View source for Mailing-list manager

FusionForge comes with standard Mailman integration.

== Locations ==

Mailing lists are hosted at:
* projectname-listname@lists.yourforge.tld
* https://lists.yourforge.tld/ for admin interface and archives

The ''Lists'' tab in each project allows project members to list and configuration their project mailing lists.

== Troubleshootings ==

=== Reset sitewide lists admin password ===

Type:
 mmsitepass

=== No mailman list ===

Mailman requires a default <code>mailman</code> list to be created. If your distro didn't do it already:
 newlist mailman root@localhost.localdomain PaSsWoRd
 service mailman restart

=== Debian Wheezy->Jessie upgrade ===

Debian applied a patch for Mailman that unifies UTF-8 support. Unfortunately this can cause issue if you list had accents e.g. in the list descriptions.

To fix this:
* make sure you upgraded <code>/var/lib/mailman/messages/</code> (in particular if you reused <code>/var/lib/mailman/</code> from your previous installation)
* Use something like the following to convert the configuration of problematic lists:
 do config_list -o- $listname | iconv -f ISO-8859-9 -t UTF-8 > tmpconf; config_list -i tmpconf $listname
* use <code>/var/lib/mailman/bin/unshunt</code> to deliver mails blocked in <code>/var/lib/mailman/qfiles/shunt/</code> due to encoding issues
