When qrunner tries to process this message, it segfaults, and leaves its locks. When subsequent qrunner passes occur, it just complains that it can't get the lock. Removing the locks just causes it to segfault again. The only solution I've found it to simply remove the message from the queue. This originally happened with Mailman 2.0.8, but I upgraded to 2.0.11 and it still occurred. I was able to reproduce the problem by mailing the contents of the message to the -admin address again. The .msg and .db files are attached.

Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-05-25 03:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 I've no idea why you get a core dump, but by definition it must be a bug in Python. No Python script should ever be able to crash the interpreter. I can't find anything wrong with the files you uploaded. Is there any chance you can 1) run gdb on the resulting core file to get a stack trace; 2) upgrade your Python to something newer than 1.5.2? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=560127&group_id…

[ mailman-Feature Requests-560344 ] List "styles" should be supported.

Initial Comment: Some feedback on mailman, which I have now been using for about 5 months: -- The list type information is really misplaced in the mailman interface.

This is very distinct from configuring the software on the server. --So I'm requesting that this bug be moved to a new bug category, in fact.

Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-05-25 03:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Thanks for the url, interesting article. As to the specific bug report, the problem is that there really needs to be a way to specify a "style" of a mailing list. Currently, setting up an announce-only list means twiddling a bunch of disparate variables. That's not good, but it'll have to do for MM2.1. So I'd actually categorize this as a feature request, and in fact, will move it to that tracker. Mailing lists should support common high-level styles or types. I'm also changing the Summary: of this bug accordingly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=560344&group_id…

Odd options wording
by Jon Parise May 24, 2002

May 24, 2002

On the subscriber's options screen in Mailman 2.1b2+, this text existis: "Conceal yourself from subscriber list? When someone views the list membership, your email address is normally shown (in an obscured fashion to thwart spam harvesters). If you do not want your email address to show up on this membership roster, select No for this option." It sounds like that "No" should be changed to a "Yes" for the statements to agree and make sense. -- Jon Parise (jon(a)csh.rit.edu) .
