on the private list. thanks, Anthony config_list -o - adf-mg | egrep -v '#' | egrep -v '^ *$' real_name = 'ADF-MG' owner = ['a...@adf.org', 'dr...@yahoo.com', 'atho...@adf.org'] moderator = [] description = 'ADF-MG Mailing List' info = '' subject_prefix = '[adf-mg] ' anonymous_list = False first_strip_reply_to = 1 reply_goes_to_list = 1 reply_to_address = '' umbrella_list = False umbrella_member_suffix = '-owner' send_reminders = 0 welcome_msg = 'Please note: All ADF electronic forums are moderated; the moderation policy is located at http://www.adf.org/forums/lists/moderation.html and you can always reach a human being at adf-listmast...@adf.org' send_welcome_msg = 0 goodbye_msg = 'If there are any reasons you chose to leave the list that you would like to share, please feel free to email us at adf-listmast...@adf.org or adf-members-advoca...@adf.org' send_goodbye_msg = 0 admin_immed_notify = True admin_notify_mchanges = 1 respond_to_post_requests = 1 emergency = 0 new_member_options = 0 administrivia = True max_message_size = 0 admin_member_chunksize = 50 host_name = 'lists.adf.org' include_rfc2369_headers = 1 include_list_post_header = 1 max_days_to_hold = 0 preferred_language = 'en' available_languages = ['en'] encode_ascii_prefixes = 0 nondigestable = True msg_header = '' msg_footer = """___ Unsub: http://www.adf.org/forums/unsubscribe.html?%(list_name)s List archives: http://lists.adf.org/archives/%(list_name)s/ Moderation policy: http://www.adf.org/forums/moderation.html Questions?

Re: [Mailman-Users] public/private listinfo pages

I currently have a public "listinfo" page which displays only selected lists that have the "advertise" option enabled.

Mike, if it was me I'd do the following: * Set up the directory you want the page to be in, with the .htaccess protection you want * Set up an index.html page there that uses Apache's server side include mechanism to include index.inc, with something like: We have the following mailing lists: * Then do the following, either manually or probably more likely on a regular basis via cron: rm -f /path/to/index.inc; ls -1 /var/lib/mailman/archives/private | egrep -v mbox | perl -ne 'chomp; s#/$##; print qq^href="/mailman/listinfo/$_">$_\n^;' >> /path/to/index.inc (with that ls -1 command being all on one line) There are a lot of assumptions there, for example that your archive directory is in /var/lib/mailman/archives, that no one will access the page in the very small time between the rm and the ls/perl, etc. You could make it fancier (such as writing to a temp file and then moving over the original inc file), but for me the above would probably be "good enough". hope this helps, Anthony -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

The default setting checks the following in order: - the From: header, - the envelope sender, - the Reply-To: header and - the Sender: header. Mark, you are correct, I apologize for not understanding what you had written in the first place. I read Stephen's reply, read yours, then re-read Stephen's and only on that second re-reading did I realize that I had set the Reply-To on that account. If you have write access to mm_cfg.py, you can set SENDER_HEADERS to a list which doesn't include Reply-To (see the documentation in Defaults.py) I do have write access, but will have to do some thinking about whether I want to deviate from the standard configuration. I've often found that things are set "that way" for a reason, and I usually don't "know better" than the folks who determined the default installation settings :) If someone were ever to use the Reply-To header to actually send something to a private list of ours, I'd probably revisit the decision, but for right now I think I'll leave it. but as Stephen said, it is almost as easy to spoof the From: or even the envelope sender as it is to set the Reply-To:. Yes, you (and Stephen) are right. I've even done that myself, telnetting to the local SMTP server etc. That's become a little more difficult recently, with many open relays being gone, so I guess I felt it was harder for many people to casually spoof the From address than the Reply-To.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Is Mailman right for us?

I need something for our discussion lists. (We also have announce-only lists.) The discussion lists ideally would have an archive that is accessible. Also, some of our lists need to have the ability to have multiple "moderators / posters" who may or may not be list subscribers. For instance, we have staff in Jerusalem & Chicago. We have mailing lists for each office, but all staff members can post to either list. For example: A Jerusalem staff member can send a message that only the Chicago staff will receive. Alison, I can say that Mailman can do what you describe (I'm sure others can too :) I just converted 71 lists (a few announcement lists and the rest discussion) from Listserv to Mailman and so far everything went smoothly. (If you're doing a similar conversion you can see some documentation I wrote on this at http://blog.anthonyrthompson.com/listserv-to-mailman/) Our biggest announcement list has about 1500 people on it and a few of our bigger discussion lists have between 500 and 1000 people on them. Yes Mailman comes with archives built in. If you want to enable searching you'll have to do that as an add on but there's documentation out there on doing that (a lot of people, my org included, use swish). I don't know if I can set up a demo for you, or if there are screen shots, but if no one else knows of anything I might be able to do some screenshots for you if you contact me offlist about what you'd want to see. ~Anthony -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Mailman-Users] Merging two lists
On 7/21/2010 11:23 AM, Michael R Boudreau wrote: I need to merge List A into List B. My plan is to run list_members on both lists and use the Unix 'uniq' tool to find the members of List A who are not already in List B. Then I'll use the web interface's mass subscription page to add the members from List A to List B. Depending on how lazy you want to be, I'm guessing you might be able to just take the member list from List A and mass subscribe it to List B. I think Mailman would just complain about the people who are already subscribed to List B and then process the rest. Though I haven't tried this. I tried playing around with uniq (and two dummy files) and it might do what you want but the results weren't intuitive to me. I hacked together a script a few years ago to compare two files and say which lines are just in file A, just in file B, or in both; it's at http://blog.anthonyrthompson.com/listserv-to-mailman/code/utils/filecomplines Following that, I'll run rmlist on List A without deleting its archives. However, ideally I'd like to make the archives of Lists A and B available in one place to all the members of the new expanded List B. If it was me, I'd just remove all the subscribers from List A, add a dummy subscriber account set with delivery off and mod on, and then give out the dummy account and its password to the folks on List B for archive access. ~Anthony -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Mailman-Users] Help with MAILMAN list password

I change the root password too ( the same) but doesnt work, now the old password and the new one worked Help plz Mauricio, the confusion may come from the fact that there might be as many as three "passwords" involved here: 1) The password for the entire Mailman site installation (which you may not even have if you didn't install Mailman yourself; this is set with the mmsitepass command line program) 2) The password for the list itself (which is set when the list is created or later with change_pw as you wrote) 3) The passwords for the list owners if they're subscribed to the list. The confusion arises, I think, because Mailman actually accepts all of the above in terms of logging into the admin web interface for a list. So you might have changed one but not another, and it's still accepting the "old" password because of that. If this doesn't help, do you remember the commands you used? (sanitize the password of course, i.e., don't post real passwords on this list) I only ask because some of your terminology is a little bit ambiguous. For example: * "I use mailman to administrate my email lists" - how many lists are you talking about? How many did you run change_pw for (or did you use the --all option for all lists at once)? How many are exhibiting the confusing "accept old password" behavior? * You said your old password works too - where is it that it "works"; do you mean logging into the web admin interface for the list (and is this the case for one list or multiple lists)? * Similarly, when you said "I need absolutely change the Admin Lists password", what is it that you're trying to protect, the ability to log into the admin interface? (such as http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/listname or http://yourdomain.com/mailman/admin/listname) I can think of some Python code you could run at the command line to see which password is which, but how comfortable would you be with the Unix shell to run test Python code there? hope this helps, Anthony -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

I ask because it's possible that maybe the "mailman" list which you mentioned having problems with, is managed differently from other lists? We have a managed server and after I set up all our "real" lists I went and deleted the "mailman" list thinking it was just a test/stub list. Good thing I mentioned doing that in passing to our server admin, who restored it and told me that it was an important special-purpose list.
