Mailman ideas...

i just got an idea and thought it would be good to bounce it off on you guys: i think it would be bodacious if Mailman could send all messages at one time. Before you say "digest" in unison, the difference in my idea is that: 1) the messages would be sent separately, in bulk, say at a use defined time (midnight in their timezone, for example) 2) or as an mbox file any commentary is appreciated...

A few requests
by bwarsaw＠beopen.com July 9, 2000

July 9, 2000

Hi all, I have a couple of requests for folks on these lists. First, could people try not to crosspost to both -developers and -users? I've had some other list members complain about excessive crossposting. Please remember that -users is for questions about how to use Mailman, how to set it up for various list types, configuration questions, etc. -developers is for bug reports, feature requests, and feedback on the health of the beta releases. Second, on the issue of bug reports, if you are using the beta releases and think you have found a bug, /please/ be sure to test it with the latest beta release (or better still, CVS snapshot). It will really help me and the other maintainers if you check to see whether the bug exists in the latest release. Also, be sure to use the Bug Report Manager on SourceForge to lodge your bugs, otherwise there's a chance it'll get buried in my mailbox. If I can't easily verify your bug on the latest CVS snapshot, I may have to mark it as out-of-date. Finally, when submitting patches, you /must/ use the SourceForge Patch Manager, and you /must/ submit your patches against the latest CVS snapshot. Thanks, -Barry

./logs/fromusenet
by Chuq Von Rospach July 9, 2000

July 9, 2000

imagine my surprise when I went looking at the mailman logs and found a 1.3 megabyte logfile called fromusenet... It's an endless series of lines: Jul 08 23:35:01 2000 (14428) begin gating Jul 08 23:35:01 2000 (14428) end gating barry, this really ought to be turned off unless the usenet gateway is enabled. Mine's not turned on, so I was really surprised to see this going... (now, the size is because i haven't turned on log-rolling yet, but...) I also think it needs to be made clear that mailman logs to ~mailman/logs, and that those files need to be rolled, since they aren't in the "standard" place in /var and can be overlooked... -- Chuq Von Rospach - Plaidworks Consulting (mailto:chuqui@plaidworks.com) Apple Mail List Gnome (mailto:chuq@apple.com) And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say 'Man, what are you doing here?'"

my page updates for 2.0b4
by Chuq Von Rospach July 9, 2000

July 9, 2000

I'd previously made a bunch of changes to the web interface (most of them cleaning up the UI for the listinfo page), and i had a number of requests for them, so now that b4 is out, I've rolled my changes into b4 (so far, so good!), and I thought I'd repost them, this time as a diff that can be run through patch. Barry, I don't know if these changes can be rolled into 2.0 or later, but I really think the listinfo page needs help, and this is a good start. My test users were constantly getting lost, and have been really happy with this new version. There's still a bunch of work left tweaking the pages, but I don't know how quickly I'll get to it. This was the big problem area my users found. (for 2.1, I'd really like to see this stuff simplified, since there are some pages that are generated in three different places, making working on them a royal pain, but it's definitely not doable in 2.0's timeframe...) The one thing folks will have to be wary of in this patch is that I've tweaked the system to change the footer and add some site-specific header stuff. Both should be easy to back out or simply not install... chuq ------ diff -r -c mailman-2.0beta4/Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py mailman/Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py *** mailman-2.0beta4/Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py Thu Jun 22 23:20:55 2000 --- mailman/Mailman/Cgi/listinfo.py Sat Jul 8 22:49:48 2000 *************** *** 71,83 **** host_name = mm_cfg.DEFAULT_HOST_NAME doc = Document() ! legend = "%s mailing lists" % host_name doc.SetTitle(legend) table = Table(border=0, width="100%") table.AddRow([Center(Header(2, legend))]) table.AddCellInfo(max(table.GetCurrentRowIndex(), 0), 0, ! colspan=2, bgcolor="#99ccff") advertised = [] names = Utils.list_names() --- 71,83 ---- host_name = mm_cfg.DEFAULT_HOST_NAME doc = Document() ! legend = "%s Mailing Lists" % host_name doc.SetTitle(legend) table = Table(border=0, width="100%") table.AddRow([Center(Header(2, legend))]) table.AddCellInfo(max(table.GetCurrentRowIndex(), 0), 0, ! colspan=2, bgcolor="#cccccc") advertised = [] names = Utils.list_names() *************** *** 98,104 **** if error: greeting = FontAttr(error, color="ff5060", size="+1") else: ! greeting = "Welcome!" if not advertised: welcome_items = (greeting, --- 98,104 ---- if error: greeting = FontAttr(error, color="ff5060", size="+1") else: ! greeting = "<FONT SIZE='+2'>Welcome!</FONT>" if not advertised: welcome_items = (greeting, *************** *** 110,147 **** else: welcome_items = ( greeting, !

Triple text on 2.0b4 subscribe error page
by Hans Ulrich Niedermann July 8, 2000

July 8, 2000

Hi! This is a (very small) bug report for 2.0beta4 (no showstopper). I just tried to subscribe to the python announce list on <URL:http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list> (where Mailman 2.0beta4 is running) and entered an email address and two differing passwords. Then I clicked on "Subscribe" and received a reply ("Python-announce-list Subscription results: Your passwords did not match.") in one HTML file containing this same message *three* times. I can't imagine this was your intention, so I thought I'd let you know. I'm not subscribed to mailman-developers any more, so please Cc: me, if you've got some more questions for me. Have fun, Uli

Autoresponder broken
by Dan Mick July 7, 2000

July 7, 2000

I've noticed that the autoresponse messages to admin seem wrong; somehow most the headers get inserted into the message after the message text. Here's an example of what happened (the "Your mail...information." is text I put in the autoresponder text box on the admin page.) I'm going to be looking at what's wrong, but it's buried in sixteen derived classes, so I'm having some trouble. mailx version 5.0 Tue Dec 21 23:51:53 PST 1999 Type ? for help.

Mailman 2.0 beta 4
by bwarsaw＠beopen.com July 7, 2000

July 7, 2000

Folks, I've just released Mailman 2.0 beta 4. This is an important bug fix release that fixes problems with bin/newlist, the bundled pipermail archiving, the new admindb forward feature, and a few other problems. If you are running 2.0beta3, I strongly urge you to upgrade. As usual you can get the tarball from SourceForge http://download.sourceforge.net/mailman/mailman-2.0beta4.tgz or list.org http://www.list.org/mailman.tar.gz or (soon) ftp.gnu.org ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mailman/mailman-2.0beta4.tgz Due to the ongoing negotiations with CNRI, this release is /not/ available from ftp.python.org. :( For those of you on the cutting edge, I'd like to get as much feedback as possible over the next two weeks. I still plan on releasing the final version on the Friday before the O'Reilly Open Source conference (which, contrary to previous plans, I will not be attending). It's possible I'll make one more beta release before then. Cheers, -Barry

Bug encountered in version 2.0beta2
by Kambiz Aghaiepour July 6, 2000

July 6, 2000

We are using postfix and mailman together to manage a list with 128,000+ members. Today when I was using the web interface to approve a message, my browser came back with the following content. It looks like the message was in fact sent out, but I thought that this might be useful information; or perhaps others may have seen such an error before. Thanks. Kambiz Bug in Mailman version 2.0beta2 We're sorry, we hit a bug! If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what happened. Thanks!

fix for approval forwards
by Ricardo Kustner July 6, 2000

July 6, 2000

Hi, I mentioned earlier that the forward option on the approval page is not working properly... since i've spent some more time in the mailman code this weekend, i decided to see if i could fix this... It turns out the i could fix this by changing line # 233 in ListAdmin.py from msg.recips = addr to msg.recips = [addr] someday i might actually understand python... :) Ricardo. --
