Hello everyone,

Unable to create a “Issue” in the “Support” section, I allow myself to open it here to warn you of an incompatibility of the module Mailman (mailman\_1%3a2.1.18-2\_amd64 - webmin-virtualmin-mailman\_6.3\_all.deb) to Debian 8 (Jessie), creating a list works perfectly, but when I want to add a member, I see this error :  
`Failed to add list member : Add members to a list from the command line. Usage: add_members [options] listname Options: --regular-members-file=file -r file A file containing addresses of the members to be added, one address per line. This list of people become non-digest members. If file is -', read addresses from stdin. Note that -n/--non-digest-members-file are deprecated synonyms for this option. --digest-members-file=file -d file Similar to above, but these people become digest members. --welcome-msg= -w Set whether or not to send the list members a welcome message, overriding whatever the list's send_welcome_msg’ setting is. --admin-notify= -a Set whether or not to send the list administrators a notification on the success/failure of these subscriptions, overriding whatever the list’s admin_notify_mchanges' setting is. --nomail -n Set the newly added members mail delivery to disabled by admin. --help -h Print this help message and exit. listname The name of the Mailman list you are adding members to. It must already exist. You must supply at least one of -r and -d options. At most one of the files can be -’.`

Can you solve this incompatibility ?

However, everything works on a Debian 7, but not on version 8.

Thank you !

Subject resolved, congratulations to the team for their reactivity on the “Support” section.

It works when I go to “Manage”, and I add my subscribers, and although they appear in the members section.
