I've done this a couple of times for some ISP's. You have to install a News server like innd. The setup and configuration of innd is beyond the scope of this list. Once it is setup though, you can access the News server just like any other News server on the internet. Good Luck - Jon Carnes On

I would suspect that your problem lays elsewhere. You might want to capture the messages as they flying about in their queues and try to isolate the process that is munging the messages. Could it be a problem with differing character sets? In any case, I haven't seen this reported as a problem fo

Make sure you local MTA correctly identifies the local user as bogus. Postfix by default does not correctly identify a user as being missing and instead sends a lesser error indicating that the user is just temporarily unavailable. Modify your MTA to report the bogus user correctly, then Mailma

In some cases this problem is caused by the way that the MTA handles local deliveries (where there is a problem with the local user). In postfix for example, the default install has local bounces mis-identified so that Mailman will try, try again to deliver to a bogus local user address. Nothing

At least, it looks weird to me. No lockfiles are present. I once had something like this happen with a corrupt .msg file, but I tried removing all files from the qfiles directory, and the problem recurs with all new mail. This began after moving the lists to a new server, running FreeBSD 4.8

As far as I know this is not yet implemented, but you might want to ask on the Mailman-dev list. I think someone is playing with that currently. I suspect that the code base for that is a moving target. Good Luck. Remember that patience can be very rewarding. On Wed, 2003-05-28 at 09:29, Bruno

Well Mailman gives you the choice of using the Web or the command lines. What other resource were you thinking of using? I've setup some systems (database driven) that sync with each other via the command line every few minutes. It works nice - but will work nicer once the Database connector is
