Good Morning all
I have two questions and both of them are probably where
I can't find them.
I am looking for the FAQ on how to be able to change
the subscription page and other pages according to to the website that
it is
for
I have 8 lists and 5 of them belong to different domains and website. I
would
like to customize each subscription page (and any other page a
subscriber
might see)
to be the same as the web pages are.
Where do I find out how to install the HTML feature for the Archieves
and customize those for each domain(If I can't customize each one that
is OK
as well)as
long as the archieves are in HTML.
I found the documentation for MHonArc very lacking
Thanks
Bob Escher

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Using Mailman 2.0.13 my list doesn't appear to have been archiving
itself
(via Pipermail).
On the website archive page
<http://mydomain.tld/mailman/private/mylist/>
messages stop in August 2003. The option to download the full raw
archive
says it is 13MB.
When I use an FTP client (Fetch) to look at the files on the server I
see
nothing in /usr/local/home/mailman/archives/private (Linux flavoured
server).
But when I connect by command line over SSH I see files
admin at myserver mylist.mbox]$ pwd
/usr/local/home/mailman/archives/private/mylist.mbox
admin at myserver mylist.mbox]$ ls -lah
total 44M
drwxrwxr-x 2 mailman mailman 80 Dec 8 2002 .
drwxr-x--x 6 mailman mailman 160 Dec 8 2002 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 44M Dec 22 13:54 mylist.mbox
Clearly I don't do this enough to see the blindingly obvious mistake
but...
How come the archive is being written to today but I can only see file
from August 2003 on the website?
Why does the website say the mailbox is 13MB but its really 44MB?
How do I get out of this mess?
Many thanks!

You're making the telnet connection, but unless you left part of the
"action" out, the mail server is not responding with the SMTP connection
banner. So it appears you can reach the machine's port 25, but the SMTP
server dislikes you enough to refuse even to begin to talk to you.
It should look something like this:
$telnet smtp.olympus.net 25
Trying 65.117.224.66...
Connected to smtp.olympus.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 entiat.olympus.net ESMTP Exim 4.42 Wed, 22 Dec 2004 16:49:48 -0800 C
Where that 220 line is the "missing" banner (and the trailing " C" is an
indicator we added to this instance of Exim).

Meanwhile, an archive represents history, so removing a message from the
archive amounts to rewriting history.
Nonetheless, list owners in at least England need to be able to do it,
or
run afoul of the enforcer of "take my personal information off your web
site
NOW" requests. The enforcer imposes big fines.

Mailman 2.1.2 on OS X Panther Server
I'd like to make some mail lists which are collections of other lists
List1:
PersonA
PersonB
PersonC
List2
PersonD
PersonE
PersonF
List3:
PersonG
PersonH
PersonI
List 4:
List 1
List 2
(This would go to 6 people, 3 from 1 and 3 from 2)
I can set this up and have the mail go out OK, personA gets messages
sent to list 4, but personA can't post to list 4- message gets held as
post from non-member. Can these lists be made to work so that only
member can post including members of sublists?
Thx,

You may want to look at
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.047.htp>.

Mailman integrates pipermail for handling the archiving system,
not MHonArc. If you're looking for documentation on MHonArc, you
probably want to check out <http://www.mhonarc.org/>.

See the FAQ
>Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
Article 3.5 for one way to work around this and also avoid duplicate
messages to people who are members of more than one sub list.
Also see http://starship.python.net/crew/jwt/mailman/#listinclusion for
a patch that would allow you in your example to put '@list1' and
'@list2' in accept_these_nonmembers for list4.

I don't know if 2.0.13 has a bin/arch tool with the same function as
the one in 2.1.x, but if it does, you could just try
bin/arch --wipe mylist
to rebuild the archive from mylist.mbox. It might work, but it might
fail the same way that individual archiving has failed since August
2003.
My guess is that there is something in mylist.mbox in the message
following the last archived message from Aug 2003 that is causing the
problem.
See http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.003.htp
If bin/arch doesn't fix it on it's own, you'll have to find the problem
in mylist.mbox and "correct" that as explained in the FAQ.

For those pages that have templates, see
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp
For pages generated on the fly, there's no good solution that wouldn't
involve extensive hacking of the Python code.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but there are HTML templates
for the various pipermail archive pages that can be modified per the
above FAQ.
