Thank for your reply Bill. Ok. I did the following: 1) touch mailman/data/aliases 2) postalias hash:mailman/data/aliases generates mailman/data/aliases.db 3) bin/newlist and obtain the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/scripts/driver", line 96, in run_main main() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/create.py", line 54, in main process_request(doc, cgidata) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/create.py", line 178, in process_request sys.modules[modname].create(mlist, cgi=1) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 134, in create addlist(mlist, db, fp) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 91, in addlist print >> fp, '# CREATED:', time.ctime() TypeError: function requires at least one argument And the mailman/data/aliases contains this: # This file is generated by Mailman, and is kept in sync with the # binary hash file aliases.db.

Nope, never was supported, and if you look at the current setup the forms can be very large if ADMINDB_PAGE_TEXT_LIMIT is set large enough (I have mine set to 10Meg) and there are nough/large_enough held posts. -- J C Lawrence )\._.,--....,'``. ---------(*) /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. claw(a)kanga.nu `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.' http://www.kanga.nu/~claw/ Oh Freddled Gruntbuggly

Problem 2.1a2 with aliases.db n�Postfix
by Rodolfo Pilas 10 Aug '01

10 Aug '01

I have explained my problem in mailman-users but I continue with the problem and my mail server is down now. For this reason I paste here my previous postings in mailman-users. I can not add new lists into mailman/data/aliases.db to be used by Postfix. I appreciate all of your possible help. And I can do all test or modifications that you suggest. ----- FIRST POSTING -------------------- Now I have problem with aliases.db file, and need help! I uses Postfix. README.POSTFIX says: - touch the file $mailman/data/aliases.db and make sure that both the owner and group-owner of the file is `mailman'. Make sure that both owner and group have read and write permission. see ls -al /var/spool/mailman/data/aliases.db -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 0 Aug 9 06:07 aliases.db well, when I create a new list I receive the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/scripts/driver", line 96, in run_main main() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/create.py", line 54, in main process_request(doc, cgidata) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/create.py", line 178, in process_request sys.modules[modname].create(mlist, cgi=1) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 122, in create db = dbhash.open(DBFILE, 'c') File "/var/tmp/python-root//usr/lib/python2.0/dbhash.py", line 8, in open return bsddb.hashopen(file, flag, mode) error: (22, 'Invalid argument') I understand that problem is in the Postfix.py", line 122, in create db = dbhash.open(DBFILE, 'c') and is not a problem of Postfix daemon running as nobody:nobody. The aliases.db remains 0 byte but all other task are completed (the list can be listed and admin). Postfix says: postfix/local[19621]: fatal: open database /var/spool/mailman/data/aliases.db: Invalid argument postfix/qmgr[19291]: warning: end of input while receiving string data from service private/local postfix/qmgr[19291]: warning: private/local: malformed response postfix/master[19289]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/local pid 19621 exit status 1 postfix/master[19289]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/local: bad command startup -- throttling Can somebody help me, please?? ------------ SECOND POSTING ---------------------- El Fri, 10 Aug 2001 11:16:25 -0400 Greg Ward <gward(a)mems-exchange.org> ha escrito: > On 09 August 2001, Rodolfo Pilas said: > > see ls -al /var/spool/mailman/data/aliases.db > > > > -rw-rw-r-- 1 mailman mailman 0 Aug 9 06:07 aliases.db > Berkeley DB doesn't like zero-byte files.

I have seen a project on SourgeForge about a PGP addition to mailman. Is anyone working on this? I need to create this for a project I am working on and just don't want to reinvent if possible. :)

Re: [Mailman-Developers] modifying list archives html?
by Dan Mick 09 Aug '01

I think by hacking source, or using a third-party archiver that's more configurable. I just wish there were a third-party archiver that wrapped up the "start a new one monthly or weekly" or whatever without a bunch of custom cron hacks. > Anybody know how to modify the default look of the HTML archives > that mailman/pipermail produces?

Anybody know how to modify the default look of the HTML archives that mailman/pipermail produces? I'd like to add banner ads at the top of all the list archive pages... and a way to link back to the main page that hosts the lists. (ugh, I know, but I gotta pay the bills somehow..)

Answering my own question with my own standard answer: "check out bin/". addlang looks like the trick (although its usage message still calls it "newlang"). Barry, where would you like such nit-bugs? barry(a)wooz.org? Sourceforge? Nowhere? :)

Language selection in 2.1
by Dan Mick 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

Just CVSed to latest and installed a test machine. I only seem to get 'en' showing up in the various web-interface dropdown boxes for available languages or GUI-page translations. Is there some manual step to enable other languages, or should it be automagic? The code seems to be enumerating directories, and I seem to have multiple dirs under messages/ at least; anyone know a trick, or should I keep diagnosing?
