Minor templates error
by Tom Neff 23 Nov '02

23 Nov '02

This is hardly worth filing a bug or patch, I just noticed that in templates/en/verify.txt under the latest 2.1, it says: If you do not wish to be subscribed from this list, please simply... "Subscribed from" is ungrammatical, probably this text was boilerplated from something that said "removed" or "unsubscribed from". The line should read If you do not wish to be subscribed TO this list, please simply... (emphasis added) Thanks for a great product!

Digest Subject

I am not very sure but looks like subject header of digest is not mime encoded.

SOLVED: Postfix+Mailman alias-free and in separate namespace
by Dax Kelson 23 Nov '02

23 Nov '02

I've created the script postfix-to-mailman.py. Python seemed natural, as mailman is written in python, and invoking postfix-to-mailman.py script on delivery to mailman just warms up the disk cache with all the python code and speeds invocation of mailman. Postfix configuration samples (thanks Wietse) can be found inside the script itself. The script is heavily based on the qmail-to-postfix script by Bruce Perens. You can get the script at: http://www.gurulabs.com/downloads.html Dax Kelson Guru Labs

make install error (21b5+)
by Danny Terweij 22 Nov '02

22 Nov '02

Hi, I created a vmware linux setup (rh8) and want to try some things out. I installed this rh8 with minimum packages and no GUI. Just a few minutes ago i retreived a fresh CVS. Created user mailman. Did the staps from INSTALL ./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python2 --with-mail-gid=12 --with-cgi-gid =apache su - mailman make install and got finaly : Compiling /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/i18n.py ... Compiling /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/versions.py ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/update", line 44, in ? import paths File "bin/paths.py", line 59, in ? import korean ImportError: No module named korean make: *** [update] Error 1 So i think something is not good at the CVS. Until it does not install , my rh7.2 machine will be running the (buggy) b4+ version :( Whats wrong and fix it :) Danny Terweij Dutch Translator

Subscrib user through email client withou notification
by Kory Wheatley 22 Nov '02

22 Nov '02

How can I subscribe an user to a mailman list through an email client, (using the listname-request commands), without them being notified and having to confirm the subscription? I know you can do this through the command line, but I want to be able to do it through a webmail client. Here is the command I used below. subscribe password address=email(a)yahoo.com -- Kory Wheatley Academic Computing Analyst Sr. Phone 282-3874 ######################################### Everything must point to him.

Fwd: [Mailman-Developers] [ mailman-Bugs-640775 ] Qrunner suddenly doesn't work anymore
by Richard Barrett 22 Nov '02

22 Nov '02

Barry et al You can ignore what I said below in my posting yesterday evening about the subject bug report; a complete non sequitur. The problem I had was with UserDict.pyc (not Utils.pyc) appearing out of place in $prefix/Mailman/ The bug report suggests corruption of Utils.pyc in its correct place. Richard I had said: Barry I posted on the subject '[Mailman-Users] Spurious ImportError stopping the qrunner' and you responded on 19 Nov If you recollect I said that the problem was cured by removing a file $prefix /Mailman/Utils.pyc which had automagically appeared out of place. Looks like someone else has found the same cure is necessary, albeit for a different spurious exception Python or Mailman problem or a conspiracy ??

2.1b5 pipermail archives assume all posts are in list language charset?
by Ben Gertzfield 22 Nov '02

22 Nov '02

Barry, i18n folks, I installed 2.1b5 to see how the status of pipermail archives and multilanguage posts was coming along. It's starting to look good on the main index page. Here's a test I made with Japanese, Chinese, and German all on the same page (note: I don't know Chinese or German so I just made up something that looked good for the test ;) The list is configured to allow all languages, but is set to us-ascii. http://foxden.org/pipermail/mailman/2002-November/thread.html (Ignore the duplicate Chinese test). The multilingual Subject lines are all converted to Unicode entities perfectly. But if you click on the second post (posted in iso-2022-jp), you can see that the HTML specifies us-ascii as the character set: http://foxden.org/pipermail/mailman/2002-November/000001.html resulting in major mojibake (FYI, Barry, "mojibake" is the Japanese word for "messed up characters", perfectly applicable here since there's no word for that in English). Where is pipermail getting the us-ascii from? I assume it's from the list config being set to English as the default list. But shouldn't it get the charset of the post from the post itself? Interestingly, the Subject on the above url is Unicode escaped, but the title of the page is: <title> [Mailman] =?iso-2022-jp?b?GyRCRnxLXDhsJUYlOSVIGyhC?= </title> Literally, in base64! Barry, you want I should work on this some this week, or do you have time to look at it? Ben
