Topic: Mailma vs EZMLM

[alterego]

Hi

I run a small list using ezmlm. However a few of the people on there would like me to ditch ezmlm and go over to mailman.

I don't mind doing it if its easy to install and get set up and has as useful a server manager panel as ezmlm.

Can anybody offer me any advice on this?

Go easy on me I'm not a trained admin, I do this as a hobby from home, and although I've been at it a few years I don't have a hugh amount of knowledge!

Cheers

Go to http://chaloner.ca he has a good howto on mailman. I don't know mailman but it is not integrated in the server manager like ezmlm.

Hi

Thanks that is useful.

He mentions a script for a tarball to install containing -

e-smith-mailman-1.0-7.noarch.rpm
htdig-3.1.6-6.i386.rpm
mailman-2.1.3-1.i386.rpm
mhonarc-2.6.8-1.noarch.rpm

However he does not mention who has done this or where it can be found.

Anybody know?

Cheers

Hi

OK found it.

Just installing and setting up now.

Will post again when it does not work!

Ok here goes...

Right installed it all OK...

Set up a mailing list all worked fine.

Then decided I wanted to do the changfes suggested so i did not have to use lists.mydomian.com

Now I need to delete the list I created in lists.mydomain.com so i can recreate it at mydomain.com

Basically how the flinkin eck do I delete a mailing list.

The FAQ says

"To delete a list via the web interface you must set the variable OWNERS_CAN_DELETE_THEIR_OWN_LISTS to yes in the mm_cfg.py file. It is no by default."

However I've opened all of the files in mm_cfg.py and none of them seem to have this variable so I don't know which one to put it in!

I'm assuming the obvious one would be 10defaults?

I made a small script I put in /root/bin called removelist with the following line inside;

/opt/mailman/bin/rmlist -a $1

To use it;

# removelist name_of_your_list

Or manually, simply;

# /opt/mailman/bin/rmlist -a name_of_your_list

(the -a removes all of the archives as well)
