Illegal command: mailcmd
by Roberto Bagnara Dec. 15, 2001

Dec. 15, 2001

Hi there, we are experimenting with Mailman 2.1 (we absolutely need the Italian version) and we have problems with email confirmation of subscriptions. Here is the kind of message people trying to confirm receive in response: > Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2001 13:19:44 +0100 > From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON(a)studenti.cs.unipr.it> > To: pescetti(a)math.unipr.it > Subject: Returned mail: see transcript for details > > The original message was received at Wed, 12 Dec 2001 13:19:44 +0100 > from prmat.math.unipr.it [160.78.64.1] > > ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- > "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd comunicazioni-ufficiali" > (reason: 6) > (expanded from: <comunicazioni-ufficiali-request(a)studenti.cs.unipr.it>) > > ----- Transcript of session follows ----- > Illegal command: mailcmd > 554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 6 Does this mean that "mailcmd" should be added to the array initializer starting at line 35 in src/mail-wrapper.c, now reading const char *VALID_COMMANDS[] = { "bounces", "join", "leave", "post", "owner", "request", NULL /* Sentinel, don't remove */ }; Or "mailcmd" is indeed an illegal command and the culprit is somewhere else? Thanks a lot, and keep up the great work.

It's been discussed on mailman-users, which is where this question should have gone.

Think a semi-OO based PHP setup where the OO as[ects extended not only to the internal language, but also to the construction of page elements and templates, and of course, instead of using PHP, use Python and much more cleanly abstracted DB interface. Probably the biggest other difference is that Zope natievly works off a single unified store rather than the filesystem. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas. claw(a)kanga.nu He lived as a devil, eh? http://www.kanga.nu/~claw/ Evil is a name of a foeman, as I live.
