Full Version: Mailman Setup

Howdy,

Is there any additional configuration needed for Mailman to work out of the box? I tried setting it up on one of my accounts with Cpanel - I get a success message, but then Cpanel doesn't show any lists as being setup. There is also no domain.com/mailman page on the account.

I've setup mailman with Cpanel before on other servers with no problem, but those were reseller accounts and there may have been some setup process that I missed.

Thanks

I changed servers recently and it wasn't working on the new server. It was installed, but the service woulnd't start because I think the main mailman list was missing. I ran
CODE
/scripts/reinstallmailman
and the problem went away and it works okay now.

Hmm - had the same problem, the fix seemed to work, but when I did a test list and then went to look at the resulting email in Horde, I got

Notice: unserialize() failed at offset 0 of 36 bytes in /usr/local/cpanel/base/horde/lib/Auth.php on line 250

FWIW, I had checked email immediately before doing the reinstallmailman to see if a welcome letter arrived, so it was working then.

[edit - restarting exim and pop fixed things...]

Mail sent to an owner of a new mailman list shows the following:

...
You can configure your mailing list at the following web page:

http://server.serverdomain.com/mailman/adm..._userdomain.com
(should be http://userdomain.com/mailman/admin/test_t...tmpweb.com)

The web page for users of your mailing list is:

http://server.serverdomain.com/mailman/lis..._userdomain.com
(should be http://userdomain.com/mailman/listinfo/tes...domain.com)

You can even customize these web pages from the list configuration page. However, you do need to know HTML to be able to do this.

There is also an email-based interface for users (not administrators) of your list; you can get info about using it by sending a message with just the word `help' as subject or in the body, to:

Test_userdomain.com-request@server.serverdomain.com
(should be Test-request@userdomain.com)
...

Please address all questions to mailman-admin@server.serverdomain.com.
(Should be something at serverdomain.com, not server.serverdomain.com)

------------

The mail sent to users seems to be correct - it is just the new list owner email that is wrong.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

While I am at it...

Anyone know where to change the templates for automatic mailman messages?

Thanks,
Bill
