Bounce removal parameters default values
by Greg Stark Oct. 23, 2003

Oct. 23, 2003

I find I am being removed from mailman mailing lists left and right. I believe the default values for the bounce removal should be reconsidered. It's possible that you haven't had many users in my situation and so haven't really had a chance to tune these parameters on the low end yet. But they clearly aren't working for me at a few sites. My particular situation is that my site has seen fit to filter viruses by refusing delivery. This causes a bounce from the remote MTA every time someone … [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Developers] Mailman password and administrative reminders
by Dan Mick Aug. 14, 2003

? 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 … [View More]

still having admin cookie problem
by Bill Bradford April 8, 2003

April 8, 2003

I'm running MM 2.1.1, and am *still* seeing the admin cookie problem - when I go to accept/discard posts that were held for moderation, select the option for each one, then hit submit - it then takes me *back* to the password entry screen, I have to enter the admin password *again*, and then do it all over and hit submit a second time before it will take effect. This has been tested and happens even with new installations of browsers that have *no* cookies stored. Suggestions? Bill -- … [View More]

Confirm address change always returns error
by Stonewall Ballard March 29, 2003

March 29, 2003

In 2.1.1+ (confirmed with a fresh CVS build today), when a user replies to a confirmation message sent by Mailman in response to an email address change (on the web page), Mailman changes the address, but replies with an error (below). This confuses users. The subscribe log has entries for the new address as "pending", then as "new", with no errors or apparent problems. It seems odd to me that this hasn't been reported as a bug, since it appears to have been around for several months, at … [View More]

Problems mailing to the list
by ljacobs March 28, 2003

March 28, 2003

Folks -- Somehow this bogus address got entered into one of my lists. It was not obvious that this individual had entered this address or that it was being stored incorrectly, but while trying to understand why I was having problems with this list, I discovered this address, with quotes & all: "pgyallay"@keap@fone.net I have since deleted this address. Now in the error file, when I was attempting to mail to this moderator-only list, I would get the following: Mar 27 16:36:56 2003 (27183)… [View More] Uncaught runner exception: Mar 27 16:36:56 2003 (27183) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 105, in _oneloop self._onefile(msg, msgdata) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 155, in _onefile keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 129, in _dispose status = self._dopipeline(mlist, msg, msgdata, pipeline) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 152, in _dopipeline sys.modules[modname].process(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py", line 212, in process raise Errors.SomeRecipientsFailed(tempfailures, permfailures) SomeRecipientsFailed Mar 27 16:36:56 2003 (27183) SHUNTING: 1041577349.329875+47c1c7b9cd44c3e755ed5dc3549ab225ed1a848f I do not understand the python error message, but does it seem like this error might be related to the attempt to mail the bogus address? And is it possible that having this address wedged in my list would prevent other members to receive emails from ths list? That does appear to be the symptom, i.e., a very small number of subscribers received my last few mailings, and in fact when investigating the config.db with dumpb.db, it looked like most of the subscribers addressed had been flagged as bounced! I then tried to remove all members from the list, but the remove_members command failed to remove all the members even though they all received a remove message! I had forgotten to change the "do not email the members when removed/unsubscribed"! I understand there is a version of Mailman that prevents future subscriptions with bogus addresses, but does anyone think my problem with not being able to send messages to the entire list (8,600 members) is related to that bad address? Thanks for any help and suggestions. ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMessaging system at mandala-designs.com [View Less]

[Mailman-Developers] How to change web appearances on Listinfo, ListAdmin
by Feng Jeffrey March 26, 2003

March 26, 2003

Hi, I've installed Mailman on our server and it works beautifully, but one thing people at our site want is to make the appearance of the index page "listinfo" look similar to the web pages on our site. Is there a way to do that? I found out I can change the appearances of the mail lists by changing the template files. Thanks in advance.
