What is the name of the CGI wrapper program? I deleted everything from /home/mailman and did a ./configure --with-mail-gid=8 --with-cgi-gid=60001 I then did a make install and created a test list with me as admin. I went to the URL in the email that was sent and it says: The expected gid of the Mailman CGI wrapper did not match the gid as set by the Web server. The most likely cause is that Mailman was configured and installed incorrectly. Please read the INSTALL instructions again, paying close attention to the --with-cgi-gid configure option. This entry is being stored in your syslog: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 60001, GOT gid 70. (Reconfigure to take 70?) What does "WANTED gid 60001" mean? What does "GOT gid 70" mean? Thanks, Pete

Problems with sendmail
by Markus Keller 05 Nov '99

05 Nov '99

Hi List I' am a new member of the list and I have just installed mailman on my server. The web pages work fine but when i send a message to a list sendmail sends me an error message: unknown mailer 554 "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner mylist" I have also made all entries in my alias file. I used majordomo before mailman and i never had a problem with sendmail. Do I have to add a M configuration file declaration in my sendmail.cf file? I were very glad for all kinds of tips that help me to solve my problem. greetings Markus

Sendmail error or mailman error?
by Pete Holsberg 04 Nov '99

I installed mailman, and created a test mailing list. I subscribed an alter ego account, and replied to the ensuing message. The result was: The original message was received at Thu, 4 Nov 1999 16:48:53 -0500 from tecoma.mccc.edu [198.133.170.1] ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test" (expanded from: <test-request(a)listserv.mccc.edu>) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 554 "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test"... unknown mailer error 2 /etc/aliases contains: # # Mailman # mailman: pjh(a)mccc.edu mailman-owner: mailman # ## test mailing list ## created: 04-Nov-1999 root test: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test" test-admin: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test" test-request: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test" owner-test: test-admin test-owner: test-admin # Is the error in mailman or sendmail?

This is with 1.0, but I don't remember anything about >rc2 that broke that. umm. I went back and checked my configuration just to be sure and found that I had fat fingered the privacy option for the archives. my face is red.. --- eric Eric S Johansson esj(a)inguide.com esj(a)harvee.billerica.ma.us This message was composed using NaturallySpeaking.

Mailman on FreeBSD
by menger＠dhs.org 04 Nov '99

04 Nov '99

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had had any sucess running maiman on FreeBSD 3.x? I have tried but when I send a message to the list python goes zombie. Please not that I am running qmail which may (but I doubt it) be causing the problem. I did compile with --with-mail-gid='id -g alias' which works on linux. If anyone has got it to work or has an idea I would really appricate some help. from, Matthew Enger menger(a)dhs.org

archive (in)security
by Eric S. Johansson 04 Nov '99

is there any way I can limit access to a mailing list's archives to only subscribers? if I make the list archive private, it vanishes from access by all. I'm using mailman v1.0 rc2. --- eric Eric S Johansson esj(a)inguide.com esj(a)harvee.billerica.ma.us This message was composed using NaturallySpeaking.

POP3 Accounts
by Charles Brown 04 Nov '99

04 Nov '99

All, This probably a terribly dumb question, but... In using Mailman, do I need to create a POP3 account for each mail list? This seems to be my admin's biggest argument against using MLM's. -- Charles Brown e-mail cbrown(a)sensis.com Sensis Corporation phone 315.445.5744 5793 Widewaters Pkwy fax 315.445.9401 DeWitt, NY 13214 www http://www.sensis.com USA intra http://cbrown

duplicate messages
by Justin Wells 04 Nov '99

04 Nov '99

I am still having duplicate message problems. I think, though, that I have a bit more information now than before. My own messages are much more likely to cause duplicates than anyone elses. The difference is that I am a local user on the machine, so my messages often wind up getting delivered to mailman as: From: justin whereas everyone else would have an @ sign and an address. I think this breaks something. The consequence of this breaking is that the delivery process hangs after delivering most of the mail, at the end of the delivery. This hung process will stick around forever--until I reboot the machine. At that point somehow mailman detects that the mail was not delivered properly (it gets a bounce?) and it resends a whole batch of mail out--to people who have already received it. I think there are two bugs here: #1- mailman not coping with my local mail address #2- mailman aggressively sending out mail Please help! Justin
