Hi All,
I'm trying to get mailman 3.0 installed in a fresh virtualenv with python
2.6 on ubuntu 10.04. I've sent messages in the irc channel a few times, but
no response there. Is the channel still an active place to get help?
I've stumbled my way successfully through a few errors, but need some help
now. I've been following the instructions at:
http://packages.python.org/mailman/docs/START.html
And using the package at
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mailman/3.0.0a6
After running bootstrap.py, when i run bin/buildout, i get the following
buildout errors::
Develop: '/home/jessy/src/mailman/mailman-3.0.0a6/.'
While:
Installing.
Getting section docs.
Initializing part docs.
Error: Missing option: buildout:find-links
And then:
>
> Develop: '/home/jessy/src/mailman/mailman-3.0.0a6/.'
While:
Installing.
Getting section docs.
Initializing part docs.
Error: Missing option: buildout:allow-hosts
Both of these were fixed by adding them as empty variables to my
buildout.cfg:
find-links =
allow-hosts =
I then get two zc.buildout recipe errors-- specifically for
z3c.recipe.sphinxdoc, and z3c.recipe.filetemplate. Installed those using
pip, and kept going. But now I get:
(mailman)1219 jessy@moltencore:~/src/mailman/mailman-3.0.0a6$ bin/buildout
Develop: '/home/jessy/src/mailman/mailman-3.0.0a6/.'
While:
Installing.
Getting section filetemplates.
Initializing part filetemplates.
An internal error occured due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a
recipe being used:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/zc/buildout/buildout.py", line

line 101, in working_set
**kw)
TypeError: install() got an unexpected keyword argument

Not sure if may this has to do with the buildout.cfg variables I added.
Anyway, help/advice on how to move forward would be much appreciated. Thank
you!

Hi everybody, I'm Chinese. My company use mailman to manage the maillist,
and I was hired last week for matain the mailman.
At yesterday, I found a problem, when the maillist manager get a
message(mail) that is to notify the manager a pending mail need to confirm,
and then open the second attachment and reply it. If some email client
encode the first plain/text content of the manager's confirmation mail to
base64, and then the confirmation will be failed.
Is this a problem?
Any echo is appreciated.
So sorry for my poor english.
We are building a newsletter application for the django framework. For bounce detection we want to use the Mailman bouncerAPI because reimplementing would be a bad idea. Now my question is: can i release my application under a less restrictive license like the bsd license? I don't distribute Mailman i only list it as a requirement in setup.py
According to the gpl-faq this is a borderline case because i only invoke a function and wait for the response.
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#NFUseGPLPlugins
Is it possible to use Mailman like this? Is this the intended use of the BouncerAPI?
