[Mailman-Users] why can't people see my lists?

Fri Nov 2 00:23:42 CET 2001

The only way public can find your mailing list is by:
1- Placing it in your web site
2- Advertise it on other public newsgroups
3- Mail the URL to all of your clients
http://www.<host>/mailman/listinfo/ will reveal nothing

Unless you edit the "~/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py " file and add your
lists URL
dodgy but it will work.
Better option is to put the list on your web site with full link like this
http://www.<host>/mailman/listinfo/doc
http://www.<host>/mailman/listinfo/examples
http://www.<host>/mailman/listinfo/programming
and so on

here is an example of a html page
<html>
<head>
<title>Mailing List Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mailing List</p>
<p><a href="http://www.host/mailman/listinfo/dev">dev</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.host/mailman/listinfo/examples">examples</a></p>
<p><a
href="http://www.host/mailman/listinfo/programming">programming</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</body>
</html>

Cheers

| understood...
|
| So.. there's no way, from within mailman, to create a mailman-generated
| page which lists all the lists that that installation of mailman is
| serving...
|
| gotcha...
