Hi folks, If you've got a (very low traffic) Mailman list and it's been set up with digests and has subscribers who've enabled digests, what happens to them if you should disable digests? My guess is that they'll get emails as per normal from then on (or at least I would hope they would), but has anyone got experience with it? This is Mailman from Debian Stable: mailman: Installed: 1:2.1.13-5 Candidate: 1:2.1.13-5 Version table: *** 1:2.1.13-5 0 500 http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/debian/ squeeze/main i386 Packages 500 http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status cheers!

I haven't, but there are Python scripts included in Mailman that let you change the configurable variables. If you're concerned, you could write a script that turns off digests in the individual configurations of all of the users before you disable them globally.

Just built a test list and tried it out, after disabling digests you see a warning on the digest page that says: # Warning: You have digest members, but digests are turned off. # Those people will not receive mail. So exactly the opposite of what I was wanting. :-(

Looks like: list_members -d $LIST will tell me all the people who have digests selected.

Problem is I don't see a script that will let me change a members settings, might have to do it all through the web interface, and there are 79 of them.. cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC

The only gotcha there is you have to remember to trigger a digest run first before you run this script. But that's trivial from the web interface. -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC
