Mailman FAQ Wizard going down temporarily...
by Brad Knowles 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

Folks, We're in the process of switching www.python.org to a new machine, and it may take a while for the DNS changes to propagate. In the meanwhile, we're disallowing updates to the Mailman FAQ Wizard on the old machine, so that we can make sure we've got the absolute latest material on the new system. Please bear with us. I believe that the new machine will be a huge improvement over the old creaky system, but it may take us a day or two to get all the bugs worked out. If you run into any unusual problems, please let us know. -- Brad Knowles <brad(a)python.org> Python.org Postmaster Team

Debugging lost messages?
by Brad Knowles 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

Folks, I've got another mailing list server installation (Mailman 2.1.5 and postfix 2.2-20040504), and I've just discovered that one of the lists has been broken for about a month and I'm having some problems figuring out how messages are being lost. The postfix logs are clearly showing the messages being sent to "post", but no evidence of them shows up anywhere in the Mailman logs. They're not in the post, error, or vette logs, and I can't figure out where else to be looking. I also can't figure out where I need to add some more debugging information to the log output. I'm stumped. Can someone give me some advice here? -- Brad Knowles, <brad(a)stop.mail-abuse.org> "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.

Mailman and S/MIME: OpenSSL licensing vs GPGME
by Joost van Baal 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hi, I am working on integrating PGP and S/MIME with Mailman (see http://non-gnu.uvt.nl/pub/mailman/ and my previous post http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2005-March/017974.html). The PGP stuff works, I am now working with pyme (http://pyme.sourceforge.net/) and GPGME to get S/MIME stuff done. I've found out the hard way that GPGME is pretty rough on the edges and am considering moving to OpenSSL (e.g. using pyOpenSSL or M2Crypto). I would really like to get my patch used by a lot of people, and it would really rock if one day the patch could get shipped with the upstream Mailman distribution. Now, would using a Python OpenSSL library diminish my chances, e.g. because of licensing issues? And should I therefore stick with GPGME? Thanks for any insight. Bye, Joost -- Joost van Baal http://abramowitz.uvt.nl/ Tilburg University j.e.vanbaal(a)uvt.nl The Netherlands

Link to the "Reply-To munging considered useful" essay
by Mark Sapiro 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Some time ago, the link to the "Reply-To munging considered useful" essay changed from http://www.metasystema.org/essays/reply-to-useful.mhtml to http://www.metasystema.net/essays/reply-to.mhtml This was fixed by Barry in CVS for mailman/mailman/Mailman/Gui/General.py on July 1, 2005, but only in the details for reply_goes_to_list. I just noticed the link is also in the details for reply_to_address and needs to be fixed there too. -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Can one of the developers PLEASE apply the patches in SF report 1235567? Having a report open for almost 3 months now WITH patches is not really appreciative of your community. =\ Thanks, -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(-at-)in-nomine.org> / asmodai Free Tibet! http://www.savetibet.org/ | http://www.andf.info/ http://www.tendra.org/ | http://www.in-nomine.org/ | catcher(a)in-nomine.org When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons.
