? This very message came to me with the following header: Errors-To: mailman-developers-admin(a)python.org All my bounces come to the list admin address, set in the admin webpage, in the second field of General Options. Do you have that set to something, and bounces still come to root? > 2. Bounces are sent to the poor postmaster instead of a -admin address. > I'm not entirely certain, but I think an Errors-To: header or something > like that in all Mailman messages might allow one to distribute that load > somewhat.

site-wide list configuration...
by Chuq Von Rospach 12 Jun '01

12 Jun '01

Just as a bit of an FYI -- I've mentioned in the past that I'd like the ability to "lock down" certain list configuration options based on site-wide standard. Having this feature has become more interesting to me, since I just has a 'situation' where it would have been really useful. I had a list admin decide he wanted to change reply-to to the list. This, despite being told not to change things. So he did. And it got involved in a situation where stuff was posted to the list (by me, in fact) that shouldn't have been because the list was configured different than everything else on the system. And that led to the "why can't we have this?" fight, and it led to a private argument with the list admin (who actually changed it twice), and all sorts of unhappiness. And one of his arguments, of course, was "if you don't want this changed, why do the pages let me"? Don't worry, my hair will grow back. Well, maybe. But take this as a real-world case where splitting out content admin from list admin from site admin and allowing the folks higher up in the hierarchy to delegate or freeze what sub-admins can do. Because while it's nice to think everyone will play nice and follow instructions, in the real world, it doesn't always happen. -- Chuq Von Rospach, Internet Gnome <http://www.chuqui.com> [<chuqui(a)plaidworks.com> = <me(a)chuqui.com> = <chuq(a)apple.com>] Yes, yes, I've finally finished my home page.

minor qrunner bug.
by Chuq Von Rospach 02 Jun '01

02 Jun '01

Just noticed a minor bug in qrunner. when qrunner starts up, it opens the log files, and leaves them open. this is fine -- except when the logs get rolled and restarted. When you move the logs off and gzip them for storage, qrunner continues writing to the (now unlinked) old files, not the new, zeroed ones. So all of the qrunner stat and errror and whatever data from the time you roll the logs until that instance of qrunner exits is gone (which, if you've modified qrunner lifetime values, can become significant on a busy system) Since mailman isn't oding much log processing, not a big deal. but for sites that are (for instance) charging for list usage, or sites that have implemented reporting, there are potential holes in the data, and if they're busy so they have extended qrunner times, significant holes. while open/write/close is expensive, given all of the other stuff qrunner's doing and the relative lack of logging, I don't think it's significant. Alternatively, it can notice the files have been moved/zeroed, or perhaps accept a HUP like syslog... -- Chuq Von Rospach, Internet Gnome <http://www.chuqui.com> [<chuqui(a)plaidworks.com> = <me(a)chuqui.com> = <chuq(a)apple.com>] Yes, yes, I've finally finished my home page.

subscriber profiler patch for mailman-2.0.5
by Swee Heng 01 Jun '01

01 Jun '01

hi folks, i've written a patch to mailman-2.0.5 that lets it handle subscribers' profiles. (is this the "member profiles" feature on the wishlist?) the patch is available at: http://www.srikant.org/~sh/src/mmprofiler/mm-2.0.5-prof-0.7.gz a screenshot of it in action is at: http://www.srikant.org/~sh/src/mmprofiler/screenshot.jpg this is my first serious attempt at python. so please be warned. :) feel free to comment. swee heng ====================================================================== Brief Documentation ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ how to install it: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1. "patch -p0 <" the patch to mailman-2.0.5 2. do the usual "./configure; make; make install" this will create Mailman/Cgi/profile.py, cgi-bin/profile and three templates files (prof_login.html, prof_list.html, prof_user.html) in templates/. it will also modify Mailman/Cgi/edithtml.py so that list admins can change the look of the templates. how to use it: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for currently existing lists, you need to copy the template files: cp templates/prof_* lists/the-existing-list/ for new lists, nothing needs to be done. finally, visit the URL: http://your.domain/mailman/profile/view/name-of-list notes: ^^^^^^ 1. profile information is made available to list members and admins when private_roster == 0 or 1. it is made available only to list admins when private_roster == 2. profile information is not available otherwise. 2. the database is really just a collection of pickles, one for each subscriber, stored in lists/name-of-list/profiles/. 3. i've used a whole slew of replacement MM tags, but they all look like <MM-P-foobar> or <MM-P--privatefoobar>. they won't pollute other tags.

Skinning Mailman (how to add a customer UI in five minutes or less...)
by Chuq Von Rospach 01 Jun '01

01 Jun '01

I've got this running now, so I figured I'd toss out a cookbook recipe on it while it's fresh. I've always hacked Mailman to install a custom interface on it so it matches the rest of my sites (for instance, see www.hockeyfanz.com/mailman/listinfo). The downside to this is that every time a new release comes out, you have to repatch all your changes. This makes it more work to upgrade than it should be, so I've been keeping an eye out for a better way to do this (and it gets worse -- on one of my sites, I also have a web board that needs custom patching, my mhonarc rcfiles that need patching, and the standard files that need tweaking every time the UI or graphics get revamped, and I'm not always in control of when they get redone...) I finally found a tool that takes care of this for me -- it's called mod_layout (www.tangent.org), and it's an apache module, so this is apache specific. If you run your apache with DSO (and if you don't, you're crazy...), installation is trivial. Download the thing, unpack it, then run "make" and "make install". It uses APXS to handle everything. To get it running, I added these lines to the httpd.conf. In my case, they're in the <virtualhost> declaration (it supports all fo the apache stuff, so it recognizes and honors virtual hosts, directories, etc... Very flexible beast) # stuff to wire in mod_layout LayoutMerge On LayoutFooter /home/httpd/html/footer.incl LayoutHeader /home/httpd/html/header.incl (I also have some lines causing it to NOT tweak files in directories I want left alone -- it can be configured on a file or directory basis, host basis, or systemwide) Then create the header and footer, and restart apache. What mod_layout does (as configured here) is put itself in the middle of everything, and when it sees the <BODY> declaration, it inserts the header. And when it sees </BODY> it inserts the footer before it. For the CGI or html page, it's completely transparent, and you don't have to worry about screwing up CSS or javascript, and it leaves cookies alone. It also doesn't affect your HTML, since it comes after the <BODY> so it can't interrupt tables or other location sensitive things. Very nice hack, IMHO, and allows you to wrap an interface around mailman quite nicely -- as well as most other CGI-based stuff that doesn't support templating. And even nicer, IMHO, is that if you need to change things, you change the included files -- and it magically propogates, no need to even restart apache. This gives me control over almost all of Mailman (and, hint hint) -- hopefully Barry will add the configuration for the rest down the road. One is that some of the text-box colors are hard-coded (see, for instance, /mailman/admin/listname/general/. It'd be nice (and it seems to be easy to do) to turn those into globals that can be set in mm_cfg.py instead of requiring someone to whack all of the source files they're sprinkled in. The other key one for me are some of the admin messages (Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py). I've modified some of the messages for various reasons, and it'd be nice if I could simply override their definitions in the mm_cfg.py file And the third place I've made custom changes are in some of the list templates (most radically templates/listinfo.html) -- but that's why they're template; you simply keep a copy somewhere and watch out for additions to the updated copy... It took me about three days and a couple of exchanges with the author of mod_layout to get it going the way I wanted (the documentation is still being fleshed out), but it's a nice improvement to the old way of doing things -- and since I know others build custom skins around their installations, I'd thought I'd pass this one along. If you want to see a version of mailman with mod_layout, see www.plaidworks.com. My mailman set up the old way is www.hockeyfanz.com (for now. I'll be working to move this to all my stuff over time...) Chuq

ANNOUNCE Mailman 2.0.5
by barry＠digicool.com 26 May '01

26 May '01

Folks, I've just released Mailman 2.0.5 which fixes a problem with stale lock files that can occur under certain situations when the user hits the `Stop' button on their browser. These stale lock files can cause mailing lists to be inaccessible for long periods of time (until the stale lock file times out or is manually removed). As usual, I'm releasing this as both a complete tarball and as a patch against Mailman 2.0.4. You /must/ update your source to 2.0.4 before applying the 2.0.5 patch. Since the patch is small, I'm including it in this message. To apply, cd into your 2.0.5 source tree and apply it like so: % patch -p0 < mailman-2.0.4-2.0.5.txt Currently both http://mailman.sourceforge.net and http://www.list.org are updated, and I expect the gnu.org site to be updated soon as well. The release information on SF is at http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=31693 See also http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman http://www.list.org http://mailman.sourceforge.net My thanks to those of you who gave the 2.0.5 pre-release a try!
