The variable name in the code is 'anonymous_list', and the relevant focus is in Mailman/MailList.py . There's a section where the setting is defined, and another setting in the Post() method where it is used. A common simple trick for investigating the setting would be to make calls to self.LogMsg(), e.g. self.LogMsg("debug", "anonymous_list: %s", anon

system_aliases director

April 16, 1999

I have the Mailman web administration and user adminstration functions working now. This seems like a huge improvement over Majordomo/MajorCool. I am getting the following error: Neither the system_aliases director nor the address_pipe transport set a uid for local delivery of |var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post sales I am running Debian GNU/Linux 2.1.

I wrote the following installation script trying to follow all the docs. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Hi there, I upgraded to Python 1.5.2 and now my webbrowser only returns :"the requested URL /mailman/admin/xxx was not found on this server" Did I make a mistake with the upgrade or is this a problem with mailman?? Your help is greatly appreciated! Nikolaus

errors...
by Adam April 15, 1999

April 15, 1999

I'm getting these errors in /var/log/cron from mailman. Can anyone tell me what this is all about, and how to fix it? I know that the cron daemon is being asked to run this via mailman, but is this just a permissions issue, or possibly a bad install? I'll also attach an emailed error that I used to get, but no longer get anymore for some reason... mailman (04/15-11:12:00-5473) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/run_queue) mailman (04/15-11:42:00-5481) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/run_queue) mailman (04/15-12:00:00-5485) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/senddigests) root (04/15-12:01:00-5487) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) mailman (04/15-12:12:00-5492) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/run_queue) mailman (04/15-12:42:00-5498) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/run_queue) root (04/15-13:01:00-5501) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) mailman (04/15-13:12:00-5506) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/run_queue) mailman (04/15-13:42:00-5513) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/run_queue) root (04/15-14:01:00-5515) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) mailman (04/15-14:12:00-5519) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/run_queue) mailman (04/15-14:42:00-5529) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/run_queue) root (04/15-15:01:00-5532) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) mailman (04/15-15:12:00-5538) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/run_queue) mailman (04/15-15:42:00-5551) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/run_queue) root (04/15-16:01:00-5556) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) mailman (04/15-16:12:00-5560) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/run_queue) mailman (04/15-16:42:00-5570) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/run_queue) mailman (04/15-17:00:00-5576) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/checkdbs) root (04/15-17:01:00-5578) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) mailman (04/15-17:12:00-5599) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/run_queue) mailman (04/15-17:42:00-5606) CMD (/usr/bin/python /home/mailman/cron/run_queue) This is a copy of one of the emails I used to get: Traceback (innermost last): File "/home/mailman/cron/run_queue", line 31, in ?
