? 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.

MHonArc integration
by Prakash Subramanian 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

I am trying to use a simple method to include MHonArc archiver enabled with monthly archive functionality. I found your script that does, but I am not sure how to use it. I tried replacing ~mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py with your MHonArc.py but it gives the following error message. ~mailman/bin/arch mylist Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/arch", line 43, in ? from Mailman.Archiver.HyperArch import HyperArchive, Article ImportError: cannot import name Article The method Article is been used by various script and I am not able to get rid of this . Please advice on how to use your script. Another question, why Many thanks in advance. Prakash

[ mailman-Patches-644129 ] Edit held message header/body

Patches item #644129, was opened at 2002-11-26 09:44 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=644129&group_i… Category: list administration >Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: anser (anser) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Edit held message header/body Initial Comment: Here is my preliminary (brute force) patch to allow full editing of headers and bodies of messages being held for approval in Mailman 2.1 (as of beta 5). I have released versions of this for 1.x and 2.0.x but wanted to wait until 2.1 was fairly stable before releasing this one. You must set HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES = 0 in your installation's mm_cfg.py for this to work. I may support pickles in a future version. Personally I don't see that much performance difference anyway, not on the held stuff... Also note that if you had HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES = 1 (the default) when you created a list, you must recreate it after changing that variable. (Learned the hard way) This patch overrides the ADMINDB_PAGE_TEXT_LIMIT setting, so if you have megabyte messages being held, be ready to wait. Also - this version doesn't change the request database, so if you change the Subject: header you won't see the change reflected in the summary list (but it will be sent out your way when you Approve). Happy mailmanning! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Barry A.

Uncaught bounce notification
by Marc MERLIN 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

So, unless I'm missing something, if you use VERP, you should be able to process any bounce from a subscriber. Is it desirable for mailman to pass on a VERP bounce coming from a held message notification sent to a non subscriber? Would it make sense for mailman if it receives a bounce that is obviously verped and that there is no such member, to just drop it silently (maybe with a log entry)?

Howto submit patches?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi. I'm wondering how I should submit a patch. There is a patch manager on sf.net, but apparently without possibily to add a patch, at least for people who are not registered for the project. So is sending them to mailman-developers(a)python.org the best way?

[ mailman-Bugs-645906 ] User supplied HTML with % kills index.ht

Bugs item #645906, was opened at 2002-11-29 17:52 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=645906&group_i… Category: Pipermail Group: 2.1 beta Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Joe R. Doupnik (jdoupnik) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: User supplied HTML with % kills index.ht Initial Comment: Mailman 2.1b5. Edit archtoc.html or listinfo.html, include table with phrase width=100% and find that the list's archive overall index.html page is unformed (present but the various MM items are left as bare %(foobar)s style). After wasting a whole day on this the problem boils down to that percent sign in user-supplied HTML. It kills the high level index.html file. We don''t know about this until a full list archive operation is performed, because at the end the code creates the new index.html from the template files. Ugh. Likely some parser deep in the system is overreacting to the percent symbol. Needs fixing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=645906&group_i…

Pretty-printed output from dumpdb is read from stdin and written to either a marshal (.db) or pickle (.pck) depending on your choice of filename and switches. i.e. You need two files: the loaddb script itself which goes in 'mailman/bin' - and the loaddb_patch file, which modifies configure.in and bin/Makefile.in to automatically install loaddb with the other scripts. After installing the script and patch, you will need to rerun 'configure' and 'make install.' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=645787&group_i…
