hmm this may be useful later on for linode that handles multiple domains:

    - Set the values for DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST and DEFAULT_URL_HOST in
      /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py file if the fqdn of the host you are
      running mailman on is not the email and url host you need to use.

to disable moderation of all sent messages from members go to

After enabling the calendar module I ran into this bug: http://drupal.org/node/613528

PHP 5.3 issue - Attempt to modify property of non-object (Calendar Module)

I ‘rm -rf calendar’ and downloaded the dev version of calendar per the bug and that resolved the issue

After working with views I ran into this bug: http://drupal.org/node/452384

Make Views compatible with PHP 5.3 (but don’t break it for PHP 4.x)

fixed that by following

http://drupal.org/node/452384#comment-3219914

Removing the amp; in line 1511 in includes/admin.inc in

function views_ui_build_form_state($js, $key, amp;$view, $display_id, $args) {

helped! (#78; Views 6.x-2.11)’'

HowTo: Integrate mailing lists with forums using Listhandler and Mailhandler

http://drupal.org/node/40777

  • Todo
  • figure out why posts from Mailhandler are not automatically approved.
  • I think it’s because the user used to post the comment is not authenticated specifically, since it comes in through mailhandler

Mailman Manager

Todo Mailman Manager http://drupal.org/project/mailman_manager - provides an interface through which users can subscribe to mailing lists run by Mailman.

Cron

mailhandler checks the configured email address that is subscribed to mailman whenever the drupal cron is run.

todo: http://drupal.org/cron

can be run manually here:
