Hi, I am running mailman 2.0.6 (and sendmail). I have set up a test list with one user. Everything works (subscribe, unsub, web interface, welcome messages) except that I never receive the actual messages sent to the list. I believe I checked everything (mailman log, pending administrative

I've heard of list servers that bounce messages if the new content (non-quoted text) is fewer lines than the quoted material. We've got some clueless subscribers that persist in quoting entire threads while adding only a paragraph or two. Has anyone modified Mailman to do this? Margy Levine Y

More info I found while poking around my system: When I try to set up my first list-"test," it's Sendmail on the RaQ that doesn't seem to want to cooperate. When you set up a list in Mailman, it outputs a few lines which you should put in /etc/aliases (/etc/mail/aliases on the RaQ) for Sendmail.

At this point, you don't know whether "test" works or not. Mailman does not send a confirmation of list creation. It has no idea when you will get around to adding the aliases and updating them, so it wisely chooses to wait. Now login to the admin site (or listinfo site) and add your email a

Hi, I have completed the setup process of mailman just now on a Cobalt RaQ4...I think. All went well until I attempted to set up a list "test"-my first list. I ran the newlist program, entered in "test" and my e-mail address and password, then copied the output lines and put them in Sendmail's "

Actually, the installation README for Python recommends that the name "python.exe" is used to avoid a clash with a HFS volume called "python". Adding a hard link to python.exe called python fixes it of course, and makes it possible to invoke Python from the command line in the usual manner. I'm a

Thanks to Joe, Greg & David. Changing the name of the python executable back from the recommended python.exe to python let the mailman installation & checks work. (Sorry for the double post; a bounce message made me think it hadn't gotten posted the first time.) Now, I'm looking at security issu
