Errors installing Mailman 3.0
by Jessy Kate 22 Nov '10

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 1660, in main getattr(buildout, command)(args) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/zc/buildout/buildout.py", line 416, in install [self[part]['recipe'] for part in install_parts] File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/zc/buildout/buildout.py", line 964, in __getitem__ options._initialize() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/zc/buildout/buildout.py", line 1051, in _initialize self.recipe = recipe_class(buildout, name, self) File "/development/virtualenv/mailman/lib/python2.6/site-packages/z3c/recipe/filetemplate/__init__.py", line 63, in __init__ orig_distributions, ws = eggs.working_set() File "/development/virtualenv/mailman/lib/python2.6/site-packages/zc.recipe.egg-1.3.2-py2.6.egg/zc/recipe/egg/egg.py", line 101, in working_set **kw) TypeError: install() got an unexpected keyword argument 'include_site_packages' 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! Jessy -- Jessy Cowan-Sharp http://jessykate.com

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.

Can i use the Bouncer API a Programm wich is not GPL?
by Marc Egli 06 Nov '10

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? Marc
