[Mailman-Users] Feedback on Mailman 2.1

2003-01-25 Thread Marc Perkel
Often the programmers and the development team overlook things in upgrading because they don't have the same experience as the end user. I want to point out such a case to you so you can fix 2.1. As a 2.0.11 user I did not need the list "mailman" and didn't have one. Thus when I upgraded it mos

2003-01-25 Thread Jon Carnes
Hmmm, it may be a Python error. Perhaps your RPM version of Python doesn't load all the modules that you need. This has been a problem in the past with other distributions. See if there are other supplemental RPM's for Python - like a development RPM that has additional modules (like the StringI

Yep, but as I recall someone made a patch that preserved the URL references (at least in 2.0). Not that that is worry for the case below since they just started up the list. BTW: I get around this by running HTDig on my servers so that folks can search the archives directly. It helps. A lot. ---

Version 2.1 automatically creates the aliases in ~mailman/data/aliases so you can include that in your MTA's alias checks and from that point on the aliases are created automagically. Read the INSTALL file. What could be better than that? Jon Carnes - Original Message - From: "Gareth Hop

Down load the source from a tarball and expand it via "tar -xzf .." and then follow the instructions in the file INSTALL (and any special instructions from the other specific READM.xxx files). If you have Python 2.2 installed on the system then the install should be very easy! Good Luck - Ori
