[Mailman-Users] Weirdness

I'm new to Mailman, so please bear with me. There's an existing list that was set up a few weeks ago. All was well, until I noticed something rather odd. When a user was unsubscribed (through the web interface), they continued to receive emails. And when additional users were subscribed, they

Re: [Mailman-Users] Nomail members

Hello guys: I have about 15 lists. Some of them become a dark hole some times, since users can not send to or receive from these lists. I do not see any error log in /var/log/mailman/error, only some pck files into /var/spool/mailman/shunt/. I just tried /usr/lib/mailman/bin/unshunt /var/spool/

[Mailman-Users] A Mailman Log Viewer script

Here is my gift to the Mailman community. I have created a PHP script to display Mailman logs via an HTTP interface. (I used PHP because it is what I know best, Python is still too new for me). It was developed to aid list owners on a server running Plesk with very restricted access policies

[Mailman-Users] "On behalf of" mail header

Hi, A simple problem I'm sure but I cannot find the setting :( I'd like subscriber/poster email addresses to be reported as they are on this list: from: name to mailman-user instead of what I presently have: from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of I've trawled the adm

[Mailman-Users] shunt

Earlier today one of my users sent a message out to a list but it never got there. It took a long time to figure out what happened to this message but when we finally found it, it had been shunted. There was an entry in the mailman error log that read "Mar 09 11:26:51 2007 (9048) SHUNTING: 1173
