Nothing is sent to anyone. The log message comes from around line 1156 of .../Mailman/MailList.py, so things probably work OK that far. Shortly after that, control is passed over to Mailman.Deliverer.DeliverToList(), which pipes the message into .../Mailman/… [View More]

Have a look in your system logs (syslog facility LOG_MAIL, level LOG_CONSOLE) -- the "wrapper" program should have put some indication of why it failed (end exited with status 1) in there. My guess is that you configured mailman without the proper "--with-mail-gid=GROUP" option, so you'll need to reconfigure, … [View More]

Something went wrong when you did `make install`. You ~mailman/cgi-bin directory should look something like this: $ d total 342 1 drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 1024 Jan 25 22:17 ./ 1 drwxrwsr-x 15 mailman mailman 1024 … [View More]

Help a beginner, please

Hi! I am very new in mailman. The root installed(?) the mailman, and it is in the /etc/mailman /var/mailman (mainly links to /usr/lib/mailman and a public_html directory) /usr/lib/mailman directories (Debian Linux OS, Apache webserver). When I try to use newlist, it creates a subdirectory in etc/mailman and copies some html files there. Unfortunately it does not work and I have no idea how to set everything. Could you help me? (I have no INSTALL documentation for example. … [View More]Where can I find it? ) I receive error messages like this: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 3 Feb 1999 06:25:12 +0100 From: Cron Daemon <root(a)elfiz2.kee.hu> To: root(a)elfiz2.kee.hu Subject: Cron <root@elfiz2> run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.daily/cracklib: 45375 45375 /etc/cron.daily/mailman: Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/lib/mailman/cron/checkdbs", line 73, in ? main() File "/var/lib/mailman/cron/checkdbs", line 28, in main list = maillist.MailList(name) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/maillist.py", line 64, in __init__ self.Load() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/maillist.py", line 546, in Load self.Lock() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/maillist.py", line 887, in Lock self._lock_file = posixfile.open( File "/usr/lib/python1.5/posixfile.py", line 216, in open return _posixfile_().open(name, mode, bufsize) File "/usr/lib/python1.5/posixfile.py", line 81, in open return self.fileopen(__builtin__.open(name, mode, bufsize)) IOError: (13, 'Permission denied') Exception exceptions.AttributeError: '_file_' in <method _posixfile_.__del__ of _posixfile_ instance at 80afab0> ignored Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/lib/mailman/cron/senddigests", line 37, in ? main() File "/var/lib/mailman/cron/senddigests", line 30, in main list = maillist.MailList(name) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/maillist.py", line 64, in __init__ self.Load() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/maillist.py", line 546, in Load self.Lock() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/maillist.py", line 887, in Lock self._lock_file = posixfile.open( File "/usr/lib/python1.5/posixfile.py", line 216, in open return _posixfile_().open(name, mode, bufsize) File "/usr/lib/python1.5/posixfile.py", line 81, in open return self.fileopen(__builtin__.open(name, mode, bufsize)) IOError: (13, 'Permission denied') Exception exceptions.AttributeError: '_file_' in <method _posixfile_.__del__ of _posixfile_ instance at 80c0b00> ignored run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/mailman exited with return code 1 [View Less]

new install: 404 error and empty cgi-bin?
by Christopher Kolar Feb. 2, 1999

Feb. 2, 1999

Hi everyone. I have just jumped in to my first mailman (b8) install on a system running Linux (2.0.36) and apache (1.3.1). I have looked poured over the access.conf and srm.conf files and everything looks like it should according to the install notes, but still no go. I get the message: [Tue Feb 2 11:38:56 1999] [error] [client 205.212.40.220] script not found or unable to stat: /home/mailman/cgi-bin/admin One thing that I would like to ask: the cgi-bin directory is empty -- I would have … [View More]
