Did you install the aliases. Be careful. The aliases that mailman displays

You need to make sure you take the output from the '$prefix/bin/newlist' and
put it in the /etc/aliases file and run 'newaliases'. Then your mail won't
bounce and your mail will be archived in the appropriate pipermail directory so
it can be browsed. It won't work (as far as my experience goes)

The import is for the module named 'gzip'. When
one imports 'gzip', that module also imports 'zlib'.

Hi,
I just installed mailman on Linux Mandrake with postfix. I can add a new list, but

I'm releasing Mailman 2.0.7 which fixes two potential, though obscure

Sendmail is extremely tweakable - so much so that the default is for a
low-end server. You can easily increase speed and efficiency by tweaking
the values in your /etc/sendmail.cf file.
The best tweak is to remove that ident crap call by setting:

Mailman needs several entries added to cron. Su as mailman then enter the

Could the original lock up be caused by your dad mucking about with the

If you want to create a list that all your mailman
users can post to (but no one else) then you will need to write a small script
to create (or update) the list. You can find the script in the
archives.. Ahh

There may be a better way of doing it, but I have always just gone into the
files and deleted the entries by hand. You will find all the archives in:
~mailman/archives/private/...
I believe that you can simply delete the offending messages, then delete the
html pages and run the command ~mailm
The best way to do this with Mailman is give access to the files via a web
page. Dump out the user list to an htaccess file and point users to that
website. Restrict its access via the htaccess file.
I would suggest that you let the users login using their email address and
that you use their m
Just out of left field, but when you put in the mailing addresses for your
dad's list, how did you do it? Manually, or did you feed them in via
"add_members"? Check the list and see what the 53rd and 54th address are,
then go back to your import list and check out those addresses for errors...

There are many options for configuring Mailman which are "hidden" in the
