Hello I am Computer Science and Engineering 3rd year student at G. B. Pant Engineering College. I want to understand the codebase of mailman. I use pdb for debugging and I have already cloned the source code of mailman core from launchpad. I want to go through the working of code line by line. Can you tell me how to set up mailman core and debugging it? I use git for version control, do I need to learn bzr or git is sufficient for the project? How can I push the code to the launchpad after … [View More]

There are such tools but they're not integrated into the Mailman 2 web interface, and I think they're not in Postorius or Hyperkitty yet, either. They're frequently … [View More]

Almost all the pieces are already there to support mail merging, at least as a plugin. There's quite a bit of functionality in place to allow for pluggable MTA delivery methods. Right now, there's only one. Search src/mailman/config/schema.… [View More]

Re: [Mailman-Developers] Error while setting up Mailman

Hi Abhilash, No, I wasn't running mailman on a virtual environment. I will try setting up mailman again. It would have been great if the wiki also mentioned the steps to set-up a virtual environment. IMHO, one can easily google it still mentioning it in the wiki is better. I will be happy to add the documentation for the same.

That doesn't seem like a great idea, and I don't recall it doing that. Check to see if /usr/bin/master is a Python script and part of Mailman. If it isn't we need to figure out why Python is trying to run it.
