Ummm, on other thing: I don't think the populate_new_list is part of 1.0b8 at all -- have you tried using bin/add_members instead? -- Harald

flock errors via cron
by Christopher Lindsey Feb. 4, 1999

Feb. 4, 1999

Howdy all, Every time that $prefix/cron/run_queue is executed I get a mail message with errors: Traceback (innermost last): File "/home/staff/mailman/cron/run_queue", line 31, in ?

subscribers being ignored...
by Jerry Adlersfluegel Feb. 4, 1999

Feb. 4, 1999

My setup: Linux 2.0.32 sendmail 8.8.7 mailman 1.0b8 I have a single list with 77 subscribers. I am hosting the list through a modem, and it is great. The improvements since b5 are such that delivery time has improved from over 4 minutes for a typical message to about 1:30. Everyone is happy with the list. Except for a couple people that don't receive any of the traffic. I added a couple subscribers over a week ago, and they were getting the list until Sunday night. Now they just don't get any … [View More]

[Q] a couple of newbie questions
by Wei-Bin Chen Feb. 4, 1999

Feb. 4, 1999

Hi, all, Just tried out the Mailman package, and I am pretty happy with it. :-) Congratulation to the developers! And just a couple of lame newbie questions though... 1) is there anyway (web-base/manual editing) to delete certain messages from archive? Yes, I know the purpose of archiving IS to keep everything, but so often one NEEDS to delete TEST messages and SPAMs... 2) I saw in this list that messages under the same thread (i.e. all subsequent replies) are expanded under the thread … [View More]

Feature questions...
by Christopher Lindsey Feb. 4, 1999

Feb. 4, 1999

Well, I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with Mailman. After a bit of futzing around I was able to get it to work fine on two separate machines -- the Web interface on one, the internals on another. I have some questions though... o We round-robin through a half-dozen Web servers or so here. Does Mailman do any kind of locking to ensure that users connecting to separate Web servers won't munge each other's data? Or does it require a "dedicated" server? o Is … [View More]

[Greg Stein] > What do I do? Go into 1.0b8 and do a ./configure and a make and then a > make upgrade? Oh, but wait... where does "make install" happen. But if I > make install before make upgrade, then isn't there a point when my > mailman system is inconsistent? Installing over an in-production Mailman is not an atomic operation, no. My best bet at a "safe" upgrade process would be: "./configure && make" Disable message delivery into Mailman (turn off the MTA or … [View More]
