Re: [Mailman-Users] trouble shooting question

Talk to Hostway or file a trouble ticket through their web interface. I used to use them, I found that often there were issues with them while using Mailman. Often, for instance, if digest was enabled messages would queue up and never send. Eventually, no one would receive mail at all until digest

[Mailman-Users] Installation on Mac OSX

Hi gang I've just installed Python and happily found it to be very simple. I also noted the incredible speed difference between a 500 iceBook, a G4/400, and a G4/500. Then it came time to install the mailman stuff. I downloaded 2.0.8 and unpacked it. I went to add the user and group of mai

Look at the actual crontab. I believe there's a default entry which you could use as an example. In fact, checking mine (which I commented out): # Every 5 mins, try to gate news to mail. You can comment this one out # if you don't want to allow gating, or don't have any going on right now, # or

On that note, can someone point me a link to some info that does a systematic comparison between Mailman and Majordomo. I've been having major digest issues with Mailman on one of my webhosts and am trying to evaluate my options. At 01:17 PM 1/14/2002 -0500, Jon Carnes wrote: >You are not usin

RE: [Mailman-Users] is there any way to have Mailman NOT to send out monthly membership reminder?

I'm not one to fuel arguments, but I think sometimes people get a little short when the same questions appear over and over again and people don't even try to help themselves before seeking help from others. I'm not saying that's what's happening here. I really don't think RFTM is rude--it's real
