Okay, here is a question...

Well, or if what Shaun means is "mailman is installed, now I just need to move
the lists", copy over lists/ and archives/ and you should be mostly
there. Run bin/check_perms after, and if the home dir of mailman has
changed, use bin/move_list to update the list home path. That should

On a new installation, I get "Authentication failed" for both the correct list

How do you get a trace on what the problem really is ?

I'd say fix your sendmail? You can temporarily "pause" mailman by removing
the qrunner crontask, and let sendmail churn on your mailqueue for a while.

You can configure the maximum size of a message for each list. I

It is unlikely that it's related to mailman. For what it's worth,

Interesting problem, since by default Sendmail will no longer relay. You
have to modify it or program it to be an open relay.

You may want to download the latest version and install that, then revisit
your access rules in /etc/mail/...

You can always edit out the cron job that sends passwords out... And
replace it with a script that sends out a message with a link to the
Listinfo pages of the lists that the user is subscribed to.
In this way the passwords are not sent out arbitrarily.

Jon,
Not a practical solution to any problem I can think of... but yes, you
could do something like that:
Stop sendmail,
restart it in queue-only mode,
run qrunner to process the waiting lists,
edit the raw messages waiting in sendmails queue,
Stop sendmail, and
restart it in daemon
We are going to implement a few lists through Mailman.
Our info dept wants a list of press release people who are
not admitted to leave the list by
using the lists web site. (ONLY through noticying the list
admin).
Is this possible? Think I've seen this answered before but
can't find where.
