Thanks to all who give me your suggestions. Expecting it helps someone else, here is an abstract of what should be done in order to advertise a new list. 1.- Under the privacy options, be sure to check on "Advertise this list when people ask what lists are on this machine" (indeed I had it). 2.-

There is no "hard" limit to the number of addresses. I'm going to guess that your folks have various email addresses that they use (I use about 5). To be on the safe side, you should add all the various addresses that your admins use to the field (one address per line). Jon Carnes On Fri, 2002-

This is really not a bug in Mailman - though I think the new series (ver 2.1.x) checks for this condition and "fixes" it. I believe this is caused by some Mailers that leave off the From: or misconfigure it. This issue was discussed in detail on the list about a year ago. Jon Carnes On Fri, 20

Hmmm... What OS are you running this on? To fix this, you have to figure out what Group your MTA (sendmail, postfix, exim, qmail,etc...) runs as, then reconfigure mailman so that it knows what group ID should be allowed to run the Wrapper program. Looks like your system is doing some funky things

You've probably already found this, but just in case - Look on the web admin pages under Privacy options and make sure that your lists are Advertised. If that is already checked, then go back to the General page and make sure that Base URL is matches your "mysite/mailman/". Good Luck - Jon Carnes

Pipermail doesn't do a good job with MIME. You can try setting your archives to allow MIME. If it still does not work, then you should look at using an external archiver like MHonArc http://www.mhonarc.org You don't have to run MHonArc on the server with the lists, it can run anywhere on the i

This is an age-old problem. Some folks use this as an argument to make the default reply be the sender and not the list. That is one solution, but not one I like... Really the best solution is to teach folks the proper way to setup a vacation message. Vacation messages should *only* respond to

Mailman is Open Source, so if you have sysadmin rights to the server that Mailman is running on, then you can do anything you would like, including personalizing the standard notices. The 2.0.x series does not let you do this by default, but you can edit the Source code. I think the 2.1.x series
