Mailman 3 June 1999 - Mailman-Users

Mea Culpa (was: Apparently To header)
by John-David Childs 02 Jun '99

02 Jun '99

As others guessed, it was my sendmail configuration which caused the "apparently-to" mail header to appear: # action to take if there are no recipients in the message O NoRecipientAction=add-apparently-to I added this years ago to assist in tracking SPAM when there was no defined TO: line (so I could see which of my InterNIC registered addresses was being targeted ;-) I guess I'm still at a loss to explain why sendmail didn't pick up a recipient, but I'll take it up with the boss tomorrow. THanks everyone.

Dropped SMTP Connections
by Jerry Alexandratos 02 Jun '99

02 Jun '99

I've been getting the following errors on certain mailing lists I manage: May 25 15:23:21 1999 TrySMTPDelivery: Mailman.pythonlib.smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected / Connection unexpectedly closed (dequeued) Any ideas what could be causing this and what I can do to fix it? Oh, and before I forget, I'm running the following: OS: FreeBSD 3.2 MTA: Exim 2.12 Python: Python 1.5.2 Mailman: Mailman 1.0rc1 Thanks in advance... --Jerry name: Jerry Alexandratos || Open-Source software isn't a phone: 302.521.1018 || matter of life or death... email: jalexand(a)quansoo.com || ...It's much more important || than that!

need help w/RH 6.0, sendmail 8.9.3 and mailman rc1
by Jerry Adlersfluegel 02 Jun '99

02 Jun '99

I have moved my installation to a different machine, and have installed mailman 1.0rc1. I have created a list and can send mail to myself via the list, but not to anyone else. I keep seeing a "relaying denied" in the maillog. I am able to relay from the localhost, and from other machines on my 192.168 network. I don't see what's going on, and I actually suspect this is not a mailman issue but rather, a sendmail one. If anyone has mailman running on a vanilla redhat 6.0 system, I'd appreciate any help. Thanks -- Jerry Adlersfluegel

archives: not splitting at correct date
by Christopher Schulte 01 Jun '99

01 Jun '99

I've got an archive for one of my mailing lists: http://lists.schulte.org/pipermail/pptp-server/ The archive is supposed to branch off at the end of the month and start a new one. For some reason the new JUNE archive started with messages that were posted at the end of May. http://lists.schulte.org/pipermail/pptp-server/1999-June/thread.html http://lists.schulte.org/pipermail/pptp-server/1999-May/thread.html You'll see what I am referring to. Any ideas? Many thanks. -- Christopher Schulte WEB: http://www.schulte.org/ EMAIL: christopher(a)schulte.org FAX: (209) 391.9867 "The more I give to you, the more I die!"

If you allow locahost (127.0.0.1) to be an open relay (which can be a totally acceptable configuration) mailman is quite happy. -- J C Lawrence Home: claw(a)kanga.nu ---------(*) Linux/IA64 - Work: claw(a)varesearch.com ...

It looks like Mailman does: MAIL FROM:mailman-owner@sws1.ctd.ornl.gov instead of: MAIL FROM:<mailman-owner(a)sws1.ctd.ornl.gov> I wonder what other SMTP corners were cut. -Dave

run_queue just hangs...
by Dave Cinege 01 Jun '99

01 Jun '99

Mail man seems to be running OK now, but 'run_queue' does nothing but hang eveytime cron runs it. I woke up this morning a 'ps' tree full of them. I can't find and error's directly and if I run it as the mailman user (list) it does nothing. The most I can get is this when I Ctrl-C out. Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/cron/run_queue", line 31, in ? OutgoingQueue.processQueue() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/OutgoingQueue.py", line 88, in processQueue lock_file.lock() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/flock.py", line 182, in lock time.sleep(self.sleep_interval) KeyboardInterrupt Eh? It's sleeping on a lock file?? -- http://www.linuxrouter.org/ Linux Router Project Over 750,000 people are now in jail for consensual 'crimes'. 2 million more are now on parole or probation. 4 million more will be arrested this year.
