configuration bug
by Thomas Krichel March 28, 2004

March 28, 2004

Hi, I send the appended to mailman-users but I am not aware of a reply. Could one of you guys give me a hint on what to check to get rid of the problem? Or does configuration via files just not work? Thomas Krichel mailto:krichel@openlib.org http://openlib.org/home/krichel RePEc:per:1965-06-05:thomas_krichel Hi, I work as a volunteer for NEP: New Economics Paper, see http://nep.repec.org. We have a lot of lists. All have identical setup, bar the name, title, and owners. I need to automate the configuration. But that does not seem to work. It has not been working for months. I wrote to the Debian maintainer but I have no response. I am in dispair. I run the version of mailman distributed with the testing verison of Debian admnep@arcano:~$ /home/admnep/mailman/bin/version Using Mailman version: 2.1.4 I can create a test list sh-2.05b$ /var/lib/mailman/bin/newlist testlist krichel(a)openlib.org testpass To finish creating your mailing list, you must edit your /etc/aliases (or equivalent) file by adding the following lines, and possibly running the `newaliases' program: ## testlist mailing list testlist: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post testlist" testlist-admin: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin testlist" testlist-bounces: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces testlist" testlist-confirm: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm testlist" testlist-join: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join testlist" testlist-leave: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave testlist" testlist-owner: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner testlist" testlist-request: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request testlist" testlist-subscribe: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe testlist" testlist-unsubscribe: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe testlist" Hit enter to notify testlist owner... I can then output its configuration /var/lib/mailman/bin/config_list -o /tmp/testlist.conf testlist I can use the same testlist file to configure my list /var/lib/mailman/bin/config_list -i /tmp/testlist.conf testlist No error reported, but the list is missconfiguered and can not be accessed on the web interface. Here is what's happening, say if I want to configure again sh-2.05b$ /var/lib/mailman/bin/config_list -o /tmp/testlist.conf testlist Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/lib/mailman/bin/config_list", line 353, in ? main() File "/var/lib/mailman/bin/config_list", line 346, in main do_output(listname, outfile) File "/var/lib/mailman/bin/config_list", line 117, in do_output do_list_categories(mlist, k, None, outfp) File "/var/lib/mailman/bin/config_list", line 127, in do_list_categories info = mlist.GetConfigInfo(k, subcat) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 428, in GetConfigInfo value = gui.GetConfigInfo(self, category, subcat) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Gui/General.py", line 53, in GetConfigInfo optvals = [mlist.new_member_options & bitfields[o] for o in OPTIONS] TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for &: 'list' and 'int' The same error on the web interface Bug in Mailman version 2.1.4 We're sorry, we hit a bug!

Email admin interface for subscription approve/deny?
by zimmy＠nc.rr.com March 22, 2004

March 22, 2004

What is the status of the admin-by-email interface for approving/denying subscription requests? I've seen several requests for it (in the archives), and suggestions that perhaps some parts have been worked on, but no concrete info. It appeasr that group-add-by-email can be used as a poor work-around, tho the user is not removed from the pending list, so daily reminds are still sent. My scenario is - user requests subscription to list - request is forwarded to admin for approval - that request is taken by procmail to a script - script compares user addr against list of pre-approved addr - script returns confirm/deby email to list interface whole process takes delay of 2-3 round-trip emails, with no human interaction. I've had this working with Yahoogroups and with Majordomo. (un)fortunately(?) my web host uses mailman and I can not see how to do this with mailman. I would very much like to use the locally provided email lists vs. the remote ones I use now. Please advise on how to do this with an ISP-installed (ie I cannot hack it) copy of mailman. And.or what is the status/ETA of this feature? Thanks, Mike

New Template Designs
by [Aaron Schaap] March 22, 2004

March 22, 2004

I'd like to help out with the design of Mailman and want to know the step's in which I should do this. Should I just design something and then present it or is there a group that is currently working on the look and feel of Mailman? My Reasoning - I'd like to: - improve usability - make templates compliant with XHTML 1.0 and CSS - bring a fresh look to mailman. I'd love to work with anyone else that's interested in this or if need be - I can start up a group. ------------------------- Aaron Schaap Elevator Up - Internet Consulting & Development Phone: 616-566-1423 Web: www.elevatorup.com Email: aaron.schaap(a)elevatorup.com

Can moderators have access to Membership management options?
by Andrzej Kasperowicz March 22, 2004

March 22, 2004

I wish that moderators have access to Membership management options, but not to all other options available to list-owner. Is that possible? If not could it be included in the next Mailman edition? Would be also good if they could edit posts before approving, and not only reject or discard them. ak

How could be forwarded moderated post with moderator's comments?
by Andrzej Kasperowicz March 22, 2004

March 22, 2004

Is that possible to forward moderated post along with moderator's comments to another address (at the moment posts are forwarded without those comments - posts with moderator's comments go only to authors of moderated posts, and cannot be forwarded anywhere else with those comments). ak
