I have successfully started using Mailboxer in a Zope installation, but am having great difficulty customizing the email messages that are sent to users when they subscribe, unsubscribe, or do other actions. I thought that I would be able to easily alter some DTML documents, but they seem hidden somewhere. For example: After a user subscribes, they get this message which I cannot seem to alter: "Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the example@example.com mailing list. I'm working for my owner, who can be reached at example-owner@example.com. Acknowledgment: I have added the address paul@example.com to the interviews mailing list." Has anyone run into the same problem?

Hmm, well this isn't mailboxer -- this is the ezmlm program that comes with qmail. It's qmail's list management. Here's my synical guess: you asked you ISP to help you setup mailboxer for mail lists with qmail and Zope. They heard "mail lists" and "qmail", hit their automatic button (which turns off the parts of the brain that listen for unfamiliar data, and in fact shuts down all further communication for a default period of time before a reset). Unfortunately, their automatic button doesn't give you what you need. I've not messed with qmail in an ISP/restricted environment, but here's a couple things that could put this within your power to solve: 1) read up on qmail's aliases, the "-" (dash) notation for lists 2) use the dash notation to create an email address in a domain (name) for which you have access (which may only be a permutation on your user name) 3) read the qmail/mailboxer doc here: http://zope.org/Members/adytumsolutions 4) experiment with smtp2zope.py Take care, Duncan

hi, I have made this point to Paul off list.
Here's my synical guess: you asked you ISP to help you setup mailboxer for mail lists with qmail and Zope.

very cynical indeed. ;/ we (Zettai.net) are the ISP and we do know what we're doing and we set Paul's Mailboxer up correctly, as we have with other clients, its just that I believe Paul has confused the two.

yes, he is set up correctly. we have other clients with the same setup reporting success with MailBoxer. Its a confusion issue. <--> george donnelly ~ http://www.zettai.net/ ~ "Quality Zope Hosting" Shared and Dedicated Zope Hosting ~ Zope Servers ~ Zope Websites Yahoo, AIM: zettainet ~ MSN: zettainet@hotmail.com ~ ICQ: 51907738
