Shame on me. I didn't read the FAQ thoroughly enough: Q. I want to get rid of some messages in my archive. How do I do this? A. David Rocher posts the following recipe: # remove $prefix/archives/private/listname # edit $prefix/archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox [optional] # run $prefix/

Ah. We're on 2.0.13! I think I read that 2.1.2 is the latest "stable" release. Has that now been upgraded to 2.1.3? We just started using Mailman. Is an upgrade from where I'm at to 2.1.x going to be pretty straightforward? Thx, Allan --

[Mailman-Users] Customizing Mailman

2003-10-03 Thread Allan Trick
I really like the way Mailman is configured here: mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users. Users can add their real name (optionally). And when they change email addresses, it allows them to CHANGE, not unsub and resub (the way my own list works). I'd like to add these two features t

I need to clean up a private archive, and followed the instructions someone posted in a previous thread here: edited the mbox file to remove the messages not wanted in the archive, deleted the html files in the /2003 directory, and then ran ./arch . It recreates the html files (except for the

This would be a fairly simple hack to the source. You would simply grep for the option you want to comment out and when you find it in the source, comment it out. Then it won't appear in the web pages (that would be for every list). On Fri, 2003-10-03 at 18:31, Will Yardley wrote: > Is there an

Is it possible to change the "public" email address of a list (that reported in the rfc2369 headers, message footers, etc.) while maintaining a different name internally? Would there be any obvious problems I'm missing with such a feature? For our virtually hosted lists, we need independent namesp

[Mailman-Users] not allowing mass-subscription (web interface)

Is there an option to disable mass-subscription from the web interface, so that users can't add non-confirmed addresses themselves? Is there an option to require re-confirmation for addresses added (I guess only allowing "invite" but not "subscribe" would take care of this. Lastly, is there a way

If I recall correctly, the next step is to look in the qfiles directory and move any files in there into a backup directory. Then test to see if a new message goes through. If that works, you can feed the waiting files back into that directory a few at a time and let them be delivered. At some p
