[Mailman-Users] admin sripts problem

Hi everyone, I've just got a new virtual server with mailman (2.1.3) installed. I've done some testing and have a few lists up and running. I'm really pleased and impressed. Its been years since I've done any administration, and I'm completely unfamiliar with python. Anyhow, I've been tryin

Hi gang, 2 quick questions. Just confirming what looks evident from the faq, but is it necessary to create the new log files, or will mailman automatically create one if it tries to append to file if it isn't there? Secondly, I have savelogs available rather than Eric Toran's logrotate. If a

[Mailman-Users] archive rotation

Re: [Mailman-Users] archive rotation

I use logrotate at my sites to rotate my logs monthly. It's simple to setup and it's already running on most systems. I generally keep 4 months worth of back logs. Thanks, actually, I'm using savelogs, and keeping a couple of months worth of data. So far so good. In any case I'm curious about s
