Bug in Mailman version 1.0b8
by Harry Mangalam Feb. 8, 1999

Feb. 8, 1999

Hi there - just tried to install and set up Mailman 1.0b8; other relevant info is in the below error message which I can't interpret. Could anyone shed light on this bug? The only thing that looks odd is the line which says: PATH_TRANSLATED /home/httpd/html/yeast (sorry for the line shift - must be a table translation artifact) this path does not exist - and it doesn't look like there's anything in the setup docs that would have me set up a link to the … [View More]DOCUMENT_ROOT. Did I miss something? The URL that caused this is: http://cx408397-a.irvn1.occa.home.com/mailman/admin/yeast Error message follow: Bug in Mailman version 1.0b8 We're sorry, we hit a bug! If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what happened. Thanks!

GID problems (and yes, I ran with --with-mail-gid)
by Scott A. McIntyre Feb. 8, 1999

Feb. 8, 1999

Greetings, I seem to be running into something that must be even more obvious than running configure --with-mail-gid=X after doing a make clean (or even removing everything and re-untarring)... My logs say: Feb 8 08:49:02 3C:tardis Mailman mail-wrapper: Failure to exec script. WANTED gid 300, GOT gid 998. (Reconfigure to take 998?) When I ran configure, I ran it as so: ./configure --prefix=/usr/people/mailman --with-mail-gid=300 And no errors were reported. Yet whenever I post to a … [View More]

Stopping multihoming 'feature'
by Corbett J. Klempay Feb. 8, 1999

Feb. 8, 1999

I know I've seen this discussed and answered once before, but couldn't find it in the archives (argh, time for me to make that indexer/searcher :) I know it's a feature where Mailman treats my machine differently, depending on which name is used...but how do I turn of this functionality? I know I saw that you could change a 1 to a 0 or something somewhere to do this :) This machine is both chimera.acm.jhu.edu and www2.acm.jhu.edu, and all these acm guys keep trying to do stuff by using … [View More]

Hostname in mail headers
by Marcus C. Gottwald Feb. 8, 1999

Feb. 8, 1999

G'day! We are now running Mailman 1.0b6 on several different systems and it's working great! However, I have a problem: One of the computers has got several names. Mailman's support for this seemed to be very good, but although the preferred name has been set to an alias name, mailman continues to send mails with the hosts main fqdn in the sender's address. Is this a known problem? (Meaning: Am I doing something wrong that many people do wrong?) Cheers, Marcus
