Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman 2.1.5 bad pickle - getting there

2005-02-09 Thread Adam Steer
Hi folks ...turns out we have just one badly-munged list. So, if anyone knows how to clean up databases help would be welcome, otherwise, I'm just retrieving the relevant list info and rebuilding it. /bin/check_db said: File "/usr/lib/mailman//Mailman/MailList.py", line 566, in __load d

I've had /Cgi/private.py open, adding in the code from: http://lists.netsys.com/pipermail/full-disclosure/2005-February/031562.html However, reverting to the original private.py doesn't change things. So - I suspect that whatever is broken was broken before ten minutes ago, but i co

Hi all I've finally written up the most significant parts of a Mailman makeover we've done here at ALIA. If you're interested, head over to: http://alia.org.au/alianet/e-lists/mailman.interface.html ..and have a dig around. In a very small nutshell, the pages there describe why we modified Mail

Ahhh SuSE. Jim's pointer [via Mark] is good: You should change /etc/mailman.cgi-group by hand. We had some issues with the changes 'sticking' past a SuSEconfig run, but we also had some major group muckups. Once those were sorted, and we actually had a proper group to match the gid, all was well.

Thanks! My Python is sadly lacking, I'm afraid. I was able to use the method below to search for a string in the address and remove it. Reckon it's worth adding to the FAQ? Cheers Adam. -- Adam Steer Web publishing officer Australian Library and Information Association [EMAIL PROTE

looked at the subscriber list using the admin interface for a few months. Oddly enough, the roster available from /listinfo/ pages is unaffected. It renders the address with a curly quote... I'll see if anyone has added regular expressions in member-removal functions to the wishlist. C

Re: [Mailman-Users] HTML in list descriptions

..on a HTML note here - has anyone done any serious hacking of the 'look and feel' of Mailman? I've spent a few days crafting up a new web interface for an MM 2.0.x install here [one that gives up valid HTML even], but it requires modification of files that look likely to get over-written every ti

hmm. seems the preceding discussion is a good example of why 'reply to list' could be a bad thing ;-) reply-to-list is a *configurable* thing, on a per-list basis, without needing access to anything except a MM list admin interface. I'd hope system admins of any experience would be able to handle
