Re: [Mailman-Users] Newbie questions

Hi Peter - In general, as this post suggests (pardon the liberties...!), Mailman isn't super-secure. For example, all it takes to impersonate you as a member posting is to know your email address. So encrypted passwords are the least concern, and I wouldn't use a very important password. Regarding

I am using the FC5 Mailman package. The archive files since the new build are being kept in /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/. However, the /etc/httpd/conf.d/mailman.conf file shows it as: Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ Where can I find where it is being forced to save

Hi Mark, You're right, SELinux is the cause. Disabling it allows access to the public archives. I'll have to find out if Red Hat has an updated security policy to deal with this, or I'll have to start rolling my own. Thanks again, Michael --- MINITEX Library Information Network / MnLINK Unive

Hi, My hosting company provides mailman for mailing lists. I am happy with the functionality, but I have two questions 1. What is the format for the upload file in mass subscription 2. Is it possible to get the reverse - i.e. a listing from one list that can then be massaged and used as the uploa
