Mailman 3 December 1999 - Mailman-Users

Footer Question..
by Bryan Bunch 30 Dec '99

30 Dec '99

Hello All, I have recently started using Mailman, and am quite please with it. I have one question/problem to ask. I noticed if a user posts a message in plain text mode, the footer appears on the messages as it should, but if a user posts a message in HTML format, there is no footer. Is there a way to make the footer appear if the poster posts in HTML format (most new mail readers default to HTML format)? Thanks for any help. Pertinent info: FreeBSD 2.2.x-STABLE Apache 1.3.9 Mailman 1.1 Bryan Bunch

Re: [Mailman-Users] No Publicly available lists?

Perhaps I should clarify. The lists which I have set to be public aren't showing up in listinfo; (but do still show up in the admin pages) Private lists aren't showing up anywhere, just like they should. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Ciordia <andy(a)goingv.com> To: Christine Davis <c.davis(a)actrix.gen.nz> Cc: Mailman-Users(a)python.org <Mailman-Users(a)python.org> Date: Thursday, December 30, 1999 10:56 AM Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] No Publicly available lists? >There is an option that asks if you would like to make this list public. >Public being defined as showing up on said webpage you noticed.

Hi, When I use Outlook 98 to post a message with an attachment to my list, the attachment is removed by Mailman: the header Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----_=_NextPart_000_01BF5214.9F5E6390" is removed and the message then appears directly like this: begin 600 becmsdm.pdf M)5!$1BTQ+C(@#0HEXN//TPT*(`T*.2`P(&]B:@T*/#P-"B],96YG=&@@,3`@ M,"!2#0HO1FEL=&5R("],6E=$96-O9&4@#0H^/@T*<W1R96%M#0J`$(J`T;C< and so on... any idea why the Content-Type headers get lost ? -- Thiébaut CHAMPENIER

We would appreciate guidance from members of this list. After yearss of being hosted by an ISP and ussing Majordomo, we've moved to our own co-located server running Redhat Linux 6.1 that we administer. Our understanding of Linux is limited. Any help will be appreciated. Following the install directions, we created a mailman account at /home/mailman. Also created group mailman -- and chmod'd as per install instructions. $ whereis python python: /usr/bin/python1.5 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/python1.5 $ whereis gcc gcc: /usr/bin/gcc /usr/man/man1/gcc.1 So when we run configure, we get: $ ./configure --with-mail-gid=12 --with-cgi-gid=nobody ./configure: ./config.log: Permission denied ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor ./configure: confdefs.h: Permission denied creating cache ./config.cache ./configure: ./config.cache: Permission denied checking for --with-python... ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor checking for python... ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor /usr/bin/python checking Python interpreter... ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor /usr/bin/python checking for a BSD compatible install... ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor /usr/bin/install -c checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor ./configure: conftestmake: Permission denied no checking for true... ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor /bin/true checking for --without-gcc... ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor no checking for gcc... ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor ./configure: conftest.c: Permission denied ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor ./configure: 5: Bad file descriptor no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Tenant Network(tm) for Residential Tenants TenantNet(tm): http://tenant.net email: tenant(a)tenant.net NYtenants(tm) Discussion List: email to majordomo(a)list.tenant.net and in the body of the message put "subscribe nytenants".

MailMan or Pipermail bug or just pilot error?
by Skip Montanaro 29 Dec '99

29 Dec '99

I just joined the PythonMac SIG and decided to browse the list archives. I noticed that the most recent archives at http://www.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/ show 2009-December as the current month. Since this rollover stuff happens automatically my presumption is it's a bug in either MailMan or Pipermail.

How to change users host?
by Ilpo Kantonen 27 Dec '99

27 Dec '99

I asked some months ago how to change users host in mailman list if you are listowner. I got answer you can edit some file. But if I have no access to machine which runs mailman. How is it possible then? It would be neatest solution, if user can change himself/herself own address in list. Regards, Ilpo Kantonen.

ignored error
by A Iqbal Santyaswardan 27 Dec '99

Hi, I'm competing mailman with my friend's majordomo (and we're both still newbies at these things), whoever got theirs installed errorfree first will have the honor of having it used :) Well, so far I'm ahead since he still has to download and install a list-news plug in, while i've only to fix some "ignored" errors: I keep getting mail like this: Subject: Cron <mailman@server> /usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/gate_news Exception Mailman.LockFile.NotLockedError: <Mailman.LockFile.NotLockedError instance at 8186820> in <method LockFile.__del__ of LockFile instance at 80f7c88> ignored I get that every once in a while (cron, duh) but don't know what to fix. I have followed the install guide, twice, but still receives it. Oh, I'm using Linux Mandrake 6.1, Sendmail 8.9 Thanks in advance for the help that may come...

Need help getting setup
by J.D.K. Chipps 27 Dec '99

I've got everything pretty much set except the interface with my server. The instructions aren't very clear, (to a newbie). Proably make sense to someone that is more familiar with the systems involved. Can you break this down a little for me into particulars. For example step #4 of the INSTALL says: "Configure your Web server to give $prefix/cgi-bin permission to run CGI scripts" Where do I do this, and what entry/command do I use? -- Please help stop the slaughter http://woptura.com/rescue.html
